~ titd holiS u UUUCSt, 1utJsl1ScuI, re-
liable, pure blood democrats are chosen
as delegates to the county convention
they too, will do well. When this shall
have been done we shall have a conven-
ton of democrats who will give us a
ticket composed of democrats who, when
elected, will act officially like democrats;
a consummation never fully reached since
the party come into power, after the
breaking of the thralldom of the DRAGON
ian code and the relief from the disgrace
full denominations of Acknowledgement. If
the democratic party would preserve its
own self-respect and command the res
pect of honest, high-minded, se~lf-respect-
ing republicans it must preserve its own
purity untarnished. If the democratic
party is worthy on an existance, and
worthy of the support of honest men it
should be kept and preserved purely DEM
ocratic. 1t should be understood that,
in the future, there will be no office or
place within the gift of democrats that
will be open to Smiley hally-wishey-
washey-I- tickle you YOU tickle me- re-
publicans. That there is no place of
honor, trust or profit at the disposal of
democrats for neutrality-suspicious.
ed-and-speckled- d~emagogue- republicans
of the pie-bald breed, who profess to be
democrats when in democratic commune

ahead. Democrats of like character are
just as dangerous to the future welfare
of the party, and just Is 1huch to be
avoided.
We re-publish the above editorial
extract from the Mexico InteUigenceT
of this week. A portion of it we
heartily endorse-in the letter at
least. We are not sure we exactly
understand the spirit in which it was
indicted. If there is any candidate
for any Office in the county who an
nounces that he will be subject to the
decision of the democratic convention
and asks the support of the demo-
cratic party, and is not a democrat,
he should be shown up at once. II
the editor of the Inteligencer knows
of any such a man, he should
arise and give his name. If any OF
the present officers of the county
are not democrats, it should also be
known. If the editor of the Inteli.
gencer knows of any such man, OF
men, he should make it known in nc
uncertain voice. If he does not, We
fail to enter into the spirit of his
article. We do not understand what
is meant by an "officer acting officially
like a democrat" There may be
something personal back Of all this
matter. If this is the case, we art
sure this is not the time for persona
matters to be discussed. At this
writing we think it best to say that
in II opinion, a man is known by biz
acts and record. Because a mar
does something that personally does
not please another, said other MAJ
has no right to say that the frs
named man is not a democrat
There may be more in the above ide.
than we think. We are convincet
that there is not an ofice-holder il
the county-nay, more, that there i
not a candidate in the county an
nounced subject to the convention
who is not a democrat-a sound dem
ocrat, with a record perhaps bette
than that of those who appear t,
challenge him.
1t doesn't appear right to try to stall
a man in the dark, or blacken hin
with insinuations. Let us have NJ
discord in the party on purely per
sonal grounds. If we were placed OF
our oath, we should give it as Oh
best impression that the editorial re
ferred to was purely the result o
chronic indigestion-only that, ant
nothing more.
