Democracy that Needs Indorsing.


 The disorganizers are loud in their ex- presslons of attachment and devotion to democratic principles. On some questions they fly to the extreme and are valorous champions of the rights of the South.- They beat their breasts, tear their hair and stamp their feet in the most heroic manner. To hear one of them talk, you would swear that he was about to march out of the Union forthwith. Not satisfied with being patriotic he must be intensely so. It will not suffice to be firm and decided, but he must buster And when they write, or dinary type cannot suffice them There must be italics and capitals, exclamation points and dashes. But, all this time, they are waging war upon democrats, upon the democratic officers of democratic State and upon the democratic policy which has brought the State, in few years, to the point of her present prosperity. Aware of their inconsistency, these Pharisees pray
  loudly. Still, as their political piety is doubtful, they go about seeking to get some body to say they are sincere and to ndorse them. Wehave but poor opinion of that religious or political principle that is not self-sustaining.
 The democracy that would ruin our State, that would crush our democratic Governor Senators and State officers, needs indorse- ment. No cut and dried resolutions will sui flee to make it true. They cannot make a wrong right, or the false verty. And the very fact that these men and journals go begging for these inducements is evidence that they fear to present their individual drafts to the people, knowing they would be dishonored
 The democratic anti-bank. policy of the State must be carried out or we lose all the vantage ground we have gained and fall back twenty or fifty years. Let 1t be re- membered by the people that the resolu tions introduced in conventions by the tools and friends of Hindman, have either refused to indorse the course of Gov. Conway, or, as in Lawrence county, have repudiated it. They are taking one step in backing up the Bank champion-the next is to send men to the legislature whom he can control and make carry out his schemes. Let the peo- pie look to 1t.
 The great mistake of this class of poli- ticians is to underrate the intelligence of the people They think that few hungry office seekers or desperate politicians can control the masses. In this lies their error. The democratic masses, though slow to act, do so inteligentlg and see through these nicely laid schemes. For ourselves, we appeal to the great jury of the people; to them we present our case and rest 1t, con- fidentlv, in their hands. If we are right they will indorse us, and no resolutions of cabals and partisan meetings will make our democracy whit better or worse.
 We can afford to smile at these tricks of the disorganizers and laugh at the strutting of these fellows with the cocks feather of a convention indorscment in their hats We have been through a similar struggle. We can sec the end, step by step and the fate of these disorganizers. We were dis posed to save them from their fate and warned them of the consequences. They have chosen their course, and hereafter, let them remember they chose to make war upon the democracy of the State and elect ed their own fate.
