THE .sAr1oNAL DEMOCRACY

il
We hear great deal about the " National De
mooney Of the NORTH, and the dependence Of the
South for the vndicstion Of her constitutional rights
continuance in power Of the aforesaid National |
Democracy !" but whenever We apply the crucible Of
trth to that Democracy" and reeur to what it has
done in times past and what it il doing in the pre-
sent We find, clearly and Enthusiastically, that 10 re-
gard for the rights Of the South, organic or other
wise, has dictated the vocierous protestations Of
friendship Of which we have heard much, and that
when anything likely to prove OF substantial advan-
tage to our section comes up it is uneeremoniously
thrown overheard, or given the goby with as much |
nonehaIanee gentleman would dismiss vagrant |
from his door. -'
There is "National Democracy in Ohio. At
least 20 say the administration papers Of the South
We presume, too, that it Is as good and genuine
Democracy as can be found in any Of the Northern
States. The Ohio Statesman claims to be national
Democratic journal. It advocated the election of
Mr.. Buchanan with marked zeal and ability. Nov,
however, its tune Is radically changed. As there was
chance that the slavery clause Of the Lecompton con-
itution might be adopted by the citizens of Kansas
and that thereby the South might reap substantial
benefit by the admission Of another slave State it,
like Senator Douglas broke loose from the traces that
bound it to the socalled National Democracy, de-
nounced the action Of the Constitutional Convention
in nnmeasured terms, and declared its determination
to wage incorporating war against the reception OF
Kansas into the Union sovereign State under tie
recently framed organic law, whether the obnoxious
clause was ratified or rejected! palmer showing Of
the cloven foot of feesoilism made and il
will prove lesson to the Southern people, not soon
to be forgotten if they not beyond the influence
Of the salutary teachings OF experience.
| Not content with defining lis own position Of IN
mitigated hostility to the South involved in the
determination of this Kansas question, the Ohio
Statesman proceeds to show that large number Of
the irrational" Democratic journals Of that com.
monwealth not only agree with it in sentiment and
opinion, but act with it cordially and promptly! In
recent number the Statesman gave list Of forty
nine " national Democratic papers that, to use ita
own language, stand undaunted in this crisis, and
contend increasingly for the great Democratic dogma
Let the People Rule" It suggests that there may b
others that have been overlooked The list is as fol

Quite formidable list Let the nationals"
the South contemplate its dimensions for while, ar
r then let their readers know how they like it.
r. The editor Of the Statesman concludes with I'll
q following significant remarks:
This list does not include those which are !" Ua
ing for the facts" The fact that the great princp
of the Nebraska act and the Cincinnati platform
Z popular sovereignty-was contravened by the L
P compton Convention, was enough for us, and 1t W
enough for nine hundred and nnetynine out of eve
o. thousand Democratic voters in our State.
We opiue the Statesman is not mistaken in its es
mate of the feelings the people of Ohio entertain
N wards the South. We have little doubt " nine hu
dred and ninetynne out of every thousand Democrat
voters in our (that) State would be pleased, rath
I than grieved, if immedicable ruin overlook Il
R Southern States, provided their pecuniary nteres
d. were not injured thereby.
