THE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE"

This democratic principle of the loco focos,
is the must wonderful thing, we ever heard of
When applied to members of that faction, it's
wonderful performances exceed the mysterious
workings of the tabled talsman, oil the magic
wand, of an oriental astrologer Governor Nor
ton was the first to give notice of the term,
but unfortunately, left US rather in the dark as
to its "position" and ''identity." The Boston
Post, however, gives us the following choice
morsel-a mere crumb we suppose.
Speaking of Mr.. Parmcnter's speech, the Post
says -
awe are proud Of this production because it
comes from a Self-made man, and shows that if
we will only give the democratic principle fair
play, it will make men capable of understanding
and arguing all the great interests of the country
without the fictitious aids of college diplomas or
legal training at the bar. William Parmenter is
the only member of Congress, of the portion
comprising the delegation of Massachusetts,,
who was not bread lawyer."
Really, we should be glad if the Post, would
tell us what is intended by "selfmade" men, 1t
strikes US that all men, who made at all, in
this sense, "self-made," whether they enjoy
the efaetitious aids of College diplomas or legal
training at the bar" not. That is, according
to the old fashioned democratic principle" all
men being free and equal, and subject to their
own will, must depend upon the efforts Mey make
for the attainment of honor, fame or prosperity
But the Post asserts that Mr.. Parmenter is the
only member of congress from Massachusetts,,
who was not bred iawyer;-ths of course was
written to answer particular end, for the writer
must have known it was incorrect, as he acknowl-
edges in the very next paper. Hon Abbot
Lawrence, who is infinitely superior to Parmen-
ter in every respect, as the Posts own party (the
unprecedented portion of it) will allow, was not
bred Lawyer. But suppose he bad been :

a SHORT DIALOGUE.

Question. What party it that defended
the character, and rejoiced at the victories Of
General Harrison, during the last war
.ansper. The Democratic party.
Question. Whilst the original Democrats were
sustaining the late war, and strengthening tho
hands of President Madison, what Reuel
Williams. Senator from this State, Senator Wall
Of New Jersey, Senator Buchanan of Penn.ylvs-
MIA, Senator Hubbard Of New Hampshire, Rich
ard Rush and Charles J. Ingersoll of Pennsylvs-
mia, about?
Ydnswsr. They were instigating and hiring
the mob to burn President MADISON in effigy,
lamentng over the victories of General Harrison
and the American Army, making black Cockades.
and getting up the notorious Hartford Conyen-
ton.
Question. What are the same federalists nov
doing?
.answer. They are calling General Harrison,
a coward and an old ffderalist, and shamefully
slanderng his character, they did MADisoSs
during the War.
Question. What will be the result, OF their
unrighteous prosecutions
.dasuer. They will succeed in completing
their titles to the Infamy, to which, the history
of the last war assigns them, and their names will
go down, the contempt aud adherence Of all fs
ture generations.

THE Ultra FEDERALISTS.
ARE THEY?
WHERE

He who reads the Globe and the papers gen
orally, which support the prose Admln'stra-
lion, must have observed the reckless disregard OF
truth, candor, and fair dealing, which their edl-
tors exhibit, and the vndictive maleyolence that
eharacterises their columns. Reason and argu-
ment are abandoned, and the savage weapons OF
faisehood, dennnciation, and personal abuse are
resorted TO- The characters of some OF the best
men in the country are assniled and those who
have perlled their lives and shed their blood in
IL. service, are denounced towards and
Ceramics, by those who were, at that time,
.oither "muing aud pukng in their nurse 8 arms
aiding and abetting the enemy, or singing peans
al the defeat and slaughter Of American citi-
1ens.
Hopeless indeed, must be the cause which re-
auises such means to sustain il; but driven to des
peraton by the evidence every where staring
them in the face, that the people have, at length
seen and become incensed at their extravaganza
,pfo6gacy corruption, imbecility, and hypocrisy,
the administration here, and its officehoiders and
hangers on elsewhere, have resorted to these
shameful expedients, and also to the weak and
silly one Of attempting to prejudice the minds
of the people against the advocates of Reform, by
APPLYING TO them the name ofFederalist, which
belongs to themselves. II is a desperate effort

prosperous condition. The constant and reitera-
ted cry of"Federalists," "Federa;ts," kept up
BY the Globe, the Richmoad Enquirer, the New

TUESDAY MORNING. JUNE 10.
THE CONVENTION.

As we anticipate couple of days in this weeks
publication, we may yet speak of the Great Wing
Convention, that is TO be!
From all accounts that we have been able to
gather from various sections of the State, we
think numerous multitude of the Republicans
of Maine, win be in attendance--we should not
be surprised if the gathering of the people should
be twice as great, as in 1884, when Sprague was
nominated, which we think exceeded all prece.
dent, for this State. At any rate, we shall tell
our readers all about it, next week-if nothing
happens, to prevent.

GOV. KENT'S LETTER.

We are happy to announce, that Governor
KENT, has addressed note to Mr. Severance of
the Kennebec Journal, in which he states, in sub
stance, that, although he would much rather
prefer that his name should not be used in con-
necton with the Gubernatorial nomination, STILL if
it shall appear to the convention, that the cause
of the opposition party would be benefited by
using his name, he shall not, under those circum
stances, feel himself at liberty to refuse his as
sent The note is highly satisfactory, and is in per-
feet keeping with the strictest rules of proprety,
and at the same time gives additional evidence
of the frankness, independence and moral worth
of the distinguished writer.
We make prophecy as to whether Governor
Kent will or will not be nominated. The people
are coming together to-morrow-they will do
right. We close with the remark, that he has
been weighed in the balance, and found MOTH
ING WANTING.

LOCO FoCo DEMoCRACY.-WHA IS IT9

LOCO FOCO DEMOCRACY.-WHAT Is IT'
If any person wishes to know the character of
the democracy, entertained by the dominant par
ty, we would recommend scrutinizing examina-
ton of the course which that party ad,pts towards
not only those who have always opposed them in
politics. but all, who from good and sufficient
reasons, see cause to forsake their corrupt faction
and unite with the republican party
1t is fact, which every day observation has
amply proved, that whilst man supports loco
focoism, and goes the "entre swine" for all the
measures of the administration, it matters not
what may be his character and standing, either
as private citizen or public character,-it is
the policy fhe party TO sustain ham at aha2a, Is
On the other hand if ne deserts that fparty--no
matter whether his motive be good or bad, or how
unbemished may be his character, in every re-
spect,-from that moment, he is stdoomed man -
and the blood-hounds of party are let slip upon
him. 1t is the policy of the party and he mus;
be hunted down.
There was time when the Hon. Mr. RIvrs
of Virginia, and the Hon N. P. TALLNApaE of
New York, were the idols of the loco foco party
The whole loco foco press, from the Washington
Globe down to the Lincoln Patriot, could not
eulogize them too highly. For once the ocos
were nearly right-these two distine uishcd GEN
tlemen uere indeed the flower Of the party
though of an entirely different spirit But now
that both Of these gentlemen, have deserted the
loco foco party, after having satisfied themselves,
that it was, and is in fact the tory federal loco
foco party, they have walls of wrath half severe
enough to pour upon their devoted heads.
We could enumerate many other similar in
stanccs-but we forbear Let the reader weigh
well the fruits of his own observation, and we
make no doubt, that sufficient evidence will be
accumulated, to enable him to decide in his own
mind, as to the character of loco foco democracy Y.
of whose advocates, we may we'll say
"Oh wad some power, the giftie gle them
To see themsels', as ithers see them"
