and disastrous blow not only on the Democ.

cratic party Of the North, and consequently
as we have shown, on the great consistent,
conservative. and national party of the
Union. A wretched minority Of dislurbers
take objection, on personal grounds, to the
action OF the legitimate Democratic State
Convention, called by the authority Of the
State Central Committee. which was ap.
pointed for such purpose by previous
Democratic Convention. and which is in
strict accordance with the ussges of the
Democratic party; they bolt from it, and
set up for themselves nickname their clique

to the recognized organization OF the State,

That i, is bcnous treason, and the blacklist
treachery TO the party, is evident from the
result which il is attempted to produce. We
have seen the four years war within the
Democratic ranks in New York by the de

We do not want TO see the Buffalo plat.

rebuilt in Illinois. II is natural enough
that parties Of that stripe, who invented thu
system Of voting and boiling against the
regular Democratic nominations, should, as
they do, encourage rebellion whenever Il
raises its head; but the very fact that Coch
ranc & Co. have had to fall back upon the
favor OF the united Democracy, proves how
weak, impolitc and good.ior.nothing were
the petty organization Of boilers. This Hi
nois boiling is q second edition of the Buffalo
treason, and it is backed up by the men who
made that platform. only to raise themselves
at the expense Of the party.

admits OF no equivocation on any side issue
