form adopted, and propose to put in the !

faultP and in the name of whole people
who are 20 suffer by it, with a irmuess and
justice which will be respected, demand that
the old time-honored Democratic party shall
not be thus destroyed. The American pro-
poses, in friendly way, to point out the
mistakes, and ask if they may not be cor
rected. The convention was held under
peculiar circumstances body of 400
men, called together to decide, in a few
hours, matters of the greatest magnitude
and OF the most delicate nature. Because
it is claimed that mistakes are made
either by the body in its action, or by
members OF the convention individually,

with all our notions of political rights and
duties, and whose plans and purpos IS are SO
al war with all our interests that the quiet |
people from one end of the State TO the other
will protest against the wrong done? Is
there no remedy for such a mistake? 1t
seems to be taken for granted sHch wrong
is without remedy. This we deny. II is
essier to cure mistake than to recover
from 1t after the State has suffered all its
Ills. And we say now that we intend frankly
to endeavor to point out these mistakes in
the hope ard in the belief that some means
will be devised to remedy the injury Gen.

This play In the interest of the Republican a
party must stop. Men like Genera Bate and '
Luke Wright will be large enough to settle d
heir own matters, and if they do not, their C
