TO JOHN CARROLL WALSH, Esq,
Chairman Dem. Conn., Hartford county, Md.


Chairman Dem. Com, Hartford county, Md
The Boston Courier of the 18th gives an account
of great meeting held in that city TO receive the
Hon, Arson BurIingame. 1t states that there were
from fifteen TO twenty thousand persons in and about
the meeting. The Courier says that Mr.. Burlingames
speech consisted of confession that he had acted
wrongly in becoming ''duelist.'
IF that is all the constituents of Mr.. Buringame
have TO find fault with that gentleman for, we can
give him certificate of exemplary conduct that
score. If the Courier has denounced him as a man
who had acted like the most arrant coward in the
world we would have some in it; but
the charge sIluded to is simply laughable A poor
wretch, who after he was guilty of the temerty of
putting forth card, fed from the city of Washing
ton and could be induced to come near that spot
again under any circumstances, but amused himself
by addressing Abolition meetings at safe AMI
venient distance not as far, however, the Clifton
House. Sauanndh Georgian.
No Success Desired, If AccompnnIed with DIS honor
The following sentiments from the Pennsulpaniar
will meet with warm response from every Demo
cratic heart. IT there are any who would for a mo-
ment talter and make sacrifices for supposed expe
dency, let them crush the unholy thought in a. mo.
ment. The Democratic party have presented to the
country candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency the moral and intellectual ustre of whose
characters worthy of the sternest DAYS of our
Republic. They stand upon platform of princi-
pies which has given peace and prosperity to our
beloved country for seventy years. They are known
of al men. Under the benign influence of the Con-
slution as administered by Democratic statesmen,
the world have beheld the progress of nation with
wonder and amazement. If, now, the people have
become deluded by lies and imposture as 10 break
up, to deny their brethren of the South their lust
and constitutional ghts let them do so but let no
stain rest upon the Democratic party. Ours is party
of principles others oil eXpediency. If dissolution
of The contederacy shall follow the election of Ere
mont (and God only knows, in the present excited
stale of AFFAIRS what may occur) let the Democracy
have the satisfaction of knowing that to the latest
hour they true to all obligations imposed bv the
solemn agreement between the States. The PENN
! SylUdniln says:
The Democratic candidates are presented to the
public with sincerity of purpose which makes them
respected. Whatever opinion may be entertained in
reference to the nominees of party there is the
confident felt by the community that there
will be deception practised to who are to be the
candidates at subsequent state of the political can.
In such matters, at least, the Democratic par

1t to abase itself by yielding its honor 10 notions of
availability. The nominations of it's candidates are
held matters of sacred validity and can ONLY be
abrogated for crime. or departure from principles
This elevated trait in its organizations exalts it far
above the sinister combinations which are now known

These latter political bodies are regulated neither
by motives of honor, impulses of patriotism.
Hence, their nominations by Conventions are frauds

which dooms all Opposition" to the Democratic par

visited with condemnation Such will be the fate of
the recent nominations made by the American and
