PINE LAWN, Amelia, Sept. 90 lS43.
Mr.. EDrroR-I amagine that while you not TO
the dssentons in the Democratic ranks but would prefer
them present firm and united front, so that IN con-
queng, there would more honour attach still, You must
be highly amused their scrocomco evouions, and Mt
the difference Of their uniform. The right wing, consitu-
ting the New England States, parts OF New York and Penn
syvanin,' Tariff coourcd uniform; the centre dvi
sion-Nirginia, n. = Carolina and adjacent States,
anti Tariff the left wing-Lousana and others, uni
of the two the Tariff part of their dress being
Toured, the an-TaTi resembling that ot Virginia. &c,
while the ranks-Tcnnessec, Kentucky and others,
made of motley asSembage of every hue and shade
Bank Bank Tariff aud anti Tariff. Why, Sir, neither
the chameleon hGabdHgs varied hues
coding circumstance OF light and shade than does this
piebald multitude with regard TO latitude and longitude.
"A miscellaneous rabblc, who extol
Things vulgar, and, well weighed, scarce worth the
praise.
They praise and they admire they know not what,
And know not whom, but leads the other;
And what delight TO be by such extoled,
To live upon their tongues and be their talk
OF whom TO be dispraiscd were no small praise"

miscellaneous but what truly discouragng

turn and bite themselves for every such infection deiacts
from the honour of conquest them.
IL is strkngy remarkable, that who profess to love
and be governed by principle alone, should der much
about do the Locoiocos present. concerning HIM
who shall be their candidate Presidency. We
have been taught TO believe that in relation to the unan
nifty of their sentiments, "he voice of one, the
voice of al-was echoed by the whole. When tested by
practical Lesson, what different aspect their unison
wears But must TO be surprised when
fleet that this is the party having always poessod thing
the good OF their country and having always acted another
contrary TO that cOun's welfare. Ii has been said by
some, that the Wings, when speaking OF the Vaccinations
OF the wirepuers OF the Democratic Pnry-ot the selfish
ard dictatoral designs OF the "Rchmond Juno Albany
Regency" &c. that they endcavorng TO gain adhe
rents by playing upon the passions OF the people; knowing
