We ore beginning IN hear little about pole
tics. The Democratic State Committee represent
ing the Douglas organization last year, met az
Worcester a week or two sgO, and narrowly ess
capped taking a patriotic course suggested by hr.
Emery of Lowell, in behalf Of the Democrats o.
that city. The Lowell platform was as follows.
THAT the Federal Government Ia now contending
for its very existence with trti'Or. That It ID the
duty and pleasure OF the Democratic party 10 support
the Government In the legitimate prosecution OF toe
war; to the hit. That 10 so-caled compf0nise or ha
tional convention ought be held until the stars ane
tres are raised Ia each and every State In the UDons
That IL is the duty Il Congress 10 expel such members
as express Dieuiion tent' ITS. Th.t q e Legislature
shoaid adopt the amendment TO the Constitution passed
BY the Both Congress That however We may no disc
poeed toward the msgui ted ma-ses IN the Soah the
chief rebels and traitors should receive the puuhmens
treason deserves That call upon all Democrats 70
support the war, not a. abolish Slavery, or 10
interfere in any way with the .bts of any shveb0lds
ing States but TO sustain the UDion and that accom-
plish this end will lay down party nes and deyots
sll our means eacb trsilors that the Union which
our forefathes gave will defend II any sacrifice
OF life and property.
This is, in the MAN, very well, though it ID
quite unnecessary 10 make any stipulatiOns rs to
the purposes Of the war, aud quite impossible to
bring people generally 10 consent to the Corwin
amendment of the Consultations. If the Constitu.
ton is to be amended at all, il must be amended
30 as TO forward the interests OF Freedom, and
not 30 as TO give further guarantees to Slavery.
But the Lowell proposition was too liberal for
the Democratic COMMITTEE and they issued
call similar to the one which bears the signatures
Of Dean Richmond and Peter Cagger, in your
State.
