Republican Cities.
II v.s. conmon remark il political clF-
cles dazsnsshs life of the Wing Party. thai

This was mainly owing % the fsce that il me
Whig party taking Issue with the Denocra-
cy principally upon money matters. found
its greatest strength in the great CONNER
cial ceaters; while the inhabitants of the
agricultural regions. as general thing. were
arrayed against them.
The Republican party on the contrary.
has thus far found It's strongest support m
the country, while the cities have very gener-
ally adhered to the bogus Democracy. In
fact that Democracy has absorbed a very
large share of the old Wing leaders ofother
days-and has also incorporated into its
creed the very feature which genuine De-
nnocracy revolts at With loathing and sbhor-
renee, and which it used to charge upon
the Wings as their organic siH-mainiy .
disposition to legislate for the projection Of
MONEY rather than Haen-setting higher
value upon capital than upon labor. 1t
seems in very truth to have adopted the
identical line of policy which it used to
charge upon Webster. when its leading edi-
tors and stuMpers5 attributed to him thessen-
timent, Take care of The rich aad the rich aDiis
take care Of the poor Whether Webster
ever uttered such sentiment or not. De-
mocracy is now carrying it into effect; hay-
ing borrowed that aud whatever else was
most hunkerish and AntisRepublicaa, in
the old Federal creed of early times. We
say borrowed, but that:is not correct per-
haps, for having adopted the old Federal
Wing leaders-Buchanan, Toombs, Ste
phens, de-, they probably have the rightful
care and custody of those old and odious
relics; and are now using them as their
own rightful stock in trade. The bogus
Democracy thus reinforced By all the most
hunkerish elements of the old Wing and
Federal parties, has been strongest for sew
eral years past in those identical cities and
business centefs where the old Democracy
of Jackson's time were weakest, while the
hard listed yeomanry of the inland districts
have gradually become estranged from its
creed-forsakan its standard, and are now
the most. earnest upholders Of the Republi-
can party. But the elections of the past
few months demonstrate most clearly that
while the country retains all its former Re-
publican zeal and, fire, the cities are very
generally becoming disguised with the Pro-
Sfaveryism, the hunkerism and the un-
fathomable corruptions of the sham Democ-
racy, and have concluded 10 abandon it to
tie fate it has SO well deserved. In proof
of this we ask our readers to examine atten-
lively the list of Republican cities below,
and call to mind all they know of the former
political history of zach. Is it not a good
ly array? and does it not speak in trumpet
tones of the coming doom of the false and
perjured Democracy?y From Aroostook in
the far down east, to the golden gate of the
Pacific the Democracy of Buchanan has
been repudiated and cast away, as thing
too foul and abominable to be longer tolera-
ted. Surely the world does move, and as
GalliIeo said to the Pope and his cardinals
''all the powers of hell cant stop it!'' See
the Republican Pyramid.
