WORDS OF ADMONITION TO THE AssAILANTs

AM DErENDEkS Or GOV. hALhER.
While some Of the assailants of Gov. Walker have
permitted themselves TO be thrown into transports of
rage, ana employed epithet and denUncation with
unsunted laYIshuess; while they have sought even
TO duplicate the President in a joint responsibility
with the Kansas Governor, and manifest a DISPOSE
ton TO question the sOuudness of party that
alus what they conceive to be the Governors usur-
pations; many Of the journals, the other hand,
that defend Walker, have come up TO that defence
with spirit quite as needless, RASH and as ac-
rmonlous. Some of them, with indiscretion
that almost amounts to political crime, have treated
the assallants OF Governor Walker as though they
were the proclaimed enemies of the administration
anu OF the Democratic party. They have even taken
1t upon themselves, in some instances to issue for
mai bulls Of accommodation against them. Should
moderate, prudent, reasonable men keep silence,
and suffer these rash spirits to keep up the warfare
they have commenced, division and ACKNOWLEDGMENT
would soon be theresult. Can the Democratic par
ty afford to divide? All of US know that it cannot;
and those who seek to effect such division, mat
ter on which side Of this Kansas controversy they
may stand, merit much more of censure than Of
praise
lsit necessary for those who defend the action of
Governor Walker to apply Odious epithet and exas-
perated denunciatiOn those Democrats who do not
approve his policy? We think not We know not
Some Of these journals call all those Democrats
who do not concur In Governor Walkers policy ''the
chiYalry EXTREMISTS - seeessionists." 'nufers,'
'.factiOnists, - &c Some declare that they are not
Democrats, ana others coolly and insutingy advise
them to 90 over and join the Wings.
Now, no matter what the Richmond South the
Charleston Mercury, and the New Orleans Delta, on
the one hand, and the Washington Union, the Rich
mond Examiner, and the Richmond Enquirer, on
the other may say; believe that there is no seri
Gus disturbance in the ranks of the Democracy.
True, efforts being made to excite discomfort,
disturbance, and division, and these efforts are en-
Outraged by the Jealous and active cooperation of
the opposition journals everywhere. We here enter
our humble protest against allowing a few hot-head
ed editors, however able and however sincere they
may be, to produce discord and division in our par
ty We say that man honestly hold that Mr..
Walker has gone too far, and be Democrat We
say that a man may honestly hold that Mr. Walker
has not gone too far, and be Democrat For our
selves, we will never consent to make Mr.. Walker or
Mr. AnybOdy-else the test of Democracy.
Charles the Fifth amused his leisure hours by try
ing to make number of watches run together He !
failed. And any will be disappointed who ex-
poets to see minds think exactly alike. There
will be differences of opinion, long as there is
any honesty in man. So we agree in fundamentals |
that is sufficient We can expect more But to |
suppose the worst: it is better to act with party
which does wrong sometimes, than to quit it in dis
gust, and join party that dose wrong always
