We publish in our local column the
proceedings Of the meeting to. organize
Democratic Club. We regret to see this
move. Not because We 40 not like tie
principles Of the Democratic party. We
behave f5c principles upon which the
party was founded were right. We loved
those principles and for their maintenance
We were willing to sacrifice everything.
We regret this move because we can see
no possible good that can be attained We
believe that it viii DO great injury and
that the injury will be TO those who are
fighting for tie same object BIZ. differ as
10 the mode OF nt.ainHg il. The greatest
success that can be achieved is the defeat
Of Greeley. What then? For four years
nore we are to endure the gslling des-
potism Of the tyranieal radical party
which is now in power, and which is
trampling under foot the ibartics of the
people Of the South. For fsur years
more we sre 80 place IN the hands of U.
8. Grant and nis horde of licsn tious
myrnidaus the control of the liberties OF
ear people. The power which they
hare held has been exercised with such
shameful disregard Of the prime ipies Of
Justice that the people III their mig ht
have arisen. from all sections OF the coun.
tsy ana have united in one grand effort to
thzos Of this yoke of tyranny. Horace
Greeley has been chosen as the leader OF
this party. 20 US the result must be q
change for The better. While the party
chosen by tie convention Us a standard
bearer is one whom We would not have
selected, we consider it our duty to give
him our support II is, indeed easy to
be pasrsiic when no sacrifice is to be
made, but when the common good Of
our country demands that We shall lay
aside long cherished predjudices and
unite in a move for the general good
which requires US to yiald our in
dividusl preferences, it is by the ex-
ercise Of ~ ordinary degree Of patriot
ISM that our people are disposed to
ite in the measure. ~
The questions now before US for con-
sheraton are such as require not the
excitement of hurried contest, bu,
calm, deliberate, careful investigation -
We appeal to every lover of the. State
10 every lever of our sister Southern
States, who are now feeling more sensi-
bly, the outrages of Rad ica lism,s to be
governed not BY the prompsings ofbittei
prejudice, but by the. earnest desire to re-
lieve our countrymea from the tyranny
which now incarcerates in northern prisons
those who stood side by side with US in oul
struggle for political liberty and who
t,-day entertain the same opinions
which we do. Determine to act and to
act promptly to defeat Grant and his
party and all will yet be well.
