Proceedings OF the Democratic
state Convention, March cad.
1854.
We congratulate the entire DemoC
racy ofthe State on the fact that our
Convention was harmonious There
was that earnest support OF candi-
dates for the various positions to be
filed, which we always like to see in
cur meetinge. This is the natural
result OF our attachments to men, who
nnestlv repies' mt our views. Df-
rcnccs OF opinion are TO be expected,
and IN tact must exit, or conspiracy
il the result; but when councils meet
and decide and violate no principle
e the Democracy, it is a duty we owe
each other to stand by tho flag nnl
uur organizations, III order to defeat
M organized and destructive enemy
Of all our righ:s and principles as
American lreemen. Let the Democ
racy, then, bo unit. Let every man
who loves his country stand by the
nets of our representatives, in our con
ventions. We make these declara-
,ioDs as one Of the best friends .Ir.
ValIandigham has in the party. We
don't believe that there was a man
in the convention who wonld not
rather have voted foy VaIandigham
Tor preaiJent, than any other man on
earth. We shall give all the lnateri
al parts Of the proceedings next week
and refer to tho platform in this pa

Icel tina. the interests o. our State and
