The State Central Committees of both
wings of the Democracy are called to meet
here on Wednesday the 18th inst Both calls
name the same hour, and the fact that they
appear simultaneously, taken together with
the general appearance of party affairs, tends
to the conclusion that there must have been
some understanding between the high con-
tending parties. l do not, however, under
take to say that such was the case. 1t is
very apparent that but little concession will
be required on either side to unite into one
true Democratic party those who saw fit to
travel, for time, on different roads towards
the accomplishment of the principles laid
down in the Cincinnati Platform. | know
that the conservative men in both factions
will labor to effect such a result. 1t is not of
course known as yet in what manner the
union will be effected, but it will either be by
n concert of action between the two Central
Committees, or by call to issue from the
Administration Committee couehed in such
terms as will include all who claim to be
Democrats, and who intend to support the
nominees of the party. A joint call will in
my opinion be made unless it is found that
the anti-Administration Committee desire to
still retain the name of an organization. l

and influential leaders in the Administration
organization, some Of whom are members of
the Committee, are at work to bring about

impossible division, but for the moral effect
such a step would have in some of the East

recently sustained defeats by reason of di-
visions in the party.

demure statement that his froth was all lost,
for the reason that you neither in nor out of

is considered very rich by some constant read
