DAY, the 24th dpy cc

the N v ext.teuniy Conveetlede
The near approach of the period at
which the annual nominations are made
for this county, renders it proper and
expedient to call the attention of,deum
crate to-the internal organisation of our
party, and the various ways of selecting
candidates, There is always ntiire of 'As
complaint on the part of the friends of
disappointed aspirants, that r.ominating
conventions are improperly and unfairly
conducted. Many -elindid meq believe
that some better and More honest m taiji
• b<xld be adopted for indicati _ the.
tint-lerts'-4*---thtf ipf*
tm mi l f rtes for the vari offices. If the
system of mein • g conventions is in
itself vicio rif liable to more abuse,
. corru • and fraud than other nodes
o acting eandidateit, it; ought • to be
abolished, and something else substitu
ted in its stead. This subject ought to
Ise ; thoroughly. canvass,ed, that it may be
well u'uderstood and the people .enabled
to 4ct upon it in a proper and intelligent
manner. , What, then is the object or use
of party organizations at all? Is it
merely for AO purposelsrcontroliug the
offices within the gift of the people
Ofnecuring to one set of individuals in
preference to another the places of public
trust in order that they may enjoy the
emoluments and spoils of office? A par
ty orgeskzed tr no higher purpose than
this, woad -deserve the adherence and
support of tie I,ntelligent and honest man
and could only be kept together by the
'cohesive power of public plunder."
The only legitimate purpose of a party,
is to support in a more efficient and organ
ized manner soma great principle of gov
ernmental policy; than could not be done
by individual efforts alone, Possession
of the'olees follows as an incident to the
success oTthe party, but should never
he made its corttrolic e g idea. A party
organization in order to be successful and
permanent must be founded upon some
correct and enduring principle. No •se
verity of discipline can presene a prtft
from disintegration in the absence of a
vivifying principle. Poi the sake of office
demagogues will seize
_hold of rfihe
prejudices of the people and raby l even a
majority iu support of some absurd or
wicked Scheme. Their success can how
ever only be temporary, and tlja-fiigani-
Ration falls to pieces be canie • of its own
intrinsic weakness. -Bitch was the fat(
of the Anti-Mason and the Know-Noth
ing parti z ev, and such will bethp
jl ' theprileent dominant Abolition party.
-At other times- the people have rallied
around a great man, and in support of
him and his peculiar opinions, as'did i the
Whigs with Henry Clay. In such cases
the party dies with the man whose rep
utation gave it existence. The dem wet
ic party differs from all these. It was
founded upon' "Ate' principles itoderlying
the governmeht 'ltself; and as long as
thq government endures unchanged in
character the Democratic party will exist
as a controling power in the land. De
feats cannot destroy it, nor treachery
put its existence in jeopardy. Its first
struggle in 1798 was a defeat, and it
has often bees betrayed by men whom it
had elevated to high positions, but it
snrVived all, and is now as stkiig as ever.
It is the correctness of our principles,
and not our - party discipline that has
preserved bur organization from the fate
of all others fn this country. But organ
ization and discipline is necessary to a
party's success ; and the question no
is', is our present' form of organization
the best that can be devised?
In order for any party to succeed, its
members must all unite in the support
of the same candidates. Those eandi
dateensuat be selected in some way. Is
a nominating convention the hest „avail
able manner of making such selections?
Many years ago beibre parties because
thoioughly organised, every man who
aspired to an office annoueced himself
as a candidate and obtained whatever
support he oould. We had then es ma
ny taindidates at the election as we have
now befdye the convention.. A man was
seldom elected by a snajotity of the votes
of his district. If be had - a plurality
over each .sic of his competitors, that
was sufficient. Evory candidate repre
sented himself, and no one the, and
whoevet voted.-for him supported the
indict mal t and not asy patty
which lie was the representative.

Thepeople of this country should not
deceive themselves. Ncgro suffrage as

means - rkofite than the simple fact of eon

is but a Means of enforcing the detesta

covered up all the lilderiusness of amal

the putridity tatiwill blot from earth the
white race of thip l eontinent. Where is
the man that has any respect for himself
—for his family or his country, that can

there Is a party—a party, that controls
the legislation of the country—a party
that sprung from the with burning—

Nevi England, that is now seeking to
implant it in public mind..„ Where it
is stronsdhough to have no fear of de

Vermont, New Hampshire and lowa, it
is made a plank in their political plat

hope of carrying the State has almost
died out, it is only hinted at—vaguely
approached in order to feel, and not
startle the public And. The negro
suffrage plank id their platform in this
state, will be covered up with a verbosi

some of these apostates accuse the tree
- Democrats, who refused to be bincoinized, of
being "hirelings of his administration!"
Who, in God's name, but the "War Demo

abolition ? If these apostates will now
come back to the principleis. of Democracy,
which they so ingloriously deserted, we
have been willing to be silent About their
great crime. But how should we treat this
assertion which accuses the great body of
Democrats, in the Chicago Convention of
being "hirelings of the administration I"
More than twoAhirds of the - delegafes of
that Convention were Pease Democrats.
There was a compromise between the ma
jority and the minority on the platform and
the modulate—the majority accepting what
they understood as a peace platform, and
yielded to the minority the candidate, on the
mistaken idea of availability. The com
proase turned out an unfortunate one, as
be carried, certainly, one and probably two,
less States than either of' the Governor Sey
mours would have Parried. The whole
truth is, that the tinority played a trick
upon' the majority by assuring think that
Gen. McClellan wit; td accept the nomina
tion on the platform of the party. They
knew better, and it was no-part. of their
plan that he should accept the platform.,
Be repudiated' that part which was most
vital to theenajority of the Convention. So
we were forced into the campaign with the
platform looking one way and the candidate
the other, with an obliquity of vision,which
was, as we have somewhere eke said, mere
than a match for the face of Butler, sur
named "the beast." It was an awful ig
nre for alreat politcal party to cut before
the wormer The whole responsihility of this
great shame was with those • wito:were the
supporters of the abolition war. They were
the supportbrs of Lincoln's administration,
for the tear wasihia administration ; and if
anybody were his "birstling , !" tipsy were

is an illustration of the sacrifices that .were
made to appease the clamor of the coviardly
stay-at-home patriots for the more vigorous
protiecution of the war. Virginia to-day
holds the hones of no less than fifty thou
sand bravo private soldiers, whose lives
were ratilessly sacrificed to the importunity
of abolition and newspaper politicians, who
were constantly exerting a control over the
operations of our armies in the field.
Thu slaughter of some sixteen hundred
brave men, by the explosion of the Sultana,
who, atter surviving , the thousand dangers
and hardships of the battle-field, had to fall
victims to the groveling, heartless avaripe

It is the responsibtlit,y of the party in

their fatally mistaken policy grid the con

quet of Macbeth, "with a (million) mortal

It is this which makes them anxions
about the "votes of tUe soldiers," and which
prompts the continued falsification of the

Philadelphia Press, in attempting to justify
the continuance of millitary rule, argues
that the government has to make peace
with the rebels individually, and that, so
long as a single person who has been en
gaged in the rebellion remains unpardoned
or.unpuniehed, peace eaupot be proclaimed
We suppose, therefore, that the whole peo
pie of the United States must be deprived
of their usual liberty and rights and mar
tial law must prevail from the St. Lawrence
to the Rio Grande. because there may be
in some of the swamps of Florida or the
cane brakes of Louisiana a solitary rebel
who has net yet reported to the Provost
Marshal and taken the oath of allegiance.
If this doctrine is acted upon by thezov
erntoent we need not hope to entire peace
restored during the next ten years. Pro
vost m ar shal. will continue to make ar
rests and military commissions will contin
ue to convict the citizens of northern States
for alleged infractions of millitary law,
