POLITICAL.
To the Editor of the ARGus.'

/ have watched your course for some
time past, and am under the impression,
that your paper fayors aud supports, the
democratic policy and doctrines of Thomas
Jefferson, james Monroe, Andrew jackson,
Martin Van Buren,, James X. Polk, James
Buchanan and to . certain extent, the polit-
zeal policy of Abraham Lincoln and ndrew
Johnston. Now We are in q new political
era, where the great honest Statesmen and
true patriots OF America, must adopt, advo
cate and support The good old patriotic
policy, of ''the greatest good to the greatest
number" The various political parties,
have by force of Circumstances
been driven to harmonic with two
parties, or take the uncertain
chances of trying TO disparage, over whelm
and defeat, what is dengnated the Liberal
Republican pGTty. What is Liberal Repub
lieAnism Is it not honest Democracy Is
il not the political doctrine taught by all
the great and really good statesmen, that
have lived, acted, and made their mark as
good, honest statesmen in America, in the
| colonies and in the states and territories
since the Organization Of our government.
The honest Democrats of our country make
1t their cardinal principle to advocate true,
honest political doctrines that are generally
expressed and published by parties and by
candidates in what is sometimes called a
! platform. True Democrats care much more
for principles than for men. All men OF
common sense have high regard for integ-
/ rity, in every leader, in every department
Mr. Greeley has, generally with his oppon
ents a. well as with his friends, the chArAc-
ters0f ar honest man. Therefore, under the
circumstances, should we risk another nomi
