doxy of George Bancroft's Democracy, un-
less it be some of our Compromise Demo
Gratis who don't want to hurt the rebels
and slavery. The following extracts
from speech made by Mr.. B. in New

the exception possibly of the class we
have mentioned. as eninently sound, and
is SO pertinent that we wish it might be
read by every person in the country. We
commend it particularly to the attention
OF slavery extension and rebel sympat hizing
Democrats. of whom unfortunately there
are net few in Watertown. In speaking
Of the cause of the war. Mr.. B. said 4:
''For myself, was one who desired to most.
pone or rather hoped altogether to avoid the
collision which has taken place. trusting that
society by degrees would have worked itself
clear by Its own innate strength and the virtue
and resolution OF the community But slavery
has forced upon US the issue, and has lifted mn
its hand to strike a death blow atour existence
as people. 1t has avowed itself a desperate
and determined enemy of our national life. ef
our unity as republic, and heneeforward no
man deser YES the name of a statesman who
would consent to the introduction of that ale-
ment of weakness and decision into any new
territory, or the admission of any another slave
state into the Union.''
