1.-THE FOUNDATION OF DEMOCRACY is AS
SOUND, AND AS STRONG AS EVER"


Lave been going the rounds of the Federal presses of
Ohio, and no doubt caused mitch rejoicing among The
dry bones of WhgerY every where. And for this rea.
son. They hope create division in the democratic
ranks Aasl Poor Whiggery! That party has been
cut up and hacked to pieces. by dssensiuns, fights
and quarrs aud pulling of hair and backing ofeyes
that the leaders ejoce they lay manned and crippled
on their backs, even to difference of opinion
Of teo from the maj ri Of the Democratic par
~, and that difference solitary question. But let
tbom reoice A few short months will convince
them that they have found mares that the loun
daon of democracy is sound and strong as ever
that the rock which standard is planted, can
never be shaken. neither by few dissatisfied aspants
nor tho willy efforts orFederalism.
But in spirit ofphianthrophy we tell the federal
lists they had better try and heal up their running
sOrcs for, before they spread conIagion into the
republican ranks death will have put an end 10 their
own suferings.

A SOME WAT MYSTERIOUS DEVELOPMENTS
The following was sent to this office in absence,
for inseron but from its supposed doubtful character
and indefinite allusions delayed until return.
That it has thrown the wings into extacies there is no
doubt The Journal hints that the oljs;t was to throw
the power of the State into the hands Of that party

On "Sam Medary," very noble and elevaed idea iru-
~. One Wing says it is full 5luoded offset to The
Connecticut eeclionsl and another that it may he

ready to bow and scrape 10 any who declares that

The democrats are, as far as we know, very ndig-
nant at what they, at first sight believed to be an act
Of treachery TO the reeecon\of Gov Corwin.
But it need not he supposed that those whose

Federal rag -ocraay. Gen. Loudon, Cen Dial and
William II. Baldwin, who candidates in the Cler-

Gratis the state boast they would sooner be
carried to their graocs than into the tedTalrGnk They
would sooner l"ok upon nothing better than gold and
silver a currency than lend their aid to the Bddle
school of fnancers who have LEFT nothing but ruin,
corruption, and disgrace in their train; and doubt
not others whose names appear IN these proceedings,
are equally removed from the bank ridden influence of
whisgery.
We shall in our next publish two or three articles
from Iapers Of both parties, TO show what is thought
of this move, which we think has already acquired
more notorety than it deserves. The resolutions
wholly indefinite, and will suit ohe thing about well

tiles that have sadly exploded by oVef use for the
last few years, that they really deserve but little aen-
