Democratic Conventions, which are both

The present is no time for party bickef.
ings and strife. The preservation Of the
Union and the putting down of the pres
ent rebellion are questions compared with
which parties and men are as nothing.
Whatever wills tend most certainly to pro-
mote unity among the people should be
done, regardless alike Of party politics or
individual interests. 49, ,
