Parties sre seldom urghuizqd by people who hare the good of their tallow citizens and the oountry alone at heart. They are nearly always gotten up by design- lag or ambitions men, for selfish or sordid pur poses. Such men generally care but little whether the country fares well or ill, se their uvd ambition i# gratified. Their lust for pow er and position, and fondness of feeding at the public crib, will cause them to rush rashly into any measures, and advocate any line of policy whatever—no matter bow disastrous the consequences may be to the peace and beat iutereata of the country—if their unholy pur poses are thereby accomplished. Good men are often identified with political parties.— They find it necessary to counteract the evil 4 nffaenoee and mischief which partiee here previously engendered; bnt the conservative portion of the country—the patriotic, the good and the wise—in almost every instance, deprecate the existence of partisan political warfare, and the agitation of all subjects that lead to saeh organisation*. Wfc think the present a fitting tim* to try to impress upon our readers, and the whole coun try, the necessity of keeping down—at least for the present—all attempts to get up party or ganisations. We think we might safely say that the first attempt at the formation of a po litical party in the Confederate States, will be by those who have selfish ends to promote, and with whom the public good is a matter of sec ondary importance. We now are a united peo ple. Tranquility reigns in mil our country— and it does seem to us that all good men should earnestly endeavor to frown down any and ev erything that would disturb this happy condi tion of affairs. We should profit by our late experiences, and by the history of this country. But for the baneful inflences of party spirit, the dissensions and wrangling upon the slavery question, which mark the history of the United States, would never have existed ; and with the non existence of such agitation, secession would never have been thought of. It was parlyism alone that furnished the South with a cause for breaking op this Government. It may have been a patriotic doty to break up the Govern ment for causes that existed; bat the cause was originated by partisans for unpatriotic mo- tivoa. The same cause will produce the same effect among us again, if we suffer it to be in dulged in. We know not what a day may bring forth, nor how soon our united strength and resources will be required to drive back an invading foe. The revolution which we have just brought about, ia without a parallel in the history of the world. Never since the Creation, did five millions of people, inhabiting so choice a por tion of the eerth, within the ehort spsce of ninety days, sever their political ties of long standing, organize a good government, and put its wheels successfully in motion, until the people of the Southern States accomplished this magnificent feat. And eo far it haa been bloodless—we hope it will be so to the end. The facilities with which we have performed this great revolution, should admonish us that wo can do the like again, among ourselves, if distentions and party strife should alienate any portion of our people from our government; and it should bo, and will be, the study of all wise and patriotic men, to avoid the formstion of parties—especially so soon. With our pres ent condition, everybody, so far as we know, is satisfied—nay pleased. All persons, of all shades of former opinions, yield a cordial and hearty assent to our Constitution and the policy of the Government, so far as de veloped or indicated. Many of our best citi zens were opposed to secession at the time, and in the manner in which it wee done; but no one of all that number baa refused to ooms up heartily to the support of our country's policy, as soon as that was made known. Thls,t« our mind, presents the most sublime spectacle of lofty patriotic devotion to country that the world’e history rcoords. This same element, In a good degree, composes the conservatism, tho liability, the enterprise, the wealth, the good name, and the greatness our country.— We do net mean to disparage the worth, coo- aervatiam, wealth or enterprise of other ele ments among our peepl* All classes, parties, and interest* in the South—our whole people —hate more patriotism, and leas corruption among them, than any other people on earth. *Ws*n«ed but one admonition, which, if we head* are shall do wall, and our auccesi will be all thaMhamoetaanguinecouldexpect.
