Convention, in so far as it refused to endorse
the general .measures of Governor 'Packer's
Administration. In that we thought -they
did wrong, and we have not since changed
our,opinion. But the late Convention has
gone much further-than tliv, and those who
composed it are now in_ open rebellion to the
party, the principles of %%Lich they profess
to bold sacred."
Douglas' Nations! Organ, The Slates, rif
Washington, seems if, think, very properly,
that lice proceedings t f the Knox-Latirnam
Forney Convention contemplate T aa la trice
with 131aek Republicanism, and condemns
The movement as palpably ho tle to the
usnes and integrity of the Democratic party,
It thus evprt uses itself :
"We di , approt'e the movement, because it
has the warrant neither of policy nor usage,
We think there is no doubt thaeovery
wire-puller in this treacherous movement
intends to leave, ettirely arid finally, the
Democratic party, and join - the Opposition.

I purporting to be from a ilarford correspond
cat, in which the banner for rotrdYism is
' claimed fur Ilerford, the writer says "thrt

engaged in the nefarious busioess of serenad

stood' by and witnessed a riotous proceeding

contained in the sail article, we t h e ritizians
of Ilerford vifinge would state that upon the
