PERSEVERANCE IN ERROR.

After each successive exposure of the blunders of the OPP
position the democratic party almost induced to
hope that shall have occasion to
ganization led by such influences believed in
even for a single moment But hardly have our wing
friends escaped from rophe of their creation
before they hard work nstgang and preparing for
another The bankrupt law with all its dreful
quences them and the country, did not prevent them
from opposing the tariff of 1876 the Of the tariff
of 1916 did prevent them from opposing the with
Mexico the triumphant progress of the war with Mexico
did amonish them against resisting the acquisition Of
California the triumphant of that acquisition did
prevent them from assang the compromise
and finally the practical utility and value of these very
compromise does not prevent them from de-
nouncng and disappearing the Nebraska bilcerain
be crowned with victory just the of
which it is the legitimate result have themselves been
tanned
Our first wonder is that the authors of this succession
of failures in marvellousy short time, should them
selves have the hardhood attempt other expedients
Our next that when they do make such attempt they
should be listened to by the American people
The mystery is explained perhaps by the of
who act upon the principle of opposing everything
which their opponents may suggest and also by the fact
that in all ages the shewdes imposter is for while the
most prosperous of Still the truth remans-that
whenever the opposition the democratic party puts forth
measure opposes the principles Of the democratic
party it commits cgregous failure and also, that not
wthstandng this has been and repeatedly exemphfed
the people still listen their receptions but listen only
be deluded.

RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE SONG.

BY Mrs. A. L. RurER DuFoyR.
Tear do,cn our glorious ssripes and Marsi
Forever palsied be the tongue
That framed such poison'd, bastard words
AS from traitors heart eer sprung.
Lives there soul on freedoms soil
SO lost to honor, truth, and right, ~
That cen would desecrate in thought
That sheen with Heavens own halo bright
Go, traitor soul, and stand beside
The tomb of Freedoms dearest son,
Who, fearless mid deaths battle-tide,
This land from dark Oppression won.
Go, tread the sacred blood-stained sod
Bought with our fathers wounds and scars
Then dare to breathe, cen but in thought,
Destruction to our stripes and stars
Tear dozen our fayi Thy impious hand
Would wrest the stars from yon blue sky
Would pluck the bright sun from his sphere,
And earth in blacklist crime would dye.
Go, speak those baneful words in lands
Congenial to Oppression's slave,
Where Tyranny's strong letters bind
All from the cradle to the grave!
Where Treason Turks meath courtly smiles,
And tinseld sycophants must knecl
To allegiance which the soul
OF Freedom spurns beneath its heel
Is there a son, legitimate,
OF Liberty that would not stand
And proudly poar his life-blood out
To shield that flag from Trcason's hands
Tear doua our flag May lightning's blast
And fearful bolt burst DER the head
That would dishonor, but in thought,
THAT FLAG 'Twere better he were dead
Traitor dare not look on its folds,
So dear to Liberty and Fame,
Lest blindness blast fore'er thine eyes
And chill the life-pulse of thy frame!
Dost hear l-oh Con 1.-The impious words
Tear dozen Columbia's stripes and stars
Which Thou hast set in Freedoms skies,
And where no stain their glory mars.
To Thee alone we look for strength
To guard them from foul Treason's snare:
That standard must all nations bless,
For Thou host Get Thine impress tAersf

HAIL TO THE STARS AND STRIPES

All hail the Haunting liel
The stars grew pale and dim
The stripes are bloody scars,
A lie the Wanting hymn
1t shields pirates deck,
1t binds a man in chains;
1t yokes the captive's neck,
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the Haunting lie
Half-mast the starry bag!
Insult no sunny sky
With hates polluted rag;
Destroy 1t We who can
Deep sink it in the waves,
1t bears a fellow-man
To groan with fell0w-slaves.
Unfurl the boosted lie
Till Freedom lives again,
To rule once more in Truth
Among untrammelled men
Roll up the starry sheen,
Conceal its bloody stains,
For in its folds is seen
The stamp of Trusting chains!

TASTE OF AN ANTI-NEBRASKA SOUTHERN WHIG
The regular correspondent of the New York Times an
ardent admircr of Messs Chase Sumner and Seward but
he takes OCCASION and then exhibit cordial fellow
feeling for the few southern who have become asso-
cated of late with the aboonsts the Nebraska ques
ton We observe an instance of his friendship for
southern Nebraska whg from Tennessee of his
late letters which extraordinary that ought
be overlooked We make the following quotation for the
benefit of oil concerned 1t will be that the writer
to give conversation between Senator Dixon Of
Kentucky, and Mr.. Bugg, of Tennessee as follows:
Gov. Dixon Why Colonel, am surprised to see You
going Oft from southern brethren and assocatng and
ailiang with such Seward and Chase, and Gid
dings, and Douglass.
''Col. Bugg, (aer momentary pause and cool survey
Of his interrogation little uncertain whether he should
drink his whskey spill it in the face of the Governor
Which Douglass?
"Gov. Dixon. Fred Douglass, the nigger
Col. Bugg. Well, if it true, would rather
cnte with the black Douglass than the white The only
difference between them is that black outside and the
other insdeand the difference strikes forciby be in
Freds favor.
Gov. Dixon Ia little disconnected at this home shot
Well you're dead anyhow for the Won have taken
You will never be heard of again.
"Co Bugg That's question yet to be settled. | am
going home after awhile to try the ISSUE amt dead yet,
and my chance is pretty good take it, But get beaten,
why then you and viii be even because you dead al
ready
IL may excite the admiration of abotonss for Mr. Bugg
to learn that he would prefer the association of coored
man like Fred Douglass to that of senator like Judge
Douglas bu, very that Mr. Buggs constituents
viii hardly admire his They will conclude that il
bad enough in him to select white abotonsts his
political associates the Nebraska question: but when he
goes the length of peerrng Fred Douglass associate
the distinguished senator from Illinois they will regard
/ that as intoerable
/ If Mr.. Bugg used the anpua attributed TO him about
Judge Douglas (which doubt it only shows how soon
"ev communications corrupt good manners The abol
onsts have INDUCED freely in such harmless aspersion
upon Judge Dougasf Mr. Bugg has done So he has only
! stolen little abolition thunder.

THE DEMOCRACY CAN TRIUMPH WITHOUT NEW
YORK.

If it be true confidently asserted by the New York
Herald that without reunion of the party in New York
the democrats of the nation powerlcss it be adj
mtted that the prospects for the future full of gloom
The latest political movements in that State indicate no
better spirit democratic reunion than has prevailed
since the 4h Of March, 1853 Neither the late action of
the softs in Tammany Hail. in denouncng the appoint
of Mr. McKeon the action Of the hards at Syra
cuse nominating Judge Bronson for governor and de-
nouncng the administrative policy Of President Pierce is
calculated the chances of restoration of har
mony and unity in the party may be land this is the
only hope that be left that such acts of inn
prudence may hasten the arrival of the democratic masses
to the conclusion that many of the present democratic
leaders in New York controlled by their passions to
enable them make wise councillors and safe cham
pions of the party When this conviction fastens itself
upon the minds of the masses, may hope to the
devised of concentrating and uniting all true demo-
Gratis into solid and triumphant party. But long
personal animosities and private grie hold dominion
the leaders of the party the conclusion irresistible
that there can be reunion rhis is the conclusion on
which the of the other States made up their
minds to act They utterly repudiate and repe the idea
that the national democracy poweress without the
operation of the democrats of New York The Herald may
rejoice confusion and distraction which render
union in the Empire State impossible and thence infer that
the grand object for which it has laboredte overthrow
Of the democratic pary-wl be accomplished but the
sequel will prove that New York is neither the Union nor
does control the Union but that the very fact that has
become clear that the democracy of the other States must
triumph in their next conflict without the help of New
York will excite them to greater zeal and inspire them
with energy than they have ever before displayed The
spirit that animates the democracy ofothcr States
is that they and they viii triumph without New York If
the democrats of the Empire State resolved continue
to be the victims of that fell spirit of faction and disscnon
which renders them powerless at home and by-word
abroad they have but await the next great national
learn that it is fatal deusion for them to sup
pose that without reunion of the democrats of New York
the party is powerlcss in the nation"
