WEDNE SDAY MORNING, MAY 81.

TRUTH LEAKING OUT.-The editor of the
VandeFburgh Democrat succeeded in his paper
of Saturday last, In proving to his own salts
faction, and, no doubt, TO the satisfaction Of
the public, that the party with which he fra
ternizes is no better than they should be-that
''fory is synonymous with Robber and Muir
derer." We have had our own opinion about
this matter for some time, but we prefer al
ways that our opponents should draw their
own hkenesses; they can paint nearer to life
than Wings. According TO the Democrat, the
party who have all along succeeded sin de-
priving and defrauding the people of their just
rights, and monopolizing them for their own
benefit is the "Tory party" So We think;
but we can hardly believe the locofoco lead
ers and aspirants hereabouts will thank the
editor for exposing their corruption just at this
time, when they are busy in making their Sc
lection of leaders for the approaching campaign.
Every one knows without being told by the
Democrat that the lacofoco party has been in
power for the last twenty years or more, but
few were prepared for his admission that du
ring all that time the leaders have succeeded
in "depriving and defrauding" the masses of
their ''just rights" 1t is true in our paper of
Saturday morning we did publish list of ''pri
yileges" in the shape OF mint drops "monopo-
LIKED" by thirty "Pories"- Robbers"
If that term suits the Democrat better-mem-
bers of the locofoco convention which nomina-
ted MIR. Polk, amounting to the very respecta-
bic sum of sir hundred and nincty-sir thou
sand, fire hundred Gpd siTty-eight dollars and
JJty-Sir cents, or nearly nineteen thousand dol
Jars head. A pretty round price for locofoco
skulls it must be admitted, and rather more
than the editor of the Democrat thinks they
are worth, no doubt; hence his cry against the
Robbers. Fearing the list we published
on Saturday-which, no doubt, caused the great
outcry of the Democrat--may have been over
looked by some, we here append it, and re-
quest that 1t be remembered that the list con-
tains the names of only thirty seuen out of two
hundred and seventy five delegates who at
tended the convention and nominated Mr.
Polk. The others doubt provided for,
and the aggregate could be swelled to millions
that are enjoyed by MIR. Polk;

With this list starring the editor of the Dem
ocrat in the face, it is not surprising to see him
come down fat,footed upon the Robbers" o.
the Treasury. To acknowledge the truth We
have been for some time expecting "aid" from
that quarter in exposing the corruptions of the
Tory party. AS none know better than the
locofocos themselves the many ways their lead-
ers have of "deirauding the people of their just
rights and privileges" go none more capa
Die of exposing them; and we rejoice that in
the coming contest we are to have the aid oil

Another table which has just met our eye
and which, no doubt, the Democrat has pasted
in his scrap book-taken from an official re-
port of the Adjutant General, will satisfy the
-..,der vhy, according TO the Democrat, loco

sag things by halves. If the leaders OF the 10
