of the people upon. 1t is also true, tina
this party will present rs many false
side issues as possible in order that ting
real ones may be covered up. Atten.
tien will be called off to banks and de,
faulting T~reasurers, in order to lull the
public feeling on the question of Slave
ry,"
The above intelligence, Gf so it may
be called) from the Register, is like the
Irishman's storm, "the most tremendous
considering the size of the town." he
had ever known in the vicinity. After
the glorious triumph Of the Democracy
in the Presidential contest-its more
recent victories in Kentucky, Tennes-
see and Missouri, and the distractions of
his own party, the Register man wakes
up, opens his eyes and exclaims in a
tone of surprise, ''there still exists a
faction calling itself Democratic p
which, he goes on to say, breaches the
Slavery doctrine, and which has no 9TH
err issue to claim the suffrages of the
people upon" IF he had stopped there,
it might have sounded very well to those
who imagine the whole scope of govern
ment is special legislation turned upon
a few negroes, and that the chief end of
the Republican party is, to glorify
Chase, and act as footman for the run
Always, who under the Constitution their
Governor, without any qualms of con-
science, swears to support, can never
exercise the privileges of freemcn, even
though the great Giddings, the Chief of
all aCheesedom," declares it is Good
like to elevate to an equality with the
whites" "Preaches the Slavery, doc
trine !" Shades of Dan. Sharper, once
more from the Court House steps, beg
of your white "bredren" to come out
from behind the pillars, and from around
the corners, and meet side by side with
you the real issues. Words speak some
times, but actions speak louder. We
would hardly know what is meant in
the above by "sid: issues did not the
Register man acknowledge them to 1a
''broken Banks and D~efaulting Troasu-
rers." His party have always called
these questions ''side issues but since
the days of the National Bank, when
the stentorian voice of old Gen. Jack
son rang through their trembling ranks,
'the faction calling itself Democratic"
has assumed the responsibility to raise
the veil and reveal secrets which render
it necessary for just such comments as
the Register deals out weekly to its rea-
ders, to hide the arrows left sticking in
the sides of the Republicans, and hence
arc SO bitterly complained OF as tside
issues.' a..
We stand where we have ever stood,
with a party which grows strong with
age, and we intend to charge upon the
party which, while locally, and, from the
signs of the times. but temporarily DOM
stands amid empty Treasures,
FRUSTRATED and tumbling Banks, De-
faulting Treasurers, heavy and increas-
ed Taxes, fred with a wild fanaticism
which never realizes that "charity be-
gins at home" and fighting like a vic
tic of delerium tremens, with the phan-
toms of a disorderod brain, and crying
amid the ruins it has wrought, "Slave-
ry is the great issue of the present leg-|
islation." Nothing has satisfied them
since the foundation of our government,
they stand under their chosen stars, the
national constellation torn apart and
waving above them,
Like yondcr bia sted boughsby lightning rircn,
Perfection. beauty, life, they never know,
But frowh on all that pass, a monument of woe.'
"a 1t is now certain that the Demo
Gratis will have a good working majority
in both houses of Congress, over all OPT
position. What a result, compared with
the predictions of Kansas screechers,
&C., a year ago! Then they were sure
of the National Executive and House of
Representatives. There was a little
doubt about the Senate, but the more
sanguine expected to have hat body
also, by election or detection. Instead
of this, ever Kentucky is going to send
a Democrat to the United States Senate
phenomenon that has not occurred
before for many years. Tennessee will
send two Democratic Senators; and, in
short, every branch of the government
is out and out Democratic. Fanaticism
has been signally rebuked. Hurrah for
the Union on the basis of the Consti-
tution-the only basis upon which it
can be maintained, now or hereafter.
