pirate language) ''thc scum, the oti.scourings, the
riti-ratf and the refuse of the Democracy" They
were few and weak, and therefore not deemed
entitled TO much respect. But after acquiring some
notoriety by breaking open flour stores, and Civ
ing proof that they held the balance of power in the
city oi New York. the silk-stocking Democracy
treated them with all possible respect and considc.
ration and even went TO the length of assuming
their name, and adopting their principles.
The rise of this faction is not without a lesson of
instruction. Very small in its beginning, and put
under the ban rs holding .'doctrincs utterly abhor-
rent of all principles of disqualification, of morality
and of the good order of society" it has succeed
ed in converting those, who thus denounced ii,
and made It's principles thus abhorrcd) the leading
principles of the great party of which then it con-
stituted a mere minute particle. 1t succeeded by
means which, unfortunately for the well-bcing of
man, too often operate to produce similar results.
It's members were ultra, violent and uncompromis-
ing. They appealed to the worst passions, and
made converts from those who never had ANYTHING.
or who, like Catalina, had squandered all they had
in sufficient numbers 10 make them of great
consequence in n closely-contcStcd political strug.
gle. Yielding nothing thcmselves-thc Democra-
cy, who wanted their votes, yielded every thing to
them. Their names and their principles were
adopted in consideration other most sweet voices,
and the Democracy came forth in new habilimcnts.
This is only a prelude TO what is TO follow, and
what has long been predicted must he the inevi-
table tendency of the Democratic Party. Only
n portion of the Locofoco doctrines have Vet been
made the test of orthodoxy; others are in reserve,
such as the distribution of property and the alb
rogation of law-which will be brought forward
at no distant day and tho Democracy will be-
compelled 10 embrace them, as they did the others:
and these last extremes OF radicalism and agrari-
anism will become the cardinal doctrines Of the
Pure Democracy.

A Pure Democratic Communitv.

The Macon (Georgia) Telegraph, a Democratic organ,
speaks Of the people Of Irwin county in that State, as "a
Pure Democratic Community, I" there Jeing mot a Larger
or Doctor IN the County, and a great difficulty existing to
get any one to accept the Office of Constable, Sheriff or Jus.
tce OF the Peace"
The Telegraph concludes the article in question, by say.
ing 'that all this is to be accounted for by the fact that there
is scarcely half a dozen Wing voters in the county"
When we call to mind the fact that the aforesaid county
OF Irwin is one of the largest counties in Georgia and that
nearly It's entire population is made up Of Democrats we
cannot sufficiently admire the character of the gallant
Wings OF that State, whose reverence for Law and Justice
prevents them from moving into the infected district. The
truth is that the Wings are 4 law loving people and the won.
der Is that even one of the fraternity should be found among
so lawless a community as the Irwinites ure reported to be by
their organ, the Telegraph.-DanuiIe Reporter.
