another, and TO bring into contempt the name OF every

Maine to California the cry OF the democracy is, acqu-

constitutional action to prevent it's execution But the
cry OF the Southern Press the very opposite. IL says

STATE AND NATIONAL DEMOCRACY
Al this uncure few words relative 10 the actual po-
siton of the democratic party oil Tennessee towards the
democratic party OF the nation scarcely be considered
premature. The notes OF preparation for the APP
preaching contest heard all sides, and It is not tit
pared To choose the ground upon which can fight
and win the battle shoulder TO shoulder, with our breth

To fail 10 do so is to invite defeat or TO make victory
vaueless.
We believe that upon none OF the grea. principles
which have united the democratic party since lis ounda
hair
ments; and still less do we agree with those who seek 10
disseminate the idea that the old party issues have been
dissolved, and that hereafter new combinations must be
formed.
We ask for no combinations; seek for no new
standard The glorious banner which has been upheld
successfully by the hands of Jefferson, OF Madison OF
Monroe of and Of Polk, upon whose folds the
suns OF countless victories Stale and NATIONAL have cast
such unfading use, is the standard OF our choice and
