Rg- We make the following extract from
letter just received from distinguished and reli
able Democrat dated July Is, 1858:
81 regretto see your District in such unfortunate
condition. and unless the Course is pursued that you
int;mated in your paper 3h it is be feared that
of the strongest Democratic Districts will be rep
resentedby wing. By uniting ofthe candidates
such result can be prevented and surely our friends
will not risk defeat merely to crafty personal prefer
ences. 1t is to be regretted that so able a man as
Mr. Venable destroys his usefu ness to his party by
of stability in his positions. and certainty
the course he will pursue in the future A cause like
this unsettled the Democrats in his old District, and
finally produced division in our ranks and opposition
to him from Democrats when, had he been sur
and steady he would always have been an acceptable
Representative.
Your District will have 70 hold its present position
for ten years. and you may rest assured that if Mr.
Venabe is elected he will every year produce dissat-
isacton, Reorganization in the ranks, and finally
settle the whole district. He will add the
strength of hair 10 the Democrats. 1t seems you
will have nominated candidate; lFen the Demo
of The District ought TO stand by LEWIS and
for him, he is a exponent of our party
and, moreover if he is elected, you will have fears
of loss by an cratic course. You say you may
gard it incumbent upon you 10 speak out before
the day of election" This you ought, by all MEANS
to do, and that early day as would be pru-
dent. By means spare Venable. regard the
issue already made between him and the Demo
Gratis, and if he is elected, he will regard it 'r-
umPh US, and shape his future to suit his own
views, Notwithstanding they might be in contact
with the long established principles ofihe Democrats
l shall look your paper with increased interest, and
be that if you will open your batteries upon
MIR. Venable the Democracy of our section will stand
by you.
