The man who is particular in regard to
his associates, is seldom annoyed By posi-
tive vulgaTity or abuse, and never liable
TO suspicion. That which will apply to
individuals, is generally eoIrec; i'll regard
to political parties. For years, the Dem
Ocratic party Of the North has groveled in
the dust at the feet Of Three Hundred
thousand Shareholders, for the sake Of
obtaining the reius Of government and re-
yelling in the spoils Of ofice. Tue party
has sacrificed, cooiiy, the interests Of mill
ions of free white working men in the
North has assisted TO destroy sacred com
promises; has tTuekled, until almost ev-
cry particle Of man.iness aud dignity has
deserted it, and we find ihat once proud
orsau;zliion in 1860 is kicked and cuffed
at the pleasure Gifts Southern taskmas;ers.
Charleston, as our readers are aware, Is
selected as the city for holding the next
National Convention of the Democracy
OF course, in addition TO the delegates,
many respectable gentlemen would na'u-
rally be desirous Of being present on so III
terestiug an occasion. How are a.ey to be
treated? The Charleston Nelcs says,
plumply, that the private doors Of Charles
ton Will be closed against them, and that
she will ''conter more I7atehhy than hos
pitalay upon item" 10 addition, the
mos. exorbitan, charges will be made for
sojoUrniug-flom 50 to SO Per Gay for
each person.
THIS viii be, certainly, unpleasant, if
submitted to, yet what viii the friends Of
Douglas be atle to d.? The Charleston
Mercury, Of the 10th, says:

when they pTa,et of the danger 10 oe aPpre-

Here is the gauntlet thrown down bold
ly,.0y body accustomed to rule Northern
dougbfaces. Az, and they expect sub
mission. "You shall not" they say,
"meet anywhere but in Charleston aud
We will treat the friends Of Douglas with
marked contempt"
This is al instance Of the bad effects of
an alliance with men accustomed to use
the lash. They are no, apt to coufne its
use to the backs Of their slaves
In contrast, we will have this year the
assembling Of the Republican National
Conventiou, at Chicago-frecmen, il the
literal sense, welcomed to the free homes
of the citizens of Chicago, all emulous to
show the visiters every attention, while
the hotel charges will be reasonable. No
threats assail, in advance, that party, for
its associations have been pure and uude-
fled.
Profitable lessons can be CLEANED from
the histories Of political parties, as well as
from individual record. They confirm
the truth of the old proverb, 'houesiy is
the best policy."-RasUiHe Journal
