liar disorders On the frontier. Texas can,

The Secretary 81 War, IN lis letter to the

The Norfolk Argus, a Jealous advocate OF
the nomination of Gov. Wise, as next Pre-
sident, declares "that in the Democratic par
''ty' in Virginia, there are active and conspicu-
"ous politicians, whose sentiments and coun-
''sel do not entirely accord with the require
"ments of that high standard, which has
lever been, aud is still recognized, here and
elsewhere, as the truest and purest embodi-
"ment Of the unalterable principles and un-
compromising policy of the party" Grow
ing indignant at the contemplation of such
state of things, the Argus goes on to say,
THAT there are Democrats in Virginia,
hose conduct would seem to indicate pre-
judicial devotion to the interests of a man,
rather than consideration for the wants of
the country or the welfare of the party-who
would press the claims of personal favor
ito in the very teeth of popular disapproval,
and oppose with corresponding assiduity the
man of the peoples choice, even at the haz-
ard of disorganization and defeat; there are
Democrats III Virginia, in whose counsel
there is tendency towards compromising
the equality Of the States and the safety Of
the South under the Federal Constitution"
1t is very easy to perceive that recent in
dications of ocquiesceace in the nomination
Of Douglas, is the occasion of these decla-
rations

The "knowing ones" whose duty it is, to
watch the currents of politics. and predict
coming events" profess to be quite sure that
the Republican party will nominate Mr.. Sc
ward, as their candidate for President; and
the Democratic party, Mr.. Douglas as their
candidate. Surely there ought to be enough
national conservative men in the country,
North, South, East, and West, who prefer
come national conservative statesman to eth
or of these gentlemen, to be able to control
the election, and defeat them both.
