UNwIsE COUNSEL.
From Tas Hartford Times (Dem)
We should think the course of The World
would more thoroughly disgust the Democrats and al
the Liberals who with them that the usurpatOns
Of the Administration should be rebuked, than any
proposition which a respectable number OF citizens
could make to any party The Liberals, Deeving that
selteoyernmen in this country is endangered by great
corruptIons, and by The policy OF the Grant Admnstra
with the Democrats on common platform win the
Democrats, they demand ana
putting airs which true Democrat In TINS country
would assume denOunces the Liberals and abuses Them
and tries TO weaken the Democratic ranks anu 10 drVs
away those who, from principle, desire TO act with
Democrats. We believe that this is not the temper OF
the democratic party IL ~ not It's policy IL nStner
lust nor decent. But The World never true Demo
cratic journal II is only an adyentnIer seeking

principles for which that party contends-and which
must prevail il our republican system oil popular gov

LIBERIA UNION NECESSARY.
From 7be BugdIo Courier (Dem,)
We have repeatedly expressed the opinion
that no valid exists TO prevent union OF the
Democrats and Liberal Republicans OF this state IN the
approaching campaign. We have also urged that the
cali for the State Convention should be made in such
terms include Lib rails and all other opponents OF
Republicanism in its invitation. Relieving that the
Convention should be thus inclusive its character

THE WISE COURSE.
From The @fbday Argus (Deat)
Our conviction, then, is that 1t Is wise Tor
seek to represent the tendencies OF who in New
York IN common purpose; ana wnen they shaiI
will vindicaie the integrity of that purpose BY
wise and liberal action. It is the crysiallzauon
Of elements tending toward each other by IRE
sistibe attraction which we would further. They
will come together i'll one organization, they VIII

IN the quest interests of the people, and the firm friend
of the *ncient Democratic faith. That moving column
will be made up OF the Democracy reinforced by the
the sincerity of their purpose the STABILITY OF tneH con

CANDIDATES FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER.
Tie Albany Express (Repl
There is likely to be no lack OF candidates
for the office Canal Commissioner on the Republican
ticket. The office belongs TO the western part OF the
state is the Commissioners of the Western DIVISION

OF suggesting the of old friend the Hon. Israel

Henry l.. Fish. BY all means give US Hatoh.
THE PROPOSED LIBERAL UNION.
from Tie Troy Press. (Dem.) .
We are opposed to the proposition OF the
Liberal Committee. The Democratic State Committee
are capable settling upon time and place when ana
where that party shall give their views TO the people
upon the obligations imposed upon the party and their
opinions regarding the best way % wrest the state IRON
the hands dangerous fanatics who now control H.
We do not desire say harsh word OF the Liberal
leaders, but cannot recognize In them "a leadership
that is OF sufficient value Offset the injury that com
bined meeting would do us. The Democratic party Is
neither dead, nor is il in need OF physicians.
