Tn. Ohio Democracy and tn. m.mph,. Appeal

There is a newspaper published at Memphis, in Ten
nessee called the Appeal which, protesting be demo
cratic, did in the last State all that its influence
enabled it to do defeat the election OF Governor Tous
dale by seeking identify his with those doctrines
the Nashville convention which nineteen tweneths OF the
people and eenths Of the democrats Of Tennessee
pudiate and condemn. Not satisfied with its work then.
the Appeal has taken now TO playing into the hands Of
the wings, by denouncng the democracy OF the North,
and revng the Washington Union because it refuses to
Join in those wholesale denunciations. Accordingly the
Nashville Banner-the leading wing organ OF Tennes-
see-hls up large space in its columns with long ar
Gle from the Appeal, by way of showing, what pro-
esses to be democratic authority that the South ought 10
repudiae the democratic party and put its faith in the wing
organization
In order to expose the foul game the Appeal is playing
n this NATTER we cite passage OF its article quoted
by the Banner
But II is the tone in which the action the Ohio democ.
acy has been received by the national democratic
gan-the Washington Unon-ihat especially COM
mands the ohe South and mpels, by the strong
est duty those of the southern democratic press who
are seadst the old aud reverend creed OF the party
sound The alarm, and their readers against being
duped and htedd into coalition ,ohoe victory Wod be
their disgrdee and ruin.
"The Washington Union, as is shown by the remarks
which we have previously quoted from IL, winks il il
encourage, the Chase democracy Of Ohio. IL finds
nothing their resolution which should exclude its sup
porers from political ophp with the friends Of the South
Let us turn that resolution and examine its
bearing. Here 1t is
'Rssoped That the democracy of Ohio do now, they
always have done, look upon slavery evil and unia
voabe to the full development of the spirit and practical
benefits OF free Institutions and that, entertaining these
sentiments they will at all times feel IL to be their duty
use power given by the of the national compact
prevent the increase to mitigate, and finally eradicate
the evil But be IL further resolved, that the democracy OF
Ohio do, the tme fully recognise the doctrines
held by early father, of the republic, and still main
each State belongs the right to modify its own municipal
laws, and regulate It's own internal affairs, to hold and
maintain equal and independent sovereignty with each
and every State and upon rights the nationa
gisature neither legislate nor encfoach.'
The Warrington Union weieomss the framus aud sup
porsrs roion the derocrafic fold If this s
tended pave the way for the admission of free soil
and principles the National Convention, enter
protest"
The assertion Of the Appeal that the Washington Union
winks al il il does not encourage, the Chase democracy
OF Ohio" is unquafedly false. We have never held,
nor intimated that Mr. Chases and position, since
his election TO the Senate entitled him TO be regarded
democrat On the contrary, wa have maintained that
il he proposes to unite with the democratic party he must
do so on platform implying remuneration. in the new
circumstances of the country, Of his aboltonis
II is utterly false that we have approved pro.
essed to approve, that part OF the Ohio resolution
cited by the Appeal which is not contained or implied in
the Baltimore resolution on the subject But when
we saw last summer, the Ohio democracy raliyng upon
that resolution 10 elect Gov Wood, we remembered
ist That upon the resolution Ohio had been car
ried by the democracy against Gen Taylor and Mr.. Van
Buren, in the presidential canvass OF lsas.
I'd. That the condensation Of the Ohio wing State
convention last summer openly disavowed all obligation
responsibility of the whig party OF Ohio to maintain
the compromise measures
3D. That the wings of Ohio, in pursuance Of their dec
laration had placed in nomination, against Governor
Wood, as staupch an enemy Of the Compromise as Mr..
Giddngs himself
