The unity and Integrity Of the Dem sfratie
Organization.


=, Organization.
i Since the demise Of The old Whg and biuh
Of the Black Republican parties, the people OF
the South aud the friends Of The Union have
felt and believed that the rights OF the one and
the perpe'uliy o' the other, are and have heen
dependant uDSn the unity integrity Of har.
mony oi the National Democratic party. They
have looked to ia beacon light and the ID.
lar star OF their gudunce-as the rock of theif
sniety-int hence they have uniformly frown:
ed down all altenirts al division and all sqiut:
ings nj heresy.
And so must they continIe 10 regard The
Democratic Organization, so long ms Black Re:
publicanism continues 10 Ue a "power in the
State, aud so must they coiiiinue to frowif
down every man who, and every effort which
looks TO lis disruption. The great mass of the
people have no interest in the elevation of this
or that particular man, but they have vital IN:
iereSt IN the preservation and integrity of the
Democratic party as the organism through
which their principles can alone be safely and
securely perpetuaied. They are neither fof
Peter nor are they for Paul, only rs the repre:
sentative Of the true faith.
These reflections have been suggested "
the tendency of things which at present nor.
tends no good There is a spo, on. the sun,of
the Democratic party, which il Is we'll the neo.
pie should know aud see. There tsvSn eli:
dent effort ON the part Of son!e II Hiasnify an1
to conStrue the present contest in Illinois as 4
contest between Mr.. Douglas and the Admin:
lslralon, when in fact, it is only one between
Mr.. Douglas and Mr.. ,hncoln-be,ween BE-:
mocracy and Black febuBlicanisth This il
our view OF the question, and hence we have
so treated 1t. We regret exceedingly TO wit.
ness the continued and embittered warfare 90.
! ing on between MIR. Douglas and the Washing:
ton Union It porsends no good, and il per.
slstedctl, must aud can result in nothing but
rulrSrthe hopes OF those who regard the uni
ty OF the Democratic party as the shield OF
their safety from the deadly and poisonous
darts of Black Republcanism. The division
OF the Democratic insures the triumph of the
Republican party, disaster which every friend
of the Union and supporter of the Constitution
must deprecaie. IT., as many believe, the
Washington Union is backed and supported
by the Administration of Mr.. Buchanan, ithas
ii in its power to bring about the result And
if, as many others think and believe, Mr.
Doug las is determined to prolong and contin-
ue the arrangement between himself ana lis
Administration, ergendeted last winter he
has it in his power TO produce the same rest,lt:
This is the precpce pom whose brink we
stand. Dissolution and disaster stare us in
the face, and for ourselves we can see but two
means Of escape. Fhe first is reconci,iD:
ton between the Administration and Mr..
Doug las, which we hope may be consummatej;
and the other is rigid adherence TO the an.
cient ncages Of the party. In the event fIYt
h., hron ~
the masses OF the people 1--WE mean the Demo-
cratic party' determine and pledge themselves
TO adhere to the Convention system, so !cng
recognized blythe Democracy as legitimate, pro.
per and safe, and let them further pledge them
selves to the support of the nominee of The
Charleston Convention.
The politicians and schemers are at work
thf5dghou the Union, having an eye TO the
Presidential election of 1860 The Black
Republican party organization is thorough,
compact and powerful, and will have cand-
date in the field. The Democratic pnrty. Of
course; will have its candidate, who will be the
nominee of the Charleston Convention, and
from present Indications there will undoub,ed.
ly be third candidate will not be an Ameri
can or Know. Nothing, nor will he; h our judg-
ment, be an Old, Line Wing. He will be some
one who has power, influence and frieHds
enough to brng about dissolution of tlre
compact Democracy of the South, There are
elements already at work in the South sutiic-
lent to justify this conviction We hear o.
the Southern Leaguers, Fire Eaters and Ma:
tiona! Democrats, and we begin to hear in
whispers, of such persons as Administrations
md Douglas Democrats Mr.. Douglass by
some, on account of his detection on the Le.
comp on question, Is denounced as traitor and
while By 5.hers, it is said he has
been badly and unjustly treated by the Admin
isttatoh. Criminaiicn and re.crimination are
thus passing back und forth, showing clearly
that the estanSetheht Is one Of peculiarly
nature. Shall the Democracy o. the
Union, and especially of the South, be severed
and divided on a question so insignificant
a pretext so fimsy! We hope and trust not.
Barring his detection last winter, we are, and
always have been, che fast friends and varm1
admirers of Mr.. Douglas. Our support Of and
devotion to the Administration Of Mr.. Buc-
hanan are not only not suspected. but above
suspicion We know nothing Of their private
anmositles, if they have any, nor do W. be-
leve that the great mass of the people tr,s
anything about them; but we do know that
great interests are at stake. and il beh iovcs
every man who has the welfare of his country
at heart, to watch closely, and scrutinze calm
