have got their horses upon the track for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency and the
race is soon to come of, we may expect to
hear heraldsd from one extremity of the
States to the other, their charming word
"DrMocRAcY!"
That this word has a peculiar charm viii
readily be conceded; but that 1t is applied to
the right party is matter of great doubt
Foreigners, who have fed from oppression
and sought an asylum under our flag, are
naturally enough captivated by the sound,
and without for moment doubling the Prin-
cipls are led astruy by the mans. Little
thinking that by acting with and helping to
carry out the principles of the so-styled De-
mocracS, they are actually assisting, ipdi-
rectly, to support the very governments
whose tyrannical exactions forced them to
leave their native homes. Yet is never
theless so. The fact has been demonstrated
beyond the shadow Of doubt, that the loco
foco system Of Free-tradeism, is, as 1t al
ways has been, an auxiliary of Kings upon
their thrones and vampire upon the ener-
gics of the people of the United States
With facts and figures to prove the asser-
ton, which have been so repeatedly set be-
fore the American people, but which it isnot
our intention in the present article to dis
cuss but merely 10 call attention to the fact
before them, will the American people be
captivated, duzzlcd and led astray by the
tinsel of nGne, when great and vital Prin
cipls of their national existence is placed il
Jeopardy. No, never, never!
The past history of the locofoco party il
pregnant with too much corruption, the tain
ofwllich has too long contaminated the polit
ical atmosphere, too long breathed infection
and disease into the veins Of our country, Il
be endorsed by a free and enlightened peo
pie. Too long has the great natural re
sources Of our country been enervated, tn
lircs Of too many furnaces have been annihi
lated, too many precious lives lost upon ou
lakes and rivers consequent upon not free
ing them of snags and improving their har
bours, for such an impolitic policy to 60 un
f repudiated. The fact is, all the evils wit
, which our country has been cursed, in pc
litical sense, have been born in the womb {
the locofoco party. The Compromise,
measure which has done more to distract an
shake the permanency of the Union than an
other upon record, the "6nulity" Of whic
must be endorsed by every Congress an
Convention that assemblies in order to kee
quiet, peace and safety amongus, would ne'
, or have been heard of, had the Wing pres
, and the voice Of Wing Statesmen been hee'
, ed.
The corruption and perfdy of locofocos
r our Legislature last winter will not SOC
d be forgotten. The violation of our const
tuition will not 60 unrebuked.
. So, gentlemen, you can rub down yo
e horses, emphasize democracy" and "de
5 people" as you will; but the mighty tide
Indignation that will sweep you breast-work
, connot be stayed.

Mr.. Atwood was the regularly nominated
Democratic candidate until within few
days of the election, when, owing to his free
soil predictions, he was thrust aside, and
Mr.. Dinsmoor substituted in his place. 1t
not probable, therefore, that Mr.. A. receiv-
ed the support of many Wings; indeed, it is
rendered certain that he did not receive their
support, from the fact that on this occasion
Mr.. Sawyers vote was nearly the same in
amount as the Whig candidate for Governor
had received at the several annual elections
immedia ely preceding that of 1861.
Now, in contrast with the above vote, we
insert from our own columns OF the 3lst
March, 1851. the returns OF the vote on the

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-We learn
from Missouri paper, the Savannah Senti-
tinel, the following painful story.
A gentleman passed through this place
the other day in search of his wife and her
paranlour, who had started across the plains
few daysin advance. .,t -.,
1t appears that the parties are citizens Of
st. Louis, and during the husbands protract-
ed absence in California, friend had sue.
ceeded, by intercepting letters and forging
others, in inducing the wife to believe that
he had never intended toreturn. A thou
sand dollars which he had sent to his wife had
also been intercepted, and letter forged,
informing her ofhis desertion and marriage
in California.
While under the frenzied sense ofthis con-
viction, the most hellish arts were applied,
and she was induced, in rash moment, to
throw herself into the arms of the seducer,
and accompany him to California. The feel
ings Of the unhappy husband, on his return
to his desolate home but few weeks after
his wife, for whom he successfully toiled for
many years, had departed forever, with a.
mother, and that other his "faithful friend"
may, perhaps, be imagined, but cannot be
described.
We are glad to learn that the trail of tho
fugtives has been discovered, and we trust
this heartless destroyer ofdomestic happiness
may receive ccndign punishment.
