TuELoUIsviLLE MOVEMENTS The agtators
of the Louisville movement are continued in
their exertions. What their exact position,
or their motives in assuming it, are equally as
vague and indefinite as the good tina, they
may hope to accomplish by it. The issues OF
the present campaign are distinct: the two great
parties are organized under their leaders: there
is no middle ground, and while the disatfected
in one party may lend strength to the other,
they cannot hope to be strong enough in them
selves to exercise controlling influence over
either
After the decision of the Democratic party at
Baltimore, its organization under it, and the
almost unanimous and enthusiastic approval OF
its course by the Conservatives and Democrats
of the country. individual opinion and sent-
mept should DO longer have weighed with ques-
tons of expediency in attaining the end that
all alike profeSsed to desire. When the prn-
ciples Of party are approved, the motives OF
its action pure, the line of its policy deliberate
" determined upon, and the object that 1t
seeks, the administration of the government
with justice, economy, and integrity, the means
By which It's success is 10 be secured under a
thorough party organization becomes ques
ton of party discipline, and he who under such
circumstances deserts bis standards is alike cul-
pable with him who goes over to the enemy.
Ignorance is no plea for the folly Of such a
course, and if di$interested patriotism cannot
induce them to leave off personal prejudices
and old issues, public opinion should at least
be sufficient to make them yield their opinions
to the will of the majority. However much
the course of the ''straight-outs may be
condemned. we do not apprehend any seri-
Gus consequences from the movement, The
few that under the pressure of dead issues and
exploded ideas are weaned from the ranks of
the Democratic party. would have little weight
In it, and less out. From the aversion that some
Republicans have to being associated with
Democrats, it is more likely that their course
will be productive Of good upon liberal repub-
licauism, than that it will be serious in its eff
fects by virtue of any influence it may have in
disintegrating the Conservative or Democratic
party.
Again they profess to be warning against the
administration party, and yet blinded BY their
misguided zeal they alone fail to see in the
favor and encouragement they receive at its
hands the hope which the Radical party cher
ishes for their success, and the strength which
it yainly seeks thus to acquire.
