Democraey. or as AM Endorsement of their

Democracy, or as an endorsement of their
policy.
The Democratic party, which has al
ways taught obedience to the laws, is
willing TO submit to what is apparently
the will of the people; but it will never
swerve from the path of duty, nor COM
promise the least OF those principles, by
which It will either triumph or 60 down.
The future Of the Democratic party is
not without hope; and we counsel every
true friend of his country to be not dis
mayed, but to work with renewed viroor.
t2r the sunshine Of success will not always
be clouded. The Democratic party has
already shown fortitudc, not to be bro
ken by q little reverse. Its principles are
eternal, and already its teachings, lead the
way to an ultimate triumph over the her
estes WHICH now mislead the people The
unstable creatures of this Administrator.
and their utopian doctrines of 'ssirong
government will soon. meet the Just re-
tribution- due from an outraged people.

OF jolnstoNn, has been appointed Steward
oi the Poor House, whereupon. each of
these papers takes occasion to. speak in

bent, Mr., Jas. j. kaylor. Mr. kaylor is
a Democrat, which, of course, will suffi-
GENTLY account for the malignant spirit
manifested by these partisan papers towards

Is to be the next steward, we as vet have
no official authority If lie were ap-
pointed, it was not done in accordance
with the usuages and precedents which
heretofore governed the Directors of the
iooriiouse and we were unaware of
any such appointment having been made
until we read it in the aforesaid papers.

no personal acquaintance with Mr.. Moore.
