scribers, generally, by giving place in
your columns, to the accompanying ex-
tract from an address ofthc Elk Governor

to inquire which Of the two prominent
political parties is best entitled TO the
cognomen of Democracy" we cheerful
ly comply with your request, by giving
place to the extract. Our columns have
ever been open to the Wings, and We
have always been as ready and as will
ing to publish communications from our
Wing as from our Democratic cores
~pondents. Here follows the extract
