When will there be but one Par.

The Bucyrus Forum answers this ques-
tion asit can only be answered by saying
There will be but one party when all be-
come advocates of Constitutional
Union: when the doctrine of States
Rights is believed aud practiced; when
equal rights in the common property of
the government are acknowledged and
accorded : when contest for sectional
supremacy is looked upon as illegal and
unjust when the execution of the laws
is left to the constitutional authorities
when private opinion oearses to array
itself in resistance to the operations of
public law; when other qualifications for
filling high Offices in tho government are
required besides family connection with
those who have undertaken war for the
vindication of law, shall themselves be-
come law-abiding when all ideas of re-
moving power from the people and in
vesting it in a strong central government
shall be abandoned when all those great
doctrines enuncated by Jefferson and
practiced by his Democratic successors
shall be universally held then, indeed,
there will be but one party, and that one
will be the Democratic party.
