Ya,r ya:aiayisn aai Democracy

We have frequently charged the members
Of the Democratic party with having as inl
ly identified themselves with Know Noth-
inpism as have Wings. A proof OF this
accusation has recently been furnished by
Maior Bartlett, OF Covington, KY, Presi-
dent of the Grand Council OF the American
Organization, who recouniing the history OF
The origin, rise and progress of the party, at
the Barbecue back Of Newport, on Saturday,
goth ult, sccu,ed at the idea OF its being
managed and controlled By Wings and Wing
politicians. He remarked in substance, that
so far from being under the control 0!
Whirs. il was now absolutely governed by
Democrats Of the true Jeffersonian stamp;
that he himself had always been consls-
tent and answering Democrat-that he
still advocated Democratic principles and
policy. and that sir ouf>>s seven If the of.'
Gers OF the Grand Council, were gentlemen
who had always heen prominently identihea
with the old Democratic party up to the
hour of their sthiia,ion with the American
Republican Organization"

sprcu.ea wheat.

II would seem that thu wheat cr1pis not
safe until Il is harvested and made up into
-four and hsrily then. as the haus may
sour. The N. Y. Tribun. nf the sls' ul',
saws there is no little excitement in that and
adjoining States about the damage done by
the rain 10 the harvested and unharvested
crops Of wheat and hay. The Tribune how
ever thinks there is not much foundation
fsr the appre hen.ion, and that though
whenever the sprouts have appeared in one
field, the owner OF that field may believe
the evil has extended over the whole State,
such is by no means the probable fact.
