We are not disposed to ignore the Ii;
sberal spirit that has, been manifested NOT
) only in Virginia and Tennessee, bns also
y in che ranks OF the radical party else
where. Nor are we inclined to indulge
inany harsh criticism upon the plausible
notion entertained by some tiat another
party Organization on the part Of the
Democratic masses iof the South would
result in good: i"sa
z we iaSbf latitude of thonehs and eS-
preston, and advocate independence
even within the fines of party forna-
tions. Yet We submit that there can
come no good from the proposed 'third
party"-at least, TO the anti-radicalists.
We need, as sons Journal has we'll ex-

these views. that we are gratified to find
that little favor attends the, suggestion

Now, these views will no doubt be &C.
oepted by the great majority OF those
who have been sustaining radicalism
here. And if 30, it can he seen at a

Though, however, no new party is
called for. let it be borne in mind that
there is room in the old for new life

Presidential canvass we favored pro-

reward their efforts. Now, as then, we
advocate o liberal, progressive Demo

facts that deals with living and practi-
cal issues, and one that will commend
itself to the support and confidence OF
all true, moderate and reasonable men,
and bring into hearty cooperation all OF
the best elements of the State.
