THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL coyyKsnos-PuMIo KxPxcrA
There never moment in the history of the demo-
cratic party, or time when the masses of the people
looked 10 the sitting Of national convention with
conhdg expectation than when II about TO assemble
at Charleston in April last There time when
such confidence wickedly, wantonly and shame
fully bctrayed-whcn reasonable expectations were SO
msdy blasted in the results produced by It's action
It's proceedings find no parallel in disgrace and degrada
ton since the empire Of the New World sod at
tion for money
The democratic party for its steady devotion to the
principles OF the constitution, tho caholcy OF its
creeds, for it's grand radical analysis and its just and
,oy conservatism, had the confidence Of the
ana wrung unwilling admiration from its hereditary oppo
nents and all good men looked 10 in this the evil day Of

pie, 30 many blessings. Tho whisper Of beauty hashed
IN the gaeries-the aged bow their gray hairs In symp
thetc and deep devotion-levity Is humbed in silence
and even lurking fraud is abashed and for hiding
place. But the prayer over, and band Of conspira.

the board Of public pauper, at the lowest bidder Its
proceedings bear evidence Of deliberate and long che
rshed design, Of combination and conspiracy to tic up
mnorities against them and leave those free who
for them and thus attain by fraud or force particular
result regardless OF popular sentiment Of consequences
which might follow. The ruling faction had snuifed up
