Judgment. without interfering with
the same liberty Of thought and
action BY every ether American
citizen.
The Courier Journal has been
pleased to say.
1--WE have received II letter from
an indignant Democrat who com
plains that we are making too much
fuss over Blanton Duncan. There
is Just where our correspondent
misses it. Colonel Duncan is the
chief Of tho Duncan Democracy.
lilo is organizing II straight.out
Democratic movement to be led by
Hancock and Voorhees,. He is an
energetic, indclatigable man, with
largo resources and extensive ac.
quain,ancc. His maneuvcr is not
to be treated with contempt. it is
dangerous, and means business. II
our Democratic friends do not act
promptly in their county meetings
and instruct their delegates to tho
State Convention squarcly for the
Liberal ticket, wo shall have u
schism of Colonel Duncan's p.o-
ducing; which will lose us the State.
This is our honest opinion"
Doubtless | am also included in
this "side show"
"Too many presses and leaders
have committed themselves 20 tho
Greeley and Brown ticket to draw
out of it. We are therefore going
to Baltimore solid for Greeley, ard
it Mr.. Voorhees, does not like it, the
President will furnish him enough
money to set up his side show, and
he may, by open treachery, contin-
NC tho work of betrayal which has
been going on in n less shameless
form these seven years"
1t has been supposed that in an
intelligent community each man
had a right to his own opinions,
and that in u political organization
the support ofits principles entitled
the honest thinker to full respect.
1t seems that the order is to be re-
vcrscd. A faction Of malcontonl
Radicals gather in mob and
mako nominations with which no
Democrats have had aught to do,
