A TRUE PicruRE drawn by Democratic
Artist.
TIE Editor Of the Augusta Age in some
remarks on the Slidell's speech on the sus-
pension of the neutrality laws, draws the
following not overwrousht picture of the do.
ings Of the great Democratic party:
The great Democratic party Of the Union
is now absorbed in controversy which is
unworthy of itself, and which units it for
its high mission. Instead OF occupying IL.
self with great questions of national interest
calculated to promote the greatness and
glory Of the Republic all its strength
all its enersies-all its power is being wasted
(under Southern lead) In a poor wretched
and contemplate effort to rob handful Of
border settlers in a distant territory-(men OF
our own blood and who went out from our
midst)-of their commonest political rights
namely, the privilege Of determining for
themselves the character OF the domestic in-
situations under which they are to live.
