When we see sentiments like the follow.
ing expressed in decided Van Buren, pa
per, it shows that men are coming to their
senses, and that there is hope for the nation.
The following extract we copy from the
Frederick Times and Democratic Advocate,
an able Van Buren, paper of Maryland
Common sense must admit that Democ-
racy cannot mean one thing yesterday and
another to-day. Principles are as immuia.
bic as the laws Of Heaven. Whilst our
Chief Magistrate and our party leaders
steered the good old Democ ratio vessel in
the plain beaten track which our fathers
traversed. The eagle OF victory never failed
20 perch on its banner. But false prophets
have arisen among u.s. They have
preached their illusory creed TO the multitude
until blind infatualion has led eren them
astray, and cast the Democratic vessel upon
shoals and breakers. These false prophets
are the Ultraists and Radicals who have
sworn determination to the Banking System,
and vowed that our prosperous country
should recede back TO hard money barbarism
instead of progressing EDWARDS 10 increased
prosperity and more dazzling greatness
They contend for simple hard money gov
eminent which can never be secured until
all the banks are broken-every branch OF
American industry aud enterprise paralysed
and deadened, and the properly of every
man, woman and child, made worthless by
its depreciation.
These ignorant, disorganzing theorists
would Danish all bank notes however sound
and all credits however substaniial-whch
unwise, unsound and Revolutionary" doc
trines would ultimately fill the country with
spurious shin plasters doomed 10 die on the
hands of the poor and needy. These are
not the doctrines which our fathers preach
ed. They are miserable heresies coined by
designing demagogues TO overflow the De-
mocratic party, that they may climb into
power upon the reorganization of parties
which must take place at its dissolution
Indeed, the Democratic party is already dis
solved and the ligaments which bound it to-
gether scattered TO the four winds of Heaven,
unless Mr. Van Buren, re-embraces the prin-
ciples which he was induced to lorsake by
the counsels of corrupt advisers
