To say he was beaten by man Of straw! It's

DEMocRAr.-The ST. Louis New Era we'll re-
marks, this word has been prostituted to vile
and ignoble purposes. Wicked men have Dor
rowed the livery of Heaven TO serve the Devil
in; and Locofocos have used the word Democ.
racy to hide multitude of political sins. In
the United States for many years past the term
Democracy has been used as cover for truck,
ling subserviency to power, slavish dev otion
10 Executive influences, and support of the
monarchIcal veto power. False Democracy
has sought to exalt the Executive power to en-.
able il 10 disregard the laws, to declare war in
fact without the consent of Congress, TO induce
II 10 make most unjust use of the patronage
of government, and in every instance it i.
found In direct opposition to true Democracy
True Democracy seeks to place power in the
hands of the people, to be regulated and direct
ed according to the laws and constitution; but
false Locofoco Democracy seeks To accumulat,
power in the hands of the Executive, in the Of
flee holders, in cliques and caucrsses, and i
effectually withholds power from the people
When the New Jersey case was before Con
gress, one deposition was read, in which the
witness was asked what ticket he had voted
but he could not tell; he could not recollect tn,
names of the men he had voted for. On beins
asked if he voted the Democratic ticket, he re-
piled that he believed that the ticket he voted
did have crdt on it. Thus ignorant men arr
led away by an empty name, and demagosue:
are continually using it for such purposes
The True Democrats, that is the true friends o.
power in the people are the very men who are
opposing the "Locofoco Democrats" who dr..
held together by the cohesive power of the
spoils and who thirst for Office.

! INDIANA ALL RIGHT!-Doubts in relation to
the result OF the November election no longer
exist. From every portion of the State we
continue TO receive the most encouraging &C
counts of accession of strength TO the PEOPLES
candidate. The more character and fitness for
the station is canvassed, the more determined
are the People 10 entrust him with the highest
office within their gift. The opinion that he
will make good President is every day gain
ing ground. He is one of the people, coming
from their midst, uncon ia minated by the fes-
terlng coIruptions which have marked the po-
litical career of each of his opponents.
The nomination made by the Abolitionists
and Barnburners, at Buffalo, has not met the
response that the conspirators had fattered
themselves it would receive.
That MIR. Van Buren, may receive the votes
of considerable portion OF his old democratic
friends, we will not deny. No man, howev-
er, who ever was at heart Wing can support
the founder OF the corrupt old Regency OF New
York.
A party, like an army, has its camp follow
ers. A few OF these men, who have not been
as successful in their vocation as they desired,
may go over TO the enemy. Let them COL
Their places will be filled by host of honest
and conscientious men who have heretofore
acted with the Democratic Party.
Again, there are many conscientious Liberty
Parry men who cannot SO far violate their con-
sciences as to vote for the man who did more
in the zenith of his power against them than
any man living. They cannot forget his cast
ing vote giving the privilege to Post Masters
TO rifle their letters and burn their pa pers,
should they suspect them to contain abolition
doctrine.
They cannot forget that Martin Van Buren,
and the party controlled by him, opposed the
right of petition for the abolition of slavery i'm
the District of Columbia. They remember that
he now stands pledged to veto any bill that
Congress may pass for its abolition in thai Dis
trict. The pledge remains unretracted They
remember his course ia relation to the Amis-
tad slaves, and as honest men they cannot 90
for him.

CosT OF THE ARMY.--lt is estimated tina
every regular soldier in the service of the L.
States cost the Government more than one
thousand dollars per year, and every regular
officer much larger sum. Thus it will be
seen that the whole amount of the nett earn
inSs Of many laborers will be reouir to sus-
taip single soldier. The enormous ex penses
OF keeping up large army have 10 be paid
out OF the labor of The people. Every dollar
that is saved by the reduction of the army, and
by the curtailment of military expenses, is so
much saved TO the country. The industry OF
the country ought to be taxed as little as pos
sible DO military establishments. Aheavy ex
penditure might be judiciously saved by pre-
venting further enlistmentsl The companies
as they now stand, are amply sufficient TO per-
form all the duties that are TO be performed at
This time. 1t is entirely unnecessary that the
companies should be full, skeleton of an ar
