A Few Words in Reply to the Express.


The Express of yesterday essays reply
10 our article Of sunday, in which we showed
up the glaring Inconsistency "s that paper
in It's advocacy, at the present time. OF re-
union Of the whole Democratic party. The
Express attempts to set itself Alright by reit-
Grating its stale assertion, that there are no
Democrats in the State except those who
voted for Latham. 1t tells us that the pre-
tended friends of Douglas, who opposed the
Administration ticket, do not belong TO the
Democratic party. While the Express reit-
crates this old stereotyped assertion. We viii
ask it TO remember that it has distinctly ex-
pressed its willingness that those whom ii
calls the pretended friends Of Douglas
should. after a specified time. re.unite with
what it terms the purity the
wing of the Democratic arty to which II
belongs II these pretended friends OF
Douglas" as The Express terms them. he M
democrats. why should it express it's iling-
ness 10 receive them at any time in the ranks
Of its party. 1t says;
ain speaking of the preference Of the people q
this st IL for Mr.. Dickinson, We alluded OF
course 10 the Democracy, for we did not suppose
the enemies Of that party To which Dickinson be-
longs, desired his nomination"
"rhe enemies of the Democratic party" AZ
the Express terms those who voted the Doug
las ticket last fall, can re unite with "the
party" after the next State Convention II
held. The Express has said so, and yet call'
them the "enemies Of the Democratic party
IL did not suppose that the enemies Of that
pnrty to which Dickinson belongs, desired
his nomination
These sO-called "enemies" Of the party
the Douglas Democrats-have avowed Their
preference for certain man for President
one for whom the whole Democratic party
will vote, il nominated. Because this man
il preferred before Dickinson, his friends are
called enemies Of the Democratic party. II
the friends of Douglas had thrown him aside.
80 far as To avow preference for dickinson,
we would have heard nothing at all about
the test" which has just been adopted
Let the Express disguise the whole matter
as it will. it cannot mike it appear that the
refusal to admit Douglas delegates to the
S,nte Convention. arises from anything else
than a desire to bring about the defeat OF
Douglas at the Charles on Convention. AT
ter the delegates are elected. the friends Of
Mr.. Doughs can unite with the party. ."
There will be no longer cause for keeping
them ont They will be good enough Dem
oerate then. and the term "enemies." az now
ppphed to- them, will be dropped. Is not
this so. Mr. Express?
Now. in regard 10 the vote Of the South
EN- states. we have u few words to Say
The Express intimnted that Douglas, if NOM
naied at Charleston would not run well u,
the South. For whom" we asked. with
South vote. if not for Douglas ?" The Elk
press answers that it cannot tell 1t fears
there are many who would not support him
that they will stay away from the polls,
or vote with the opposition. Before talking
about an opposition party in connection with
South. we had better wait until one is or
gnnized At present. there are but two par
ties organized for the Presidential campaign
the Democrats and Republicans. The
| Democrats Of the North or the South are hy
no means likely TO bring out a candidate il
opposition 10 the Charleston nominee. W,
are told everywhere 10 the States that the
D'mOcratic party cannot be divided in the
approaching campaign. without giving tie
victory to the Republicans With this fact
staring them in the face, the Democrats will
hardly bring out an opposition candidate.
It is Idle to say that the candidate for the
Presidency. nominated ut Charleston by the
voice Of the South as well MS the North. will
not be supported hy the South.
