The Washington Spectator, on the harmony of the Democratic Party the means of preserving- it. Th# suggestions of the Spectator on these vital subjects, evince a judgment so sound ami a spirit so liberal and patriotic, we arc sure our readers will be gratified, by meeting them in the columns of the Democrat. Harmony of the Party™the Means of Pre serving it. The Union of the Democratic party is an object justly dear to its members, and none have labored more earnestly than ourselves to attain this happy result. But we have never believed that it was to be accomplished by requiring unne cessary sacrifices, either of interest or opinion, from any portion of our friends; and we have entertained a sincere con viction that the harmony of the party would depend upon the justice of its ac tion, and the efficiency of the means by which it sought to develop the true sense of its members. For ourselves, we are the friends of all the candidates, and the enemies of none ; and while we have a very decided preference for one, we shall endeavor to do full justice to the others. But if the proceedings of the party are to be regulated with an exclusive refer ence to a particular candidate, will mere appeals to the generous feelings of the friends of all the others secure their hear- ty concurrence in measures which, tho’ not designed for that purpose, may have the effect of suppressing the voice of a large majority of the party ? We doubt not but that there is enough of generous and disinterested feeling in every portion of the Democratic party to induce it to make all necessary sacrifices, either of interest or feeling, when the common good may require it; but more cannot and ought not to be expected. It is the great object of a National Convention to develop the true sense of the party as to the man who is most likely to unite the suffrages of its members, and the insti tution must lose the confidence of the people, whenever, in their opinion, it has ceased to be true to these ends. It is of the utmost importance, there fore, to adopt such regulations in rela tion to the time, ‘place, and manner of holding the Convention, as to inspire a confidence in the party that it will faith fully rellect their will. We know that it is impossible to prevent entirely the sus picions with which the proceedings oi such a body are naturally received by the public mind. Our opponents will always attribute improper influences to a convention, no matter how fairly it may be constituted, whilst a portion of our friends may be too ready to receive the suspicions which may be suggested, by disappointed expectations in our ranks. But it is the vulnerable point, which we ought to guard with the most care ; and these difficulties only afford additional reasons for adopting such regulations as to time, place, and manner of holding the Convention, as may serve to inspire confidence in the fidelity and justice cf its action. The place ought to be of convenient access to the whole Union ; the time ought to Ixj such as to allow a full and fair opportunity for comparing the pretensions of the candidates, and for interchanging opinion amongst the members of the party, so as to collect their wishes in time for the organization which may be necessary to meet the common enemy; and the Convention should Ix3 conducted in such a manner as to reflect fairly the will of every por tion of the party, according to its weight in the Federal Government. All these objects are important; and we haw been surprised that there should have been any difference of opinion as to tho time, which, so far, has been the question most discussed. Every reason seemed to us to be in favor of the usual time, in the spring before the election. It would have been enough for us that the friends of four out of the five candidates believ ed the latter day to he necessary for a full and fair expression of the popular will. Unless there were some overrul ing consideration of the common good, and none such has been due to the cor diality of fellowship, and the harmony of brethren, that the wishes of so many should have been consulted upon a ques tion so delicate as that of a fair ad just ment of claims between friends, and es pecially as it now appears that the sup porters of the one never believed that his interests would have been seriously af fected by the adoption of a later day. But, independently of these consider ations, these seemed to be peculiar jus tice in the proposition of those who desi red the convention to meet at the usual time. To the new candidates, it was especially important. The election of a candidate, as we all know, depends not only on the public opinion of his merits, but upon his supposed availability.— There must be time enough given before the Convention assembles, to enable the public mind to be satisfied upon the lat ter question, in order to do justice to the candidate. An opportunity must be giv en to his friends to compare opinions, and ascertain the public sentiment; and more especially is this necessary, as the impression of availability is often the pre vailing one in determining the election. In this point of view, a premature Convention would have been to force the choice of the only one amongst the can didates whose friends had possessed the opportunity in a previous election of comparing opinions, and estimating their forces. Such a selectionof the day would have been to say to the public: Although a majority may prefer a man as yet un tried in the field, you shall not have the time necessary to ascertain his availabil ity, though it may be an important con sideration in making your choice. In a Confederacy so extensive in ter ritory, and so various in interest, the people require at least until the spring liefore the election to canvass fully the merits of the respective candidates, and to determine their relative qualifications in all respects. In addition to this, the utility of the Convention itself seemed to us to depend upon a proper selection cf the time. Suppose we had hurried a premature assemblage of delegates, call ed together without time or opportunity to make the preliminary inquiries so ne cessary to a proper discharge of their du ties. Suppose, too, that we had forced the friends of four candidates to submit to those of one, and asked them to ac quiesce in the decision of a convention, which they had forewarned us could not, in their opinion, if assembled at so early a day, reflect fully and fairly the senti ment of the party. Would we have made much progress towards cultivating a spirit of harmony by such a course of proceeding? They might not have re sisted ; but could we have expected the cordial co-operation of all our friends un der such circumstances? But, suppose, in addition to all these considerations, they had urged that at the next session of Congress several important questions were to be settled, and the action of the Republican candidates and their friends upon them would have a controlling in fluence upon their choice—could we justly disregard such an appeal, and might not the proceedings of the very next Congress afford the discontented an ample excuse for resisting the nomina tion ? Full time would still be left for calling another convention, and for or ganising after its meeting for the conflict with the common enemy. And thus the party might be embarrassed by the action of two conventions, and by irreconcila ble feuds amongst our own friends. In deed the very spirit which a premature convention would engender, might dis pose our friends to make points of differ ence amongst themselves, and disturb the harmony so essenti and to the proper settlement ofthe difficult questions which the next Congress must consider. But we foresee none of there difficul ties if the Convention meets in May next, and it is fairly conducted, as doubtless it will be. The very circumstance that the nomination is yet to be made, will induce the friends ofthe respective can didates to meet in a spirit of compromise and conciliation, and to settle these del icate and distracting questions upon *grounds alike safe to the country and honorable to themselves. And, after the decision in May, 1811, there will be too short a time before the election to give the disaffected any opportunity for re sistance. Theonlyother question which remains to be considered upon the subjectof time, is as to the opportunity which would thus be afforded for organizing for the conflict with the common enemy. It is to be remembered that we should have as much time left for this purpose as the Whigs have reserved for themselves ; for their Convention assembles in May, 1841, and tiicir course might have some influ ence in determining our choice of the most suitable candidate to oppose them. We should have, too, as much time as we have heretofore reserved for this pur pose, and all indeed that is necessary. The conflict between the two parties is incessantly waged, and we need no time to enable us to decide between a Whig and any tried Republican who may be presented as our candidate for the Pre sidency. But the selection amongst friends is a much more difficult question, and time is necessary to enable us to ad just it to the satisfaction of our brethren, and with harmony amongst ourselves. The zeal with which wc have hereto fore urged these views has subjected us, we are aware, to the imputation of being governed by an exclusive regard for the supposed interests of one of the candi dates ; but, if we know ourselves, we are oiiided by far higher motives. We do not profess to be indifferent to his politi cal success, but we only regard it as in our opinion identified with the welfare of the country. We are looking to har mony amongst brethren, to the success of our party, and, higher still, to tho. prosperity of our common country. — These objects, in our opinion, are inti mately associated. Without harmony amongst ourselves we are defeated as a party ; and we conscientiously believe that if the party suffers another defeat, the star of our country’s glory will pale under the malign influences which will then be in the ascendant. It is in view of these high considerations, and for no pcrsonnl preferences, that wc so earnest ly urge the course which wc think will best preserve the harmony of the party. To be true to the party, we must be just to ench, and we deserve the thanks of all if wc endeavor to prevent a wrong to any. Nor does our preference for one make us the least insensible to the mer its, or ungrateful for the services, of the other great leaders of the party. It is with no design to disparage the claims of the others that we have ventured to express our preference for the distill guished South Carolinian, as the man best fitted for the times, and most likely to lead the Democratic party to victory. His position and character, his abilities and services, justify the hope that his ad ministration would elevate tin* tone of public feeling, and develop the vast ral and physical resources of a country, whose Government can only be success fully conducted by compromises, which satisfatorily and skilfully adjust the pro gress of society and the march of true principle to the conflicting interests and varied character of a people who occupy nearly the half of our continent. To him we look for purity of motive, mod eration of purpose, wisdom in council, and justice in action, which would pro perly adorn the first office in the world ; and in him we recognise a leader wor thy of the party and the country to which we tie long. —^ There is a singular vigor of mind, as well us body, in tie men who ha"e been piaced out of the reach of luxury and corruption by their poor or obscure condition. A3EC3SLTi3& WEDNESDAY. JUNE 7, 1811. I'OU PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. JOHN C. CALHOUN, FOR VICE PRESIDENT: LEVI WOODBURY, We marked the birth-day of our Journal, by unfurling to the breeze the broad banner of Democracy, and inscribing upon its bright field the stainless name of John C. Calhoun, the American Aristides, as our First Choice for President of the United States] and for the Vice Presidency, the name of that icisc, honest and able Statesman and unswerving Patriot, Levi Woodbury, of New Hampshire: Subject, of course, to the decision of a Na tional Democratic Convention; The Delegates to be chosen directly by the People —to convene at Balti more, May, 1844, and there individu ally express Faithfully, the will of their Constituents. Wc ask but a fair field and fair play —and then “ Cod defend the Right." Remarks on some peculiarities in Mr. Cal houn's diameter, &c. The combination of simplicity and power the ca pacity for the deepest and most abstruse research, uni ted with the most efficient and minutely regulated practical executive activity, place him as a states man, perhaps without a parallel. A candid man can not rise from the modest, unpretending,yet unques tionably authentic biography of the great Carolini an, without recollecting the stanza in Gray’s beauti ful, though not faultless poem, “The Country Church Yard.” “The applause of listening Senates to command, The threats of pain and ruin to despise, To scatter plenty o’er a smiling land, And read his history in a nation’s eyes.” We beg leave to recommend the perusal of that biography to every candid man iu Georgia. It rec tifies sundry misapprehensions and prejudices long entertained in this State against Mr. Calhoun. On this account, wc confess our obligations to the biog raphy—it has afforded satisfactory explanations of some particulars in the early career of Mr. C. wc at the time censured freely : there is stiH something in his conduct at that period, connected with indi viduals and affairs in this State, we cannot think of without regret. We know, he saw what is alluded to. But admitting the mistakes, what docs it prove? Simply this that John C. Calhoun, was a son of Adam and not of the skies. Sincc_ the first man was created, there has existed but one Being wear ing the human form, who never erred!!! If in ear ly political life our great statesman made some false steps, has he not amply, nobly atoned for them, by a manhood and mature age of inestimable public ser vices, political wisdom and devotedpatriotism ? Wc hope for the honor of the democracy of this country for the sake of human nature, that the name of John Caldwell Calhoun may never become an item in that opprobrious schedule, specifying in stances of infamous ingratitude committed by Re publics and Republican parties, against their ablest and most devoted friends, their most meritorious benefactors —a schedule with which the advocates of despotism so often taunt the friends of Ficedom and that has so oft redened the check and excited the iiiditrnation ot every honest and high-minded Democrat. Wr-r , —^ The Jlac n Fire Department. For the last few months, scarcely a week has passed, without intelligence reaching us of some awful conflagration (affecting chiefly our Southern cities) blasting the hopes and involving thousands of our fell iw creatures in all the wretchedness of unexpected indigence. We learu with uuminglcd regret and profound sympathy, that the capital of our neighboring terri tory of Florida, lias recently experienced one of those terrible visitations —that Tallahassee, a city filled with life, the bustle of business and the usual allotment of human comforts, was in the space of a ’few short hours transformed into a mass of blacken ed and smouldering ruins, through which were seen wandering houseless and pennyless victims, like the spirits of the departed visiting the scenes of former happiness. We earnestly hope, that on the subsidence ofthe agitation atld confusion necessarily attendant upon such events, the calamity may bo found les3 exten sive, than first reported. Though the accounts ofa traveller who viewed the place on the day following the conflagration, the scene was truly appaiiing. How has it happened that the melancholy tale of Tallahassee, has not before this, been to tell of the good city of Macoti ? We can account only for the exemption on the supposition, that our hour is not yet come —that the destroying angel has not yet passed in this direction for certainly no human means, have of late, been employed to avert such an evil or limit its extent had it occurred. Our city presents (with few exceptions) piles of combustible materials, which from the effects of a scorching sun and long continued drought, are highly prepared for the action of the devouring element the Fire Department is as we arc informed in a state of utter disorganization, and the Engines, from many months of neglect and disuse, totally unfitted for any imme diate service. Surely this is something worse than folly ’tis infatuation, —yet r.o tongue stirs to warn no hand is stretched to remedy the evil. The above exposo of facts one would think ought to rouse the most torpid in our community into vigilance and ac tivity, and suggest the necessity of a general meet ing of our citizens will) as little delay as possible, to consider of and adopt adequate measures for placing the Fire Department on such a footing of practical efficiency as the safety of the persons and property of our citizens imperatively demand. We trust, the good sense and liberality of our fel low-citizens composing the Fire Company, will pre vent the supposition, that the preceding remarks were intended, to have any special application to them—such in truth, is not the fact and the infer ence would be doing us great injustice. Our animadversions arc addressed to all, and meant to excite general attention to a dangerous ne glect of one of the most vitally important munici pal concerns of our city —they have been elicited simply by s sense of public duty: in that light, doubt less they will be viewed by every candid man. (»cn. Jackson's i’inc. At the teecnt session of tho Legislature of Louis iana, resolutions were passed declaring' that that State would do justice to the “greatest of heroes, and purest of men)” provided the National Congress failed t> do its duty, and restore to the gallant old cldcfiaii the amountcf the fiu« imjrracd ott him tin justly, while defending the lilit rlies of his country at New Orleans. These resolutions passed as they were by a Whig Legislature “ as an act of condem nation cf their own Senators and Representatives,” who have attempted to blacken the fame of a brave old man, who periled his life for the Slate in the darkest period of her fortunes, arc alike honorable to the State and the times. They are a green spot in the once cultivated but now “unweeded garden” of politics in this country, in which may he seen the lingering remains of former freshness and beauty. The reputation of every great man in this country, earned by a life of distinguished public services, usefulness, and honor, should be regarded by ev ery high minded American (however much they may differ in political opinion) as the common pro perty of the nation, —and should be defended by all, as a valuable possession, enriching our annals, and exaltingthc character of our common country. But the name of Jackson will live, despite W the detraction of his enemies, associated with Washing ton, Jefferson, Madison and Harrison, with a host of other patriots, as long as there is any recollection of these States, or as long as a sympathy for brave ry, or an admiring votary of patriotism remains on eat th. The T< if graph again. With that Journal \vfc wish no a tcrcation in truth, wc will have none —no verily, nor with any othei ; yet from the peculiar and uncovcted notice bestowed on our labors, by the Telegraph, w o owe it to our friends as well as ourselves, to offer a few remarks on the subject; .bis wc do the more willingly; as they ate, as far as tho Telegraph is concerned, valedic tory. The commencement of the Democrat was announ ced by the Telegraph of the 23d ult., in the folio ving literary bijou—“ Anew weekly political paper has been started in this city, purporting to be published by W. A. & C. Thompson —called the American Democrat, Edited by Dr. Win. Green.” In the little gem above quoted, the reader will notice the under scored word, and recollect that the Democrat was al ready published then, and before the person who penned the article, and that purporting.mctms design ingot intending. Yet the Savant w as so delighted with his own performance, lie boasted of the authorship. If the Proprietor of the Telegraph permits the col umns of his paper to be used as channels for effu sing the ignorance and malice of such a person, ho should not be surprised if even by the reasonable and candid, he is identified with the publication. Wc hope the writer of the notice will no', by contin uing bis lying and malicious whisperings respect ing the Democrat, render it imperative on U3 to re publish the Telegraph’s former advertisement re specting him, where his likeness is sketched in col ors so flattering and attractive. A word to the wise, Ac. It’s a safe rule “ Let every one mind his oicn business.” But let this pass. Wc arc happy to learn that a writer of a different stamp is note employed in the Editorial department of the Telegraph. If our in formation be correct, he is one wc have long known and respected for his abilities, and liked for bis ami able qualities —with that gentleman, wc can have no intercourse but that of kindness. Had he adverted more attentively to the editorials of tilt Telegraph, 23d ult, we think he would not have attributed our very quiet and temperate remarks to the morbid and excessive sensitiveness of the Ed itor of the Democrat. The drift of the articles alluded to, seems to be to prove that the editors who have made a public expressionof their opinion, by hoisting the flag of their favorite candidate, have done a very naughty thing, committed an aetpregtiant with more evils than were contained iu the casket of l’andura an act tiiat must orVCllluaic iu rows, confusion, dis aster, defeats, &c. Ac. Amo"g the Democrats, compared with which, the Devil among the Tailors, was a mere joke—oh dear, oh dear! You that have tears, prepare lushed them now. The editorial article iu the Telegraph, of the 30. h ult., (Tuesday week,) though breathing a better spirit, and clothed in a garb more attractive, is still, however, condemnatory of the editors castigated in the preceding number, a.id prophetic of the disas trous results that must ensue from such rash and puerile conduct. Now it has happened, that fifty or more Democrat ic editors through the Union, have pursued the very course so loudly reprobated by tho Telegraph among them, many whose intelligence, integrity and knowledge of public affairs arc unquestionable. With this fact hi lure him, a modest and considerate man might have hesitated, lest tic should place him self in tl.c false position ol that twelfth member of a Jury, whj denounced ..ufuriously the “damned oLsii nate eleven.” Wc neither expected nor desired pulling from the Telegraph its commendations could atlurd to no Journal with which wc arc acquainted, cither in creased profit, or additional rcputauoii. \\ e, believing Mr. Callioun decidedly the most ueaiiublt among the democratic candidates —the man loaned lor “the crisis”—hoisted his banner. The Telegraph atlcngih, concluded not luhoist die Tyler flag—well, ail dns w os as ii should be, merely au exercise ol the inestimable righlof private judgment. We were proceeding qut ctly on our way, .he Telegraph might have done so on Ats, without jostling us or uur fellow-travellers. We beg leave to assure the proprietor of that paper, that had lie cliuscii to run up the flag ol Tennessee Ar nold, the Butts, or Satan, if more agreeable, we should not have said boo to him, nor iu the slightest degree interfered with his predilections. The adage says “ There’s no disputing about tastes.” Two or three times while penning this article, wc tried to make out on w hat ground, moral, intellectual, physical, or metaphysical, the Telegraph felt war ranted, in assuming the chair of Editorial Censor, ship few we think will submit to its authority-. The new born and fiery zeal of the Telegraph for the intimate Union and unbroken front of the Democratic party, comes with an iff grace and in a very question able shape, from a paper what was apparently at least, for going on two years, been throwing fire-brands in to its ranks, and endeavoring to fan into a tlauic the few embers of that accursed feud, the Troup and Clark controversy which threw the civilization and improvc mentof Georgia twenty years backward, a idehanged her previously united demoer tie population, into Ifos tile and infuriated factions. Arc the proofs asktd for I Here they arc. The two elaborate attacks over the signature of au Old Clark-uiau, made cn tho Demo cratic party in the session of forty-one, on the sub ject of Major Howard’s Report, charging that in ihc resolutions they adopted, the censures they inflicted, and the approbation they bestowed, they were usurping the rights of the people- We refer to sun dry other articles over the same signature, “An Old Clark-man,” that have since appealed in its col umns, and tho more recent manifestation of the in ward soul of that paper in its notice of the Demo cratic Meeting, to elect Delegates to th a Convention for nominating a candidate to be run by the democ racy for Governor. It being the first day of the Su perior Court, the Meeting was large and highly re spectable, every prcciuct but one fully represented, yet tho Telegraph calls it a Meeting of a portion of the Democracy of Bibb. Call you this hacking your democratic friends, Master Telegraph ? This the mode in which you would secure their Union and united action? In that Meet'ug, out of a hundred, there w ere but three dissenters to the resolution to support JolmC. Calhoun as the democratic candidate for the I’resldcury subject to tko ultimate decis ion of a National Convention. COM -II RfTAT. JOt RVAT. MAMIN, JUNE 7.
