THE INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS AT SYRACUSE.
We published yesterday the proceedings of the
old line Jackson democrats in their late State
Convention at Syracuse. They make short and
clean work of the business in hand. They stand
upon the old fashioned principles of Jefferson,
Jackson, Tompkins and Silas Wright-they de-
clare their uncompromising hostility to the sx-
tension of slavery-they protest against packed
conventions-they repudiate the Cincinnati can
didate as the heir apparent of the Pierce dynasty
they declare themselves for Fremont and Day
ton, on the ground that the election of Buchanan
will make Kansas slave State while the cleo
ton of Fremont will secure it to freedom and
free labor
And who are these democrats that thus boldly
defy the Cincinnati politicians. and who cast
away with such contempt the pettifogging letter
of the Sage of Underwood and the Oily Gam
mon speeches Of Prince John? Who are they?
- are the cream of the old democratic party
of this commonwealth very cream of it.
Some Of them were leaders in the church when
our modern democratic chieftains-such as
Pierce Douglas and Toombs--were lawyers APP
prentices and some of them were democrats
when Mr.. Buchanan was federalist. And they're
present body of men that will asonish the Cncin-
natl compoundeH in November. The vote in this
State for Martin Van Buren, in 1sfS, upon the
general issue of hostility to the extension of
slavery, was 100000, and very likely upwards
Of fifty thousand of these voters are now with
Fremont. We should not be surprised if, on the
day of the election, the full measure Of one
hundred thousand Of the Van Buren, vote of AS
were TO be cast for Fremont. We think twenty
thousand liberal margin for tie family infu-
ence Of Van Buren,, under existing circumstances
The distinguished head Of the family has over
shot the mark, and like the Queen Of Louis PHI
lppe with the Count of Paris he comes in too
late. He has by this time discovered his mis-
take. He has imagined heretofore that he APP
propriated those one hundred and twenty thou
sand men for his own selfish purposes in 1913,
when intact they were only using him. They
were not avenging Martin Van Buren-they were
defending principle in that Buffalo movement
Thus we have another striking illustration of
the great fact that the prestige Of the democratic
party Is gone--that the name has lost its charm
that the party is broken up-that old demo-
Gratis by thousands are becoming independent
even Of democratic conventions and that all
around us there has been, is now, and will be
popular revolution at work, demolishing all the
old claptrap platforms, humbugs and lodges
Of schelnng politicians, until general reform
is effected and an out-and-out reconstruction OF
parties, principles, measures and men in govern
ment affairs. The Cincinnati continuance will do
no good to Mr.. Buchanan in the Empire state.
New York has gone by the board

tional compromises and balances upon which the
Union was founded; and we say that Kansas
should be admitted as a slave State, as peace
offering to the South, wholly regardless of the
effects of the act upon the Presidential election.
Entertaining these views, and resting them
upon the fundamental compromises of the con-
stitution, we are DESTROYS Of bringing the demo-
cracy in Congress to toe the line. Accordingly,
we approve the House amendments to the Army
Appropriation bill, in reference to the affairs
of Kansas, because they afford prospect
imbroglio, during even the short in
terval remaining OF the present session. Those
timid democrats of the House and the Senate,
who are endeavorng each to cover up from OBJ
servaton the little niger he carries in his bas-
ket, should confess the corn and hold up the
little pccaninny, and urge his rightful claim to
the protection Of Congress. In his wrigglings
and twistings the little darkey's legs and arms
re constantly coming to light, and this bill of
the Senate affords us a distinct view Of Governor
Wise's 'woolly head ebo-shin, gizzard foot" and
all.
We trust, therefore, that all DISCUSSES will be
thrown away, and that the democracy in Con-
gress, upon the appropriation bills, will be fur
nished with more than one opportunity, if neces-
sary, for frank admission and manly defence
of their undoubted policy to make of Kansas
slave State. The project upon broad Union and
constitutional grounds, is right, and MI. Clay
las said that it is better to be right than to be
President" There has been so much lodging
about in the bush by Mr.. Douglas with his little
niger under his arm,) as the great Northern ex-
ponent of modern democracy, that it has become
absolutely essential to a fair Interpretation of
the Cincinnati platform that Mr.. Douglas and
his little nigger should he smoked out

1t was with fiuttering heart that the over
Joyed mother went about the preparations for
dinner. and when the table Was neatly set,
every dish in It's place, and the turkey smok-
ing hot, waiting TO be carved. she summoned
the old man. He made his appearance al
once. and took his seat. Glaucing around the
table he said

long lost William.

After this, il is unnecessary to add that JOY

mingled with the sunshine Of the present, but
the felicity which attended the prodi gals re-
