The Democratic Paasy.

The following admirable reasons for remain
ing true to th> DeuocratlC party appeared,
some time sine, II the NaysJl!Ie Eapress in
reply to query of Know Nothing paper
"Why should any Democrat still adhere to
such q party The E:rpress, in noticing
this query, says:
We VIII try to answer Because it is the
party of the constitution; because it is the
party which has at All times resisted and baff-
led the designs of those who, whether insidi-
ously or openly, made war against its wise
provisions; because it is the party which
would preserve this Union by preserving the
constitution upon whch-this Union rests; be-
cause IT Is the party which defends the equal
rights of the citizen and makes no war upou
his religious belief; because it is the party
whose policy alone has beea carried into the
practical legislation of the government, and
proved by long experience 10 be wise and ben
efcal ecause it is the party which repealed
the alien and sedition laws; because it is the
party which crushed the power of the United
States Bank, and repealedthe bankrupt laws
because it is the party which recommended
and enacted that wise financial measure, the
sub-treasury system, by which the govern
nert for years has been able to control its own
revenues without the loss of single cent; -
because it is the party which enacted the rev
enue tariff of / SIG; because it is the party
which, Though ever opposed by those who
now constitute the know-N"thiug party, and
all other factious parties. has never been fac
tious itself, and has survived the wreck of all
parties; because it is party which is alone
national, and stands like wall of adam: Mt
to resist even INTO death, all attacks upon
our gl' rious Constitution and Union, come
from what quarter they may. whether from
Abolition, traitors in the North, or their recent
allies in the South, the secret, oath-boun or
der of Know Nothings aud because it is the
party under whose administration of the gov
ernmert our nation has grown aud prospered
until it has become the. greatest, most happy,

One of the most pleasing things connected
with the present campaign is the fact that so
many of the prominent Old Line Wings are

dclphia-a man of wealth, influence and in

most prominent Wings in the country, was at
Cincinnati during the Convention, work king
with all his energies to insure the nomination
of MIR. Buchanan.
