PROCLAMATION OF last ADr1l, that "thc young
and inconsiderate were especially in
danger Of beng seduced, into the schemes
of the Cuban Adventures, and the accu-
racy with which the suggestion was veri-
fiedby the result, have inspired certain wire
workers, hereabouts, with very lively dis
position. TO make similar attempt forthc
behoof Of that boundless system Of flliJus-
teyisns, yeclpet Democracy. All the arts
and no little Of the deception, we dare say,
which contributed to that so criminal an
undertaking and that so sad denouemcaf,
are put in practice, to inveigle ''the young
and inconsiderate," into the bucaneering
bands Of progressive Locofocoism. What
statements of imaginary truth, what pro-
misses never to be redeemed, what rewards
not TO be paid, what varied means of ca
jolery, misrepresentation and personal APP
pliance are tried, wherewithal, to seduce
and decoy theinexperienced and unsuspect-
ing, into the devious, downward ways of
| Democracy, we would not, if we could,
shock the moral nerves of our readers, by
narranng. Dc they declare their party to
be safest and soundest, as concerns the
great interests Of slavery-they are pre-
pared to prove 1t, by concealing the wan
ton coalitions, they have formed in Massa-
chusetts, Ohio and elsewhere, with the
vile faction, whose only object is the over
throw ofihe institution ITSELF De they assert
that the Democratic party is national in its
organization and objects-they are very
sure to withhold the fact, that upon eeery
| political issue that has been or can be made.
they separate themselves into fragmenst,to
suit the peculiar wants or prejudices of
particular localities: they forget TO remem
Der, that in Pennsylvania the Tariff is a De-
mocratic measure, while in South Carolina
It is an abomination, the intensity of hatred
towards which is the best gauge Of De
mocracy; that in Michigan internal in
provcnents by the General Govern
ment is a test of true faith, while in
Arkansas it is denounced as heresy; that
IN Virginia Secessionism is pure Democra-
cy, but in Tennessee it is treason; that in
Pennsylvania determination to enforce
the Fugitive Slave law is the test Of sound
nashville in Ohio it is lhetest Of unsound-
ness, that in Kentucky the preservation of
the union is the highest hope of the party,
while in South Carolina, the destruction of
the union is its chiefam. They are mortal
sure to have no know ledge ola fact, obvi-
GUS to all reading and observing men
that the party have no settled principles,
but,that every where they spread their sails
to catch the popular breeze, and that De-
mocracy, is but catch-word, under which
all these incongruous factions, are gather
cd, shall we say as one of them has said,
"by the cohesive power, Of public plum
DER whenever national contest is to
be entered into. Think of these things
young men, and beware Of Democracy, its
declarations, and its doings. Ifthey insin-
uate that they have been most instrument
tal IN enlarging the political power Of
the people, ask them for the evidence oft,
and why they have been so slow about it,
when they have ruled the State for so
long period. Should they charge Mr..
Summers wi,h entertaining dangerous
views, on the subject Of slavery-enqure
Of them, if high minded and honorable
Nirglnian, who owns large number Of
slaves, whose father before him was a
STAKEHOLDER, be not as trustworthy as one
OF those Yankees, whom they abuse so
heartily, when it suits them, and run for
the Office of Governor, when it suits them.
Should they point you to the resolutions of
$50 as the Koran Of their faith, ask
them ifyou must adopt that filth, as OK
planned aud interpreted by lis great au-
thor, in lis letter to Mr.. Everett Should
they coax you, resist them should they
Aatter you, suspect them-should they
threaten you, defy them. Look deliberate,
y, and thoughtfully, into the principles,
acton, and motives Of the two parties
study the true nature and theory Of our
glorious form Of government, and act as
independent and intelligent men, If the
calm convictions Of your Judgment lead
YOU to an association with the Democrat
ic party, unite with ,hem-if they bring
you to belief, that the Wing party more
correctly understand, and more faithfully
adhere to the great designs Of the found
ers Of our system, unite with them-but
in Heavens name, be not led away by the
clamor, or the coaxing of men, who in
snlt you by any and every attempt to in
huence you by such means.
