most PROMINENT feature you possess, should
you be pleased to deny the fact2
The Democratic party of to-day not pro-
slavery IT'S false! The Democratic party
Of to-day of the same blood and lineage rs
that of which Jefferson stood at the head
Such ignorance or impotence as this 1--WE
know not which it is) excites our supreme
contempt! May we call the Democratic par.
ty of to-day bastard offspring? No, not
even that. 1t is not even entitled to the re-
spect due bastard, for it has not a drop OF
genuine blood flowing in its craven viens.
But the worst feature Of this party is moi
its pro-slavery tendencies. 1t is, as whole
ignorant and corrupt; and what may we not
expect from these two traits combined J.
The leaders and advocates of this party,
who are they? Those to whom nothing is
dearer than OFFICE. and by whom nothing is
less regarded than JUSTICE.
And who are their constituency? All
who are unable to read and write (and these
form an important item in the party.) The
balance are TINE SERVERS, waiting for "the
good time coming" who cry in every breeze,
"party after party have arrayed themselves
against US, and in their turn have passed
away, but we stand like monument of an
tiquity, around whose ADAMANTINE crest the
winds of centuries sweep, against whose un-
scathed sides the surges of eternity fow."
For these AMI their unlettered associates, is
our sincere prayer, "May God have mercy on
their souls" But to those who have de-
ceived their country and brought to disgrace
the name they bear, We have only to say,
"Be in readiness for the doom to which the
voice Of the country will speedily call you"

Glory of the Fire.cracker.

What intense qualification is afforded to
the just-fedging American citizen, by the
possession of one Of these articles It is for
u moment his idol, and how dearly he
cherishes it! The youth, however, is i'm
pressed with habit of destructiveness, and
looks upon every thing in the form of fire.
wsrks, or any composition of powder, as a
means Of gratifying that propensity. No
sooner is he possessed of the imitation Of
Chinese manufacture-for all Chinese crack
ers are not made by the Celestials-than he
communicates the ignited extremity of his
piece of punk to the fibrous stem of the
cracker, and eagerly watches it explode. The
operation is novel and delightful to him.
Perhaps it is the first opportunity he has ever
had of affordNAg himself such intense gratif-
cation. He takes the harmless cracker, with
some misgiving as to the probable result, ex-
amines it carefully, and then, urged by his
older companions, applies the ignited punk.
lie watches the rapid progress of the fire, and
when it approaches near to the body of the
cracker, extends it in his tiny fingers as far
as his arm can reach, closes his eyes with such
an effort as to seriously comfort his features,
and awaits the result. 1t is not long coming.
He hears the report, feels the sting in his
fingers, and opens his eyes to the reality.
How immeasurably delighted he is. He
dances about in excess of glee, and straight
way runs to his parental banker-to whom
all little boys fly when in want of money
to procure the funds for more extended in
vestment. He is also soon gratified, and,
with an entire pack of crackers, contents
himself in demonstrating the fact that he is
not afraid of powder, and is doing his best to
celebrate the anniversary of American Inde-
pendence. Of the latter he cares less than
The former, and, so long as his pack of crack
holds out, is supremely happy.-N Y. Com

The TOMATO AS AN ARTICLE OF FooD.-
DR.. Bennett, professor of some celebrity,
considers the tomato an invaluable article OF
diet, and ascribes to it various important
medical properties. First: That the tomato
is one of the most powerful aperients of the
indicated, is probably one of the most effect
i've and least harmful agents known to the
profession. Second That chemical extract
will be obtained from it that will supersede
the use of calomel in the cure of disease.
Third That he has successfully treated diar-
rhea with this article alone. Fourth That
when used as an article of diet it is an almost
sovereign remedy for dyspepsia and indiges-
ton. Fifth That it should be constantly
used for daily food, either cooked or raw, or
in the form Of catsup; it is the most healthy
article now in use.
