J. G.. BENNETT, ESQ. =
The democracy OF old Bucks is certainly COM
posed Of most curious, wild and exctable elements.
Ever since. the result of the Presidential election
has been known, we have had nothing but re-
joicings and jubees of every description. They
have been so long subject to the taunts Of their
sanguine wing friends, who deemed the election
Of Harry Of the West" beyond all doubt or cavll,
that the actual result, in the success of Mr. Polk,
has given them new HE, vigor and gaety.
1t IS now proposed that there be a grand stimuli
taneous celebration throughout the county, in
commemoration Of the late glorious victory OF the
democracy, TO take place on the 9Th OF January
next, the anniversary OF the battle OF New Or.
leans The different townships will make al
necessary arrangements among themselves, and
either by pubic meetings and speechliying, or az
their private dwellings, will the democrats OF old
Bucks suffer little oil their superabundant enthu.

from participation in the general festival, Many
county capons," (dished up as only Bucks county
matron can dish up) will be demolished upon the
Joyous occasion The rich and poor will rejoice
alike, tor every true democrat will keep open

most proper way Of celebrating victory, and al
though the expense will not be an lota OF what II
costs to get up one OF your gorgeous New fork
professions, lis effects will be tar more lasting and
beneficial
The wing party here, with Ben Thompson at
their head, and Jim Bryan at their tail, are In
state OF perfect despair from chagrin and disap-
pointment. They reckoned SO sanguinely upon the
al enftn Mt Law hat p
ments which might have been turned TO account
were neglected. Although, on the main, it may be
said they fought the battle maniuly, still they COM
mItted some things which they had better have LETT
undone. However, as the bartle is over. they had
better bury forever "ihat same old coon, and with
il all their silly and rancorous hostility TO the i'd
locofocos" On the other hand, the democrats,
with Tom Ross at their head, and tag, rag and bob
tail at the other extremity, are all in great gee.
BY the by, understand the democrats intend send
ing Mr.. Ross 10 the U. 5. Senate, a station which
his eminent talents and devotion TO the cause Of
democracy, entltle HIM to receive; and In which,
have no doubt, he will do honor to himself and
the Keystone State Some OF the democrats have
won heavily upon the election, the greater part OF
which will be freely used IN the approaching cele-
braton.
The democrats had very respectable Jubilee"
at Brownsburs last week Several OF the most
popular speakers IN the party were on hand, and
the utmost good feeling and harmony prevailed
