Demotracy-The Union.
On several occasions we have alluded 10 ihe
fact, that certain Democratic papers in this State.
which have been labOring with some zeal 10 get
up state Of frenzy in the public mind like that
in South Carolina 1--WE allude particularly 20 the
Standard and the Democrat.) constantly speak Of
the friends Of The compromise measures Of the
last Congress as sdhmissionisis." The term
itself seems TO be very odious in their estimation
and when they have occasion 10 use Il, (Which
j. ofcn,) you can almost fancy that you see in
the ediioIs something If that look Of defiance and
triumph which the lad put on. who. when badly
whipped said 10 bis antagonist, " II ! can't whip
you, can make mouths at your sistcr!' But
they deceive themselves. Neither their cnnior-
tons Of face nor their hard names win fighien
the people into their wild notions. The people
love The Union, aud will not consider il a re-
proach to submit even to some unpalalable laws
Tor the sake Of preserving il. We have proof Of
this before US, in the resolutions adopted by tho
! Democratic Convention in the OH Congressional
District, which arc published in the Standard.
The first resolution is as follows:
! Resolced. That we regard the cad
justment" measures adopted BY Con-
gress on the subject Of slavery as involy-
ing nothing but concessions on the part
of the South, without adequate return
By the North that the South lost eve-
~ thing and gained nothing by said
measures but that, as they have be-
come a part Of the law of the land, we
would submit to them rather than see
this Union dissolved, provided they are
all faithfully aud rigidly executed.

State Ronds.-We understand that
the bids for the $4,000 worth of State
Bonds, recently advertised by the Pub
lie Treasurer, were opened on Monday
last, the 2lst instant, by Mr.. Courts, in
presence of the Secretary of State and
Comptroller, and a record made OF
them.
| We learn further that most of the
bonds went of at about one per cent.
and small amount commanded as high
as five per cent. Bids to the amount
Of more than 100000 were offered,
and all by citizens of the State.
The Treasurer has addressed letters
to all whose bids have been accepted.
and will preserve record of the whole
proceedings, together with the original
bids, for the inspection Of the Commit
tee OF Finance.
This is gratifying exhibition of the
States credit. We believe this is the
first time that premium has been OBJ
tanned on our State Bonds. Standard.
