aThs wing. and the Factions

Such the caption of article in which the Republic
Of Friday continues It's exultaon the aspect of dis
sension which, in it's Judgment at this time the demo-
cratic party presents.
The Republics proposition is, that the free soiers and
the friends Of the Nashville convention policy have club
bed their forces together and rumphed the national
democracy so far as 70 make the democratic party repu-
date the compromise measures. The Republics proof
Of this proposition found in the aclion of the New
York democratic State convention, and in the subsequent
action Of the democratic congressional caucus here.
Our readers know that we have not been careful to
conceal or cloak up the signs of dssension which really
exist in the democratic ranks nor the peril they involve
unless they can be cleared away. We have, therefore
good right to claim the character Of candor in this
matter, when we affirm tina, the Republics proof is to-
tally insufficient 10 sustain its proposition.
The New York democratic convention emphatcaly
congratulated" the country upon tbe settlement by
Congress" Of the sectional issues, deprecated all fur
hsr sectional agitation" and pledged the democracy OF
New York to unite with the national democracy at Bal
dnore, and 10 support its nominee This is proof
elusive tina, the democracy Of New York united and
ned the State upon determination not to attempt or per.
nit the disturbance Of the Compromise.
In the manner, the democratic congressional
Gus did not consider the question OF disturbing the Com.
promise subject of discussion, and laid aside

nor dmed nor calculated to strengthen measure

present proposed either to or alter.
