g ton OF the party in that section of the Union
I and we find that it TALES to tho letter with tn
X declaration Of the Charleston Mercury, when
! declared that ii is ssabolitionised.,, Mr.. Cum
: back. OF Indiana, prominent democratic free
: soller, made a speech in the IT, s. house ofye
e representatives., on the 9TH ult, on the Kansa
G contested election case in which he declare,
), that: ''He stood BY the old democratic doc
: trne, affirming the right and duty of SLAYER,
q Inhibition In the terrltoresby congress. Th
e doctrine proclaimed by northern democrats be
: tore the passage of the Kansas Nebraska act
: was that the act was intended not only to ak,
S those territories free, but to establish Gordon
It OF tree States to the Pacific" So we see, BY
e the declaration Of democrats, both at the nortl
and IN the south, that northern democracy i
: pretty etectually swamped in freesosm. The
prohibition by congress of slavery in the terri
S tories, according to the testimony of Mr. Cum
g back was the old democratic doctrine, while its
present creed has a new article of faith added
which is thus summed up BY the honorable gen
tlemen:z 'the doctrine proclaimed by northern
: democrats before the passage of the Kansas
Nebraska act, was that the act was intended not
only to make those territories Free but to estab-
llsh Gordon of free States to the Pacitc''-
And we see what was the object of the northern
democracy in roing for the Nebraska-K Kansas
bill. 1t was done, therefore, according to this
gentieman's testimony in the halls of congress
to carry out the old democratic doctrine of pro-
hbiting slavery in the territories. Yet south
ern wings are entreated to turn their back up-
on Fillmore, and come to the aid of democracy
IN carrying out its freesoil plans: But that is
not all, Tor we have testimony from the Key
stone State, the great citidal of modern demo
cracy, fully endorsing that given BY the Charles
ton Mercury and Mr.. Cumback, in regard to
the helplessness of democracy in general and
It's rottenness at the north in particular The
Pennsylvania, edited by Forney, late of the
Washington Union, and special organ of Mr.
Buchanan, speaking Of the abolition sentiment
prevalen! at the north says:
$50 general is this sentiment in the States !
north OF u.s. that many protesting the democrat |
lc name are Infected, and the masses generally. /
even those not organised in the black republi- +
can party, are borne away in the popular cur
rent. 1t is melancholy confession to make |
but the democracy--or what ought to be the /.
democracy-ln those States, is at this time gen
orally defeated by black repubcanism: or IS
dtsorganised By treesoiljsna wHhjn It's oeon ranks
There are thousands of course who have not
bowed the knee to the black republic Baal, but
the mass has been deluaed and temporayHy nisled.
For illustration, what New England State
would sustain by its cote sound platform like
ours of the 4th Of .March?'
Still southern wings are asked deliberately to
abandon their principles, the good old cause
or which they have so long and faithfully bat .
led--to desert their time honored and gori-
JUS standard -for the purpose Of joining par ,
y which, by the confessions of its official Or
,ans, is not only in dying condition through ,
ut the Union, but what little vitality remains
Il 1t at the north lis disorganised by freesol-
sm within its own ranks"' The foregoing pic
ures of democracy, be it remembered, were
|rawn by democratic hands--by men belonging
0 the party, and prominent members at that, .
Who speak from their own knowIedgc-and if
ny southern whig feels inclined to ship on
GARD the old worm-eaten craft, and mess with
UGH motley crew Disclaimers, why,'.le him
lde." The sooner he is off the better, for he
annot be fit companion for old wings, and
ould not, under any circumstances, be an Q
american.
According to dispatch published in the n :
ork Times, it appears that in tie committee f
n resolutions, appointed by the Cincinnati de- t
locratic national convention. Mr.. Thompson, I
Mississippi, moved the adoption of the Geor- i
ia patform-that the constitution carries slave !,
Y into the territories. 1t was lost by nearly a Q
e-vote-Ayer, of New Hampshire, voting aye; S
ierre Soule and one other southern DELEGATE n
oted no. So it would appear that the senti l!
tents promulgated by the democracy of Geor- :,
ia in regard to the rights of the south and the v
avery question, are altogether too ultra for Il
H. 1oOuie. tIit ItdutE Oh the LOUISIANA wing OF

The London papers ANNOUNCE that an ar
lngement has been concluded between Mr.

I when registered twcnty-nine cents The n
arrangement had better be broken up'if the svs- [
m does moi work better than il does between Il
ew Orleans and this place: For now it mere tc
enables dishonest officials to distinguish the S,
,luable letters from Others and thus facilitates II
cir embezzling operations. n
