Party nominations.

Parties are formed for the purpose of carry
ing out principles which men think of import
ance, and which could not be earri d out
otherwise SO we'll. The means of carrying out
these principles are the election OF men to
Office who are thoroughly imbued with them.
But as Offices have both Lonor and emoluments
attached to them, many men or the same prin-
ciples become candidates for the same Offices,
and if all run and each get a number of the
votes of the men who are the same way OF
thinking with themselves, all will be defeated,
and their principles will thus suffer dctriment.
Hence the necessity of Conventions to make
nominations. whereby but one name for each
Office to be filled shall be presented by men OF
the same minds. These men, thus acting, con-
stitute a party, and the men they nominate be-
come the regular Nominees Of the party. 1t
follows, then, as the primary object OF forming
the party, was to concentrate the votes of All
its members upon q single individual for each
office, that it is the duty of each member to
cast his vote for the nominees. These are
trite truths, but it becomes every party to cher
ish them and keep them in mind, and We es-
~pecially commend them to the Democratic par
ty of CHS county. Here, no doubt, we have a
small majority, and a steady adherence to them
will secure the advancement of our principles
by the election of our men. 1t will not do to
say that such a man does not suit US as well
Tor q certain ONCE as the man we presented
and therefore we will not vote for him.. The
convention, the TRIBUNAL, agreed upon by
common consent, has decided different. The
fact that you presented your man before it, is
evidence that you ACKNOWLEDGE its compe-
tence, and you cannot in HONOR, do otherwise
than submit to its decision. Look where a
different course will lead-you will not vote for
q man because you preferred some other, and
thus defeat him; next year the friends Of the
defeated candidate will not vote for your man,
and thus defeat him in turn, and thus we have
a long train of defeats and disasters. Our
party at present is a unit as near as any party
can be, but we wish to impress upon all good
democrats new and forever, that there is no
rule of safety than to stand by the regu-
lar nominees. With that for eur rule of ac-
ton We challenge victory-without it We run
the jaws of defeat. Let all feelings of
selfshness and disappointment, if any exists,
be sacrificed upon the altar of principle. Let
US MANIFEST our love for principles by stand
BY the leaders chosen by our duly c~onstitu-
ted representatives. in Convention. There is

Sam Houston and the Pres;denc,

The New York HerdM of the 10th, contains
q speech of Gen. Houston's making, and de-
livered by him to the people of Texas from a
platform erected in the town of Nacogdoches
in that State. The speech was circulated far
and wide during the canvass, and was COM
msuted upon by the newspaper organs of each
party. In that speech Houston announces
himself as follows:
| am a democrat of The old school. In pol
itics l am an old to2y. An old iogy, because
l cling devotedly 10 those primitive principles
npon which our government WAS founded. and
under which the constitution wsnt into opera
ton. l have no modern improvements to
make on the principles OF our fathers. Form
the principles they enumerated can be deduced
all that will make our country prosperous aud
glorious, and its people happy. You may
change parties, build up and down platforms,
but the principle. Of democracy Will remain
intact until, liberty shall have expired and moth
ing remain but anarchy and despotism.
Oh his vote IN the Klnsas-Nebraska bill, the
General spoke thus:
Two peaus ago you gave me a little the wors,
skinin" that mortal iuan ever got. 1t was a
regular drunbIng. You beat ME after the best
style. as you had i right to DO. | had voted
against the Nrbraska btll and bad voted against
MIR. Buchanan. Well. that is past. The Ne
braska bill has had its day. aud he results are
seen. What they are | will moi sa, but | will
say that Elk Governor Hammond, one of TIE
most profound statesmen in the South, and one
whom yonr Legislature has fully Endorsed, has
declared The kansas-N ebraska bill was a de-
fusion and L deception from the beeining."-
sit was Il snare TO those al the South. 1t was
ro.tea-wFI ftaud,~aHd tt'ose who made it
hinched from its consequences. Other mem-
bers OF Congress and Statesmen have drciar-
ed that the South was deceived ia the bill
l was the only extreme southern senator who
voted against it, an0 for that you whipped me
like a cur dog. Ii was wrong, / own it. and
take il all back: and IL YOU were wrong, Tor
give you. So we win start even again. 1t is
past. This is no time Tor dragging out dead
issues. We have cruwding upon Us enough in
the present. and we should meet them ike
men who feel that the destiny OF The country is
in their hands, and that history will hold
them responsible.
The General justified his support of the
Administration OF Buchanan, ana his opposi-
ton to the policy of Pierce.
The General then denounces Seward and the
advocates of the african slave traue in the
South-challenges investigation into his own
past, and then deals in general p. lltics.
The Herald is going IN Tor houston with a
vengeance. One whole page and a column of
another is filed up with his one speech, and
tken a column Of editorial comment.

little merit in being active because personal
friends are on the ticket Activity at such a
time is a slim test of democracy. The true
test of love for democratic principles is, to be
AcTIvE-to spend and to be spent-when men
personally obnoxious tn you. are placed upon
the ticket. The spirit that leads to such deeds
needs cultivation here. and We trust it will yet
be nurtured and cherished until We stand by
our regular nominees as h eark of our political
safety. Then jefferson County will be redeem
