Modern Democracy.

Our correspondent, DE Vere," asks us to
publish his views of the Modern Democratic
Party, which he gives in cold Line Wing"
style. Although his "reminiscences are not at
present arguments of any great strength
which tend to the success of the Republican
Party in Minnesota, yet by our established
rule we are bound to give him hearing
Our friend seems bound to keep his eye upon
the old enemy.

who are the Republicans 2

The Mnnesotidn says "the Republican party was
formed to elevate the dignity Of Free Labor over
Labor"
But il this be the object of party, why do they
take up the nabobs and mionaires of the nation and
try elevate them to the highest Offices if their object
is to give dignity to Free Labor We notice another
thing and is that very few free laborers appreciate
the benev intentions of this free labor party, for
very few of them belong to it, and general thing
they regard it as great free humbug.-ft0neer
Indeed, sir! Where then did those thou
sands upon thousands of Republican votes
come from at the last Presidential election
If very few free laborers appreciate the prin-
ciples of our party, where did Fremont get
his vote in New England, the Middle States,
and the West? Was not his vote almost
wholly in the "Rural Districts ~ He did
not carry city Of any magnitude in the I'm
ion. That's where the nabobs and regular
Union Shriekers live, and there is where the
strength of your party in the North was then
and is now. You cannot and dare not deny
the fact that the laboring men of the North
the tOiling farmers-arc the men who revolt at
the idea of further allowing the Slave nabobs
of the South to rule this Nation.
And to come home. Where is the Re
publican strength in Minnesota? Is it in
the towns and cities, or out in the fields p
The fact is, Mr.. PENMAN, like all other stub
born John Bull Englishmen, you have been
reared in hatred Of our institutions, and if
you have the capacity to understand their
workings, you won't exercise it. You have
now Numbered into worse error than your
original falsehood, and the returns of the last
Presidential election prove that you AFRO try
ing to deceive your readers. For heavens
sake, "dry up" or write about some subject
you know something of or can speak the
truth upon. You have rendered yourself
quite sufficiently ridiculous already.

GOV. NIedary and the Democratic Bolt
from the Constitutional Convention.


A few days since, friend of ours from
Ohio, handed us a copy Of the New York
Times, dated as far back as the 2lst Of July.
In that issue of the Times is all editorial
which had escaped our eye, treating upon
the state of affairs then existing at the Capt.
tol in st. Paul, in which the Democratic sece-
ders from the Convention are severely CEN
sured for their course. We extract two or
three sentences
Such proceeding is unprecedented, and can be de-
Tended on no possible ground Governor Medary is an
old politician, willy and INSCRIPTIONS, who will not hes
tate any step short of ndicable crime to accomplish
a party purpose He is evidently at the head of this
outrageous scheme and remains to be seen whether he
will receive from MIR. Buchanan the rebuke which his
conduct deserves.
We are happy to have it in our power, even
at this late day, to state that the reference to
Gov. MEDARY in connection with the revo-
lutonary movement of his party Oh the 18th
of July, is unjust in every particular. In
the first place, he was absent in Ohio at the
time of its occurrence, having left before such
thing had even been dreamed Of except
perhaps in the reckless heart Of WILLIS A.
GoRMAN; secondly, he did not return until
after the seceders had taken their position
firmly; thirdly, Gov. MEDARY did not en-
dorsc their action upon his return, and we
have good reasons for believing he never has
and never will endorse it. We do not speak
without knowing something in regard to what
we are saying.
We have been, to some extent, personally
intimate with Gov. MEDARY's course since
his residence among US; and we must say,
that only in one instance have we felt it our
duty to accuse him Of playing the partisan.-
Our readers will recollect, without having
the facts recalled to their minds, to what We
refer. The fact that his course has been SO
free from that partisan spirit which we knew
before he came here he formerly posses; ed,
has been matter Of free conversation and a
matter of commentator among liberal, prac
teal men of all parties. We profess to be-
long to this class of citizens ourselves and
are always as ready to do justice to politi-
cal opponent as to friend, when improperly
assailed.
