THE REVOLUTIONS.

/ TIE REGULATIONS.
We publish in this issue the rcsolu-
tons Of the Republicans and the Demo.
Gratis, as passed by their respective
State Conventions, and ask candid
perusal oftlcm by all our readers.
Some, perhaps, upon the first reading
Of the Democratic resolutions, will con
cludc, that they are at least tolerably
patriotic, for party whose ranks are
thickly dotted with strong secession
sympathiscrs; but more careful per-
usal will disclose to every one, that they
are bungling set Of gcneralities and
the only patriotism exhibited, being Of
the skim milk order.
1nthe month ofMarch last at Washing
ton, Valandigham, a notorious Demo
crat, and an equally notorious secret
hater Of his country, and his co laborcrs
promulgated set OF Democratic scnt,-
ments in tie shape ofrcsolutions, which
were intended to inspire his party with
new zeal and extricate them from the
cess pool Of filth in which they had
naturally fallen by the weight Of their
enormous party sins. They were far
too odious, however, for many of the
Democrats as well as all true lovers of
their country, and after SINGLE univcr-
sal expression of condemnation, they
passed into oblivion.
In May another set Of Democratic re-
solutions were given to the country,
fathcrcd chiefly by Richardson Of Hi
nois who is inoculated strongly with
valandighamism and d. w. VOORHEES,
Of Indiana, the man who now stoutly
opposes the present United States tax
law, and whom the Indianapolis Jour-
nal says has not paid one cent Of taxes
in eleven years. These resolutions we're
intend to accomplish what the March
set failed III doing; but having the
identical ear marks efthc first, although
expressed in more artfnl language, they
also were rejected by the masses, and
now may be found buried in tho same
grave. - ,a s. :
Bnt Democracy was not to be defca-
ted in this manner by, the people, 50 on
the 9Th day Of July, Webstcrs una
bridgcd and Worccster's dictionaries
were carefully examined from the title
page Of each to the ''Finis'' for more
suitable words in which to hide their
real sentiments from the masses, and
yet send forth some glittering rcsolu-
tons, that should solacc, and allure to
their ranks all those who were not per.
fectly imbued with Republicanism. Ac-
cordingly some of the Democratic
members Of Congrcss-we say son,e,
for the reports Of the resolutions and the
meeting which we gather from Demo-
cratic Journal, have this distinctive
note" There were about IS members
present, and various reasons given, for
the aOsenccof gentlemen assembled
Tor the framing Of a new and third set
of resolutions. These, to avoid the
fate Of those that proceeded them, and
like q new born kitten, were not per.
, mitted to see the world while in thei,
most tender age, but were gradually in.
troduced to daylight, and from them

lutions of this State in many places 50
closely as to adopt their language entire
