The true Democrat., 1857-05-26
From the Baton Rouge Advocate. The Union of the Graces.

| The public interest demands the sacrifice of individual feelings and sympathies, if no great principles are put at hazard. In suggesting g union of the old line whigs with the American party in the struggle for the restoration of the principle growing out of the doctrines of our revolutionary era, we do not propose to drive off those true. hearted men, those genuine friends of true democracy, who turn with loath- ing from the acts of the faction which has ren. dered itself infamously immortal by its acts during the last session. There Is a necessity tc unite with us to drive these Vandals from the capltal-to expose the secret machinery which now instigates tyranny. Let there be union of all conservative elements all true hearted citizens against the faction which is ruling on Y to ruin.
 We clip the above from late New Orleans paper, which still sticks to Sam," despite his torlorn fortunes, and still has reverence for his character, notWll hstandng the edict of Outlawry the people pronounced against him last fall.- It is the programme of Know Nottingham fol the next canvass. It invites, with generosity and hospitality heretofore ignored, the co-ope- ration of all sizes and sorts of men; grey beard ed old-liners, pa1Uenue patriots, and dissatisfied outs to make family cause against the ascen- dancy of the democracy, whom 1t accuses of | hl9h crimes and mlsdemeanorS against the peace and dignity of the State.
 If Prof. Babnet's comet does not, as has been learnedly predicted, smash earth into chaos, and along with it all the nicely conned contri- vances and neatly laid plans of men, we will behold the outcome of this fraterniZation of all the tag rags of discontent. It is quite mpossi- ' ble at present even to surmse within what limits the vengeful works of the wroth minded brotherhood will be restrained No doubt however, they will expatriate few "Dutch and Irish" to the other side of Jordan," and make sundry chronological examinations not altogether la Spurzheim upon the crania oi 1 those democrats whose organ" of patriotism isn't inspired with due regard for the Imma- culate conception of St. Sam.
 But to Le serious, Know Nottingham has been the gainer largely of late from the intrigues and corruptons of iusons, and doubtless is eager to acquire power in this State by the same methods and means which has promoted its re- cent success. It fused in Connecticut, without a semblauce even of pludish remorse, with the l black republicans. Throughout the entire north 1t cordially affiliates with all those fac 1 tons which scorn and hate the constitution | because Il guarantees the safety and permanence ! of the institutions of the south.
 Tn PehnSYlVatla Ono, and Massachusetts the fellowship has been sanctifed and officially promulgated by their joint conventions. There Is no locality in the north in which the faintcst antagonism is breathed by either of these fac 1 tons against the other.
 | Know Nottingham then, Is the coadutor and rghthanded ally of black republcanism-and evidenced h the late St. Louis election for mayor an alarming featy to the stipulatons of the agreement by which they were made one- Shoulder to shoulder they stand menacingly upon the threshold of our insttutons-and will any democrat invite further stride of in- vasion by putting faith in the seductive whis- pers of the less manly brothers? It Is an old trick, decrepid from age and smoothe from use, to SOW strife and reach victory through discon- tent, but all the arts and appliances Sam may use to cajole democrats into support of his pre- tentlous principles will De vain.
