False Propheta.

False prophets have lived in all ages and
in all countries, but we doubt exceedingly
whether they were ever so numerous, or so
fruitful in false prophecies in any former
period of the worlds history as they have
been within the last sixty years in the Uni
ted States. Although the government has
been for almost half century almost en-
tirely under the exclusive control of the
Democratic party, and although no country
that the sun ever shone upon has increased
in strength and dimensions equal to this,
or has been as happy and prosperous-at
no time within that period have the fnlse
prophets failed to declare that "the country
was ruined" and "the Democratic party
about to be dissolved" We admit that the
dissolution of the Democratic party and the
ruin of the country, are synonymous-th
latter is almost sure to follow the former.
But these declarations, 80 Oft repeated, have
become as familiar to the ears of the peo'
pie, ss household words, and receive little
or no attention-while those who make
them are no longer regarded as worthy Of
belief
The Democratic party have not ruined
the country. They have made it what it
now is-great, grand, glorious, happy, free
and magnificent in the eyes Of the world
Under its auspices Louisiana was acquired
Texas annexed-California with her gol-
den treasures added-every sea has been
made to bear upon its bosom the stars and
stripes, and every patriots heart has be en-
filed with JOY at its greatness, its wealth
and its power. Railroads, canals and tele-
graphs cover its face like network, and com,
meree and the arts and sciences flourish to
an unprecedented extent The original
thirteen infant colonies have been converted
into thirty-seven gigantic sovereign inde-
tendencies under the Constitution Of the
Federal Government, and excite the admi'
ration of the patriotic world.
The Democratic party is not dissolved
the assertions of the opposition to the con
traFy, notwithstanding. For sixty years il
has had its trials and triumphs, but has
ouk-riddeR every opposing Storm am con-
Quoted the ship Of State in safety through
all the threatened dangers, No seeds Of
decay are impls nted in its system-no signs
of dissolution are visible, and none can be-
for il Is composed of that indestrnctible ma
terial which never dsoays-never dies.
The Democratic party has outliyed every
opposing organization that ever rose up
against 10 in this country, and it will outlivs
all the base factions and coalitions which
may be formed against it hereafter. II ID
the only party which Is now worthy the
confidence and the respect Of the people,
and 1t Is the only party that Is calculated TO
dsvelop the true gFeatnesS and glory Of the
country.

moment they would see that this action Of

to the Democratic party Their action will
not materially afec. the popular vote Of a

are not true Representatives Of the masses. l..
Such men rs Yancoy, and such papers ne

the Democratic party Of the South. We
should think the rebuke they received In
1882 would have convinced them Of this
fact In the Presidential fight Of that year,
they, as now, refused to cooperate with the
National Democratic party, and run Gen.
Quitman, we believe Il was, as the Southern
candidate for the Presidency. He did not
receive the electoral vote of single State.
And so Il will be in this instance.

we lose nothing at all in the South, as every

when these fanatics, who have never had

slave trade, It cannot certainly be charged
as a principle Of the National Democratic
party
Taking this view Of the matter, we are
disposed to be joyous, with the Republicans,
over the withdrawal Of the Southern FIRE,
eaters from the Charleston Convention, and
in our heart of hearts rejoice that we have
been relieved Of such an incubus.

mined to adjourn over every three days during
the sessions Of the conventions, so there will
