That the party styling itself Democratic
has repudiated the principles of Washington,
Jefferson, Madison and jackson.
That it is purely sectional party, its
whole policy being shaped with Q view to
favor the schemes of the slavery propagan-
dists.
That its candidate for the Presidency was
chosen with sole reference to his unswerv-
ing faithfulness in the service of the Slave
Power through forty years of his public life,
and that his record on this head is pro-
nounnced complete by the leading organs of
ti.at power in the South.
That it justifies the outrages perpetrated
upon the people Of Kansas, and is now
straining every nerve, both in and out of
Congress, to consummate the iniquity by
making Kansas slave state.
That it has entirely lost the vital element
of Democracy, and now seeks to ally itself
with any faction, however desperate or un-
,priIcipled, that will enable it to give lasting
supremacy to the Slave Power over all the
rights and interests of the Free States.
That while it hypocritlcally talks of the
" dignity of labor" it seeks to bring all free
laborers down to the level of slaves at the
South.
In fine, that it is in every aspect libel
upon genuine Democratic principles.

MONDAY MORNING, AUG. A. 1856.
IL Not Coming.

Colonel j. H. George, the gentleman Of
New Hampshire bosom personal and po-
litical friend of the President-to whom
was rendered the Secretaryship of Minneso-
ia, few weeks since, has concluded not to
accept the offic. The Colonel is no doubt
actuated by sagacious feeling. He sees
that by the time he could be comfortably
settled in his Office at st. Paul, an interest
ing document from President Fremont would
slightly disturb his official calculations. Had
he the least idea that any chance remained
for the election of Buchanan, he would no
doubt have been son hand" ere this.
We have always heard Colonel George
spoken of as sagacious politician, and now
we know him to be one.

The Argume ntum de Dog.

"Your candidate eats dogs, sir !" screech-
ed Buchanan man at Republican. The
debater stopped in the intensity,of his logic.
and clutching his knee-pan with his out
spread fingers, and looking upwards watch
fully for the effect of his words, screamed
again, "Fremont eats dogs, sir %
The argument was fair one, considered
as proceeding from a representative of the
community of Dogs. We do not know what
answer could be made to that argument,
save the great reason Of necessity. But
would that suffice 2
Suppose hound to sit on his hams, with
his tail between his legs, and his head dis
mally protruded from under table in a
corner, and to bay out of his melancholy
throat, John G. Fremont, you ate my un-
cle."
With the image of his digested relatives
spare ribs between tho Pathinder's teeth,
and the last wag of his tail fresh in his me-
mory ere the Explorer broiled it in the
Rocky Mountains, it would, to say the
east OF 1t, -De crowdlng mourner, TO ask
Carlo to vote for our candidate.
"My sagacious friend, prick up your ears
TO the necessities of Fremont's case"
9he hound flaps his aural apparatus in in
consolable negation of this doctrine of ne
'cessity. The shakes translated into the
language of .Milps Logic, mean that while
there were men to be ate, his uncle should
have been spared.
Good logic for hound-suitable also ~
bayed by Buchanan man. The hounds o
slavery hate any eating which symbolizes tn,
cracking of eir November bones, between
the jaws Of Republicanism. Moreover
while there are lots Of men to be ate-poli-
tically ate up-rich, juicy Africans, spic.
why should, why should gentleman trea
with disrespect the memory of the King Q
the Cannibal Islands, and simply call 70
