Ancient mythology tells us that it was at a feast-the nup Ials of Peleus and Thetis--where joy and conigratulat ions Li reigned, that the apple of discord fell. causing strife in heaven, waft andblood - C shed upon earth.. Atid so, amid the a triumphs and *shouts of party, there u ever steals in the spirit of sellish ambi- v tion, uprooting harmony, aud sacriticing r fresh pledges. in the hot pursuit of per- y sonal aims. No people have had the y apple of discord so often cast, by so jealous, hostile, or treacherous hand, the midst of their ha, mony, and at e most critical moments of. their existe 0 as the peop'e of the South. Her t men, her sturdy, unbought, patr ~w have witnessed, again, and again, the gathering spirit oier people, weakened, wasted--until n distrust in her abili- t ty to appreciate or4ulil the destiny a which seems so olearly' held out to her. E As stated in our first ariicle(l the Ad c vertiser proposes the union of the State, I and tile union of the South as the ol. t jcts to be accomplished by our partici pating in the Cincinnati Convention- r objects great and glorious indeed. But as to the first? we think we have al. ready shown, that it has ever been pre. served by the very policy now sought to t be subverted ; and that the surest way to divide the State, is to adopt the men sure proposed by the Advertiser and others. And here it is due to the Ad vertiser to state, that between its pro position, and that (if the avowed Nation al Democrats, we can see no practical difference. Both subvert the established pol kof the State; both conduct her int&. eaucus,.whose unconstitutionalitvI and ruptiob she hats ever condemnei; bot Ike at her complete indepen d party ties, and betray her inlto fell with Abolitionists and Free soll4 here be any difference, it is in fi National Democriats who, at o110 coicealment of tlleir objects.. openly-*oclaim their - determilia commit the fortunes of the State to, Democratic party ; they avow their d ) to a National or - ganization, roe blush to show the "itohing.
