SEASONABLE ADVICE TO The OLD-LiSE WHlGS.
Suggestions have recently been thrown oni in number
Of hghynueniial and respectable journals in the North
and West with the view Of directing the attention of the
odine wings the alleged necessity of recognizing their
party aud of holding their customary National Conven
ton In noticing the Of the Louisville Courier the
Boston Courier and other line whg organs in regard
10 this subject the Louisville Times takes occasion i'm
part the following seasonable advice:
f these gentlemen will eably they will meet and
resolve TO act with party during coming
presidential canvass and help to crush the vile reckless
and designating spirit Of ownothngsm. After that
they reorganEe their party they desire to do
continue their support Of the administration which they help
place in power until such time honest difference
governmental policy shall demand the part Of the dis
sentient ganzaon Of another party upon basis dill
fsring from the policy Of the administration.
This would be consistent with patriotism and
with the character which has been csined for
the old whig party. The organization off ncoa xt this
time with ring questions Of policy differing from those
the democratic party, would be unworthy of intelligent
conservative aud patriotic Nor parties built up
By such botbsd growth They erected upon fund4men
tai differences Of opinion, upon constitutional construction
and policy; and until these differences arise Is folly to
attempt force party into existence. There
fundamental differences Of opinion upon the policy Of the
country between democrats and oldne wings There Is
therefore, nothing prevent their cordial cooperation in
coming When together they have beaten down
only Of the fundamental principles Of the constuticn bat
the constitution ITSELF il win be time enough 70 entertain d
ferences Of opinion upon Questions Of policy.
If the old line Whig therefore, What they have al
ars el4ined protested their arst daty
Gs consultations. The nothing party, in section,
ha. become contemplate abolition party and its funda
mental basis throughout the Union attempt overthrow
civil and religious liberty. No Conservative old line whig
honestly standing upon the principles Of bis old party
for a act with cuuntenanee such party On the
contrary every principle upon which they 50 long struggled
against the democratic party nat impe them with hun
dredod power active aud anrelening hostility know
nottingham. They position Of neutrality or
indifference Liberty and the constitution in danger,
and every patriot mu act recreant 10 his duty 10

THE NATIONALITY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
The View Haven Courier thinks that II Nsssrs. Orr,
Cobb and other southern democrats who addressed
mass meeting in New Hampshire last week, properly
questioned and cross-examinsA they, the they
represent would be damaged To which the View Haven
Register replies with great force ard truth:
Ths shows how little q the opposition pres
