We understand that at the meeting of the county nllinncc yesterday at Boston, a resolution was adopted in structing the representatives from this coilnty to vote against Gordon for Senator. A member of the alliance rcmnrked that the instructions were not applied to Senator Mitchell. The question naturally comcB up: Did the eontparlively few gentle men participating in the meeting, have a right to speak for the sixteen hundred democratic voters of Thomas county ? The democratic party is a party of majorities, and no minority has a right to speak fur iho majority. We re as sert what bus been said before in these columns, that a majority of the dem ocratic voters in Thomas county tavor Gordon. The representatives from this county are not going to the leg islature to rcpresc-nt one portion of the party or county ; but they go to represent the ontire county aud party. Hundreds of men voted the ticket, with the understanding that Gordon would be supported. If a majority of the party so wishes, no minority has a right to iustruct otherwise. .Such minority has a perfect right to express its views, and so hns the ma jority. Hay.
