Senator Douglas will BE- rcconcilcd long before

particular, but when Democrats do differ it j,

elections. We have had family jars" IN Cal

nominees. When voting time comes the
Democracy present an undivided front, and
invariably give their candidates Il cordial sup
port. On one isolated question they may diff
fer, but that difference never drives them int,
! the ranks of the opposition. The different
, factions arraycd against the Democrat clarty
work lovingly together, are on the best oI
terms and agree in every thing until their Con-
vcnti0nS meet and nominate candidates, then

are not actuatcd by principle, they have no
confidence in the pcorlc,-th,ir sole object j.
