NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

The Democratic leaders declare the old
issues all dead, and that they ought to
be forgotten; and yet, during the pres
emit week, the representatives of tLi-
party, from all over ibis etats met IN |
convention, and every Northern born |
Democrat was excluded, with, we be- |
lieve. one exception, and he has given |
repeated proof of his devotion to tbs |

crat was excluded, until, when the list OF
candidates were finally read, there was
hardly a name to be found whose bearer
was not in deep sympathy with those
who desired the overthrow OF this Gov
eminent; and not one of those nonin- |
ated has any more changed his mind
during the past few years than have Re- |
publicans.-[V irg. Enterprise, Oct. 3D.
In the above remarks, made by the
yirg. Enterprise, there is much truth.
The Democratic State Convention
nominated ticket, which, while it in
cludes the names of many honorable and
estimable gentlemen, still bears the dis
tinct marks OF sectionalism. The North
ern Democracy, which bore the heat and
burthen Of the day, finds but a repre-
sentative or two, whilst the foreign born
ts6lement is given no showing at all.

S Srsnd.I athat the Democracy of Nevada
Norwood i allow the secession element to so
R@ss1ape matters that it epgrosses the
nominations Of their party for the prin-
cipal State Offices. Such a condition OF
things may suit the chivalry wing of the
Democracy, but it will not be submitted
to by others who have heretofore acted
with the party. Finding themselves
treated with SO little consideration, they
will naturally seek more hospitable and
trustworthy allies The action of the
Carson clique correctly prefgures who
would control the Democratic party if it
were lifted into power. The men who
would seize the helm of state would be
the very secessioaists who have done
their best in the past to destroy the Gov
eminent and disrupt the nation. North
ern and foreign born Democrats would
have little or less chance than they had
at Carson. They might vote and place
the nominees of the chivslry wing in
power, but their mission would then be
ended. Such prospect is by no means
slluring. 1t would be a very dangerous
experiment to place the control of the
Government in the hands Of men who,
until lately, have been its open and bit
ter enemies. A proceeding of that
character would not be prudent
and would probably lead to dis
astrous consequences. Seeing then
the pronounced and unequivocal deter
mination of the more dangerous portion
Of the Democratic party, to usurp its
control and use it for their own personal
advancement, it follows that it will not
be safe to trust that party with the reins
Of power. The Republicans have made
many grave mistakes. Through retain
ing power for many years, corruption
has reared its poisonous head in many
places. Still, the party, as a whole,
shows an earnest desire to search out
and correct mistakes, to ascertain and
punish those who are guilty of corrup-
ton. and exhibits an astonishing power
of freeing itself from the control of those
men who have sought to use their posi-
tons for base and mercenary purposes.
When this is considered and the magni.
ficent record of the Republican party is
remembered, its earnest patriotism, it,
unyielding determination to save til,
country in its hour of peril, its success
in the accomplishment of that gloriou
work When all this is recollected, i
seems that no patriot should be willing t,
assist in wrestling the charge of the Gov
eminent from the hands who hav
proved themselves true in the darkes
hours of adversely Especially when tn,
people are asked to bestow it on q party
who selects for its nominees men who
not only sought its destruction by at
lacking it on the field of battle, but il
the council chamber, in the press, in the
busy marts of commerce; anywhere in
fact, where they could raise their voices,
and their example could make a convert.
No, for the present at any rate, the man.
agement of public affairs is safer in the
hands of the Republican party. and with
that party it should be allowed to re.
main.
