From tho Albany Argus. in reply to the Tribune
Does the Tribune suppose that, in
crisis like this, when the Republicans
are wing to escape condemnation by
coalitions Of Ill kinds, the democrats will
no, invite to their standard all the friends
ct constitutional government? There
never was q time when democrats were
more free to act in spirit Of enlarged
liberality, than now. What is in ques
t,on is rot the mode OF administering
public affairs, but the existence OF the
Constitution, and the permapence OF the
Federal Form Of government.
The class of politicians who wish to
declare that civil war has produced an
archy, in order to educe from that chaos
a system Of imperialism, through the
agency of a consolidated, absorbing ano
corrupt central power, are revo!ut'c n'sts
AZ dangerous as those who are IN armed
rebellion against the Union.
Tho violence OF the Anarchists alarms

which Henry Clay suggested: "The
Union, the Constitution and the en-
torcement of the Laws" as the platform
on which candidates are to be presented.
We do not lose sight Of the Jefersonian
requirement, Of honesty, capacity and
fidelity to the Constitution, for those
are contained in tue other.
We do not pretend to indicate what
may be the course of democrats next
fail, beyond this general expression Of
our belief, that they will make The pre-
scrvation Of the Constitution the single
object Of the struggle, and will welcome
ali supporters, and JOIN hands mantully
with all who will unite in the common
cause. We believe, too, they will sue
coed. No party ever went into con-
test with the spirit aud hope that now
animate democrats, or with more Of tina,
determination to sacrifice everything to
the great end which insures success.
An excellent spirit and in like tone
now is the journal of Commerce:
"What we want now is q grand con.
servative movement, and the nation i'll
have it. We belong to no party and
we care nothing what party name they
adopt, who in the immediate future re-
deem the character Of the United
