Modern DcmOcrRcY.

There have been exceptions taken by some
of our Democratic friends, to a communication
we published last week, from Bristol" We
lish communications, rejecting upon individuN
ais or dragging before the public private mat
ters, but this institution of modern sham De-
mocracy, we consider the greatest b1ne to the
cause of Free Government,geneFali intelligence
and morality, and we therefore battle against it,
and if volunteer steps up occasionally, we do
not feel like refusing him chance IL the con-
test because he uses sharper Or more irritating
weapons than we do. Our structures are against
a system, and not against individuals, and we
certainly hope no individual will think it nec>
cessary TO make personal application of what
was intended in general manner for a system
of politics.
If the experience Of any person, who glories
in belonging to the present mis-called Demo
cratic party, is different from ours or that Of
our correspondent, Bristol" we shall be glad
TO give him chance to relate that experience.
We are willing TO have the facts and arguments
those facts. We have been revilled by demo-
Gratis for years, as abolitionists fanatics. Free
lovers, &c. and Yet we never took these revil-

principles and practice of that party, We have
repealed those false charges, and we are thank

frmation of theory proved and confirmed in
works.
The Republican party that has borne the
revilings of the proud and powerful Democracy
is now justified before the world, as the grea >
conservstor otFreedom, of Free Institution and
of Free Government. Democracy, while or y.

has secretly conspired against the liberties Of
the people and for the destruction of the free
andibest Government the world ever knew. -
Aud yet with brazen front that challen ges

of the past two years-can easily see, aud be
forced to admit. The very men who are now
the head and front of this rebellion, were, when
they committed their first overt acts of treason
and lit the fires of civil war and rebellion, the
leaders and guides of the Democratic party
