The Troubles Of the Democracy
and u Remedy proposed.

The democratic press Is very severe upon
DIR, Averett for his rebellion against caucus
dictation. In or own party,we have had SO
many experiences of the kind, that We have
come to look upon such things with mole toe
ration than our antagonists exhibit. Especial
ly in such case as that of DR.. Averett. do we
think there isa large margin left for charity and
forbearance. 1t was unjust to him TO have

men would calmly submit to.
Originally, so far as there was any right to
the candidacy, il belonged TO Dr. Averett,and
not TO Mr.. Bocock;-but the latter was not
