Under this head, the editor of the Democrat says, in his last paper that. "Essy Convention that has heretofore been held in this Ssae has been ssed Tor the benefit of fimily Clique at this place, which has very modestly claimed all the important offices of the General and State Governments, for its mem hers and their strikers" Our neighbor seems to have forgotten that the nominations by the conven- tion of ISi4, were as follows:

 For Congress, A. YELL.

 For Governor. D. J. CH. .PMAN.

 Electors for President. MARX w HARD, W, ;. OLDHAM, and CHESTER ASHLEY. Dsd those gen. tlemsr, Mir. Editor, belong to ihe sci you designa- ted as the family cliqus''' If so, will you be good enough to tell us who it includes beside, and how far it extends We imagine neither Dr. Chap man nor Col. Ashley will claim such distinction, .isi..ash inc nominees of Democratie convention and as such canvassed the State, for the respective offices for which they were selected.

 The extract we have made from the Democrr :, ab- ssrd enough, would not require notice but or its hidden purpose.

 Every one who knows anything of the history of our conventions. will perceive that the Editor is paving the way to repudia;e the action of the ventioa, which will be held in Jan. next, and very ;ngeniousy contriving, hole to creep still further out of the Democratic party, should the nominees not be men, who have pledged allagience to the ..Ashey faction" | its organ.

 We have had an inkiing. that there is a noseless but very decided split in the Whis ranks, which hss been growing wider since the last congressional election. To those who have noticed the obsequi- eusness of the Democrat to the leader of one esiumn of whiggery, with the further fact that both are willing to ''sappor Gen, TdyiOr for Presidesi snd ask no questions. such things are ominous oi sesai,ioa which iorebodes no good to the party, and against which all true Democrats should be forewarned. If Gen. Taylor, declares himself a Democrat and the National Convention nominates hin. this will all be very well Under such eircum- stances we will give him our cordial support, but we hope that the democratic party, with all it's ex- ultation in his brilliant achievements, will never forego principles for military fame, however dag. xling. It would not surprise US. however, to see at the head of the Democrat, the name of Gen. Fay lcr. hois;ed whether whig or Democrat. and | chance afforded for the successful wing" of the whig party. to speculate again in a newspaper s'good will and all"
