u 1t is really amusing to see the extreme sens'
tiveness of some of the tory papers, in view OF the
call for Democratic Wing Convention. One of
these squeamish editors says % the Wings Il int dem
ocrats, but the present National Administration is
decidedly democratic and the Wings know II.
There now Mr. State Committee, douse your col.
ors, or this ueteran will certainly Join party.
But let us look at this business. The present
administration democratic, Ell Now we have look
ed at our dictionary, and find democracy to mean
" government by the people," &c. We look back
upon the history of the last and present admnstra-
uon and we find General jackson in opposition to
the vote of Congress, saying, take the responsi-
bility" Step by step, we see HIM grasping for more
power, and Mr. Van Buren, pledging himselfto "walk
in the footsteps of his illusrious predecessor so
FAR from regarding ours as government OF the peo'
pls Mr. V. B. in his message to the extra Congress-
assumes the extraordinary doctrine that 1t is the du-
y of Government to take of ITSELF leaving the
people TO take of themselves SO far as relates
TO the currency. Is this democratic? But this
old maldish editor goes farther, and says this adj
mnstra ion " is supported exclusively by the democ-
racy OF the country" If democracy is another
name for toryism admit IT. but, if we speak of the
democracy of numbers, it is quite another affair.
Now gentle reader, just glance a: the States, once
in support ofthe administration, which have now
abandoned it, the democracy of numbers arising in
their strength and breaking the cords of the magi-
| clan. Where is Maine, and Rhode Island, and
Connecticut and New York, and New Jersey, and
Mar, land, and Ohio, and Indiana, and Illinois, and
Kentucky and Tennessee, IL Mississippi, and Dem
ocratic VIRGINIA? All these have come up to the
rescue and no longer support the present admins
trauon" while Vermont, Massachusetts and Della
ware, pursuing the even tenor of their ways, to.
sether with the entire northern and western States
unite in declaring for government of the peo-
pes" a democratic government, while the tories OF
the north unite with the great S. Carolina nulifier
in bolstering up the tottering concerns of the ad-
mnstration, and constantly crying democracy,
democracy Oh, the beauties of Van Buren, de-
mocracy!

THE NATIONAL DEBT

Since Mr. Van Buren, came into power, besides
all the accruiug of his term, and nine mil
lions of the surplus withheld from the States, he
has managed to involve the country in a debt of
500 900 000 for which he asks the issue OF $50 00h
900 of inconvertible paper. The Government ia
MISUNDERSTANDING bankrupt-and every two
or three weeks Mr. Cambreleng comes running
into the House, begging in heaven name
for little mole money-and protesting that the de-
partments have not enough to keep them In motion
without INN ediate assistance. There Is no system
exhibited in the financial operations of the Govern
ment-no foresg ht-no prudence. The men In
mower are ashamed or afraid to look at affairs in
their true light. They are unwilling to confess
their real condition. either TO the country or them
selves They unwilling to bring their demands
berore Congress in a manner that would admit of
their seasonabe discussion-but deferring every
thing Till the exigencies of the country will admit
of no further delay-press Gpon Congress for money
make oath that the public interests suffering
for The want of it-that the national credit cannot
be sustained without it--and them forsooth, there
is nothing to be done but TO authorize the treasury
to issue more paper, with the view of " combining
the action of the Federal Government'-as Mr. Van
Buren, assured in his letter to Sherrod Williams
- nto the creation OF coin"-When he should come
into power we were assured by Mr. Van Buren, the
candidate, all that he should ask of the States
would be to give " free chance of circulation" to
the coin that he ''create." And in about q
tw lvemonth, behold, not coin in the Golfers of
the Government-and the States are called upon 10
give free chance Of circulation 500, 900 900 of
