In all the late elections the Dcmoc-
racv have sustained losses and rebuke
the American party for taking notice
of the fact, by saying that we rejoice
at their defeat by the Black Republic
ans. We must tell the truth, and if it
hurts them we cannot help it. We
only wish to show to our readers that
the democrats have but little strength,
and cannot be relied upon to beat Ere
mont, so they ought to get out of the
way and let somebody beat him who
can do the thing ucW.

Who Is Responsible!

When a good deeds done, it isrlght
that the world should know the virtu-
GUS doer, that it may reward him.
When an evil deed is perpetratcd, it is
also right that the world should know
the author, that it may reward him.
This land, four years ago the happl-
est under the sun, smiling in the plen-
titudc of its blessings, and self-conh-
dent in the consciousness OF its own
great, undivided strength, is now torn
by strugglig sectional factions rife with
dissension, the theatre OF angry dis
putes, and bloody conflicts Who is re.
sponsible for all this? Who brought the
storm clouds of a sectional strife over
this peaceful land, to darken the calm
sunlight of harmony which bathed its
smiling harvest fields, and gilded its
bustling cities7 Who threw the apple
of discord into the national family
where all was concord, fraternal feel
ing and friendly forbearance, and set
the members of that family quarrelllng
and wrangling and fghtingl Who
has made the virgin soil ola rich new
Territory the theatre of a fratricidal
war; arrayed brothers againt brothers
on it's peaceful prairies, and made its
halls re-echo with the horrid reports OF
hostile cannons and rifles, or with the
dismal clank of the chains of the vio-
lators of law? Who has instIled into
the veins of men that maddening fire
of sectional hatred which makes the
Federal capital the scene of daily in
cendiary speeches, and almost daily
fighting? Who has turned the whole
North against the South, and hurried
the two sections to the very brink of a
general civil war

VARIETY STORE.

A rumor having been circulated through
the country that A. Jourdan was about to
quit Winchester, it seems that her citizens
and the neighborhood are trying to keep him
from going, as his custom has nearly doubled
since the spreading of that news. We think
he ought to be competent to give satisfaction
to his customers both as to price and to good
selection of goods, having had ten years ex-
perience in one of the largest houses in Paris,
(FRANCE), that great metropolis oil taste
and fashion.
We would say to the public, if you want
good bargains and CHEAP GOODS, 60 and see

that daily throng his store that are not salts

Election Tuesday.

WINCHESTER r:
FRIDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1855.

1t probably expected that the APP
peal should take some notice of the
democratic mass meeting lately at
Nashville. We were not present on
the occasion and can only speak from
hear-say. In the first place, we sup.
posed from the extraordinary efforts
made to inducc men to 60 to their meet
ing, that they had pretty fair crowd.
They claim to have had about forty
five thousand, but q complete failure
in speakers. Their handbills pro-
claimed in blazing colors that Cass,
Douglas, Hunter, Wise, Breckenridge,
Benjamin, Percy Walker, and so forth
would be there. We accordingly with
our usual confidence in their grand
prctensions, asked some of our ac-
quaintances how they liked the differ
ent persons mentioned in the above
list, but we received but one answer
to each interogatory, that is, "No such
man was there" Who were there :
what lions of the party? was the next
question. Well, they say, James G.
Jones, and somebody else" Then we
take it that if their speakers were Jas.
C. Jones and somebody else, they must
have felt like the people did when the
mountain laboured on certain occa-
sion, and eager expectation caused
them to gaze for great prodigy,
when 10! mouse was seen. But we
understand that there was something
to be seen there, and perhaps that was
the "somebody else exhibited for rs
cents, an animal with six legs.
There is no doubt that they had
very good crowd for Nashville, but
what disappointment to their hopes
when ]. C. Jones became the lion of
the day.
We understand that while somebody
was speaking, their flag, by breeze
from the North, was set on fire, and an
lrishman was called upon to put it
out. He tried but could not succeed;
a striking omen that the cry of the
democracy for Irish votes will not avail
them; but the democratic flag is DOOM
cd to destruction, and that by a breeze
from the North where old Buck lives.
Let US be ashamed, let our cheek burn
to cinder, when it becomes necessary
to invoke foreign aid to sustain our
cause. What commentary upon the
cause of Democracy, that Irish aid is
invoked to protect their flag; and what
an illustration of their policy! They
know that the immense foreign vote
has held the balance of power in this
country for n long time, and hence
they pander to its foreign feelings by
prclerring Irish to American citizens.
1t is amusing to see the different po-
silions taken by the Union and Ameri-
can in reference to the size OF the
crowd at Nashville. While giving
positive testimony he says there were
from thirty to iorty-fve thousand
But hear him circumstantially, and he

said that there were eight thousand
persons at the American meeting, but
now he says that the democrats had
twice as large crowd as the Ameri
cans. So it is seen that according to
his own showing they had but a small
crowd. Surprising that he was as de-
sirous IN over rnte the Democratic q,
