INkeeping with the views We have
hitherto presented As to the duties Of
the hour, we clip the following from
the Montgomery Aal: III
The Sayannah Republican, edited by
that old Wing champion, Colonel Sn6ed,
has some sensible remarks about the hesi-
fancy of any one adopting the name
"Democrat" to express opposition to tae
Radical party. He says, very pointedly,
struggle shall come of, all local parties
must, for the time being at least, become
merged in or the other Of the great
national organizations, according ashley
may assimilate in sentiment and policy.
He says that while the National Demo
| cratic party may not go as far as some
people in the South would desire, It Is
very certain that it holds no principle and
sets forth no policy that every conserva-
tive man in the nation may not consist
eatly subscribe to. They advocate not
! one pressure that the old Wings eyer
opposed at any time in the history of
their organization, and certainly sensi-
bic wan and patriots will not al
low themselves to be thrown in
10 the opposition by a mere
name. Democrats are as much, to-day,
the champions of old Wing and State
Rights principles as the Wings eve were,
and, hence, no partition wall should eX-
list between them. The issues thai form-
erly divided the two parties have long
ceased to exist, and, while the Democratic
party has preserved its name and organi-
zstion through all yicissitudes, it, to-day.
Is the representative of nc principle or
policy on which the two parties would
not rave stood together twenty years ago.
1t is now fighting the friends of CONSOLE
dalton and the enemies of free govern
ment-the only party that is fighting
them-and all patriots, North and South,
and, we win add, white and black, should
rally TO their standard and save the coun-
try il pOssibie.5 a ezr asr
On the scoreof policy, be has a word to
say. Some are of opinion that the Demo-
cratic party will not be strong enough to
avail against the Intervals that have now
possession of the Government. IF they
are not, il is certain that no new party
yet to be formed can be. The party that
has emblazoned on its banners the rights
of The States, popular supremacy, equal
privileges to all and no prescription, and
can carry New York by ninety thousand
majority, Is both good enough and strong
enough for any Southern man u ''tie to-
The Adcertiser, also of the same city,
says on the same subject:
Our path is now as plain before us as
If traced by q sunbeam. We have only
to stand squarely on the Congressional
address, in which the white mans
party" is not once mentioned, but in
which we are pointedly instructed to ig-
more all dead issues. Hereafter we will
al fight the common enemy under the
lnemnerat1p fnnaaruatful hannah and On
the principles and policy of the address
of Senator Thurman and his Congress
siOnal associates. In the meantime we
shake hands with the distinguished edi-
tor of the Mobile Register, and propose to
drink with him a cool, fraGernal julep to
the health and prosperity of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative party, State and
National.
To this the Register responds as fol-
lows:
We cordially touch glasses with the i'd
UertlseT. We have never thought for a
moment that the Register would part
company Withit while q common war was
to be made upon the tyrants and usurpers
of our State. Still we marvel how any
reader of the Register could take up the
nomination, even for an instant, that it
ever had any other thought than 'to do
battle under the Democratic and Conser-
vative flag" We should be utterly lost
anywhere else, and should be as nerveless
and powerless as a fish GU of water. But
once more we ask, is not the Democratic,
Conservative party the "white mans
party" from end to end of this great coun-
trY2 They are n and the same, and
you cannot stray from them without
\plumpiDg into the negro, or Radical party.
Srhe whittier you make the Democratic
party, the more Democratic 1t is; and the
more Democratic you make the white
party, the whittier it is.
That puts the whole matter in a nut
shell. The blacks will vote with the
Radical party, and prefer it, as rats do
foul places. They hate the name of
Democracy, as the devil is sud to
have a distaste to "holy water" The
Radicals know how to use them as
cats paws for Office, and they are
willing to be used! There will be two
parties in the South, and whites will
vote together. For Tennessee, al
least, that is well enough; and we fa-
yor ''letting well enough alone" The
only third party we shall ever see
IN Tennessee will be one which sWal-
lows up all the negro and Radical
votes. The Democratic party is white,
and it has an instinct TO stay white.
1t has white principles, advocated by
white men. 1t is unnecessary, boast
to talk of the ''white mans
party" II is sufficient, step by step,
land one thing after another to over
throw corruption and bring about re
as we may be able by united
energies and common fidelity.
