having cherished unriendiy feelings towards the Ed
itors ofthe Jolrnl, and we cannot for moment be-
lieve the Journal would be unjust 10 charge US
with being either overt secret enemy. We
agree with the Journal and have so said in col
ulnns can lie seen by reference to files, during
the past week, that divisions and incessant wrang
ling amongst Democrats are productive Of no good
whatever, but are every one knows, detrimental
to the best interests Of the party, and and ir
retrievabe method BY which the Democracy can be
ousted from their present position an broken into
a thousand fragments. But it is needless for Us to
speak Of this disscnsion; views have been
pressed TOO freely ana often f3r them to be misun
derstood now. The journal says, when any re
specialize number call for Convention that very
fact indicates the existence Of such state Of things
renders the holding Of a Convention not only ex-
pedient but necessary fo healing divisions and pre-
venting their further growth" This is very strange
doctrine Iced and if il be demo cratic we must
confess we are not fully indo3trinated in our own
creed. The journal asserts by the abnvc that any
number i matters not hoH small = minority it be,
has undeaitoe right t. call a-conyention at their
option. Sucha thing is perfectly absurd. Note the
effect. DID the Journal or any one else ever see a
candidate, who WIS not opposed by some of his
own party, about the most trivial matters? IF
they have they can see deci lelly better than
