SWINGING ROUND THE CIRCLE,


Andrew Johnson now admits that he 10
"swinging round the circle" This may be new
vi,h Andy, but the party towards which he
has been swinging, long since swung rounn
from the old Federal, and assumed the name
OF Democracy. | do not know whether Audy
has completed his peripherical movement or
not; il not, he is destined 10 take another swing
al the old Federal Party has made smother
SUING. On the 18th OF August last, they re-
solved TO change their name TO that OF Nation
al Union Party This will probably require
Andy TO swing round the circle again to catch
item.
Is it not passing strange that sensible men
on all other matters should longer adhere to a
party which has no fixed principles but takes
aLy name and any set of principles that they
may secure the loaves When the doe faces OF
the Norlh sold out TO the slave sristocfacy of
the Soutn, the Old Federal party lost lite dis
tinctive name--a name that had been ass0cia-
ted with treason 10 the war OF 1872, when Ger
tain OF its members joioed the hartford Con-
yentiou, and held out Blue Lights to inform
the British OF the movements of the armies.-
They then traded tor the name Democracy
Having gulled the foreigners ana many honest
well meaaiGg OF our natives, whose fathers be-
.Vuged 10 tAe true democracy OF the country ,
they Tor t.ne succeeded, but the Democrat c
party, having fred on the flag OF our country
set up Southern Coniederacy, and for touI
years carried on the most barbarous system d
warfare az Alnst the Government, siaU h.ering
IN the lie d and starving IN ihhy prison pens
hundreds q thousands of the taifest and no
h.est youtLs Of our land, entsiliLg On Tt
eountry enormous taxation, which " III require
generations 10 get rid of,-havIng perpetrateG
all these undeniabie evils upon the countrJ
the name Democrat wss becoming very VI
popular.
In Tie language of the classic Andy I. be-
came Lec-ssETy 10 swing round the ciro.e' 9.
nld, II rUsSioIe, another name by which 10 sta
de- Give TIE nonsst yeomaury OF the land. VIII

l4.h OF August, in Philadelphia, that there Wal
T. great party IN the ceuntry which had savst

81 under The rallying cry OF Union, this OF
Federal swinging party resolved that the
tow renegade Union men to stand Godfath,
