The Fifth District.


The Democratic party of this District assembled
in Convention st MurfreesborO' some weeks since
and nominated Gen. BATE as their candidate for
Congress He declined the race, and the Convention
deeming it unWise to make another nomination, ad-
iOurned finally with the distinct understanding that
there would be no uomin alton by our party in the
District at this election. Whether this was a wise
course or not We do not pretend to decide; it is
sufficient for US that it was matter of policy pecu
liarly within the province of our party in the Dis
trict to decide for themselves, and they have met
and acted according to their Judgment. Following
our inVarsble rule as to the adoption of the action
of our party on all matters or questions in regard
claims for office as binding upon US and others who
claim to be members of the party, we now think
that 1t would be unwise and inexpedient for any
Democrat to make himself candidate for Congress
or topermit his name to be used as such in the Dis
triet, Whether Democrats shall vote for Mr. READY
or Mr.. HATToN, or either Of them, ia q matter for
every voter to decide for himself en- the lights be
fore him But the party have decided that they
'iH hare no candidate; ami we think that no person
who has the success of our principles at heart could
justify himself in thwarting that course.
We have been induced to submit these views from
call, forwarded TO US for publication, en- dstir-
guished Democrat Ct the District to run for that
Office, aud from intmatiOns hsye had that others
had been solicited with the same view If a pro-
per convention, regularly called caunoi decide the
question whether it ia proper TO run candidate
ftrsfhce then they have nc authority at all and cur
party ussges are of NJ avail Democrats evsrv.
where, II they desire our triumph must, in matters
not involving principles, submit unhesitatngly to
the opiuons of the msjority when formally ex-
pressed. Patriotism demands the sacrifice of indi-
vidcsl views and opinions to the general welfare
Nc gS,Ss is pOssible in the absence Of such subp;s.
