OPPOSITION ISrERMEDDLISG.

Nothing would be more gratifying TO the opposition to
the democratic party than the friends Of the several
candidates for the Cincinnati nomination indueine in
bitter warfare Of acrimonious elimination and recrimna-
ton II with the hope Of exciting and dituspg dsen-
sons in ranks that such statements as the following
by the correspondent of the New York Times are
and circulated ANIL EtN NEftE&
WAsHrssros, Tuesday, May IS.
An effort is making under the lead OF Sam Medary SEN
ator Bright and other Northwestern democrats now here
effect perfect union among the delegates OF that section
the Cincinnati Convention 10 cast its as unit for Pierce
or Douglas, whichever shall prove the strongest.
is scarcely necessary for to caution our democratic
friends against giving credence 10 any such Inventions
this 1t would suit the purposes of the black republicans
to make the impression Mr.. Buchanans friends that
there combination being formed by the friends of Messrs
Pierce and Douglas We cannot suppose however that
any impression be made by such shallow devices OF
the common enemy.
The whole story arises from the simple fact that whilst
the respective friends Of General Pierce and Judge Doug
las have abstaned scrupuousy from irritating and aer
monious illusions to each other or to Mr. Buchan-
an, of the pretended friends of Mr. Buchanan
have sought rather to crafty their hostility TO his
competitors than to promote his interests Betwixt
the three distinguished aspirants named above, as
ISsPcctlNc lHe Conpcti-
ton for the nomination is characterized by the best per-
sonal relations and the kindest personal feelings How
could such patriotic statesmen Buchanan Douglas and
Pierce entertain for each other any but the most cordial
feelings of respect and attachment General Pierce and
Judge Douglas have been identified together in the great
Nebraska strugglethe batteries of abolition Islander and
abuse have been directed alike against BOTH They have
stood side by side and deed the btterest assaults Of their
common foe General Pierce showed his high appreca-
ton of Mr. Buchanan by committing to his charge
the honor of representing the government at the first
court in Europe Mr. Buchanan has proved how sincerely
he appreciated this distinguished mark of confidence by
contributing all in his power to shed lustre upon the
administration OF President Pierce If any Of them
has had the misfortune to have friends whether real
pretended, who, either through indscreet zeal
malignant revenge have infused into the CANVASS bit
terness which is incompatible with the true relations
of the asprants and injurious to the harmony of the
party the offence, the may be- ought to be
down to lis real authors and not be visited upon the
distinguished competitors We believe the delegates
the convention viii be able to discriminate properly and
keep their minds unnauenced by the ndiscreet
cous conduct of those who have given for fears
to harmonious nomination 1t is quite necessary to
guard against the influence Of ndiscreet and false friends
against the ntermeddling Vaccinations of known enc
