The Party Question,

Democrats, or Democrats oa2 Congcr.

We would respectfully ask
Are there three parties in Tcnucssec?,
Have we q Democratic, a Coryerya
tive, and Republican party?
Is there 4 body oryotol5iu this State
separate and distinct from the Demo
cratic party known as Conservatives Il
A Conservative is cone who aims TO
preserve from ruin, innovation, or rad !
ical clIange;' and is not the Demo.
cratic party struggling with all Isl
might TO preserve the government Of.
Our iorclathcrg from "radcIl change, >
and hand it down, uuimpaircd, TO Our.
postcrily?
Is not the name Of Democrat $3.50
ciated with the grandcst periods in the
annals Of this country, and would it be
wise to discard it at this crisis in our.
history?
There eau be but two great parties
in this country for any length Of time,
and it behooycs every man to coasidcrI
well the principles Of the Que with
which he allies himself
The objection i3 urged by some in
diyiduaIs that both the Democratic and
Republican parties are too extreme"
and hence they do not wish 10 identity
themselves with either; and yet, for
sooth, they desire 10 be regarded rs pa
triol5 and statesmen. Tuc folly of
their position is we'll illustrated by the
operation Of the two great physical
laws which control the action Of the
uuiycrsc---thc centrifugal aad ccuiri
pelal forces. "Ibc centrifugal force
Of body is that force by which all
bodies, moving round another body iu
q curve, tend 10 lly Off from tie axis Of
their motion, in a tangent, to the pc
riphcry Of the culyc;' and "thc cen
tripclaI force is that force which draws

a center; as in the case Of Il planet re.

these two extreme anlagonis'ic forces
