RESULT OF A PosT-MORTEM Ex.
ANIMATION

Died, in the State of New Hampshire, on
the 18th Of March, 1855, Of Plethora and In
digestion, together with strong symptoms Of
Apoplexy and disease Of the Heart, a once
very respectable middle aged gentleman, called
"Hunker Democracy" The sobriquet, 'llun-
ker Democracy" was given to distinguish him
from the true democracy which he had deserted.
and his advocacy Of principles and measures he
had once condemned. To develop the causes
which led 10 this melancholy catastrophe, and
as warning to others, il will be necessary 10
GO back litile, and trace the history Of this
noted parsonage.
'Hunker Democracy" or, as he was former
" called, Democracy" was in his youth Of a
slim, spare figure, Of sanguine, bilious tenn
permanent, choleric disposition, generous feelings,
with considerable selfes,eem, and very sure Of
being right on all questions which he espoused.
He was impatient of contradiction could i'll
brook restraint, and was sometimes disposed TO
press hard on the boundaries of law and order
He had very large spice of credulty in his
disposition. was very susceptible to fiattery; a
warm friend hut bitter hater, and liable TO
mistake names for things, words for principles,

AMERICA--ITs AGE AND ITS ANTI
DUTIES.

The only knowledge which the Present can
obtain of the Past, anterior TO written history,
must be gathered from the lessons taught by
the monuments that have survived the devastat-
ing wars Of ignorant and infuriaied man, the
crash of the elements, and the slow corroding
power Of untold time. The two continents of
this Western hemisphere abound with these
mute enduring records. The labols Of the an
tquarians in Asia, Africa and Europe have dis
closed monuments Of art now in ruins that were
reared by a people whose history has passed
down TO US in written words. With the gene
raj history Of the Assyrans, the lsraelites, the
Egyptians, the Carihagenians, the Greeks and
the Romans, we are already acquainted, and all
the discoveries made by antiquarians in their
researches in those countries, among the ruins
of ancient palaces, temples, and cities, serve
but to illumine some portion Of written history
that are now dark, or illustrate others that are
imperfectly detailed. But such is not the case
in America. The antiquities Of America ex-
tend from the shores of the Atlantic to the Pa
cfc ocean, and from lid kat lakes and British
Provinces to Peru and Brazil, in South Ameri-
ca. These ruins are not illustrated or even al
luded to by any written history. Their origin
is lost to view behind the inpenetrable veil i'm
posed by unnumbered cycles of unchronicled
centuries. Immense forests growing over tho
ruins of large cities and the gigantic size Of
trees, with indications that other generations Of
trees sprung up and grew up aud decayed be-
fore them, prove that these ruins preceded the
christian era.
Neither history nor tradition indicates the Or
igin or the rise of those vast mounds that are
found scattered over the North American conti-
nent. They stand in silent grandeur, monu-
ments of race of people that have long since
passed away, leaving no other traces Of their
existence. 1t is fashionable 10 speak of the
Eastern continent as the Old World, yet it is
not known to be entitled to this appellation.
Who can say that the Andes and the Sierra
Nevada, are not the seniors Of the Alps and
Himalaya! Who is prepared to prove that the
ruins of Uximal and Palenque and the pyramids
Of Cholulu, in Mexico, do not take precedence
in age of the sphinxses and pyramids of Egypt
Of the winged lions Of Assyria History traces
the rise and fall Of Nneveh, Of Babylon, and
of Thebes, but we have no record of the rise,
progress, fall Of those great cities in Central
America, which the laborious research Of Ste
yens and Catherwood brought TO light. There
the human faced-bulls and the winged lions o
Nineyeh find their equivalents in the grotesque
carving in stone Of hideous forms Of men and
auimals. Who can say that these rude sculp
lures of America did not precede those o.
Asiai
But we viii not speculate on a subject tha
offers no basis on which even a plausible argu
ment can be erected. The existence of numer
