Under the above head the Daily Aevs,
one Of the Democratic organs OF this city, 8
few days since gave the public the benefit
OF the following opinions IS to The Scott
County DemocF aey. We submit iha, It te ia
some "mighty truths" aud no better evi-
dance can be given that they arc truths
than that afforded by the wincing Of the sub
jects as displayed 10 the Democrat yester
day morning. The News thinks lis party il
acursed by being ridden with few, whit
lack every quality Of leadership, who pos
sess no motive outside OF the pures, selfish
ness, who consider the Democratic orssni
cation Of no further use than to hoist them
selves into petty office, who would sci
themselves and the entire party to the Dew
for the merest Official emoluments.n Thu
il pretty plain talk, anyhow. The Demo
crat thinks the editors OF the News are pre-
pairing to tarn Republican. On the conrs-
~, they "ewear eternal feslty to true Ma
donal DeEoerscy," and declare themselves
thoroughly Democratic" We are afraid
ON venerable nei9hhor Of the Demoorst viii
have to acknowledge their conpanionship
whether he likes to OF not But hear The
News.

The publisher of Democratic Weekly
lately started in Davenport, and one that
promised to do good service IN the cause Of
Democracy among 8 class hitherto reached
only by Republican influences, is about TO
fail, for lack of support.
God deliver US from the tender Gersiss
OF Scott County Democracy. We sre thor
oughly Democratic-we love its principles
I've have always fought and shall ever
6ght under the standard first reared By the
God inspired statesmen Of the eighteenth
century; bat for that palsied, craven, fos-
silized fogyisn, which sspiFes to the leader
ship Of Democracy In this section, and pro.
d1ces no more than lifeless paraiyses az
the entire party, we entertain Gully the most
thorough contempt The Democratic party
considered in relation 10 its elements, is
sound, consistent ana generous. bat it is
cursed by being ridden with few, who
lack every quality oflesdevship, WAC possess
NO motive outside OF the purest sslfshnsss,
who consider the Democratic organization
Of no further use ihSn 10 host themselves
into petty once. who would sell themselves
and the entire party to the Devil for the
msrest oticial emoluments.
Controlling the action of The psrty by
packed csucusses and schersing cKQnes-
prcssrating everything 10 the designs ofthe
narrowest and most inexcusi5le seifshnsss,
they have succeedediu accomplishing moth
ing but stolid paralysis throughoa, the
Democratic ranks.
In every convocation in which they have
had part, they biased representation. In
every scheme or policy they form from their
narrow views, have produced only disastrous
defeat. In every measure, they have demon.
strsted only their utter iueapacity to con-
ceiye beneficial projects, or to devise meas
ures whose results shalt concentrate the
elements of the party, and unite them Tor
victory
