There is bit one authority that we
know of to settle all these party differ

Every DrmorUt in the State recognizes
that tlibnDal. and will yield ready obc
dirncc to It's dictates.
We now request our Democratic con
tcmporarrs throughout the State to
unite With MS in this call. and we APP
peal to otr Democratic friends who
have differed with Us in their views OF
party policy to join with us in this >uy
yeSion.
We honestly believe. with the Ouachi

upon which hang the best interests Of
the STATE.
An early party convention will settle
everything and restore harmony of ac
ton and feeling in our broken ranks.
We most heartily second the above
suggestion of the Courier We asked
the Chairman of the State Central
Committee to call together that body
early in January, in order that they
might, as the party magnates cx-
press to the Legislature the wishes of
the party. Our request drew from
that gentleman long etf'usion ending
with a call of the Efecutirc Commit.

We do not wisl, to charge these
gentlemen with design, but the whole
history of the defeat of the Constitu-
tional Convention, and the miserable
failure of the legislature to enact
wholesome and 1eformatory laws.
has the appearance of a vast conspi-
racy.
The opponents of the people have
maintained al unbroken, su1len ST.
lence-tbcy have voted stubbornly
against every wish, demand and
right of their constituents, and it is
required that THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
should repudiate their action, emphat.
ically and at once.
Let US have a State Convention for
consultation Immediately.
