clear, then, in the first place, that the ,'eiho'
cratic Principle, whatever else charming il NY
be-, ia Mt Patriotism. 1t is Of record that the
great National Republican Democratic Jefrer-
sonian Jlcksonian Party. rather than adjust
jts own murderous and fatal feuds, not only
committed suicide, but abandoned the country,
with tho full knowledge, according to it's
professions and its pretensions, that it
was within it's own power to save
NJ from Rebellion and Civil War. We
beg leave to ask, with all possible polltene's
what the use is Of having q Democratic Prin-
ciplo, if it is TO be turned to no better &C.
COUNT Is this Principle something Masonlc'
and o sbibboeth only to be whispered in priv
ieged earsi But it, before tho war, this ex'
elusive reticence wns toerabe, can it be par
doned nowi In Heavens name, gentlemen
for sweet charitys sake, good Sirs If you caL
help us, in this our extreme emergency, by
bringing out your Principle, pray produce 1t
at once. IL you have Saints Head, potent
to cool the molten lava which is burning and
blasting the country, pray do not keep it under
lock and key in a closet, but give us tho ben
eft of the ancient and precious relic But,
alas you do nothing Of the kind! You assem-
bio in Worcester, but not to announce your
ability to close the war, and your intentions OF
doing il; for though you are again in fun con-
yention, instcad of relieving us, instead OF al
laying our miserable spprehensions, instead OF
communicating to the country that sublime secret
,he development of which would make us all
happier than ever we were befcfe. you simply
fall to the old business of breaking each othcr'
heads. Your arcane remains as utterly III.
known as tho EIeusinnian Mysteries. You tell
us, il is true, what you don't like. men and
measures; you detest your Senators and your
Governor, and your affection for the Republic
Party il too small to BIO recksned; you don't
see why Mr. Lincoln should be in the Presi-
Dental Chair, instead Of good Democrat;
you do most highly disapprove Of the Emanci-
patton Bill, aud you do most heartily denounce
the Abolitionists; and you swear by poor, dead
and buried Thomas Jefferson, as fcvently as
any Turk ever sworc by his Prophet. Bot all
this is merely negative. You are very volublc
in your criticism, but powerful o. it is, it
hardly seems to point to any action. Pray,
good Sirs, what shall We dol If we
should turn out all the Republican Post
masters, and Collectors, and put Dem
ocrats in their places, do you think
that course would have q TeviviDg effect upon
the country. and be found depressing and dis
coursgng by the Rcbes' II you think SO.

modesty from saying 80. but say so at once
Shall We depose tho PRESIDENT shall we or.

shall we invite Jefferson Davis TO the White
House shall we mako it death to speak Of

cples!" will not do it, Talking about the
lamented jefferson will not do it. Merely
saying: "Alas! if you had stuck by o." will
not do it. Calling the Republicans knavee,
and scoundrels. and agitatOrs, aud all the
other hard names in the. BIllingsgate vocabu-
larry will not do it. Sending Henry Wilson
aud Charles Sumner to Coventry will not do
