Truly the position of the Democratic party
of the present day, is one of which every men,
Der within its ranks must feel proud. IT'S now
as in the days Of Jefferson and jackson, the
party Of the Union, of the Constitution, and Of
Law. Now, as then, it is the open and avowed
foe Of sectionalsm and fanaticism, bigotry and
intolerance. Now, as then, it bids Welcome to
the oppressed of every cline, asking only 10y
to place them on an equality with native born
citizens; and guarantees freedom Of opinion, as
well in religions as in in secular matters to one
and ALL Now, as then, it believes that "the
blessings Of government, like the dews of hea-
ven, should be dispensed upon all alike, the
high and the low the rich and the poor" 1t
has outlived all opposition in days past, as well
in days to come. Party after party linked to
all the antagonistic isms of the times, has risen
up and every device has been used sander and
vituperation have been leveled against it; and at
times even ministers in the Pulpit, have attack
ed it, but in van for the Democracy is not to
be crushed. Under the same old banner that
waved at its organization its hosts have ever
been marshaled, occasionally to suffer defeat,
but never to be CONQUERED. 1t is the party of
the AMERICAN PEOPLE, and they will not let it
be extinguished; it has gone on prOspering and
prospering, until now its measures form the
very governmental policy of the American Ma
Ilut s;o -,
an opposition President, (the Fugitive Slave
Law, signed by Milard Fillmore) remains up
on the Statute book. 1t has ever proved the
defender of our country in the time of foreign
war; and the firm friend Of all those whose
RIGHTS were trampled upon in intestine strug-
giles. No sooner had Know Nothingism raised
its hydra head in our land, than the Dcmoc-
racy, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
the Lakes to the Gulf with one voice declared
war upon it, and as fiercer grew the storm, and
the more disastrous our defeat, the firncr stood
the Democracy by their banner of civil and re-
ligous liberty; and as State upon State was be-
ing swept by the oath bound order, and when
hope had well nigh fed, the Democratic hosts
of NIrginia-hosts that neper have been defeat
ed-the 'old guard" which had never yielded,
came to the rescue and conquered and now,
but three years have passed since it's birth, and it
has been dIiven from its stronghols, and none so
poor as to do it reverence. Is it to be wonder
ed at that a large mijority of our foreign borr
citizens are members Of the Democratic party?
1t preserved their rights ingolate, and surely
they cannot well desert the good old parity
But no sooner was Know Nothingism conquer
cd, than upon its ruins throughout the entire
North, sprang up another party, equally as de-
tcstable;-onc which seeks by arousng sectiona
prejudces and local passions, to array the North
against the South-to create intestine wars be-
tween the American people A similar organ
izstion on the opposite extreme, however, also
exists in the South. 1t is against these two fac
tions--the abolitionists of the North, and the
"fire caters of the South-that the Democra-
cy are warning. Favoring neither extrem,, rem
dering eqa} anil eract justice to oH american cit
izenS, enforcing the Law of the land, it is desti
ned to achieve another triumph. 1t is a strug-
gle Of the Uaion against Soctionalism, of Prin-
ciple against Fanaticisin. No sane man can
doubt the issuo of the present contest So long
as the Democratic party "clrries the ftg and
keeps step to the music Of the Union," just so
long will it successfully triumph over and against
all opposition. Let every Democratic heart be
inspired with renewed zeal and every Demo-
cratic arm receive additional energy as he re-
fleets upon the past. Our cause is just and it
must and wW :riumpt even in Ohio--oboliion
Ohio, as she has been falsely called-the dark
horizon, are clearing away, and are alrea ly CIV
ing place to unmistakeable signs of Demo
cratic victory.
Messr. Chapman & Co., OF New Hampshire,
have leased the National Hotel, and are at pre-:
sent engaged in overhauling and renovating it
thoroughly, with a view Of soon opening it to
the public. The first class hotels here fall far
behind similar establishments in Cincinnati OF
Cleveland, so far as accommodations or comforts
are concerned; but in prices exceed them
Should you, or any of your readers design viSi-
ting Washington, | would recommend you to
stop at the kirkwood Trne it is called sec
oad class Hotel here, but those who know claim
that it is equal to any in all of its arrangements
with far more moderate charges.
There appears to be fatality attending the
banking institutions recommended as the depos-
tories of the public funds of your State, judg-
ing from the colapsing of the City Bank (recom-
mended by Gov. Chase) AMI the Ohio Life and
Trust Company (selected by your present Trea-
surer, A. P. Stone.) The future sufety of your
State funds, demands the passage, by the next
Legislature, Of an Independent Treasury Law,
The past has proven thtt Banking institutions
are not to be trusted, as depositaries Of the
State moneys.
Among the 0hioans in this city, observe
Hon. VIM. ). Groesback, member elect to the
