The Democracy OF Massac husetts.

We have already noticed the dongs OF the oe-soil
party in Massachusetts,. at their late State convention,
held last week Fichbury The telegraph brought rs
Thursday evening the general result of the proceed
ings OF the democratic State convention held al Worces
ter on that day 1t appears that the Massachusetts
democracy has by irrational resolulons planted itself
firmly on the ground OF the Baltimore platform, az
cupied by the democratic party throughout the country
II appears also. that in Massachusetts, as in New York.
there has been held Boston convention OF "hards,"
disconnected with the policy OF the administration, and
willing 10 defeat those who rally upon national demo-
cratic principles in its support II this organization
protesting TO be uItra-democrac-s poll any votes
at all. Just 40 many votes will be Withdrawn from
the democratic organization which susains the Pres-
dents policy and this subtraction from the democratic
force of the State. whether il be large or small will in
ure directly to the benefit of the wings or OF the free
soers and tend TO give 10 other OF these hostile
organizations the plurality in the State. Such as we
understand III is the positon of the "hard democrats
who have INST in Boston. II il shall turn out-which
we do not that there is any difference what
ever Of opinion principle in regard 10 the sectional
Issues between these and the democracy as repre-
sen,ed in convention Worcester, then The Boston
hards' will have an excuse eas, pe,ence. which
is wholly wanting TO the ''hards" ia New York. On
the other hand, the Boston ''hards" assembled at
distance OF some sixty miles from the democratic con-
venion at Worcester TO be presumed that they were
not 'stertihed" by bulIies and were, so far ut Mr.
Baness letter be ue) in better plight than some OF
the gentlemen who assembled in the Globe Hotel at
Syracuse
Without pursuing the subject further ourselves, we
give place TO The following remarks from the Boston
Post written. il will be anticipation Of the meet
ing OF the democralic convention. and shadowing forth
the true course for all democrats TO adopt We entirely
concur in the statement Of the Poet as to the truly ma.
tona policy for the FUTURE and he truly comprehsn-
sve policy TO past opinions" in which the democratic
parry OF The country organized and uiumphed The in
ference of the Post il equally irresistible to the effect
that BY the adoption OF this policy the democratic
party itself decided that all who took their stand on
the Baltimore platform, and went with The democratic
organization, were regarded a. good democra,s' The
democrat be he who he may who fnds the continuance
Of such union impossible unn plainly takes ground
IN opposition TO that taken both by the democratic party
and its administration.
The Post very properly contrasts the aspsct OF ths
New York democracy. planted a. il Is on the Baltimore
platform, with the organization OF the Msssa-
chuse,s free-soilers support oil the Buffalo doe
trinss To say the cases are not parallel - less
true than to say that tho is the exact opposite OF
the other. Every argument which proves that Inc
democracy OF New York ought to unite - one man IN
support Of the administration, instead OF dividing IN or
ransa,on at the when they agree In principles
goes equally to prove that the democrats OF Massacha-
se,s ought also 10 unite against the free-so orGaniza-
ton there. In fact in New York. as in Massachusetts
there 10 free soil organization, under the lead OF Seth
M Gates and Gerri, Smith. This Organization no dem.
ocras in New York proposes TO support although those
who divide The democratic party there, At the risk
Of giving the State to the Sswardi,ss. are doubt
lees to thai extent cooperating with the frss- sosrs
,saiast the administration and it, policy.
