We learn from friend who present Mt the demo-

democratic party and vote the democratic ticket at The
November election; after which they formed into process

This is but incident but il exhibits in true light

with the democracy to overthrow that insdous and hid
monster, know-nothngism, dsgusied have they

The Northern Arlstocrncy.

Philadelphia. in a novel entitled " Our First
Families" draws the following picture of the aris.
tocracy of the North:
" Ii you were called upon to make up delegation
OF the talent learning, genius and virtue of the
country, you would no more dream of making your
selection from the so-dsant arstocracy,' than you
would think of choosing representation of
teral greatness and wealth from among the men of
genius and Intellectual personal distinction
Never were the Two elements of material and moral
superiority widely separated in this country.
Our arstocracy, general fact, have not even
good taste, good breeding, or good manners. They
dress badly, they speak badly, they eat, drink and
sleep badly. The women for the most part, have
coarse features fat feet. and vulgar hands. They
wear gaudy dresses they talk loudly and gggle and
affect false modesty in public; they are fond of slang
scandal, and low literature; they rude and inso
lent to their interiors, and mean and oppressive
their donnootivo They always take pains 10 assert
themselves, which truly high bred person never
does, except by the unconscious quetness of his
dress, appearance, language and manner and they
exhaust their lives and fortunes in ridiculous attempts
to outdress, outbuild and outshne ore another. Ia
word, that which passes itself off as The ars!ocracy
OF this country would be deemed only the snobhery
OF another. Go to Washington in winter to Sara,o.
ga IN summer or look IN at any time at fashionable
hotel or an exclusive party see the airs the pre-
TENSIONS the grmaces; listen to the subjects of con-
versaton, and the tone of voice, the language and
the manner in which they are treated criticse The
uesses the license OF talk among the young men and
women, the loud laughing, the squrmng and per-
petual gggling; study the manners and measure the
personal accomplishments of the company, and you
would think that shawls, yellow plush and Measter
Jeames had marshalled forth the hosts of high life
below stairs tor grand holiday
This is unquestionably a correct deineaton of the
money bag arlstocracy, which has thrown into the
shade that which is really the first class of orhern
soc'ety--trst in refinement, intelligence and hu-
manty.
