Tlae Bogus Convention and its l'ro
ecedings. We do not belong to that class of individuals
who believe, or affect to believe, that the days of
the Democratic party are numbered, and that it
has fought its hist successful fight achieved its
last victory. We believe that it will cease to ex
iot only wheu the Uuiou is dissolved, and the
Constitution treated as a nullity. The efforts of
traitors within its ranks to weaken it, will tend
in the end to strengthen it, by rclieTing it of a
class of demagogues, w ho despise principles, and
worship at the shrine of self-interest and ambi
tion. The proceedings of the gathering of bogus
Democrats at Harrisburg last Wednesday, were
r.ot calculated, in our opinion, to carry dismay
into the ranks of the true Democracy, or to jus
tify .any member of the "party iu crying out
"all is lost." It was a gathering in open viola
tion of the rules and usages of the party, and
was controlled by men who have not been recog
nized as Democrats during the last year
It was
,v, incj.urju anoruing an opportunity
to a few dis-ipponited ofiice seekers and apnli-
cants for government contracts, to "digest the
venom of their spleen" against Mr. Buchanan,
navinjr disgorged themselves, and Knhirrr,l
raved, ranted and sworn to their heart's content,
they, adjourned and returned to their homes.

IUs our sincere desire to see the Democracy of
Pennsylvania once more united and working hai
moniousiy together for the success of the Commou
Cause. We have nothing to gain, but, on the
contrary, everything to lose, by quarreling among
ourselves. Had we the power to heal the dis
sensions which exist in our ranks, we would
willingly do so, and let the dead past bury its
dead. But Forney and his aids appear to be
"fatally bent on mischief;' they treat the prin
ciples, the usages and the nominees of the party
with contempt, and openly avow their intention
to play into the hands of the Black Republicans
during the campaign which has just opened. To
continue to treat them, to recognize them, as
Democrats under the circumstances, 'would be
to imitate the conduct of the man who warmed
into life in his own bosom the serpent which
afterward stung him to the heart. The Israelite,
endowed with irresistible strength, was shorn of
it in a few moments, while reposing in the arms
of his treacherous mistress. When aroused by
the words '-The Philistines be upon thee, Samp
son," he found himself as weak and powerless
as a child. And so it will be with the Demo
cratic party if it confides in and recognizes as its
members, the men who have recently set at
nought its principles and usages, and are endea
voiing to sell it to the Black Republicans for a
price. If it continues to confide in them, it will
not be lung until it will discover that it is pow
erless in its own defence, and at the mercy of the
enemy. If Forney & Co. wish to go over to the
enem-, let them "stand not upon the order of
their going, but go at once." Let them cease
sailing under false colors, and openly acknowl
edge that they are enemies of tho Democratic
party. After they have all left, the Democracy
will still be a powerful organization. But even
though only a handful should remain, they wo'd
be sufficient to preserve the principles of the
part', and constitute a nucleus around which
would soou form an organization upholding the
doctrines of Jefferson and Jackson, and wlnY.h
