CT The idea that the Democratic
party is to be crushed by the contempti-
BILE isms Of the day, is superlatively
insulting to the intelligence of the Amer
lean people. The experience of past
struggles has demonstrated that when
ever Democracy has met antagonistic
principles it has invariably triumphed.
1t has only been in cases where the Tags
aud ends of all parties and isms have
been united without any platform of
principles, and in some instances with
the pledge to leave Democratic measures
undisturbed, that Democracy has been
temporarily defeated but the rccupera-
tive energies Of the party, and the in
trinsc value of its principles, have inva-
riably rallied the people around it upon
their sober second thought"
In the recent elections in the North,
we see nothing to cause dismay in the
Democratic ranks. Its vote, magnifi-
cent in numbers, infinitely superior to
that of any other party, and almost equal
to that of Know-nothingism, Free-soil-
ism, and Abolitionism combined, stand
in solid column--an earnest and pledge
of Presidential triumph that will utterly
overthrow the factionists and render nu-
gatory their further opposition.

LATEST IMPROVED
CORN AND cob MILL.
Young America Excelsior.

HN 1E attention of the Farmers of
d. Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MIL. for Crushing and
Grinding Corn aud Cob Meal--llorse feed gen
erally-and Meal from Shelled Corn.
10 is now well known that all animals arc
improved in every respect by the use OF ground
food because OF its more easy and complete
digestion.
II is now well known that working animals
for the same reason, are kept in good condition
AZ les cost, by the use Of food so prepared.
But while these principles OF true ec9nofsy are
so generally understood, many have been un-
willing toprocurc suitable Mills, because oftheir
expensive neutrality-suspicious. showing
that the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before

with the two main portions Of the Mill In
grinding for the use of an average sized farm
VIII wear smooth and become useless IN about
two years among such ia the t" Little Giant

In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ

that wear OUT being two detached rings. cast

minutes at a cost ofonly SO.
We name among the other advantages this
Mill possesses over the other Portable Iron Mills
in use, that the regulating Of the fineness OF
grinding Is done by simply turning one central
set screw. The meal instead Of being scattered
around az in other mills IS brought out at ono
spout and no weight Is required on the rearend

Ex~ We have received letter from
our highly esteemed friend, DIR. VIM.
BREWER, of this county, from which we
infer that some misapprehension exists
as to the published proceedings Of Dem
ocratic meeting purporting to be held at
Poolesyille, on Saturday, the 9th instant.
The DIR. complains that his name APP
pearcd to the proceedings as published
without his authority. BE this as it may,
the proceedings published were received
by us from the usual source, and if we
had not published them, it would have
been an exception to the uniform prac-
tice in such cases.

NATIONAL WHIGs.-There is but one
course now left for the National Wings
to pursue incorporating Presidential
contest, and that is to throw their strength
with the Democracy. Those Wings who
are locking to a separate organization
will only allow themselves to be destroyed
in detail; while, if they should act with
the Democracy, they would only be fol-
lowing the example of CLAY and WEB
sTER, who did not hesitate to do SO in
1850, when the great bodyof the north
ern Wings were thoroughly demorahzed.
Such is the view taken of tke future by
Southern Wings, like TooMBs, STEPHENS,
Preston, and others. The issues now
at stake are opposition to religious pro-
scription and exclusive suffrage, aud the
most energetic support Of the Constitu-
tional rights Of the States The idea Of
any party expecting to aid such issues
by an organization separate from the
Democratic party is manifestly delusive
idea, Experience has well established
thisj and never before has the fact APP
peared more indispatable than at present.

re We publish to-day the proceed
ings of the County Democratic Conven-
ton which met in this place, on Satur-
day last. The very best feeling pervaded
the deliberations Of that body, and though
there were slight differences of opinion
upon subjects of minor Importance, yet
there was manifest desire on the part of
every delegate to sacrifice mere individ-
ual opinion to enlightened policy, This
is right. 1t is what is expected from
every Democrat-from every patriot.
Men, it is true, should ever assert the
privilege of independence of sentiment.
This is the right and the characteristic of
freemen; but in view of the absolute ne
cessity of union and concert of action
when battling for measures which will
affect the destinics of a whole nation, it
still further becomes the imperative duty
of each ana all to willingly sacrifice
mere individual preference, and join in a
common band of brotherhood for the at
tainment ola common end. This feeling,
we sincerely trust and believe, animates
the breast of every Democrat in the
county. If we are to judge from the
action of this Convention, this is the sem
timent of Montgomery Democracy; and
we are rejoiced at it, for it augurs well
for the triumph of constitutional princi-
pies.

ES- Spring has at length burst upon
US with its incipient glories. Whether
it is that we find so much sympathy in
the many faces that we meet, made happy
by the same sweet influence, or whatever
else may be the reason, we never take
our morning walk at this delightful sea-
son, without leaping in our heart.
which, from all we can gather by dream
or by revelation, has a touch in it Of
Paradise. The air rushes past our tenn
pies with grateful softness, and every
face that passes us has the open, inhaling
expression, which is given by the simple
joy of existence. The sky has the deep
est clearness; the clouds are winnowed
in white curves, looking like white shells
inlaid on the arched Heavens and freshly
do summer fancies crowd into the brain
with the summer softness of the sunshine
and air. The mood is rare in which the
sight Of human faces docs not give us
pleasure. 1t is curious occupation to
look upon them as they pass, and study
their look and meaning, and wonder at
the Providence Of God, which can pro-
vide in this crowded world an object and
an interest for all.
With what a singular harmony the
machinery Of society goes on; so many
minds, each with its peculiar cast and
its positive difference from its fellow, and
no discord audible above the hum of each
days revolution. We cannot help feel
ing religious thrill, as we pass face af-
Ter face, with this thought in our mind,
and see each one earnest and cheerful,
each one pressing onswith his own object
without waiting or caring for the equal
ly engrossing object of the other. The
man of business presses on with an abb
sorbed look caring only to thread his
way rapidly along the street. The stu
dent strides by with the step of exercise,
his lips parted to admit the pleasant air
to his refreshed lungs and his eye wan
dering with bowildered, pleasure from OBJ
ject to object. The schoolboy looks visit
fully up and down the street, and fingers
till the last stroke of the bell summons
him tar1ily in. The womsnish school
girl, with her veil coquettishly drawn
still firts with her boyish admirer, though
it was " after nine" and the child, with
its soiled satchcl and shining face, loiters
seriously along the way, making acquaint-
ance with every dog, and picking up
every stone on his unwilling way. The
spell of the atmosphere is universal, and
yet all keep on their several courses, and
the busy harmony of employment goes
steadily and unbrokcnly on. How rare
ly we turn upon ourselves and remember
how wonderfully we are made and gov
erned

Es9- 1t is remarkable fact that there
is not a Southern State now in which the
Wing party retains and maintains It's Or
ganization as Wing party. In all of
them there is band of true-hearted
Wings, who are ready to rally under the
Democratic banner in opposition to Know
nothingism and Black Republcanism.
The result in the South then will be, that
the Wing party, as such, will cease to
exist, and the flower of that party will
cooperate with the Democracy to defeat
the unhallowcd combination. We look
with unwavering confidence to the COM
plete overthrow of these factions in all the
South. In the North we already dis
cover that our Democratic friends are
animated with fresh courage, and in
spircd with new hopes. The Democrat
ic party never occupied prouder posi-
ton than at present. 1t has every in
ducement to put forth all its energies /;
its nationality is made more and more
manifest in every contest; it is destined
to continue to stand as barrier against
fanaticism, faction and federalism, and to
continue to save the constitution from vi
olation, aud the Union from harm. In
the Presidential contest which will short
ly open, we are glad to record the fact,
that in every State will be found multi
tudcs of National Wings who will show
their devotion to principles by repudiating
and resisting the secret foe that seeks to
seduce them into its iniquitous organiza-
ton.

RAp1p DrcLrNr.-One wear nro the

RAPID DEcLINE.--One year ago the
secret organization threatened to carry
everything before them north of Mason
and Dixon's line. They took the COM
plete control of the immense interests of
States, corporations. and municipalities !;
announced their indiscrimiuate proscrio-
ton of native American Catholics and
adopted citizens, who were Protestants !;
and proceeded to fulfil their pledges of
helping to ''rule America with Ameri-
cans" After a few months of trial,
they are being put before the bar of
public opinion again, and the result is
their decided and almost entire over
throw. Their monster majorities are
falling to pieces. Their leaders are
being hurled from the positions they dis
graced. Their attempts to govern have
been failures, and their failures have re-
suited in adding new burthens upon an
over-credulous constituency. Recent
results show an enormous gain on the
side of constitutional principles, and that
Know-nothingism is dying out all over
the Union.
Never before has party grown up
and gone down SO suddenly as this
We have, however, seen but the begin
ming of the end. These results are but
the harbinger of the good times that are
coming; and we do not doubt that the
next Presidential election will throw the
trumpery of this disgraceful farce into
the mass of discarded lumber with other
exploded experiments upon the credulity
of the people.
