1--WE nam to support the Democratic
neninee next year, departure or no de-
! parttire, and consequently we do not
like the Bourbons, denounce in advance
a thing as infamous which we may have
to support. = We denounee nothing ad-
vocated by Democrats as infamous
The above IS the patriotic expression
of the Louisville Courier Journal. The
| above, also, is the patriotic sentiment of
the Hon. Edward Grassland, the Demo
cratic member of Congress from this Dis
trict. After all our wrangling and
quarreling, with few exceptions, all the
democratic leaders, assert a similar de-
\ termination. Where the necessity, or
good to be accomplished by. denuncia-
tions and abuse? The Courier Journal
argues that in its opinion the repeal OF
the amendments is impossible, and that
even if it were possible, its agitation would
be unwise, and accepts the amendments.
Judge Grassland says, we should obey
these amendments-not violate them di
rectely or indirectly, but that .'if it was
in his power, if he was Supreme Dicta-
tor he would wipe the 18th and 18th
amendments out The Courier Journal
says, 'ifit weere. Supreme Dictator" the
amendments should crumble up like
parched cracklings- should not only with
er ike dead autumn leaves, but they
should melt thaw, and resolve themselves
into due bin tOeyery man, woman aud
child that has lost niger" The little
word "iP' therefore makes up the sum
difference between these two accepted
apostles of Democratic faith. I'D
This is thesdifference which charac-
terize true democrats; and impel each to
an honest confidence awe denounce
nothing adopted by democrats as infa-
nous, and those who do are certainly
wanting in proper love for their party.
IF the Bourbons should control the
National Convention, which cannot be,
We should support its nominee in pref
ereuce to a Radical Cannot each
Bourbon return the promise and cease
their foolish wrangling and denuncia-
tons.
The National Democratic party is GER
tain to accept the amendments, The
Democratic platforms Of Maine, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, California Wisconsin,
Iowa and Virginia accept them. Mr.
Kerr letter acquisition. Jerry Black
address accepts them. Dir. Hendrick' 5
New Orleans speeches accepts them. Mr..
Mr.. Pendleton not only accepts them,
and will obey them, but viii exact ODE
dience from all. Judge Doolittle, the
Democratic -R0Ininee~-for Governor OF
Wisconsin, not only accepts them, but
makes an able argument to show that II
is impossible to get rid of them. John
Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts,, accepts
them. The Congressional address advises
the people to ''obey the constitution and
all its amendments. In short, every
constituted Democratic authority ,thathas
spoken at all has taken this position, the
exact position taken by US, the position
nounce as infamous, but which they
stand pledged, in spite of their lofty as
sersions Of principle, Ito support"
TnE Hickman lKy) COURIER, expires
ses great fear in regard to the selection
of delegates to represent the State of
Kentucky IN the National Democratic
-ConveDtion of 1872 1t says it will pro
duoe warmer struggles among the DEM
ocracy of Kentucky than the good of the
party demands Now, this is not the
ease In Missouri. We have no cause to
fear whatever, in the selection of honor
able and working delegates to represent
us at the National Convention of 1872,
and if they will stick TO the mark as
they did at the State Convention previ-
Gus to our last gubernatorial election,
then there is no doubt but Missouri will
do her duty toward the nomination of
a worthy man, and one who can be elected,
without doubt, to the Presidency in 1872.
