sectional clement is still stronger among those
opposed q the democracy in Texas than II is H.
tile democratic PARTY proper, in proportion To
the numbers in ehcht and that IL is the pryi-
loge Of m's to act with any political party they
please. Membership of any party resting upon

ANY nov party which could now be formed
would, ave no doubt, contain large number
OF those Who have never been democrats and who
have sttaiily opposed that party, And this
would be strange anamoly TO see party OrGan-
lied in u, name of democracy composed in n
large dcgre, Of the hereditary enemies of that
party. Sich party could not command the res
pcct and c)uidcnce Of the people, and could not
promise itself either durability, or success for

And such movement would be regarded By de-
mocrats in the other States as one of the ever
varying types of opposition movements which |

country. ythc assumption Of any name which |
cXpciiucy might suggest, and the adoption OF
amy principles which it might be supposed would
command pNblic favor or no principles at all il
such q con'se were deemed most eXpedient.

by the new movement to adopt any other than
the plt'orm.oi the present democratic purity
And 1t striKss ma thut it would be easier for
those who. in good faith. wish to act With the
