columns Of the address of the Van Buren, mem
bers of Congress, the words democrat, demo
cratic, or democracy, are not named even once.
Have the high-priests of the party concluded to
eschew the name altogether! Most surely
they ought to do il: the administration, which
openly and continually violates the will of the
people, has no title either to democracy or to
republicanism.-pt Watch.
This is curious fact. We noticed that the
editorial puff of this Address, in the last Demo-
crat, says not a word about Democracy, but
calls it the address Of the " Republican Mem
bers'' sc. We are glad to find they are be-
ginning to see the inconsistency between the
claims of the party to be exclusively democrats,
and their aristocrdtic and mondrchichai meas
ures. Our neighbor must alter his title to
" The w. c. Republican,; or what would be
far better the w. c. Loco Foco."

Sentinel goes ahead of it's compeers in lying
about Bonds speech this paper makes it out
nine days long,at = 900 per day!-pt. Watch.
What becomes ofthe public money? Let the
Federal Congressman answer. John q. Adj
ans spoke during the late session, on various
questions, at least thirty days at 1900 per day jim
GLIDING expenses efsending oHspeech-
es, 100000
Bond (the Bank AIRY. spoke 0 days, $4,000
Mason, and other wings, spoke II
days in attempts TO suppress the ev-
idence in the case of Mr.. Cilley, $4,000
Those three items only amount to $4,000
The above, which is the latest specimen of
loco foco veracity, appeared in the Democrat
of last week. And really, would the editor cur
tail the freedom of discussion in Congress '-But
in vain will the Locos seek to hide the extrava-
gance OF the administration, by such devices.
The fact was that Mr.. Bond spoke only nine
or ten hours, instead Of so many days. Com
mon sense would teach any man that nine days
could not be consumed in delivering the speech,
which is before the public, occupying about as
much space as two pages of our paper.
iUP The locolocos are copying articles from
the London Times, and other British newspa-
pers, highly laudatory ofthe administration and
its experiments. II is no wonder that ultra
Tory British editors should like 10 see the cx-
periments continued until the republic is liter
aly-Jio,cn up,-and its fragments scattered to
the winds; but is it not rather odd to see the
sell-styled pinks of democracy" copying these
Britons! That democracy which, in 1888,
leans on British tories for support, must be Gu
rious democracy, surely.-Vt. Wdieh.
We'll, let them get all the support they can
from foreign monarchists. They need their
aid for the " democracy of numbers" is against
them. According to their own showing, the
always were in alliance with Great
Britain, and they seem to be STILL

True, and there never was time when tne,r
prospects were better. He adds,
" As yet the democracy have done nothing

ii's too late. Printing Duncan's speech can't
save you. Farmer Jenison has tho start of
Lawyer Bradley, and Cashier Cieares, will

Treasurer Of State.
THE FIRE AT HUDsoN.-The Hudson Ca
,ette gives full account of the disastrous fire
hat occurred in the city on Tuesday night.
Between sixty and seventy dwelling houses
md stores, with large amount of furniture
md merchandise were consumed, and more
han one hundred families deprived Of home.
The fire commenced about O'Clock, p. NJ,
md was occasioned by spark from the Chin
ley of the Steamboat Congress as she rounded
%, to take barge lying at the dock, which
taught in the old storehouse of Samuel Plumb. |
The building being old and very dry, and filled
With old lumber, was soon in flames, and the
wind blowing very strong from the north west,
he fire spread with the most astonishing rap
dity, bidding defiance 10 the exertions OF the
iremen.-N. Y. Express.
IL is a remarkable fact, and one which ought
TO sink deep into the minds of our fellow cit
zens, that the expenses Of the Government
Turing Mr.. Van Buren's first year pere nearly
rs great as during the ,ohoie four years of Mr..
adams U!-Louisuiiie Journal.
At Cincinnati there is still greater decline
in -four. On the 26th there were small sales
at $3.50 IS. The river was as low as il had
been during the last two years, and still grea-
Ter fall was expected.
New PApER.-Kinncutt. formerly Editor
Of the Lowell Bulletin, has commenced a new
paper at Pawtucket, RI. called the "Pawtucket
Gazette" The paper is neatly printed and
the editorial and selections good.
LADIES' CoMPANIoN.-The August No. of
this excellent work has been received; il is of
much worth, and will make any lady an inter-
esting and useful 'companion.' p5-Subscrp-
lions received at this office.
npThe Democrat writer's appear to think
hat the authors Of the Wing Address do not
understand their own principles. The mis-.
understanding is altogether their own
They have been so long in the practice of
charging the wings with principles which !
hey themselves only are capable of enter.
