TIE political campaign seems to be fair
ly open, and the different forces are in the
field. BY card in another column it will
be seen that third or rathera fourth par
ty is about effecting an organization, but
to what extent, or what its effects are to
be, we are yet unable to say. Should they
however attempt any Independent action,
its effect will be entirely negative, and will
be felt in its fullest force against the cause
they aim to advocate. But if their inten-
tention is TO select from the candidates of
the other parties the best men, and con-
centrate their forces on them to the exclu>
sion of worse men, they may do much
good.
The last Democrat ccnns cut in its US.
ual style of clustering and assertions Of con.
fidence in the overbearing power of the
corrupt dynasty that has so long belabored
the people of this state. Although the
state has borne the burthen of the most ex-
travagant administration for the last four
years, without receiving in return even a
single good and wholesome law-although
our legislatures have time and again as
sembled at the various places designated
as our capital, made removals, planned and
perfected political schemes, given and re-.
celved bribes, bought and sold political
prefermen:s, concocted and carried out
schemes of aggrandizement for each other,
all at the expense OF the people, without
even decent show towards the transac.
ton of such business as they were paid for,
and which the people had right to expect
from then-still they seem to think the
same corrupt batch Of Office seeking dem
agogues have right to expect uninterrup-
ted success. You talk to US of being no
division in the democratic ranks-and vet
you say the whigs "are trying to make
capital ou. Of the dissensions which at pres
ent distract tho democratic party" You
say "tnere are not one hundred democrats
in the county who care whether northern
or southern man, as such, is elected to the
U. S. Senate" and yet prominent dem.
ocratic candidate for congress in this coun-
ty has been writing letters to southern
wings, urging them to unite with them in
defeating northern man. And of this,
the editor of the Democrat is fully aware.
You say there is no question Of north and
south in this county {; and yet you know
that some of the leading democrats of this
county have declared that they were ma
king, or as they supposed, had completed,
such schemes that "no man born north of
Mason and Dixon's line should ever hold
an office in this county"
And yet in the face of all this, you at
tempt to cram down peoples throats the
statements, "there are no divisions-no
questions of north and south" No. YOU
would have the people again go to sleep
and allow the same corrupt faction that has
ruled this county for the past four years
again ride into their fat places, there to gor-
mandise at tne expense Of those they SO ut
terly despise and treat with so much con-
tempt-if you can gather the crumbs that
fall from their table.
You tell people there is no division in
the Democ ratio party, and would try to
make them believe it and yet in the same
article you tell us the whole influence of
the Democratic national administration is
given to the wings. And against all this
you expect to retain in powerthe faction to
the burden Of whose corrupt and extraya.
CANT conduct the people Of this county and
state have so long, but not uncomplaininglv
submitted. You talk Of the wings having
no principles, but to oppose everything the
democrats bring forward, and yet you tell
Us in plain words, you are but faction
striving to tear down the democratic ad>
ministration-thus showing that your dec
lamations are mere emanations OF political
demagogues, who would as soon accom-
piish their ends by destruction OF national
principles as any other means, and having
no other means at command, this is used to
the fullest extent. Youappeal to the "great
mass of democracy" and yet admit you
are in opposition to national democratic
administration that was elected by twenty
seven states of the Union. The mass Of.
the democracy repudiate you! Talk not
to us your lying speeches and 'faction"
essays. We wish no lessons in politics
from ''democratic" paper published by
