SECEDERS FROM DEMOCRACY.

The EUening Journal refuses TO see in the
course OF partieS-sucb as The taking up Of Blair,
Banks, Fremont, Houston aud Donelson-any
recognition OF the greatness and the political
fidelity to the Constitution Of the Democratic
party. Yet three of these men are taken up
because they are supposed TO bear in their gar
nents some odor of JackSonism. Cne is SON
in-law of Benton the other is Democrat of
Massachusetts. Their cecession is preoi of the
dissolution ofthe Democracy--So says the Jour
nal. Vain sophisry Mr.. Blair will not bring
ten Democrats of Maryla land into the Black Re-
publican camp. Mr. Donelson's "frr-ny lamp"
will illuminate the ''diSma swamp of mock
AmericanlSm without attracting single fol-
lower. Texas will be as Democratic without
Houston as with him. The Democratic party
will not be weaker for the cecesSion once hon
ored names will only sink, severed from the
connection to which they owed their promi-
nence.
We mourn the loss of such men, not for our
selves, but for them. But they are still OF use
to the Democracy. They serve ''to point NOR
al and adorn tale" Men Will conclude
seeing how all sections lay down their arms and
abandon their anlmostleS, in order 10 recognize
the justice of the Democratic cause, and to con-
fer honors on the least Of It's lraderS--ihat that
party is the party OF the country, and that in
tereSt, as well duty, invites all patriotic elt-
zens 10 IFS ranks.
