ïfjm the Nllea Dormnrat. We doem it tho imperativo duty of every Dcmocrut to stand Bteadfast in the rar:ks ot' his party and await tho action and doision of tho National (■onvcntion. Nb baste or exeiteinent is nocossary in tho matter. There is nothing lost by delay, but innoh inightbc gained whioh may bo of great importanoe to tho party in tho future. Lot our organization as a party romain peri'oct and complete, and thereby preserve its power and integrity ; and when it innvis, in whatovor direction wisdom may dict.ate, let it movo as one solid mass, with the sanio objrct and aim in view, and its power and influence will bo feit. In no other wny can any good result to the party or country. The intorosts of the party as well as the most sacred interests of tho country demand that every Democrut shall stand by liis party and it time honored principios. Let there bo 110 breaking or desertion - let all go to victory ordofoat. If, in the wisdom of our National Convention, itisthought best to select standard-bcarors froni our own party, thon it is the duty of every Democrat and truo lover of his country to stand by his colora, resolved to defend them to the last. But, should wisdom and polioy dietate otberwiae, then let the Ramc unity and harmony provail ; let there be no división or splitting up of' tho party ; let all enter tho contest together and cotno out together, whother tho banners are floating in the breeze witli victory inscribed upon thein or trailicg in the dust with tho glooruy iuecription of defeat. Josh Billings says : " Most men concedo that it looks foolish to seo a boy dragging :i heavy sled up the hill for tho Mlitcim' plefMiire of ridins down again. Bat it appeara to me that boy is a age by the ride of that young man who works hard all wock and drinks up his wages on Saturday night." 1 1 m ii The Polite Ji:dqe. - A famous English Judgo had a habitof bAgging pardon on everv occasion. At tho close of the Assizc, as he was about to loavo tho bonch, the officer ui tlic c.ourt reuiinded him thut he liad uot passed sentnnce of deftth on one of tho crimináis, as he had intended. " Doar me," said his lordship, "I really beg his pardon. Send him in."
