"The Argus says it never sup ported
any of our party. Perhaps not. But
it certainly now supports one who has
been Of our party."-COlunabns Demo-
! crGt.
What's the harm! The prodigal re-
pented and was forgiven. Why MIR.
Democrat, we will support yO~ when
you repent of your political errors.
The words nullityer," and i" nullity-
ing" have peculiar charm for the De
mocrat. 1t rolls them under its tongue
like sweet morsels, and seems to deem
them a panacea for its own political
tergiversations. We would inform that
journal that the public is tired of its
pointless catch words, and that such
epithets have become disgusting TO the
community from their long use.
Our neighbor IS silent on the subject
of Mr.. ClaibOrne'S opinions in relation
to United States Bank. Isit possible
the Democrat is supporting a man, of
whose opinions it is ignorant Or is its
silence on the subject tantamount to an
admission that Mr.. Claiborne is, as we
suspect, in favor of a National Bank 7
No lodging, Sir
DC The Democrat says of General
Acee, that "he is now, we believe, a
very good Bank man."
That General e. L. Acee'is a UcTu
good man very few doubt; and that
he will be il favor of a Uery good
National Bank, one that will equalize
Exchanges and bring back the good
old times when we were q prosper
GUS and happy people, we feel toler'
ably sure. We therefore support him
for Congress.
The following which we copy from
the Columbus Democrat induces us tc
believe that it is pursuing the .ohipping
in system:
1t remains to be seen how many o
the democratic party can be caiolCd anC
duped by the sophistries and artful state
ments of Wing orators"
When it is seen how many of the
democratic party can no longer e
with the men whose measures have al
most ruined the country,-what then
Why the mighty Democrat will, per
haps, call them fools and dupes! These
threats are fit for slaves, and not fol
freemenl Democrats Of Lowndes-
are you prepared for this2
