the Louisville Democrat-one Of the most Jealous
supporters Of the caus; Of modern Democracy-th
following significant article, which comes to the res
Of the North from the evil effects Of the contin

good in Nazareth. We commend it to such Of our
Democratic readers may have placed too much
confidence in the dcnunciation Of the North. which
characterized the recent Presidential canvass. We
commend it specially 10 the Enguirer. Eramiger.
and other Democratic papers IN this region. who in
