"THE MYSTERIES OF PARISH

10 the prospectus, IN another column, of a
publication entitled, "The Mysteries oil
Paris" which is shortly to issue from the
New World Office. When its publication
commenced in Paris it created remarka.

Let all those democrats, to delude whom
into the support of the wing ticket, an at.
tempt has been made, reco!lect that the
wings refused to separate the questions of
state and national policy. They use the
bond question for the purpose Of separa.
ting The democrats. They expect to alarm
and delude some of the party by an inces-
SAINT and inlerminabe clamor about "repu
diation." They mean not the same thing
by this word that you do. This is the
"raw'head.and bloody. bones with which
they expect to Brighten you "lrom your
proPriety." will they succeed otis
the eye Of childhood, fears painted devil"
The democratic Party inlrnsically own as
homes, impulses, and us honorable feelings,
as the most cllmorous calumniator of its
integrity in the land. Oar enemies may
desire the death of reputation, but they
wish to bury democracy in the same
grave.

Mississippi Creole in ls4l. ia number
of articles laborod to prove the unconstitu.
tionaity Of the supplemental charter. We
mention these two facts to show that men
may honestly entertain this opinion, and
when there is an exhibition of violent and
unseemly language, it is not intended to
affect this mere abstraction, but either GER
tain individuals or principles other than
those having any connection with the I'm
ion Bank bonds.
Ia conclusion we would say to Madison,
that he has igaorantly intermedded in
what could not in The slightest degree have
Injured the interest of that for which he
appears SO soIicitous. He of course is far
more interested, from feeling and former
associations. in furthering the advance
ment of more ancient and cherished prin-
ciples, than the success Of any scheme
which this recent and newborn zeal forthc
payment Of the Union Bank bonds might
seem 10 have exclusively in view. A man
has but little difficulty in enlisling his in.
tellect on the side ofhis feelings, and not a
lew have deceived themselves into the be-
Lief that they entertain most religious
anxiety for the payment Of the bonds, and
would feel indignant at contrary suppo-
sition, when if their thoughts were subject
ed TO rigid self.examination, far other
motives would be found at the bottom of
their solicitude. We presume that the
number is very small, of those who enteT-
tain a decided hostility to the mere fact Of
the payment ofthe bonds. But few would
dislike to see them paid. Many of those
who are thrown into position seemingly
hostile to that object, would contribute as
as freely to the accomplishment Of that
purpose, as the most claWorous Wing in
the State, but they do not wish to reach
that consummation over the ruins Of what
they consider the permanent interests Of
the people OF the United States.
As some confirmation of what we have
said about tho language of his wing friends,
we would call the attention of Madison 10
little article in the last Jat kson Southron
under the caption Of "county officers. y
We do not there see his beautifully puri.
tanic distinction between hatred of the sin
and love for the sinner Madison would
probably say that that paper was no organ
of The party; that may be the case, but a.
II is said: "straws show which way the
wind blows" it may afford some indication
of what is the tone and feeling u his party,
and specimen ofits language.

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

Our friends, the Wings have triumphet
exceedingly over the last elections bu, i
was only because they were not defeated
so badly as usual. They gained Georgia
by majority of little over 5000 votes
on account of the division between the
friends of Mr.. Calhoun and Mr.. Van Blu.
rem. They have carried the legislature in
Maryland, but reference to the popular
vote shows that it is on the side of the
democrats. In Pennsylvania the demo.
Gratis have both houses of the Legislature,
and as appears by the election of canal
commissioners, popular majority Of from
10 to 10 thousand. Two members Of con.
gress were lost, but it was in consequence
of too many democrats running. In one
OF the districts there was clear majority
Of 1900, in the other the candidates for
State offices were elected by majority
OF 400. In Ohio, the democrats have O..
lected 10 members of Congress and the
wbigs9. In the last Congress the wings
had IL and the democrats 4. Ia the last
legislature the democrats had two majori-
ty in The Senate, and two in the house;
nov they have A majority in the senate,
and the wings in the house, making lie
on joint ballot. In New Jersey we have
elected 4 Of the members OF Congress,
defeated the regularly nominated wing
in the fifth district, and carried
both houses Of the legislature. In the
territories of Iowa and Wisconsin, the
Democrats have sue, eeded by large ma.
jorites. Taking the last elections as q
correct estimate Of the State Of parties
the Unioh and The democrats
will elect their president without any diff.
Guilty. The Wings have no longer the
watchword of "hard times" to
rally the deluded. A metallic currency
appears 10 work well, the business of the
country has assumed heallhful lone, and
and from present appearances it would
seem we are doing very we'll without ma
tional bank. All we want now is tariff
on strict revenue principles, TO-
tally renouncing the unjust, delusve and
UBIQUITOUS system Of protection. Unless
we are exceedingly mistaken, on next
Monday and Tuesday, Mississippi will
range herself along side of those States
which have proclaimed free trade princi-
pies.

Yes! even that exalted patriot, and philo.

we can easily see, and have always
been aware Of the distinction between
doctrine and its professors, but in this in
stance 1t is an evasion of the point to make
1t. All this denunciation of what they
cali reputation, is in our view much less
dIre' ted towards the doctrine itself than
against individuals. If we understand it
right, that reputation about which so much
clamor is kept, means nothing more than
a belief in The nconstitutionality of the
supplemental charter of the Union Bank
We keep out of view now the bona fide
reputation of the "out. and cutters" as not
being Of consequence enough t. be dam
gerous to any State. We mean now, that
doctrine which opposes The payment of the
Union Bank bonds in the manner pointed
out by the wings, which they call repulia.
ton but which The democrats call anti
b 'ndism. 1t means, we say, nothing more
than belief in the unconstitutionaity Of
the supplemental charter. Now we say
that this belief, il seriously entertained is
no, properly a subject of denuncia,ion.--

candidates on the congressional bond.pay.
