THE DEMOCRATIC EDITOR 3 soLILoQUY.

The cultivated classes can never relish the
low slang of the bar-rOom; the conscientious
can never Join in abuse of any race created by
the common Father of us all tho consistent
can never proclaim liberty to all The inhabitants
of the land, and ut the same time rejoice in the
bondage OF millions; the disciple Of Washing
ton and Jefferson can never do anything to
extend slavery, which those great patriots
longcd to see entirely abolished.

the place to make voters, and the slang ans
werS the purpose. We cannot afford to be
particular. Your nice mon, who want every
thing in Sucl fine taste, don't count up. We
want the numbers. You may have the silk and
satin in welcome. Conscientious There is

Such notions may be all well enough but
they will not do for us. We must run upon

noses; and your concieRtious men may be all
Just right, but they don't count up. We let
them go. vote is Il vote; and we want the
votes that CONT. man may cultivate his
conscience until it is as tender as the apple of
his eye, and still lie has but one vote and that
we can afford to lose.
Consistency That is enough to mako
horse laugh. This Republican editor must
have been brought up by hand. Some old
auntS had the training of him. They had Bet

fellow will find himself wofully behind the
times. The man who undertakes to stand on

independence bell. Every sentimental novice
must have time over the old bell Inscription,
BUT inc men who whimper about that inscription
are the few. We don't look for them. We
expect nothing Of them. They don't count I'D.
Besides, the niggerS are not inhabitants. The
supreme Court will soon settle that question.
Judge fancy is host. We have made a
grand move III getting the Supreme Court to
help us. Tie Republicans may kick, but what

AS TO Washington and Jefferson, eve don't
speak 1t out,) we consider them--as lead and
buried. We can put their names into our
speeches and Fourth OF July resolutions, but
Their principles are all ont of date. How little
