ference OF opinion amongst democrats, as well as
amongst wings as to the merits OF that mode OF adust

and out OF il grew no little excitement But after all that
has been written this subject. il may be well
doubted whether practically, il is matter OF any great
consequence whether secession is peaceable right

oppressed will not stop TO inquire whether is peace

We are aware that the late discussions have been
characterized by somewhat OF the warmth which
marked the progress of the issue in the late elections and
the revival of the feelings incident to such contests con-
sluies the chief danger Of revivng the discussions To
the TO which il has been carried not able to
see that any have followed which ought
be regretted if except the temporary estrangemeni of
tives OF Mississippi but which was soon arranged in
manner entirely honorable TO BOTH The points in issue
between the parties at the South were settled by the people,
and there should be, there is disposition 10 proong
the contest After full investigation the popular judg

The popular judgment in the northern States, far

harmonic on this bass' The late discussions have
shown that democratic harmony is thing which may
yet be attained because they have shown that the d
ferences Of opinion which prevailed may all be reconced
upon the simple plan OF regarding the Compromise
permanent adjustment of the slavery question 1t is
not necessary to union upon this basis that any
democrat shall be required to make any recantaon Of
former opinions. Those who approved the Compromise
measures in themselves right may continue 10
approve them, and those who condemned them as
wrong may still condemn them, provided they pre-
pared to acquesce in them a final settlement II
is not necessary proper that approval OF these
ures should be made test of democracyit is enough
that they received final adjustment and this
extent the popular judgment has declared overwhem
ngly in the late elections 1t is not necessary that the
doctrine Of secession shall be again discussed With
out disturbing these vexed questions, the whole de.
mocracy may meet upon the ground of
acquiescence in the Adjustment, and thus present
unbroken front 10 common enemy. To attain
TO this position, discussions should be temperate,
fobearng, and concilatorywh.her they have relation
TO present preferences OF 10 our former differences Of
opinion to the merits OF the compromise measures. If
discussions shall be marked by moderation shall
have TO regret the dssensons which now give
hope to our enemies: they will work out their own
through the conservative spirit which exists in the body
OF our party, and which will be invoked to action by the
dangers which to threaten us. We have
our party upon two presidential contests with the
strongest evidences OF popular strength and have
overwhelming defeats follow. Ii becomes bear these
historical facts in mind, and, by timely precaution TO
avoid a similar result in the approaching contest The
responsibility is great which rests upon and if
do our duty we will that. when the national
inaon is made, the hopes OF enemies shall be dssi
pated, and our harmony become enthusiastic as our
dissensions are now public. We may indulge the
freedom of debate in expressing warm admiration of
favorte candidates, and in vndicatng claims TO
the honorable title OF democrats But there should be
limit even TO this freedom. When the time shall come
for selecting candidate should adopt the motto,
" EVERYTHING THE cAusE-soTmso FoR MEN"
