Another Specimen of Democratic Harmony.
In our last we included the Montgomery
(Ala.) .4duertiser in the category of Secession
ist journals which are now re-uDltlng them
selves with the Democratic party. The I'D
verliser of the Sd instant, since come to hand,
amusingly illustrates the progress of affairs in
the happy family. In one column it treats its
readers to an essay on "the union and harmony
of the Democratic party" filled with rejoicing
al the harmonious prospects of the party IN Al
ALBANIA while an adjoining column, under the
title " which is which % deals out full guam
tum of sarcasm against the Union and the
Republic taking our recent controversies with
our neighbor as the text, and holding both up
to the eyes of the Alabama Democracy as
equally bad! A very pretty compliment that,
TO the Union, after all its labors, and very
significant indication of the .4doertiser's no
tions about Democratic harmony!
The Secessionist journal is particularly de-
slrous of correcting our neighbours views with
regard to the character of the elections in
GEORGIA and MISSISSIPPI. 1t "would whisper
in the ear of the Union" that in the late, ''con-
tests in Mississippi and Georgia, most ertrarG-
giant eulogiss pere passed upon Mr.. FILLMORE
and his administration, By both COBB and
FooTE, IN every speech ,chich they made"
Yet the Union, while extolling both gentle
men, and clarifying their position, neglects no
opportunity of censuring the Administration,
which both admire.
In the now editorial part Of the same paper
we find an article which will, no doubt, CRATE
considerably in the ears of the partisans who
have been cozened into the belief that great
Democratic victory was achieved in GEORGIA.
Referring to one Of the resolutions adopted
lately at Tammany Hail. the writer remarks
THE resolution hailing the election in Georgia
as Democratic victory, reads absurdly down
here, where everybody knows that it went off on
the issue adroitly rnised by the Constitutional
Union party Of Union and Disunion. No issues
"a between Federalism and Democracy, were
passed upon. II the classification of the leaders
and voters is TO determine it, to old party lines
then 1t WIS a Wing victory, SINCE nearly all III,
leading Wings aud nearly all the Whig party
.osre for Cobb, and nearly all the Democrats for
Mcdonald.
at would be quite funny to behold Senator Daw-
son, MIR. Toonbs, Mr.. Stephens, Governor Craw.
ford, Mr. Miller and Mr. Jenkins, all Constitu-
tionnl Union Cobb men, haranguing their ancient
foes, the UNTERRIFiED Democracy at old Tam
many. and telling them Of the glorious Democratic
victory they had helped TO achieve. Whatsympa
thy they have ever had, or now have, with th'
Democracy, it would be difficult TO understand.
"Inasmuch as Mr. Cobb is Democrat, his cleo
r.. Al. III
Democratic victory. 1t hath this extent n
more"
Such statement Oh such subject, from
Southern Democratic print, stands in strang
contrast to the bright imaginings of Tamman.
Hall orators, and tho maynard self-deusion 0
the Union.
