The Democratic PARTY.

In this LAY of excitement, bitter strife and
sectional agitation, when mon seem to plot
treason, to excite insurrection and rebellion'
and when the enemies of our free institutions
have even sundcred the lies which once bound
many Of the religious ORGANIZATIONS in The
bonds Of Christian fellowship, and united the
members thereof, whether they resided in the
North Or i'll the sont!I, it is gratifying to mote
the fact that political organization still ex-
lists, the principles Of which are as broad rs
the Union itself, aud The members thereof
whether they reside iii Maine or Louisiana.
delaware or California, or any other Of the
States Of this Union, are i'll feeling, sympathy
and attachment, The defenders of the Cvnsi-
tuition, the lovers of the Union, unl the stead
tlst friends OF the glorious institutions under
which we as people enjoy such rich blessings
anu privileges. The Democratic organization
is co-extensive with the Uncn; it is in every
State, and its votaries are impressed with the
absolute necessity Of maintaining tile ascen-
dcncy In the affairs Of the nation, and holding
alolt its banner Of nationality until the enc
mlesof the Union are oyertLrewn and eftrctu-
ally put down. II is believed that the success
OF sectional fanalcism would be fatal tie the
Union, and all agree that if rupture were to
take place in the coufrdcracy Of States, it
would be fatal to us as a people. The evils
which would follow no man can calculate. H.
is the determination of the Democratic marty
that II they can prevent it, no such evil shall
bcal us.
We believe that an intense interest pcrvalcs
the great mass of the democratic party at this
time, impressed as they are with the grave I'M
portanee CT the position they occupy, ana the
critical condition i'll which the peace and safety
of the Union is placed, by The designing
schemes of mad and ambitious neil, who have
wlckedly and too successfully excited many
of the people of the free States against their
brethren of the South, TO u degree that por-
tends the most serious danger. The condition
of things as they now exist must be met bv
the Democracy, and the waves of dis,.nion and
treason must be turned back and the authors
of discord and ianaticsm reLukeI and aetcat-
cd. To meet the eXigcrcy in becoming
manner it will be necessary for Democrats
North and South TO not irittcr away any OF
their strength by discussion, within their
own organization, Of distractions which
amount to hut very little practically, no differ
cncc how they may be settled. Let the whole
energy Of the Democracy be put forth in a
united and vigorous war on the enemies of tho
Union, and the equality and fraternity Of the
States. wherever they may be found, and let
that war be kept up firmly and effectively UNI
Til November, 1850, when the fruit will he IL
glorious victory over those who would willing.
ly pull down the pillars Of the Temple of Lib
crty, not caring for the consequences that
would follow their mad schemes il successful.
Let the watchworl he union and harmony in
The ranks of the Democracy, and the political
destruction of the enemies of the Union. In
lor that motto all Democrats can rally and
tight the good fight.
