The old Wing party died, because many Of

feats, and rendered too timd to do right. The
Democratic party was rendered powerless at
Charleston because many of its members were
villains and burst do wrong-were traitors and
dared to practice treason. The Republicans
are now logd in their demands that all plat
forms and organizations be abandoned. They
may well abandon theirs which should never
have been adopted or formed. But that is
not what they mean. They mean those who
have remained true to the Democratic party
shall abandon it and adopt the Republican
platform. The Democracy will do nothing of
the kind. They will continue true to their
country until the Heavens shall fall. They
have always supported, and will continue to
support, the platform adopted years ago, by
delegates that assembled in convention in
Philadelphia, and to the support of which they
pledged their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor. They did not abandon it be-
cause Benedict Arnold proved a traitor, the
Democracy will not abandon it now, because
the Republican and Breckenridge organizations
have proved treacherous to it. Ii is not the

THE folly of the Republicans, in forcing
emancipation upon the slave States, is demon
strated by the following facts mentioned by
the Louisville Democrat. If slavery is an
evil, it is one Of those evils that should be left
for time and the State authorities to deal
with
d" In the House of Representatives on Wed
nesday Mr.. Wicklif, the venerable Union
Representative from one of the Kentucky dis
tricls, stated that he had information that the
slaves at Port Royal who had been taken from
their masters mostly all desired 10 return. but
are prohibited from so doing by the military
authorities. He said further. that some of the
negroes who bad left the camp for the purpose
of getting back to their masters were fred npon
by the seutiUels in obedience to orders and
eight of them killed. This IS beautiful com
mentary on Hunters proclamation, yet it i
natural one. The idea of freedom possessed by
slaves who escaped to the Federal lines is free
dom from work but when they find that they
merely exchange a Southern for Northern
master, it is not at all strange that they should
seek to return to their old homes and lighter
tasks
