BSr 1t is not often that we can rejoice
with the Democratic party, and therefor,
we are disposed when au opportunity Of
fers, to take full advantage of it.
Our opponents are now indulging in 4
ts demm over the apostacy from our ranks
and accession to theirs, of certain self es
timated prominent members of the Amer.
lean party. We are with them and share
their joy in this; and in the midst of thi,
self-gratulation over these puppies return.
ed to their vomit, we open the book o.
our remembrance and ind an entry there
made one year since By the Democr attic
press and party. to the effect that these
same second hand proselytes had Joined
the American party from the most selfish
and mercenary motives; that their p,ofes'
sions Of eternal fidelity to our. principle.
would leave with the balance of power
and they absolve themselves from theil
VOWS of allegiance at any dininution o.
their chance ofreward. We were warneo
by the former associates Of these men, by
those who had acted with them through
the previous campaigns of the Democratic
party, and knew them well, that their
sycophancv only tqualled their treachery
and their impudeat assumption of merit.
and virtues never possessed, outwcighed

Thus warned, We have watched. W.
have seen these men the most cnthusias.
tic in their denunciation Of political cor.
ruption, resorting to the most contempti-

scramble for spoils and Office, the noisiest
in their professions of fidelity, and the frs,

ocratic party, every rascaly project that
villainy could devise orruf6anism execute,
and yet returning, when these frauds were
more fully proven than their words could
prove, to the bosom of this corrupt fac
ton. The mask which concealed these
men, which yelled their true char acters
has not been torn from-them, they have
laid it aside. They donot claim that the
American party has violated . principle
or abandoned position. Nor will they
claim that the Democratic party has

changed but for the worse since. their first
apossacy. But without reason or expla-
nation, they change siles with the parties
and show themselves as shameless as they
have proven themselves false.
But they have left Us, and We regard
their small loss as our great gain. Take
them, gentlemen, into your party and
make much of fthem. The principles they
now endorse with such JUNCTION, one year
since they denounced. The idols they
now worship, they then cursed and over
threw. Tho politicians they now emulate
and extol, they then slandered and vili6ed
The I'll th they now wallow in, they then
with holy horror abjured But they have
drunk the bitter waters ofrepentance, and
turned from their error. You have quaf-
fed of the fabled Lethe, and forgotten their
treachery. This is as it should be. De.
mocracy should no longer be separated
from its demagogues. Nought but de-
feat can now sever them from you, or al
ienate their affections. Like the Alpine
vulture, they follow the political armies
to feed upon carcasscs and gorge them
selves with carrion, indif erent upon whom
they prey.
Honor them, for they have disgraced
you. Cherish them, they have insulted
you. Confde in them, they have once
betrayed you Follow them, they will
sell you for any paltry Office to the next
short lived popular faction that may
spring into existence and bid for their SER
vices. Gloria an ercelsis-take them,
Democrats, they are worthy Of front
rank in your army. The sewers Of Lon
don add to the volume Of waters in the
Thames, and such additions on your down.
ward course will increase the filth and fet-
idness of Acherop.
