We give, in to-day's paper, the proceed.
ings Of the Democratic county convention
for this county. and would invite our
readers to give them careful peru.al.
Though al the towns in the county were
not represented, yet :he convention was
quite respeetable.is paint Of nun bers -
And, as may be seenss by reference to the
lr., Of delegates ia attendance. some Of the
allest and moststirling Dement'S Of Ire
country, and We might say Of the State,
were in counsel. Indeed more substnt,-
tiaI body Of men never met before in ibis
county on political matters
We would cell particular attention to the
resolutions. They embrace sound ., ley,
and announce the position " tho Democratic
party on the momentuous question Of the
day.

herence Of the Democratic party to the old

the same time they sustain The Aduinstra.
ton in carrying on the war to put down
the rebellion and to restore the Union as
recognized by the constitution. The charge
that the Democratic party are wanting In
loyalty is a villianaus libel. Democrats are
the legitimate guardians of the coustitu-
ton and no matter who sits at the head
of our national affairs, they will sustain
tbsir authority and trust to the ballt box
to correct any abuses ard wrongs.
Hence, in this terrible crisis, when the
nation is lettering on the verge of desiruc
ton, we see the Democracy coming to the
rescue and by resolutions, actions and by
Offering M their lives. attesiing their fidel.
ity to the Government. though it is admin.
istered by those who entertain hostile
political sentiments. The truth il, the
Democracy are for their country, right or
wrong. Aud in carrying on the war.
President Lincoln has found his most reli-
able Gene ais and patriotic soldiers in the
Democratic party. When the national
capital was mensced, Democrat, did not
stop to inquire who was President, Int
rushed 10 its defence. Aud now when new
volunteers have been called for, we find
them filing OPP the ranks by thousands
AS far as the war is concerned, there are
no PARTIES. Democrats are willing to unite
With the Republicas in fighting for the
Union. They want no half way work about
it, bot they want the Union restored as IL
was. and its perpetuity established at " hat
ever sacrifice.
We are glad that tie Democracy ofWiIl
county have led Of 10 this matter, and we
trust that the same course may be pursued
by the Democrats in the other counties Of
the State.
