The Democracy of the Hairy Nation.
The self-sacriicing and devoted patriots com.
prising the Democracy of the Hairy Nation met
in Convention on the 9Th instant at Bloomfield
to devise measures for the salvation of the coun.
try-and to promote the private interests OF
the members of the Convention-they met, they
''speechi6ed," they resolved, and the country
is saved-on paper-and there is no use fret
ting about it. The Abolitionists and their
Northern allies, the Republicans, have been
wiped out and are now the twin relics of polti.

on Fort Sumter, nor steal any specie from the
United States Mint at New Orleans, nor did
they incite savage Indians to scalp wounded SOL

men in the South; but then they stood off and
made mouths and wry faces at those who did,
and kept wishing all the time that there might
some fugitive niger come along, so that they
could violate the fugitive slave law, by giving
him piece of bread and butter, or by refusing
to assist in retaking him, and thereby they vir-
t,xahy brought on the war.
