A Democratic" Opinion OF our In
slitutIO1a.


A Democratic" Opinion of our In.
s11tutIOnS.
Since the overthrow of the party styl-
ing itself Democratic" overthrow by
force of arms in war upon which the
existence of the nation was staked, the
enemies of the Government have adopted
a system of vituperation aimed at every
thing connected with the General Govern
ment, not even sparing the institutions OF
the country. The Ohio Statesman is one
of the sHallest, and consequently one of
the most persistent and bitter, of all the
organs of this scurrillous faction of
traitors. That grandest and truest and
most dignifed paragraph in the annual
message of President johnson, wherein
the Chief Magistrate speaks of the
grandeur and permanency of our free in
stitutions, our tolerance of religious faith,
and the asylum offered to the oppressed of
all the woald, is, upon the principle that
"music's mystic property is to make dogs
and critics howl" singled out by this
treason-monger as text upon which to
hang dissertation on what its editor
denominates "the overthrow of popular
liberty and State Rights" The only
liberty" overthrown was the liberty to
enslave mankind. But the heresy of
State Rights" as advocated by the
democratic" party North and South-by
the one covertly, by the other openly with
musket and cannon was overthrow
upon every ensanguined field where the
Stars and Stripes waved triumphant;
resurrected, was again crushed to earth by
the h~Il0ss or loyal freemen in every State
north of Mason and Dixon's line where an
expression of the popular voice has been
had since the close of the war; and was
buried as that patriotic parson, Governor
Brownlow, advised in the case of the dis
tinguished "Democrat" and horse-thief,
John Morgan, face downward, in order to
guard against escape by the exercising of
the well-known Democratic" propensity
for burrowing in the earth, from the exer-
else of which was derived their cognomen
of "dirt-eaters"
The Statesman proudly and triumph
antly declares that there is not much
ground for "hope that our nationality is
of the most enduring character" and
warns the deluded emigrant that he will
find "taxation here equal if not superior
in oppression to any in the Old World
Our national debt is the largest in the
world, our currency irredeemable, our
freedom a myth, says the Statesman, and,
to crown all, "our educational system is
deeply tinctured with intolerance and
fanaticism, and is of superficial but ex-
pensive character" That is really the
best specimen of democratic" thunder
we have heard for many day. Nor Davis,
nor Lee, nor Breckenridge could beat it;
in fact, it is worthy of YaIlandigham him
self The stab at our superficial"
" educational system" is capital, but the
literary character of the StatesDsan's edi-
torials is the best evidence of the justness
of the accusation.

The Funeral of ThOs. COrWin.
WAsHINaToN. Dec. 2Oth. 1855.

I w Abh1NdION, OeC- SUJn, 1000.
The remains of Thomas Corwin left the
city this evening. The Treasury Depart
ment was closed at half-past two o'clock
in respect for the deceased ex-Secretary.
The services were performed at half-past
three o'clock at the residence of James c
Wesmore, Esq., the Ohio State Military
Agent, where Mr.. Corwin died, and con-
sisted of the reading of a portion of Scrip
ture and the offering up of prayer Chief
Justice Chase Secretary, Seward, General
Grant, Hon. John Sherman, Hon. R. P.
Spalding and large number of other
notables were present, and although the
afternoon was a very unpleasant one, a
very wet snow falling at the time, which
soon changed to rain, large number of
clerks from the Departments and citizens
generally collected on the walk at Mr..
Wetmore's residence and remained there
until the slow and solemn train was formed
and marched away. A detachment of the
metropolitan Police we're the practical
pall-bearers, whilst the order of the
Knights Templars in full uniform escorted
the remains to the Baltimore and Ohio
Depot.
Unquestionably in the death of Thomas
Corwin the country has lost one of the
ablest orators it ever had, and the day is
not far distant, trow, when the sentiment |
of his Mexican War speech will be gen.
orally deemed as able and exalted as its |
oratory was surprisingly beautiful and
brilliant.
Congress will probably adjourn over the
holidays. believe move has already
been made in thatdirection.
The expected crowds to look in at Congress
Turing this great session are not here, and
[ think are wisely staying away. The
hotels and the boarding house keepers are
nanifestly disappointed. AGAIN.
