The Feliciana Democrat. (Clinton, La.) 1855-186?, 1856-07-05


The DEAreKNE1L OF FANAriclsM. From
nll quarters. says the Lowell Advertiser, the
wires bring us the joyous and uni
versal shouts Of the Democracy, ratifying the
nomination of Buchanan and Breckenridge.
Not one discordaut or dissenting voice strikes
upon the ear The great Democratic family,
from Maine to California, are bound together
like n band of brothers, with heart and hand
pledged as one man to the perpctuation Of
Democratic principles, to the united and har-
monious support Of the Democratic nominees,
and to the utter and complete humiliation of
these twin curses Know Nothingism and Black
Republicanism, which are striving to weaken
and divide the great American confederation
and blight the usefulness and prosperity Of the
country. The Cincinnati Convention has tollcd
the dcath-knell Of both the traitorous factions
and the idcs of November will see them sunk
into the deepest shades of their native dark
ness, aud in the utter contempt Of the Amer.
can people.

1--WE trust that no American will in any
form give counlcnanec to the idea that Mr.
Fillmore is now any thing else than an Ameli-
can in his political relations.
If we supposed for moment that Mr.. Fill
more if elected, would rcsuscilatc the Old
Wing party and abandon the platform and
principles Of the American party, we should
respectfully decline to render him even our
feeble aid, TO reach the position which he has
once adorned. Far from it.
Per contra, the New York Mirror, whcE
supports Fillmore, speaks ont as follows
1--WE must frankly say, that if Mr. Fillmore
has stopped to the imposition of the degrees
and pledges Of any secret catl-bound league
that will s!ackIc his liberty to appoint or to
remove from Office any man who may he emi.
