believe the reason why Mr.. Shcahan did not
endorse the Democratic ticket was simply be-
cause the movement was gotten up and carried

men: Lei the Executive Committee resi- ign, and
then let us elect new members from among the

democrats, known 10 and beloved by the Whole

4 DorGLAs DEMOCRAT.
The appearance oftlis article III the Herald
1T the present time harmc,lize well witt, What
is duly said by men who last Gll were Jealous
supporters Of Mv. Douglas They declare that
it never was any part Of their intention to fol-
low Mr. Douglas out Of the Democratic party;
TINT they fully intend to abide by the usaecs
! If the party. and will he found hereafter stand
in; on whatever platform tile Charleston COIL
yeutiuu may see proper to erect, and giving a
warln support to its nominees. They say.
moreover, tllat tie pledge recently given by
the Chicago Herald to do tie same entities that
paper to the confidence Of all who desire to
maintain tile integrity Of the Democratic party
willie the refusal Of the Tuus to give the samc
pledge is to say lllc least Il fact that will war
rant the Democracy III watching its course very
el,scly hereafter.
On the whole it is :: very nice quarrel as it
stands. Two to one the "Sweet Williams"
with them: two to one the Herald will bccu1ne
The only recognized mouth piece Of tile regular
pro-slavcry Democracy Of Cook County.
