FROM AN OLD LINE DEMOCRAT.

perusal Of oil our readers, and most especial,
and earnestly to all those readers who claim
to be Democrats. 1t is from the pen Of one
who has good right TO speak TO the Demo
cracy-from an intelligent and venerabl,
Democrat of the school Of Jefferson anc
Madson-who lived in intimate association
and intercourse with those patiots Will,
they remained on earth, and learned Demo
cracy from their lips as well as from thei
public acts and written productions. Such an
appeal as this from such source, must strik.
to the heart of every true Democat, however
thickly his breast may be covered with the
harness of party discipline.
TO THE REAL DEMOCRATS OF TIE UNITED
STATES.
And has it come to this! James Buchanan
| n black cockade, blueli Frderalist, noni
mated for President BY the mixed mss OF
office-seekers, political int1guants, and for.
eigners, impudently usurpng the name Of
Democrats, and prostitutng their principles
] denounce the act as n goss insult to YOU
and shameless indgniy to the horored
dead. 1t can only be cbnsummatcd BY men.

iniquity. What? The bitter reriler of James
Madison, the weak butyenomous opposer of
his administration Y,s! james Buchanan

Do the authors of tbs unblnshing imposi.
ton take you for madplen and fools? They
Democrats! What then were Jefferson and
Madison! They werenot Democrats if these
men are. Will you trust men who in the
same breath nominate This man, and then to
deceive you and all America, incorporate into
their platform Madison's resolutions Of '98 A.?
Unparalleled pudeBce-irauduien incon-
sisiency. Recommend to You he tederalisf,
and approve these resolutions, the most anti.
federal document in American history! Pledge
themselves to the support of the Union and
the constitution, and cherish and court the
element Of foreign power inimica and de.
structive TO both! when this same man, too,
james Buchanan, when opposing The Demo
crats, said that "foreign influence has been in
every age the curse of rermblcs"-a senti.
ment worth all he ever uttered besides, but
now repudated by him and them.
The nOminat0rs of James Buchanan profess
an equal love for the NORTH and South, and
unite with the enemies of he South to make
their nomination-profess b. do equal Justice
to each, and ask your votes for Wilmot
prouiso man who would exclude the whole
South from ali the territorill land belonging

Shameless and cruel mcckefy! All this will
ensure to them the North while the platform
will bamboozle, blindfold aud cheat the Sonth
and West. Democrats indeed! They are
unprncipled trcksters, who have united to
possess themselves Of power and the spoIs
That is the whole length, breadth and depth
of the Democracy of thei, lenders The rank
and file OF the cOnglomeratcd fused faction
are deceived in these men, and believe them
to be honest and patriotic us themselves
Will you let these men, protesting one thing
and doing another, cause you TO stultfy your
selves by running into palpabls inconsisten.
