Augusta Democracy.

There never was truer band Of patri.
OTIS than the present Democracy OF Au-
gusta. She numbers among her members
someof the most gallant--who in sunshine
and in storm stand manfnlly up to the great
interests Of the party. Never did sparians
iiga, harder. We had everything to con-
tend against-in the very inception of the
action, friends deserted, and tried TO sell
their Party-local interests and prejudices
and rewards operated to our detriment-
yet with all this we have sustained our
own.
Especial praise is due the intrepid and
tireless Democracy Of Stuart's Draft Pre-
clnct, under the lead of S. S. Abbey, Esq.
Nobly did they do their duty. and more
too Also, the unbending and incorrupti-
bic band at Mt. Scion, who against every
disadvantage, fought to the bitter end tied
the vote for Governor, and carried the
day for the county ticket. Also, Middle
brook and Mt. Sidney, nobly come up to
the work, aud stood uublanched the fire
Of the enemy. Indeed. considering the
influences operating against us, the party
in this county has CALAMITY discharged ats
duty. -5..

The Great Victory of 1855.

History records many achievements Of
and identity of nations and men were in
solved. The battle of the Granieus sealed
the fate of Darius and laid conquered
world at the feet OF the great Captain who.
sighed for ether worlds to illustrate his
genius. The extraordinary achievement
Of Scipio upon tac field of Zama, eclipsed
the glory of Hannibal, and excited the adj
IMITATION Of the ancient world. Miltlades
startled the millions by bis triumph over
Datis and Artaphernes, upon the plains Of
Marathon. Leoniaas, aud 800 SpartaDs,
checked the proud march Of The imperial
Xerxea, with the flower of the mightest
army Of ancient times, at the pass of Their
mopylG. Wellington, upon the field OF
Waterloo, humbled the before invincible
and victorious Napoleon, and banished the
heroic CoIslcan to.a desoIate Isle. Wash
ngton SEM sea OF gladness to the patriot
hearts OF the world, when proud Albion
was BUNDLED upon the field OF Yorktown,
and nation was spoke free.
These grand military achievements have
eyclted the amazement of the world at diff
ferent times, because upon their decision
depended SO many hopes and such great
interests. These results, however, great
as they were, had not for their object (save
in one instance)the enlargement of human
/ freedom, and hence do not present that
sublime moral spectacle which attaches to
those two grand political contests which
rocked this mighty Republic to its centre
and closed in the triumphant vindicat ion
of Religious Freedom and Equal Laws
the victory Of the Democracy under Jeifer-
son in 1900. and the Victory of the Demo-
crazy under Wise in 1855. The entire IA
ton was the theatre OF the one conflict, and
the sacred soil of Virginia, the home of
! Freedom, the other. Posterity has en-
bamed in grateful memory the name ofhe
one and Posterity will received the civic
+ triumph Of the other ia like manner. The
broad banner of Equal Laws and Equal
! Rights waves over al lnsidious, bat now
PROSTATE foe to human liberty. Long may
it wave, as an emblem Of the incorrupti-
biIlty and the inYineibility Of the Democ-
raey of Virginia.

defeat OF Flournoy. The frs, intelligence
we received. after the election, from that

g. Their heart was swollen with pride, they spaka
great and swelling words against the people Of the
lanc OF the Democritic, and the stranger within his
gates,
A. They fed from the light ofthc sun and abode in

dark places under the earth.
o. They skulked like beasts of prev from their hi
ding places, and filed their belly with wind
D. The owl and the bat and the Iap-wing were their
companions, and all manner of nosome beasts.
l. The old eagle from her erey among tho
erags of the land of the Dcmocritio the Usurper's

Ii. They spoiled the children of the land OF tho
