strength We havo a fair field before us
and a bright ptoepeet of success if we aci in
conceit and present an unbroken front to
our political opponents. The great watch
word of the party is "principles, not men,"
,ind every Democrat should reflect lhat in

he is not so much procuring the elevation

Irnv his allegiance and tender it to the op.

mil deserving claims of ihnso who have
consistently and ardt'tuly advocated the

At lhe present lime there is an aclunl
necessity for tin practice of discipline and
the exercise of a sp'uii of conciliation, if we
wish to reap the benefit of our numbt rf
ami take advantage of lhe bickerings and
