The Presidential str ugxie-Parues, Positions
We know OF nothing 80 full of warning to
the people Of this Union az the pains aud Ia
bors, the fuss and fummery, the disyustiry ex-
hibitions Of corruption and depravity, and the
motley gathering of the filthy birds of prey
aud carbon crows which attend the accouche-
mert, in these latter days, Of one Of those mo
dern political monsters known as national con-
| ventions
Fer example, the Cincinnati Convention, as
sembled for the modest purpose of debating to
the democracy of the Union their exclusive
candidate for President of the United States,
meets under the impressive auspices of pistols
and bowie knives, bludgeons and terrorism
and is graced by the company of FIVE hundred
gamblers and blacklegs, and from three to
from the stews of most Of our large cities, aud
all revelGng together as III the festivities of q
common jubilee. Such is the revolving specta-
Gle now exhibited to an insulted, enlightened
and intelligent people BY the once venerable
and high-toned democratic party. In fact this
party, go long plumiug itself as the party of
the Union and the constitution, has fallen at
length under the control of the niger drivers
of the South, as completely as the broken frag-
ments of both the old parties of the North
have sunk into the dirty schemes Of the niger
worshipping demagogues Of this section.
This Cincinnati Conference of the niger
drivers will, of course, give US high sounding
platform, full of windy distractions and un-
meaning rubbish, with which to gull and
hoodwiDk the honest yeomanIy Of the coun-
try; whereas, if the principles of this niger
drivers convention were truly expressed, they
would be given in some such platform as the
| following, to wit
Resolved That niggers, pistols bowie knives and
blu6geors the fundamental principles OF the de
cacy reconstructed under the ton Of

8. Resolved, That the killing OF contemplate Irish
waiter holding the position a Niger, Tor neglect OF
duty CT mpudepce TO democratic guest coming down
to late breakfast, is proper warning to the whole
Irish that they longer exps: to ride rough
shed over the democracy Of the Union.
A. Resolved, As the constitution, interpreted by
teachers the niger drivers has alre ady esab
Tho ~
States that squatter sovereignty is humbug, that
General Cass is huubus considerably behind the age,
and that all abolition or free Safe squatters shv AID be
expelled from Kansas if necessary, by fire and ~ord
&C., &c.
This. in whatever DISCUSSES of high sounding
verbiage the Cincinnati niger drivers de-
mocratic platform may be written-this, we
dare say, will be its proper Interpretation.
On the other hand, the niger worshippers'
platform, reduced to plain English, may be
confidently expected to read as follows =
l. Resolved That George Washington, as stakeholder
was scounf rel that Southern slavery IS the sum OF
al ynanies" that the federal constitution Is mockery
of human rights that the Union only makes the slaves
Of the slave ogachy that It must be dissolve3 that
