GARRIsoSs and PHrLLIPsEs may have at
tempted to "ring in" with that party tut when
they found that it was party whose foun-
d,tion stone was fealty to the Constitution
and the Union, they left for the Democratic
party in whose black folds they are now
herded. When they ascsrtsined to = GER
,ainty that our design was not to "remove
the ancient landmarks'" they repudiated
Republicani>m. and fell in to the rank and
file OF the African Democracy, whose dis
tinct:ve features are utterly opposed to those
old landmarks.

That able but unscrupulous sheet. the
Richmond Enquirer. which is, PAR excellence
the Southern organ Of the Democracy and
which declares that it would be far better to
have Queen Vic" to rule over us, than any
Yankee in New England, is the foremost
champion of Democracy in the South.
Gen. Qu1rMAx, in 1851, wrote letter
to the great Southern Convention, recon-
mendinp them to nominate candidates for
President and Vice President, and proceed
TO elect them. Gen. @. is now . leading
Democrat in Mississippi.
Jons c. CALHOUN, (thcn Vice President
IF the United States) in 1888 was tho leader
Of the celebrated secession movement in
South Carolina, and he was, as lopg as he
lived, the most distinguished leads. Of the
Democracy. and at his death was canon;zed,
and placed in the calender Of Democratic
saints.
. Mr.. McMULLEr, of Va, said last winter
in Congress-"restore the Missouri: restric-
ton and repeal the Fugitive Slave Law and
this Union will be dissolved" Mr.. Nc
MULLEN is a member of he Democratic
party.
These facts, which are we'll known to be
true, are sufficient to place the stigma OF
disunion xhe 9 I properly belongs: upon the
African Democracy.
We come to notice few IF the "fucts"
in the Gareite's leader, which were "invent.
ed BY the author" He says: The Fre-
mont vote in this county will be but
very little larger than the old abolition
vote Now this is grossly untrue, and
Captain HEATuK knew it was a mistake
when no penned it. Another "inventcd
fact" is that we have deliberately planned
Presidential contest, in which the North
is arrayed sgainst the south. They have
with wicked premeditation repudiated fifteen
States as unworthy of their political asso
citation. They have blotted Gu, from the
National banner fifteen of its glorious stars,
and have run up flag staff with that banner
mu,ilsted and torn in twain &c, &c &c.
