vbc democracy Moving.

In to-day's paper we publish the res
olutions of the Indiana Democracy. On
the same day the Democracy of New
Hampshire held their State Convention,
and adopted platform identical in spirit
with that adopted in Indiana. We doubt
not that the Democracy Of every loyal
State will adopt similar resolutions. On
such platforms the conservative elements
of the country can unite in solid column
to war against those twin enemies Of the
Constitution and the Union, secession
and abolitionism.
Had the advice Of the Democracy been
followed one year ago peace and pros
pcrity would now be smiling upon our
hitherto blessed land. But, their advise
was disregarded and their cntrcaties were
scorned, and an invitation given to the
worst possible state of affairs to come
and it has come-the marts OF industry
closed, business stagnatcd, the land COW
cred with hostile armies, the rivers rcd
dened with the blood of our people, the
capital of our nation guarded by an army
of two hundred thousand men, the Union
our fathers made torn assunder, nation
al debt of one thousand million Of dol
lars hanging over us, opp cssive taxation,
high prices for what we buy, low prices
for what we sell. All this, and far more
has beer brought upon the country by {
disregard of the warning voice Of the
Democratic party--the party of Wash
ington, Of Jefferson, of Monroe, o
jackson.
Let the affairs Of the country be q
speedily as possible rc-committcd t
the Union-loving Democracy. The da
OF the country's redemption may ha,
passed, but there is still hope, and til,
hope is ccntcrcd in the success of Il
Democratic party. There is no 9th,
way by which this Government can |
saved, no other means of avelting lu
thcr calamties, no other power TO sa,
the nation from eternal ruin.
