Democratic banner., 1849-12-17

on a great NATIONAL subject, when the purbHn
can see there is danger Of disturbance.
We feel untouched and unframed by the op
~probious epithets Of ignorance and the scandalo
~malignity. We advocate the cause of compro
mise and conciliation-the cause of the country
which warns the breast of the patriot, but woul
seek in vain to find access to the heart Of him
whose brains are constantly evaporating, lik'
ether, in fumes Of malignant rage and black
guardisn.
10 such men, it would be immaterial whs
cause we might advocate. They look upondem
ocracy as a canker to their little hopes, and cher
ish a venomous hatred of all the bearers of TN
name. Protesting regard for the whole Union
and a love for every section, they are but factioul
contemptibles, who will call us "nullifers" i
we try to conciliate the South, and in the snmt
breath denounce US as "abolitionists" should we
speak q word In appreciation Of the enterpris.
and patriotism of the North.
We know no distinction, and shall continue to
speak Of merit or demerit, wherever found, re-
|gardless Of the ungenerOus epithets Of Proteus-
like demagogues, who change the assertions Of
their tongues with the same facility that they
adopt virtue and vice, truth and mendaciiy.
Such may ridicule this attachment as . stfanci-
fi Devotion" bu: be must be grossly ignorant of
the real sentiments of the community, If he i'm
|agines that they are as destitute Of patriotism a
be is himself-fRecord.
We have heard talk Of f~ool.kilefs, and If one
should visit Louisiana soon, the Record will lose
its editor.
We deem that man . traiter to his country that
thus lightly values It, and who dares 70 laugh al
THE attachment which is so generally expressed
for its preservation, a. visionary or :toneJfl."

The old Granny gets worse. He fears . dis
solution of the Union so much, that in the midst
|of his despair, he will probably commit suicide,
and deprive the fooLkiuer of a rich job. He
places the word "fanciful" in quotation marks, to
convey the impression that we used it. If so
intended, We pronounce it a forgery. Granny,
take a corner seat and smoke that.
There are undoubtedly some Of The Calhoun
abstractionists in this county, but they have not
so boldly avowed their sentiments as this multi
fer who scribbles for the Banner.-[Record.
Impudsncs 10 bad enough, but when ignorsaes
Iis combined with II, seme men would give the
lie to assertions based upon both. Weare, how.
ever, more charitable. Rumor has reached our
ears that the poor ninny Of the Record knows
but little about the force or construction Of lam
guags, and he may have reasonably misunder-
stood our language, and even replied in a man
ner that he did not intend. Perhaps he intended
to use some word complimentary to Us, instead Of
"nullifer." Say, Granny, didn't you?
We are proud Of the great wing party. Il 10
Liberal in its feelings and sentiments and truly
national in its character. It has no sectional pre-
judices.--[Record.
Well, If there are no sectional preiudices, it
can't differ from the views Of Clingmsn and Man
gum. They are for dissolution in a~certain event,
and the wing party must be too, If there be uO
sectional feelings in it. This is the showing Of
the Record. 1t is surely a SANDER on them
Try it again, my friend.
NATHANIEL CHrLDs, Jr., Aceu1TrrD.--The
prosecution of Mr.. Childs, by the State, in . tri-
lal before the Criminal Court at st. Louis, upon
the charge Of abstracting money from the Bank
of Missouri, terminated on the 9Th inst, by a
verdict Of G~equ;ttal by the Jury, in thirty min.
|utes after they retired.
This case had engaged the Court for five con-
~seeutive weeks, and attracted much attention
throughout the country. The verdict was anti
|pated by the great mass of The readers Of the
published evidence.
The London Times contains q letter from
|Austris of the 4th inst, which says that
the Emperor of Austria has carried bis
point with the Turkish Government, des.
bite the interference of France and Eng
land; the Porte having pledged itself to
keep in safe custody, in one or more Of the
Turkish fortresses, al the refugees whose
names may bs mentioned by the Russian
and Austrian Governments, and then to i'm.
