But Mr. D. forgot his friends PROMISE ana mentioned never

Here followed many assertions relative TO the Demo-
cratic party their origin, &C., too contemplate to notice
"There was no Of the Presidents, from Jefferson TO

Government, and all Of them sanction laws embracing
more general appropriations than the bill reoed by Nh Polk
The appropriations the Cumberland Road were cited as
proof And Baltimore, large cIty-prospeous and
hauoy-from being mere dcposs of that road would never
have been beyond country town., had il not been
for The appropriation by the General Government" Well,
this may be true but every bodys impression always has
been that Baltimore possessed natural and local nd.

"W.n fNhigs) said Mr. Davis of the Jefferson, Madi
son and Monroe school, the subject OF Internal Improve
nents" No doubt Mr. D. would go for carrying on such
roads as the Cumberland but whether Richmond wings
would or could support that measure Is another ques-
| ton.
The p1e,en, Democratic party was described "a
of the Jacobn and old Fedealst" Shakspeares poetry,
scripture &c. were quoted prove SUCH 1.-THE present
oofcco party are the offspring OF General Jackson, who
have appropriated 10 themselves the of Democrats

Among other things, Gen. jacison was denounced rounu
for exercising the reto having object but to IN

friends was the people sustained General Jackson by re-

we are under the IMPRESSION that every thing connected
with that institution has become "obsolcte"
Mr.. d. thinks there great difference between the
acquisition Of louisiana by purchase and the acquisition OF
Texas, BY fraudulent war Of loco toco origin"
That war assisted The Wings to kill of one brave old Ge-
neral by elccng him President. Not content with that
