THE DEMOCRACY OF LOUISIANA.
EDITOR DEMoCRAT--

| That a very great responsibility
rests upon the Democratic party o
this State no one will question, ant
upon a proper appreciation aud .
thorough comprehension Of This res
possibility depends the integrity ant
perpetuity of the party. There is /
strong tendency manifested in goot
many Of the Southern States to fol
low the example of Virginia. This
is to be deplored by every true
friend, not only of the South, but the
entire country;--because this posi-
ton places political organization
in full utilization with the stalwar,
ring of the Republican party, and
do not think any sincere Democratic
willing to say that this is desirable,
and every effort should he made to
prevent it.
We have experienced and felt what
this party will do to maintain supre.
macy. The solid, true and honest
element in great political parties
never abandons its line of action and
faith without some good cause or
reason. 1t therefore becomes the
duty ofthe Democracy to adopt and
pursue such policy as will make it
The interest of every patriot and good
citizen to act with it. The Democ-
racy of this Site is not entirely
blameless for this tendency to create
an independent organization, aud it
behooyes the leaders Of the party to
evince to the world that they are all
solutely sincere in considering and
protecting the rights and privileges
of every member of the State. Tue
aisintegration of political party is
generally caused by the want of f.
lelity to principle and elevated COM
orehensive craftsmanship. The late
Senatorial contest in NV York ia Il
signal illustration of the truth of the
above remark. 50
The true policy of the Democratic
party at this time is to constitute it
self the special champion of reform
md progress, improvement, develop
nent and the material interest Of the
country. Let US cultivate the friend
hip aud good will of all those who
ire able to assist us. Let the dead

nd rest assured that it will come

al combination.
