The true Democrat., 1854-06-20
The Disaffection of the Gazette.


 Happily for the democratic party of Pulaski county, and happier still for the democracy of the State, the cooperation of the Gazette is not necessary to their success In many hard struggles, and on many trying occasions, they have carried their cause against the opposition of its editor, and they will not now be besurprlsed or disheartened to learn that they will have It to do again.
 In its issue of the 9th inst, it had an article denunciatorv of conventions, and ln Its last number it takes grounds of open and uncom- promising opposition to the democratic noml- nees of this county. This does not surprise any one. Its opposition is natural and in keep ing with it's past course.
 There is one thing however to which we de- sire to call attention. Its strctures upon the democratic convention held at the market house in April last strike us as singularly strange and inconsistent. It says:
 "But the convention which nominated them like tue abortion msscaled democratic conventa0n t the naorket house tew aoees since, is no erpres sion cf tue a0iH cf Meparty"
 It is not to defend the character. of this con- vention, or it's right to utter the sentiments of the democracy of Pulaski, that we make this quotation-these need no defense at our hand uttoshow to convention democrats the inconsis- tency into which the Gazette is driven by its unpardonable opposition to the organization of the democratic party.
 This convention now so confidently pronunc- ed an "abortion'' was held "at the market house," in April last, for the purpose of ap- pointing delegates to the Princeton convention and to the senatorial district convention. Dele gates to the Princeton convention were appointed and instructed, and among the number was the name of the editor cf tue Gazette." Strange as it may now appear, this appointment, conferred upon him by an abortion miscaued densocratic co'1uenataon," he accepted, and to carry out its instruction, though he now says they were mo expression cf tHe aciUcf heparty,'' went down to attend the Princeton convention. To show how important he then thought this conven- ton was, he left his office here, and was absent nearly week. He did so to the neglect of his sworn duties as Auditor of the State, at time when his attention was absolutely demanded in his own office to settle the revenue with the sherifs
 Thus it is evident he thought, at that time, that this convention should be represented at Princeton, and that it was more important than h. tl, come over him! He now characterzes that convention as an abortion which did not cypress tue aOW of he party,! Such must necessarily be the inconsistency of paper protesting to be democratic and yet opposing democratic orga- nization
 The Gazette says, n the struggle here be- tween the whigs and democrats, it will fold its arms and look on'' "witA as nauch complaceucy as did tte oonaan ac1o, on seeing tue fight bet0een her Husband and q 6ear, satd hurrah AtssJandi huyah Jeor' / don't care chich achips" This ele- gant comparison appositely illustrates the posi- ton of the Gazette and the character of its opposition, and had 1t searched the world over could not have found one more appropriate or pointed. The woman to whom he likens him. self, was a faithless heartless wretch and sought the destruction of her husband to whom she had plghted herlove and afection-the Gazette, equally faithless, seeks to consign its party, to which 1t owes so much, to the clutches of its enemies!
 We deem 1t matter of rejoicing that the Gazette has, at last thrown off the disguise which has so long covered its true character and concealed it's real designs. An open enemy is less to be dreaded than a treacherous friend.- The democrats of Pulaski we are glad to find are not discouraged by its disaffection, but on the contrary seem to be stimulated to re- newed eXertions
 Our standard bearers, notwithstanding they labor under the displeasure of the Gazette, are confident of success. They are men of long standing in the county-men whom even our adversaries esteem and respect
