AE 1t is plain TO be seen that all over
this broad and beautiful country, large
portion Of the people have deter mined, and
that determination is rapidly increasing TO
disregard and break up every party organ
ization, which hinders progress, in truth
justice and freedom. The once democrat
ic party, like all successful parties, was
once honestly adhered to, and the great
body Of its members have long been hon
est and sincere in their views and acts, in
connection with it. The great and glori-
ous doctrine of human rights as promulga-
ted BY tie friends Of the party are acknowl
edged and scquiesced in by all the people
of the free States. These principles are as
immutable as the law Of gravtation or any
other law Of nature. But the organization
which sprung into life with their discovery,
is old and rotten. Selfish and ambitious
men have prcsttuted that organization to
The lowest purposes, even to the extension
of slavery and tyranny. 1t is but natural
then, that the people should abandon the
organization, to follow truth, justice and
freedom. This organization is now the
greatest evil prevailing in the country. Is
it not SO? We submit the assertion to eve
ry candid lover of his country's purity, free
dom and progress. 1t raises 10 power and
influence your worst men. Your Jake
Films, and your drunken Corwins, to the
highest judicial stations 1t squanders your
public money-look at the expenses of
your County, State and National govern
ment; look at your taxes. 1t is the parent
of secret political societies Look at the
Tammany society, the Miamis, and the
Know Nothings 1t is proscriptve and ty-
rannical over its own members Now, no
man can speak and act out his sentiments
and convictions without being excommuni
Gated, denounced, and as eifectually barred
from any voice in public affairs as if he was
a Chinaman. 1t is like the corporations it
once denounced. powerful, selfish, souless,
and discaiming responsibility TO the people,
scorning conscience, and triumphing in
wrong.
No wonder then, that the great masses Of
the people, who rely upon themselves, and
their farms and shops for living, though
admiring democratic principles and deter
mined to preserve them, should revolt from
such party organization.
They are daily more and more convinced
that the overthrow of the selfish, ambitious,
corrupt, managers, Of party politics, is now,
the greatest service they can render to the
country.

NOT Dead Vet.

Some Of the most imaginative Of the
Democratic writer's have been laboring for
months past to prove that the National
Wing Party is dead. But we believe they
have not even succeeded in persuadng
themselves Of the truth Of this position else
surely they would not toll and fret and
fume this hot weather in the effort to per-
suade other people that it is reality, If
the Wing party be in verify dead. what
sort Of courage and chivalry does it exhibit
on the part Of our opponents to occupy
themselves necessarily in Staying the slain
II was but few days since that a vgi-
lent Democrat in the House of Representa-
tives admitted the potency of the Wing par
ty whilst he lamented the inefficency of his
own in shaping the legislation of the couu-
try. This is consolatory admission in more
respects than one: for if in decided minor
ity as they are at present they can give
tone and effect to the business of legisla-
ton how much more useful must they prove
when again in a majority! The simple
philosophy of the thing is this: that Wing
principles stand the "test of talents and Of
time;" and to accomplish anything efficient
for the country the majority must fal! into
Wing measures. Whatever mischief has
yet been done cannot be laid at the door
Of the Wings; whatever Of good is to result
from bills for Notifications, roads. rivers. and
harbors. or from any other measures promo

That's the Talk.

A Nebraska Democrat writes mov-

plies thus:

The Wayiti is Done.

Our township casts about 500 votes.-
OF these, about 60 met at the call Of the
officers and oflice-seekers, hereabouts, to
manufacture delegates for the coming Coun-
ty, Judicial. and Congressional Conventions
We looked on a while. A large portion
Of this meeting was made up Of the real IN

Our talented and reliable member of the
Legislature was called 10 the chair and
presided with much dignity and great i'm
partially. The U. s. Marshal, who is also
part of tie Board of Public Works, was
there, las in duty bound,) to see things done
according to orders from head quarters.
Hon. J. c. Wales, Esq, appeared TO be
the master spirit of The whole affair.
The convention organized, all was quiet,
solemn. 1t was determined TO choose del
egates by ballot

tickets prepared?" TIE old democratic
leader, and lawyer c. S Click, turns SOL
emnly around to friend and said: "Mr Is.
have YOU got any tickets ?" Ans. "Yes

out Of his pockets, Il quantity Of the desired
article.
Ballotng took place-about 40 men vet
ing, the balance remaining disinterested or
content TO let the others do up the busi-
ness. In this way the following gentlemen
were chosen delegates to the County Con-
venlion:
c. Doncyson, Thos. Pinkerton, Solomon

We always had the impression that

ter was far superior. The true genius of
America. The sequel to enterprise and
improvement. Humble, yet glorious cal
ling. Simple, yet rejecting ray Of light
into the world, which in its course, rears
cities, builds empires, and removes the rude
wig wan Of the forest. and places in its
stead humble cabins. beautiful cottages and
proud mansions. But the curse of slavery
assigns TO the carpenter the lowest of posi-
tons 10 society. He is looked upon more
as an article of trade than tradesman.-
He is led up 10 the auction block, and sold
to the highest bidder. The more genius
and skill of workmanship he possesses, the
higher price will be paid for him by bis
purchasers The stronger the physical
powers Of the man, the more readily he
will sell.
