WE sHALL rRrUMpHp.

)lIuOn. OOUe OF the evils unuer Wnlcu
mankind have groaned, are traceable to the
anne cause, and We are at a loss sometimes 10
whether they have been productive
Of more good than evil; but we have now de-
termined in eur own mind, that, good is
III the nreponderance. In looking over
the political history of our country, we note
with pleasure the results Of the revolutions
which hurled from power the Goths and Van
dals who were fe'sting apon The vitals OF the
Nation, and placed in power the Democracy,
under the influence Of whose benign princi-
pies and reign, a period Of prosperity has been
vouchsafed 10 the country, interrupted by but
few reverses, and those only produced when
some strange infatuation seized the peoples and
they fancied a change would place in the
hands OF every one the Philosophers stone,
whose touch would turn every thing to gold
THE change was secuted, and waking from
their dream of fancied glory, they found their
visions fade as the morning dew before the
MONDAY sun, and realized that,to again secure
that prosperity which they cast away for the
shadow, they must return TO democratic men
and measures. Thus has it been since the
formation OF our government, and thus will ii
be so long as oar nation has a name and a
place among the nations OF the earth.
Some people imagine, because the democratic
n.,1, lo. Laan AZ Gaotal in ito anraeaniotlVa
in The late elections in the several states, that
therefore, il is dead! No such thing-it
scarcely sleeps! The principles Of Democra'
cy are those Of Eternal Truth, and will only
expire when the Author ofTruth ceases 10 ex-
list. Although some Of those worshipping at
its holy shrine, may have become lukewarm,
or wandered after strange gods, and thereby
suffered their first loved principles to be trod-
den in the dust, when their fond silly dreams
are over, they will return and renew upon The
altar OF democracy their oathS of hostility 10
every form OF tyranny over the minds of man,
and a revo luton will hurl from power the
usurpers and r~einstate that party whose prln-
ciples and measures are the crowning glory
and the prosperity Of this country. The dem
ocratic party dead No, when it dies, the
fires Of liberty will be extinguished in the
hearts of American cilizens-the dark Raven oil
disunion will utter his dismal c~roakings
throughout our now happy land, and the light
of hope will expire in the hearts Of The op-
pressed Of ali nations. When the democratic
party ceases 10 exist, anarchy and warfare
will unfurl their black banners, and where
now rules supreme, prosperity and happiness,
will reign adversely and misery where now
flow rivers OF milk and honey, will roll seas OIL
! blood and oceans OF carnage. Whenthe prin'
: cipies of democracy expire, and Ie've earth,
then will The Arch Angel stand with one foot
upon the sea, and the other upon the landau
! declare that time shall be no %longerl
: 1t is true, we are for the present defeated
but our opponents never obtained the reign
G of power, and had full scope, that they fal'e'
- in doing something 50 outrageously unpopula
J. with the people, and SO ~ruinous to The countr,
that, o revolution was commenced, wbicI
swept them into %obscurity, and their darlin
9 schemes into oblivion, upon the first oppoTtu
nifty at the ballot boxes. Thus it has eve
n been heretofore, and so we may expect it t
be in the future. Defeated we are, but, if tn
past isan index Of what is to come, six month
will not roll around mil the Democratic Presi
dent will be compelled 10 interpose the Vetc
Uhat power so hated by the opponents OF de
mocrocy,) 10 save the country, and'so incepS
ed will be the people, that denunciations wi
come from every quarter Of the nation, on &C
count Of the errors Of our law makers-and III
"a %anatical folly of those intrusted with powt
u and place. Defeated the democracy are, b,
upon what issues! What party is npower
=, What are their principles and the policy |
~ which they will be governed! Does not or
a man perceive at glance that an erplosioi
10 as overwhelming and general. will follow
81 the wake Of the recent revolution in polite;
10 affairs. The incongrous elements which d
Heated the democratic party cannot harmoni'
upon any single measure, not even perhaps,
OF opposition to the Nebraska Bill, which,
Ms some few districts, was made the HOBBY upC
n which few rode into Office. Already are Il
elements of dissolution at work, and so soon
h. Congress meets, which will be in a few week
The match will be applied 10 the magazin
and such an explosion as will ensue, will o
ler found the nation, and at the elections ne
fall, the discorlant elements non in trigml
will be no where! A revolution must to
'ou place-oil and water cannot harmonize-t
ur. members elected 10 Congress at the rece
elections, could not were they capable of
Stunning as many colors as the chameleon, re
resent all the isms which united, and plac
30 them in Office as The representative OF their
~terests. A duplicate of Jacobs coat
." many %colors," should be given 10 each one,
that he might carry upon his back, a fac si
>, lie of the principles he was expected 10 re
=" resent.
We are not conquered, there are hundre
of and thousands who have not bowed The kn
to Baal, nor worshipped strange gods, and W
81 those tried and true, we shall continue 10 /,
