WHY THEY ARE BOND PAYERS.

Our whig friends appear extremely anx.
ious that the state bonds should he paid
yet strange TO say they are in the habit oil
besiowing Communications upon the ultra
regulators who refuse to pay the Planters
Bank bonds, and who, in truth, are unwil.
ling to recognise any public debt. Why
Is thiss If TO repud.ate the Union Bank
bonds, or to deny that the state ever did
own them, is infamous, TO rcpudiae the
Planters Bank bonds, is ten times more so.
The truth is, The greater part Of them care
nothing about the paymen, Of the bonds,
they only wish 10 use that question to de-
feat the democratic party. They were
anxious that the whole democratic party
should take the ground of ultra repudia-
tion-should have taken the course of
what are termed the out-and.outers and
sublerraneans. In that case they thought
that the democrats wou'd be deprived o.
sympathy from Without and overwhelmed
BY the moral power ofpubIic opinion from
the surrounding states. The mass of the
wing party can certainly lay no greater
claims TO honesty, than the democratic; =
they are constituted of tho same materials,
and between the masses of the two parties
there rs no doubt a similarity of feeling.
But il is our sincere belief. that those noisy
leaders who keep up such cIamor about
The payment of the bonds, are acluated by
40 honest or moral feeling. They, in fact,
wish the bonds Observation-Disclosures bank
nd Union-but they wish not the respon-
ibility of the act. To them may be ap-
lied the saying Of the "llst of the ROM

Caesar: "here comes his body, :nourned
hy Mark Ant6ony, who, though he had no
hand in his death, shall yet reap the benefit
Of his dying" Hence their disapPoint-
ment and complaints, That the democratic
party-the known majority Of the state
have not proclaimed universal re 'udia'ion.
This accounts for their approyals of the
''subterraneans" whom they compliment as
the only consistent regulators. They are
anxious for the benefit of the act, but wish
10 avoid all The odium of the responsible
~. AT the last convention of the wings,
one of their number-the noblest Of them
all--proposed a course which offered a
fair opportunity for the triumph of the
bond payers; the sub-leaders and subal.
terms rejected it with trepidatlon, tremb
ling and Indignation. 1t had suggested
itself to some Of the most sage and calcu'
lating of the conclaye, that if they sue
ceeded upon their old national politics
some of Them would have a chance fol
offi;e, if they were defeated they wou!c
not have the bonds TO pay; and this lofty
vantage ground they resolved to main

THEOUT AND CUTTERS.

We have lately seen a proposition from
an out and.out repudiator OF some no'o-
riely, that that clique should start tickle,
of their own, which should take the
ground that both the Planters and Union
Bank bonds SHOULD be repudiated. We
would be very glad TO see them do this
They are now dead weight upon the
democratic party; and they would rum any
party under Heaven. BY bringing out
ticket of their own they would more effec-
tualy play into the hands oftheir friends the
wings, who seem to have such wonderful
sympathy TOR them. 1.-THE would nominate
ticket, and further divide tho democratic
party, so as to enable the wings TO carry
The elections, they might ny the arrival OF
lire next contest, be received into wing
favor. Bat it is certain that their detection
cannot injure the democratic party; on
the contrary, that circumstance would
serve to unite the democrats. This faction
of "out. and outers," is the most turbulent,
reckless and unprincipled, that ever nffiic-
ted any party with its u!traisms. The
democracy, now called The harmonious"
on the lucus non lucendo" principle,
will never he at peace and united while
they are in the ranks. Their principles
are essentially destructive, and they wish
10 exercise the most despotic control over
the party, by means of menaces and de-
nunciation. They are just such as would
have rallied amongst the wing mots IN
1910, and shouted for universal change.
We advise them by all means TO bring out
ticket, and know the wings would sustain
them sooner than they would the regular
nominees of The democratic party. If
they have a sincere regard for the old dem.
ocratic party, let them leave it, or leave
their present principles.

THE ELECTIONS.

The democracy have reason to con.
graduate themselves upon the success of
their cause and the spread Of their princi.
pes. Since the disastrous campaign Of
1910, almost every contest has terminated
in their favor. In the present year, Lou.
isiana has, by a triumphant majority, rank,
ed herself with the rest of the SOUTH
The returns which are now coming in from
those states which have recently holden
elections, are of the most cheering char.
acter. No where have we lost ground ex.
cept in Tennessee. In that state our de,
feat was no doubt principe lily owing to the
conduct of the democratic majority in The
senate Of the last legislature. They re.
fused to 60 into an election for United
States Senators, course decidedly revo.
lutionary and disorganizing. 1t was cons
duct which no party could bear up under.
So far as The thirteen were concerned they

misguided policy, was fixed upon the par.
ty, which was broken down under its
crushing weight. Conduct of similar
character ruined the wings in Ohio, and
will ruin them in Maryland 1t is cheer
ing TO the friends of correct principles,
that conduct Of this character is always
met with such prompt and decided public
disapprobation. We hope our Tennessee
friends will never again place themselves
in false position. Even they who have
meriiorious end in view, should be wary
about using ilfgiiimate means for its az.
lainmcni; for in The end it will recol up.
on themselves. Where are now the bril-.
liant hopes of the splendid wing triumph
of ls4O2 "Gone, gimmering though
the vetoes of John Tyler. If they had.
selected for their candidate an out and OH.
bank man, and elected him, they might
have arrived at the contamination of all
their wishes; but they chose to rely upon
management, humbug, and deception, and
they met with the fate of those "who sow
the wind" And so it was with our friends
in Tennessee; they refused to go into an
election because wing senators would have
been chosen: mark the end! Wing sena.
tors will be- chosen, the very thing they
wished 10 avoid, and besides the state has
been lost by a majority of 1000. The
only correct course is to trust TO the true,
and the right; 10 rely upon correct princi:
pies, and victory, in the end, will be just
as sure as "lru'h is omnipotent, and public
Justice certain"

and which for awhile, cast an ominous
cloud over the sun of rcpublicanism, i'm
pairing the confidence of political philoso-
piers, in the capablity Of man for selfgo-
vernment. The result is matter of history
Martin Van Buren-whose administration,
according TO our mind, had been in accord
ance with the principles of the consli'u-
ton, and in furtherance OF the cause OF
human rights, -was Frustrated by the al
lied powers; but no sooner was the battle
won, than the auxilliarics were treated us

the country had decided in favor of ma.
tionaI bank, and by implication, in favor Of
all the measures of federalism.
But deception is ever destined to find re
buke; the President whom they had ele-
waited at such sacrifices, was never to work
out their will.
"They put barren scep're in his grippe,
Thence to be wrenclipd, by an unlneal
hand"
The incongruous mass Of jarring elements
were soon broken into ga number of diyi-
ded, contending and petty factions. Let
not the democratic party be whcedled
into again dividing amongst themselves
If a man deceives us cnce, it is his fault,
if twice, il is our own. The wings ex.

cos" We claim to ranka mong;t the adyo-
Gates of free trade, we therefore have a
right and feel some curiosity to know the
"force" of the remark. We do not mean
to appropriate it particularly 10 ourself, as
we are inviting Of having been guilty of
any "fase representations" But as we
are always willing to make corrections,
when truh and Justice require ii, we should
like to be set right as to any mls.epresen-
to ions we may have unconsciously made
Does the Creole mean to say that the
friends of free trade deny that there were
any tariffs during the years mentioned?
If so, the editor was fortunate in finding
the above mentioned valuaI lie taLle which
he could pnblish to the world, and effect

the free trade loco focos." We think
though, that in matter of svch import.

in tie table. We admit it t. The full extent.
and have always complained ,haE we had
too much tarltf--ihpt, during n greater
part ofth time, we had tariffs for pro'ec-

of The Creole, the inference we have ma e
is legitimate; but we will not pretend ,c
say that such is its meaning. That, we
leave the editor TO say himself for we have
no sort of notion what i, is; but he will
pardon US for conjecturing that he had nc
particular meaning of any kind; tina, he
intended mer ly to build up little para.
