Now AND TmRS. As the late call Of
che Democratic Central Couiaittee Of our
county has been and is being denounced
as contrary to ali local party usage or pre-
ccdent-as, in fact. an outrageous usur-
patton Of authority on their part-we have
thought that il might be profitable to in
quire, FIRST, what is the character of tina.
call. and. secondly. whether it is usur-
patton. without parallel or precedent. or
Otherwise 49, ESQ --r- "n) =
To debate any proposition or series Of
propositions to any fruitful end. il is ne
sessary that the debaters should come to
an understanding or agreement in regard

pusc.-elsc the disputants will Be at sea and
% remain. catching at straws and foun-
dering in surf.
TO avoid, therefore, something like a
second Babel-a positive confusion Of
tongues where every thing is proposed and
nothing is settled-we submit for the con-
currenee Of our adversaries tho following
propositions.
First. Thst tho call Of the Central Com

ssminasicns was. simply. adrisory, and,
whether advisory or imperative. could have
neither force nor efIec. upon the party uu-

Secondly. That II was the righ. and
privilege Of this Commissee. As i. i ofev-
cry Democrat 10 advise the party abou.
any matter they might regard as promo
tins or efecting the party welfare.
Thirdly. That the call OF The Central
Co~n.issee. whether wise or foolish, was
adopted BY large majority Of the ~Aols
democrasic vote Of the county 1t the Pri-
msry elections on the sth Of July. ulsiuo.

THE NECESSITY ron RErLEcrlox. Among
the intelligent aud enlightened nations Of
the earth. we are Of all eshers. perhaps,
the most inconsiderate and unthinking. -
This is not only observable to the philos-
opher and statesman, but even the pleas
ure seeking tourist has pronounced upon
it. Impulse, not reason, is the lever which
moves US, and our gravest fellies have
been the result Of our thoughtlessuess.-
To think too little, and to act too much.
is the original sin Of the American pee
pie. This predominant vice has become
national characteristic, and the expert
ence Of a century has not awakened us to
it. 1t has operated as check upon the
progress Of our civilization, and subjected
US to evils which reflection would have
avoided, but which, the genius Of our peo-
pie will be strained to repair.
This impulsiveness Of action is not only
a stigma upon our Intelligence. but it is
palpably inconsistent with the institutions
we maintain. The restraint of our pas
sions is the quintessence Of self-govern-
mcnt, and inconsiderate action the anti
podes of it. Problems can only be solved
through the agency Of reason, and self
government has not advanced beyond the
sphere of the problematical. If We de-
s.rcy the base, the superstrueture must
tumble, and upon our Reasonable. action.
rests our perpetuity and safety. ..es-
But it may not be amiss to illustrate The
proposition before Us. and to give to the
example local application. 1t cannot be
denied. that majority Of the people Of
this county are welded to the doctrines
Of democracy. and that this majority, ac-
ting sobcrly and reAectively. would pre-
sent an unbroken front to the heresies Of
Republicanism. A year has not elapsed
since this fact was demonstrated. and Re-
publicanism has since established no new
claim upon us. unless it be through the
glory of its Ku-Klux cnactments.
But there is now division and estrange-
ment among US. and il is all the result Of
the folly we have referred to. II the in
dependent candidates had have taken time
for reflection, we venture the assertion that
they would not now be before us. Blu,
they have taken their position in advance
Of reflection, and very naturally feel an in
clinatiou TO maintain il. If the step they
have taken shall not bring down the ven-
geancs Of our enemies upon US, it is not
because their action has not invited the at
tack. We trust, it is no. even yet too
late for them to see the .4nceessity for re-
Section" aud that they win retrace their
steps, ere the grave evils We apprchcnd
shall oyertake and crush rs. ,-,.
