not always the spirit of reorH this parry seem desr- mined let the spirit of fdsOEganizaOn, in every thing without any regard to the ancient landmarks and fun. damental principles and doctrines of Democracy as they have heretofore been praciised and acknowl- edged, until, perhaps the undermining and crash of sone Ot our most valuable and timehOnored institu- tions warns them of the irrational and disastrous f- naticism with which they are infected.
 It Is fortunate thing for the world and the immn table principles of honest and sound democracy that there always strong antipathy in the minds of the Feope, against gOig 10 extremes. In this State-the artamed land of steady habits great mass of the People generally think rghtin the long run Strong good sense, and desire to act honestly and wisely, are their striking characterstics-a men thus dis hnguished cannot long be hoodwinked and misIed- They may sometimes be overcome by frenzy. but the heat of is Reason speedily gets the bet ter of excitement and they relapse into their predom- nant habit of correct thinking:
 It IS upon these characteTlstcs of the Peope-the Democracy of we rely, for correct ing the political hereses into which portion of those who loudly profess Democracy have talen. Their unsettled actions itching for distinction and self aggrandzement-and desire for novelty, are leading many astray from sound principles of goveTnment.- Rather than teach us to ~bear the ills we have" or how to correct them, these men would prompt us to " fly to others that we know not of" But we have the utmost confidence in the honesty and intelligence of the Peopethat they will correct the inrOads and excesses of this clan of selfish and unprnciped men

 We believe the time is near at hand when the De- mocracy of Connecticut about to turn their atten-

 ge of the object of their prejudice. The sooner these noxious weeds are rooted out from the old fashioned Jefersonan democratic party the better for the inter- and popular rights. That it will be done, have no doubt The voice of the Democracy is loudly calling for i,-the public will demands it and where is the The feelings and wishes of the majority cannot much longer be held in subservlency to the ntEgues and party machinery of small clique of sesh exclusive else than democratic, and whose only object and aim is to aggrandize themselves, and decry and abuse all who are not equally dishonest as themselves. A new era awaits the Democrats of Connectcut--an era of puri6cation from the new-fanged and ant.democrat- c notions of certain radicals or Loco Focos-notons directly at with the courteous, kind and humane principles of honest unadultered Democracy, and bet suited to the dark ages the officers o the Span. sh Inqusition, than to the enlightened age in which We live"
