DEMOCRATS TO OLp-LISE Wnros.-The
Times Of this city vouches for the Demo
cratic authority Of the Richmond Enquirer
The Enquirer talks to the Old-Line Wings
in this wise:
"We invite no man Of Wing principles to
join the Democratic party. Such an over
ture would be ms insulting TO him a. unjust
to our party. A person with Wing convic-
tions cannot be admitted into the Democrats
ic organisation, without to some extent cor
rupting its integrity and debauching its
principles. We invite no Wing to come into
the Democratic party, unless he chooses vol
UNFAIRLY and from conviction to abjure his
ancient faith, and to profess allegiance to
our peculiar platform"
Commenting on this the Richmond Wing
says: "After this, we are sure that no
Wing not already o dog at heart can unite
with the Democracy in the coming cleo

fore Mr.. Merriam was not in fault, and the
paltry inference which the Times deduces is
groundless, The charter was rather long,
and did not, in consequence, appear as
promptly as we intended, but yet, partly by
accident, was delayed one day longer than
we designed though il is matter of no
great moment, any how.
