arena Of politics, amounts to nothing.
ITO achieve any work of Importance,
There must be concert OF action and
unity of psrpose Man having slight
shade Of sagacity more than airy ether
animal, became acquainted with this
fact, early ID bis history, hence The
formation Of society ON IFS present per-
manent basis; huinbuggery being the
ground work; deceit The shperstue-
ture, and the apex is crowned with
knavery and bald faced bypocracy.-
We do not say this to be growing /;
because The philosophy Of M. Alex
ander Pope whatever is, il right"
will suit lis very well to live by, ip our
brief breathing time.

And what binds us ID holy bonds of

this, that all mankind bow with rever-
enee and respect. The Priest prays
for IL; the doctor physics for it, The
lawyer let's loose his most eloquent
tongue for It, and the hewers of wood
bring us water for it, The bosom of
the patriot swells to twice its dilnen-
sions in contemplation Of 1.-THE
whole race lives for it, and the dearest
love, If not the purest, would CONCEAL
into indifference, IL not fed upon its
sugar plums out Of silver label. That
impregnaole fortress Of political knave-
ry and deceit assuming to have all
the patriotism in the land, inside its
stone walls--we mean the modern go
called Democratic party, would cave
down and sink into perdition (where
it ought to beg If 1t were not for the
metallic walls that encompass 1t, and
the silver balls scattered about, from
the inside, like Capt Bragg's "grape,"

election just ended, presents some
strong features illustrative Of our po-

L will DO remembered, that these peo-

held great State Convention in this
city, to send delegates to the great
Cincinnati Convention--that, in that

represented by their respective lions;
that The Douglass party triumphed
aud their nominees went on and were
mainly instrumental in giving the
nomination TO the gentleman who is to
be--aeo Uolente the next President of
the nation. II will be remembered al |
SO, that sundry chief priests and great
Field 1parshals, ia tho democratic
camp, waxed very wrathy and would
have done something desperate, (be.
cause they were deceived), if it could
have been made to pay But when
they were told ut wouldn't" they
gave in and danced up to the music in
the most harmonious manner. What
caused them to become amiable +? Ger.

Let us come down to later period.
A grand democratic ratification took
place, after the events just narrated. $500
A celebrated Turftsman in politics, was
invited to be present and unburthen
himself in speech on the politics Of
he day. He couldn't come, but wrote
letter from head quarters, which was
'ead to The ratification, and at once
