their political creeds. No mathematical PROPOSE.
ticn is more true than that the only basis of party
organization is an agreement amongst those who
enter into it upon the subjects which they recognize
as belonging to its creed They may differ as widely
Is possible all subjects not embraced by their
party creed, but to be harmonious inside their organ
isation they must haze common sentiments and stand
together on a common platform. These truths will
command ready assent, and they demonstrate the
proposition that party embracing members al the
north and The south be national or Harmonious IN
us organization scheh does not exclude The question
Of slavery from It's creed. II Northern men insist
upon ENGRAVING upon their party creed the doctrine
that slavery is moral or political evil, they raise
an insuperable barrier against harmonious associ.
alton with Southern In like manrsr, il South
ern men insist on making party creed that slavery
is morally and politically right they thereby cut of
Northern men from political association with them
The Necessary result is, that without federation CT
differences of opinion to the abstract question OF
slavery parties are necessarily sectional and cannot
possibly be national"
Lest Mr. Nicholson should object to any
construction zoe might place upon this remark
sble paragraph from his paper, we will appeal
TO Democratic authority, to which he will
hardly take exceptions. The Nashville Union
and american of the 23d nit, took occasion
TO say that the Richmond Enquirer has been
for ''many gears the first Democratic paper
IN the Uaion!" Now what does the Richmond
Enquirer say Of this paragraph from Mr..
Nicholson's psper9 Read:
"But we have no patience with doctrine like
this We shall not undertake to set forth painfully
and argumentatively the monstrous nature of this
new canon of Democratic faith. To the South,
nothing could be more dangerous or repulsive.-
Neutrality as policy To be neutral on the slave
question at this crisis Of public affairs is to be hos
tile to the South.
To claim to be a national party, and yet have no
principles on this leading, abiding, overshadowing
question of nationality, is mockery OF political
honesty. To have no views nor principles on that
question is to be destitute of all principles what
ever, save the principles of the loaves and fishes
Aboitionism vaunts its Higher Law and assails the
national Constitution with fendish basphemy and
venom. The Democracy stands listlessly by,
pluming itself on its nationality, and pamperng TIE
assailaats with Office and plumber Neutrality like
this is, If possible, worse than Abolitionism, and
she South will have none of it"
Such is the position, on the slavery question,
as understood and interpreted by leading mem
bers of his own party at the South, of the
man who comes out here from Washington Oh
ty, and undertakes to lecture Tenneesseeans
upon their duty to themselves, to the South, to
the Union and the Constitution, upon this
most delicate and vital subject. See where
the combined authority of the Nashville Un-
ion and the Richmond Enquirer places him.
The Charleston Mercury and New Orleans
Delta are no less explicit and severe.
We advise Mr.. Nicholson before he comes
on another mission to preach political ortho-
doxy to the people of Tennessee, or any part
of the South, as a Southern Democrat, to get his
credentials reneUed
