quite wro,hy because wewill not admit that there
has been Democratic Organic ,tion ia the TER
ritory. -. -~-e- ~ -
w it'll due Difference 10 the better Judgment OF
Mr.. T., we are ..of the same opinion slil.r and
we can account for the difference Of opinion be-
tween ourself and the correspondent, Of the Dem
ocrat, only on the suppositon lha. he is near
sighted. lie cerainly has no. been able TO
beyond the LIMITS Of the town Of ST. Paul, nor
the large number of Democrats who have refused
all participation in the meetings Of The self-siyl-
! cd Organization, because the Organization has
been for personal, and not for political objects. IN
III kindness we would request Mr.. Il. to extend
his VISION aud when he has ascertaned the facts
~ The case, let him speak ca mildly, let him d.
vest himself Of all personal f. ii2aal feelings,
and then say whether there b 80 Terrific
rial Organization Of the .5einoc.a-.; ...!:y. We
believe we speak from the record when we assert
that such an organization never did exist in this
Territory. We were present, and Ind the hon
or Of pre-. siding at the first democratic meeting G.
yer held in the Territory; i, was for The purpose
Of taking the init,atory steps for effec,ing demo
cratic organization; many at that meeting spoke
in opposition 10 the policy; they considered it to
be injadicous and uncailed for at The time. A
ori,y being residents of 81. PAM, an e-gnnza-
ton was decided upon, 10 effect which We labor
ed TO the extent of ur humble abilities, until we
clearly perceived that the organic 2tion was re-
solving Itself into personal factioa and ceas-
ed TO act with il.
We will not presume to say that there Were
not many good democrats who cont,nucd to act
with the sol dissG nj organization, bat we d. derry
that there was at any Tine, a letter democrat
connected with i, than ourscli. Democracy knows
no grades. A man is democrat, he Is not
democrat Ii he advocates and aboss 10 promote
democratic sentiments If he seeks 10 dSscali-
nate democratic principles If he wars against
all sentiments opposed 10 the leading fslllres Of
the Democratic creed, we hail him as IA brother
Democrat, the highest, the most noble appcilation
in the Eng'is language. On nc 81 her hand, let
a man bawi democracy necessarily, from, the first
Of January 10 the hirtyGrsi Of December, if his
GctS are repugnant 10 Democratic principles III
he exhibits disposition to sacrifice prime pies
the altar of personal interest, if he shows desire
TO secure facttonrl ascendancy,to sever political
party ties, we disclailn him and cannot acknowl-
edge him as democrat, bat look upon him as a
political Judas, ready and willing at any romen.

acted in accordance. with il. We certainly ACT
ed iu accordance with those sentiments when we
ceased 10 act with falcttoa that had ceased 10 be
guided by democratic principles, and we acted
in accordance with those sentiments IN our aun,-
bic connection with that party hi;i has support
ed and guided the infan. steps Of c-r Territory,
unit! she has attained strength to maintain the
high and commandns position she occupies
Is there nan in this Territory, thai feels d
greater regret than we DO, that circumstances
have compelled US to labor, N many instances, in
opposition to those whose professions appeared
TO accord with our own, but whose acts we could
not recognize as democratic:
No, friend T., there has not been up 10 this
date, Democratic organization in the Territory
We believe such an organic llicn necessary 10
the proper diffusion and pcrmane supremacy Of
Democratic principles ana instead cf QH;.frc..ias
about Whether a small faction in ST. Paul is the
Democratic party of the Territory, j, is the duly

the party throughout the Territory, the necessity
