enough to attend to that matter when that Journal shall
become, even profess TO become. political organ,
TO enter the field Of political discussion.
In further illustration OF the idea that 'the old Jackson
democratic organization has out" the Republic refers
to the late unfortunate and trust temporary pro-
ceedings OF the Union convention in Alabama, upon
which ihs Journal has already explained lis views The
Republic rs more ingenious than we can claim TO be
il can discover in anything which has yet been done in
Alabama, or in Georgia, or Mississippi any Masquerade
obstacle or any sparabs mistake, which must prevent
the democrats OF those three States from adjusting their
differences at home, and spite OF dssensons upon
points either settled merely speculative. uniting with
the democracy of the rest of the Union to nominate and
elect President Our hope that this may be ultimately
effected resting the intelligence and patriotism OF the
people. fortified by the Republics admission that the
wing organization is extinct in Alabama, Mississippi,
and Georgia"
Should additional motive for such united action be want
ed for such the part of the democrats
rayed in the adverse organizations Of these States may
surely be found in the following explicit declarations Of
the especial ogan," that upon the continued conflict OF
those adverse organizations rests the only hope OF the
wings in those States. The Republic thus shows its
game
"Under these circumstances, the whig organization be.
ing ertincf amagamated in that of the Union party,
we do not THAI This party has any resort left except TO

selection of a presidential candidate We think
that men who in favor Of acquiescing the Compro

The candidates Of democratic and chg convention We
find not word in the Alabama resolutions In which do

therefore, that the Union deprecates the assembling of

the Alabama resolutions We should be pleased If there

the result"
This is as plain possible The Republic urges the
holding OF many separate Union conventions as posi-
ble 10 the end that the democrats represented them
may help elect Gen. Scott under the lead of Messs
Seward Wade. and Johnston, TO the presidency. We
think neither the Union organization any other
porary organization in the South, will stand any such
strain. We confident that no democrat who has
acted with the Union organization will be duped de-
uded into aiding bring about any such result that
he has beea openly orewarned Of what is expected OF
him.
1t was the boast-we think the just boast--of those
democrats who arrayed themselves as Union party,
that they did in defence of the constitutional au-
thoriiy OF Congress on single isolated ISSUE and
to meet the exigencies OF temporary crisis. They
claimed that, going into that organization demo-
Gratis, they would come out OF it democrats when
its work had been done. In that view we concuned
with them In that view the democratic party of the
North concurs with them In that vew-and iha, view
alone, as we beeve--they have been sustained by tn,
people We hold, therefore, that the continuance o.
the separate organization OF the Union party, OF
of any other third party at the South is only nexpc
