Senator Douglas Letler

The Gazette Of this morning, in speakiul
of the letter of Senator Douglas declares
The letter Of Senator Douglas explode.
like bombshell in the Democratic camp
and is likely to produce a tremendous rup
ture in the already tottering party. All the
9thcial organs, under the patronage OF The
Executive, and the treasury pap. suckers
generally, denounce Il freely, and without
stint or reserve
The assertion is an Infamous ialsehood.-
There is no schism iu the Democratic canr;
and in the whole Union only three or four
Democratic papers have found fault with the
letter Of Judge Douglas Their remarks are
published, quoted, requoted, and cummt ntod
upon by the Republican press, until the
country is flooded with them, and then the
Republicans turn in and declare that the
hubbub which they have themselves orea-
ted, originated in and threatens destruction
to the Democratic Party.
The Democracy as whole, whatever
views they may have rs to the propriety Of
Judge Douglus writing such letter ut this
time, fail to see in it any of tho disastrous
consequences to their party which the oppor
Sitiun love to contemplate
Even if the letter was uncalled for, it
contains nothing to distract the harmony OF
our camp. A gentleman addresses Douglas
desiring to know whether he will permit the
use of his name before the Charleston con-
vention, for Presidents He replies that il
the Democratic party adhere to their former
principles as expressed ia several national
measures and at former conventions, he will
allow his name to be presented but if they
adopt certain new measures which he ment
tions he cannot in justice to himself accept
the nomination if rendered. Now what is
there wrong in that? ANY man certainly
has the right to say whether he will be "a
candidate for nomination or not, and he has
the right to say that if certain things are
contained in the platform, he cannot accept
thc nomination. There 10 no party, all the
members of which hold exactly the same
views. 1t is to be doubted whether there are
dozen men in either the Republican or
Democratic party who have er1otiy the same
opinion on tie same political subjects. But
that does not, by any means, prevent them
from working together as whole. If Judge
Douglas, or any other man, does not agree
with everything the Den ocTacy choose to
adopt that does not prevent them from act-
ing with the party, They may prefer not
to have their names come before conyen
tion;-that is matter which depends upon
their own pleasure-but it is the motto OF
our party to sink all personal predilections
in political contest and battle together for
victory.
