The Democratic Party Of the Union.

The more we see and learn of the
Democratic party, the more we love
and cherish its broad, comprehensive
policy, its high national spirit, and
its unselfsh never-dying, neyer-fa'-
tering patriotism. Whether battling
with the vicious and unprincipled ter
magents Of the North, or contending
against the weak minded demagogues
and political truckers of the South,
the same high standard of warfare
characterizes its efforts, prelerring
to combat error with we'll defined
truth, though it sink in the contest,
rather than float upon the flood tide
of popular applause borne forward
by the crushing, whitening gales
which spring from the dens of trea-
son, and hasten everything in their
course Of ruin and destruction. Thus
acting, the Democracy have suffered
severe and disastrous defeats, but
time and experience have proven the
wisdom of their policy, and most apt
ly illustrate the suggestion Of the
poet
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again
The eternal years of God are hers;
While Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amidst IFS wOrshippersD
And thus cheered, they have new
er despaired Of ultimate triumph, but
pursued the even tenor Of their way
conscious Of their responsibility tt
the country, and determined to an

Consequently, they have ever beer

The following commu nication in
the Nashville Union & a nerican, will
afford food for speculation to inyes-
tigatipg minds:
THE EARTH ON FIRE Aaout six
miles from Paris, in Henry county,
Tenn, on the waters of the Holly
Fork Of Sandy River, is m extensive
swamp, somewhat similar r, suppose,
to the boys of Irish peat. The turf,
upon examination, | found to be
composed Of vegetable substances in
termixed with an earthly black mass.
The black mass seems to be the re-
suit of decomposed vegetable matter
and metallic sulphurets- 1t is high
ly combustible, and emits an odor,
when burning, somewhat similar to
chat of stone coal. This swamp took
fire from burning brus h heap du-
ring the dry season, and has been
burning slowly for seven weeks, not
outstanding there have been two
heavy rains since.
The roots Of large trees are con-
sumed by the fire, and the timber is
falling in every direction. The fire
is spreading on every side, and it is a
matter of conjecture what will be the
extent of this lake of fire.
