. HARD KNOT OF GROwLERs.

without body. II you cannot argue, you can
growl; If you attempt TO argue, and get Inc
worst of the wordy war, you can etiIl gIowl;
aud for Democrat who hates the Admlnlstrs-
ton and tho Republican party far better than he
loves the Union, there is nothing 80 becoming as
q long, deep, and steady growl. We do not
know much Of the " Democracy" of Waldoboro',
in tue State of Maine. except that they are of
that wing Of the party there who have usarPed
| the name Of Democrats whose doctrines and
whose conduct is repudlated by the Democratic
nnrses everywhere; but more talented, resoluto,
| unlaunied and incorrigible set of Caucus Growi
| ere, cannot 10 found 10 the known world. They
| held q meeting tho other day, and growled out
seven Resolutions. They rero!ved themselves 10
be righteous, and they resolved all other men to
be rascas; .hey resolved that if their admoD-
| tions tad been fe-ded. the Union would never
have been severed; aud they resolved that, the
Democracy of WaldOboro' being az dead as
whole cash Of door nails. the Union can never
be united; they resolved against prlcsts and
Abortoni.ts, and fanatics; they resolved against
The North in general, aud in favor of the South
! in general; they resolved TINT it was hardly the
fair thug for the Confederacy to leave the
| Democracy OF Waldoborc' in the lurch, but they
rcsulyed this in q milky and fOrbearibg way
they resolved that it is the duty Of tho Admin
irtra,icn TO let the seeding States depart III
nrace; they resolved that the President 10 daily
| a. breaking and evadipg the Constitution they
resolved that priestcrah and atol'ionism should
be crushed cut; they resolved for reconstructon
f tie Union; tbey resolved for q restoration of
the greatness and prosperity Of the country; they
resolved for coupromiso and concession aud
against coercion, boodshed, bankruptcy aud ruin;
they resolved once more the impvsribty Of re-
joining the Union; they resolved again tbat tho
Union must be rejoned; and then they resolved
10 20 home aud to 90 a. bee-which was by far
tie wisest fes'lution adopted by thcse sngacious
men upon tlis memorable occasion.
Regoutobs that favor union and disanion

ridgers Of Name, and highly grateful 70 taeIr
weathcrcock of q godfather; but we do not, ~
concrete matter, believe in tho physical posi-
bLty Of the election Of q town-clerk upon such a
platform. Men who cry 10 tho oamo breath,
- Good Lord" and Z" Good Devil" airs usually
upon the DEVILS side. They may have Invented u
way Of SERVING both masters in WaIdoboro'i but
the particulars of tho discovery have not been
generally promulgated. When two ride one horse,
one must ride behind; and upon this occasion tie
forward ,eat seems a. have been assigned ~ tho
n,ud Imp Of Disunion.
We do not say that thess Badoboro' geu-
tieiEen ara Dishonest but We de say that they,
with many other grewrrs throughout the North,
are ia q dresdfully denss log, in which clear

We 20 not cay that tao fog is ef their own
raisuz nor do We ray that they ave personally
responsible for its denfity. Wonn they talk OF
"psieJtcruit" aud OF &" ianaticism" they Sare tho
vIctas--the parrct-toagued vic ms o. their o@n
political pr esto aad iaaatic leaders. Iho trouble
is, tina, while other men havo bevD growing
wiser, they have been growing ioolisecr thcy
wear eeati long since out Of fashion aud th'y
use sl'g.ns lnag s.nce 0brnlote. They arc dead,
bnt they do not know it they can soy nothing,
but they VIII still keep talking; they SEQ
nothing, hut they will ftil keep wisely squirting;
aud 40 they cannot for their souls tell whether
they IRE asleep or awake, alive cr dead, III
their ,epses or out Of their senses, ier Union or
for pisunioD for SlnTcry or for Freedom. they
compgrnise matters by crying over ard over
again " Priestcraft" and " FonaticisIn." Tley
Layo never comprehended that subtls " Priest

d8yo morally darker than taese, taught them

that there ~ n point beyond winch 40 preachcr

also the men who would crush i they love
political cohereIoe, bot they love too political
cnsos they profess to hnto the Disuuionists Of
the North, bat ihey take tue D5unioaists, Und
rebels Of TIE South, to their bobOms. They see
tue danger Of tie disease, and thcy would save
everybody BY compelling everybody TO shake
hands with pack OF political lepers.
To BE- sure, they are continually saving that the
seceders are wroug--quite wrong-ah, very wrong,
indeed The Waldobor0 moniacs soy this in
neat resolution, specially drawn UP for the purpose.
Why do they not stick there, or stick somewhere
