The Duty Of a Democrat.

The GAINESVILLE Aurora says: Since Il e
Wing party has, in treasure disbanded,
and given up all reasonable hope of again
uniting as national party, we have heard
the question asked if it. was necessary for
the great Democratic party to preserve its
discipline and organization. This question
can only be put by some unthinking Demo
.crat, or person who did not reflect that the
great strength of the Democratic party lay
in organization, or that Without organization
its principles would be ofno avail. s.'..
Never was there time since the election
of Thomas Jefferson as President of the U.
States, when organization and discipline was
more necessary in the Democratic party
The reasons are obvious. Never since the
election of Jefferson has our principles been
more violently assaled, or when the con-
tending factions which oppose us appeared
more reckless in their efforts, or lost to all
thought for the consequences which would
likely follow upon the success of their fanat-
ical and sectional striumphs. s"' .a.
e Look around you Democrat and calmly
and nddispassionately view the political horizon
In the free States the whig party has aban-
doned its former professions and organizl-
ton, and its forces are now filing the ranks
of sectional and bigoted factions, whose de
signs are pernicious, and whose aims, if ac-
compished would not only dissolve this glo-
rious Union north and south, but lead and
,lriveus now free and happy people into con
fusion, strife and civil war. .... ....f, ....
p. Abolitionists, open and proclaim war a.
gainst the institutions of the South, and the
great principles Of self-goyefnment, are now
the CHE ished IDEAS Of corrUp; hordes Of Of
fee seekers ia tA2 North, and nothing shor
of the thorough organ zation and sleeples'
vigilance of the great Democratic party
North, South, East ond West, can arrest
their sectional and nccndiary progress.
The end with these Sc e,tional fusion horles,
lustiGes the means, and it is the duty n ev-
cry good Democrat and friend Of his coun.
try to arrest their evil works, which can on
ly be done by discipline, and concert of ac-
trn amongthe hosts Of the great Democrat
&c family, ' ... ...
In some SVsallqes, even secret political
societies are being formed for the purpose
OF prescribing and persecuiing some of our
citizens in consequence Of their relis isious be-
lief and place OF birth, which can only be
exposed and checked in their works of evil
by the organization oil the great Democratic
party. "@@'.f
Democrats, your duty is plain to under
stand, it being to sustain and protect your
felloW map in the enjoyment Of political and
religious freedom and equality, the cherish
ed balwarksof freedom il should be pleas
ing and agreeable one topertorm. a fA
its then the duty of every Democrat, TO
strive to keepgup the organization of his
party. The enforcement of our principles,
which alone can save our glorious Union
loip the despoiing hands of the sectional
and higoted fanatics who. would dissolve it,
requires he work of every Democrat. =
