strength in them Having principles either calculated
keep life in the party give il strength the Times
regards them useless il offensive members 10 be
Topped OF and cast away useless burdensome
The democrats have abored for years satisfy southern
wings that the whig party at the North were too
strongly imbued with abolition sympathies to be fl
political associates for southern men. The suggestion
repealed with indignation, aud the few prominent
names which maintained odor of nationality were in
voked TO the false imputaon When every north
ern wing in Congress united with the aboonists
in opposition to the Nebraska bill aud when not OF the
prominent that had heretofore furnished the
the democratic charge could be appealed the truth Of
the charge fell with crushing force upon southern wings
Its truth is only confessed but openly exulted in
by the Times Under such circumstances, il hardly
necessary for the Times formally excommuncate the
southern wing of the wing party from further association
with very few exceptions they had communicated them
selves What those few who still cling to the old assoca-
ton will now do where they will CO. il is difficult TO
conjecture The Times tells them plainly that they not
worth having because their numbers insignificant
and they numerous that heretofore they
have proved drawback The vital principle of the whg
party hereafter is TO be its uncompromising opposition
the wing party in twain and leaves southern wings
tcrmine whether the Times is right in regarding the old
principles Of their party having little avitay
strength" in them to constitute party platform
Whilst this process Of dissolution and reorganization is
going in the whg party it Is not to be overlooked that
the Times the democratic party at the North the JUS
ce say that they have not gone body and soul
the aboonsts The most that it can say Is that the
democratic party divided the slavery question: and il
INDUCES the hope that the gabotionknow-noth-
ing organization win gain much from this division ms II
will lose by repudiatng the southern wings This view OF
the Of parties the South and the North furnishes
the proudest commentary upon the nationality Of the
democratic party that could be presented that the
democrats have heretofore INDUCED in idle Wanting
when they have claimed be the Unonsaying and Union
perpetuatng party. II brings forciby to view the re-
sponsibility which rests northern democrats in the
present trying crisis Southern democrats must be heart
less indeed if they did acknowledge with promptness
and the obligations they are under TO those no.
BILE democrats the North who have deed the power OF
anacism and stood by their nationality for the sake OF
the federal Union We do not despair of the final restora-
ton of many northern democrats now claimed by the
Times recruits to its organization We shall not
readily believe that any who has been an acceptable
democrat win be found joining in an organization which
owes its vitality and its strength TO miserable sectional
prejudice digned by the of principle of oppos-
ton the compromises of the constitution 1t must
be forgotten that such organization if it shall
prove successful inevitably result in dssoying the
Union whether this is its object not the legitimate
consequence of issue such the Times is aborng to
make up must be the dissolution of the Union Democrats
who cling the Union with undyng affection will not
fail to look closely this feature in the new amagamaton
of factions at the Nortan amalganaton which openly
procaims its sectionasm its only principle of vitality
and strength" Every democrat viii remember that the
vitality and strength of his party rest upon the principles
Of nationality which enables northern men and southern
men 10 stand shoulder shoulder in defence Of the Union
