While affecting 10 think tina, the Dallas Herald has
.tulhsl itself in supporting Reagan eoiointy with
the oihernomineos Of the State domoonto oonvsntbp
the Insllgsncsr shuts It's eyes to the nsinine aiold
its Of IN own position, Cut ofhis own mouth he
stands condemned. and what is sauce for the gandsr
must necessarily he sauce for the goose. Reagan,
Runnels, Lubbock, waul and White were all nomi-
nees OF regularly organized democratic oonventans
pledged 10 the support Of all the well Recognised
principles Of the democratic party. as embraced in
the Cincinnati and Waco platforms, including the
Virginia and Kentucky resolutions. (both conventions
rejecting and kicking out all offensive resolutions
atng to the re-openng Of the slave irade) were adj
yoeates Of strict party organization, aud mutually
supported and voted for each other on the day Of
election The editor who seems TO be affected with a
monomana concerning Treasury Pap" aud ''Publie
Printing" and who writes glibly about "disunion
per sc ''secession," So, must have had some good
reason for selecting Reagan and White from tbs list
since the views Of Mr.. Runnes embraced in what the
opposition Press choose to style his secession message
we're endorsed by Judge Reagan in his letter to Maj
Marshall, and the substance OF which, he reierates
in the following paragraph from his late Palestine
letter:
"And while to this end, as well us for other
reasons, am opposed to tho re opening OF the
African slave trade, TO filibustering, and to dis
union Dor Be and the formation of Southern
confederacy on one hand, am on tho other OPP
posed to the idea of slavish devotion to the Union
under violated constitution. The advocacy OF
neither is necessary for our happiness and secu-
rity, and the advocacy of either nay lead us to
dangerous extreme"
Farther than this, neither Runnels nor Reagan are
seccssionsts but the Intelligcneer may think other
wise.
II Mr.. Runnels uttered disunion sentiments, and
the Intelligencer opposed and denouced him and IL
the same paper supported Judge Reagan, who en-
dorsed these views. sustained and voted for Mr. Run
nels then the Inelligencer must fall into the pit no
has dug for others Neither Judge Reagan Dor Mr.
Runnels are disunionists but have, both of them,
to resist ga sayish devotion" to the
Union when rights under the constitution are Vi
plated. The Intelligencer still shows disposition to
cling to Reagan's coat tail, as was charged upon |
Lem Evans during the late campaign there must
be virtue in it, or something else The democracy
will lay hold of the virtue, and leave the something
else'' to the Intellgencer and his sort
AS to the statement that White was ever denounced
is untrue.
