i = Good Democrat.

NM MMW 10
WE very often hear men boas'ing'y
proclaim that they are good DemocIs's,
ss.J"oEson Democrats constitutional
Damoevsn . 80. We have no objection
to this Tor wa think that every man
,onehtto be 4 Democrat and feel PrCue VI
ths hiph privilege that he has OF DelUg
one. Democratic principles are the only
principles that can uphold aud sustain q
free Republican form Of Government
the only principles that Will enaOlo
nsonls 10 govern themselves. hence
our devotion to them, and our adnifa-
.tion Of such men as may be devoted 10
than. but all men who boast OF beng
osod Democrats, are not such, according
20 u understanding Of the term.
A oo0d Democrat is one who adheres
firmly and unwaveringly to the fuuda'
mental principles Of the party, as 'ausnSs
by Jefferson, Jackson, and other sageso Of
this country one who IS not carried
away from his party BY every new form
Of doctrine that may be put forth by
~dsmapogues one who stands firm IN the
faith In times of adversely, when dangers
threaten and storms shake the country to
Ia centre. We would not give a ng ior
a Democrat wko is only devoted to the
principles while the party is prosperous
and in power, nor q rush for one who
o.r onIy afford to work for the party
when thOre is q prospect Of obtaining an
Office as a reward for his labor, A good
Democrat works for the benefit Ut the
sohoe party-fOr the country, and Dot
for self alone. He il not only true to
his principles, but bold and fearless in
proclaiming them. He does not fear or
Ifalter when political antagonists threaten,
nor when persecution comes upon him ;
but like q true soldier he nobly presses
forward in q good cause, resolved 70 pres
serve the rights and liberties Of the peO-
pie. or perish 10 the attempt.
Agood Democrat is no hunter after
place or power. He is no ofhceeseeker,
and consents only to serve, after having
been made sensible Of the fact that his
acknowledges desire Sim to become a
candidate. de "neither seeks nor de-
%cliuss" Office, but quietly waits until such
time as he may be honored by q call
from the people to serve them. He
works, during every campaign, whether
be may be a candidate OF not, and ne
encourages every other DemocrAt to work
also.
He aevcr fails TO take his own County
pape, nor to pay for a. and # able to
take more than one paper, no then takes
one from abroad; but will always tako
his home paper first. He who isable to
pay for a couuty paper, and doesno take
one, is worse than an iDidel. He does
not deserve to prosper, nor will ne be
very apt togain Office, popularity, friends,
property, or anything else that may
prove a blessing to bin-not even az

A WESTERN paper records this. In
1864, a notorious fellow named Stanton
while Provost Marshal Of Wabash couu.
.ty, Ill, shot two young men whom he
conceived had offended him. He wss
arrested and imprisoned, but subsequently
released on q writ Of habeds corpus, giw
iDs bail in $40, 900, prominent Mongrell
signing the bonds. Stanton decamped
thebOnds were prosecuted, but the case
never brought to an issue, and finally the
Mopgrel Legislature passed q law releaa,
ing he bond holders and requiring the
State Attorney to dismiss the case.-
Thus Mongrslism in Illinois fosters and
protects the crime of murder by SpeciaI
legislation.

Com IN THE ROASTING EAR.-Whils
corr is just out. of the ground in this.vi-

10 the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph Of June
q. 1t says
"The first roasting ear Of the season
was presented TO US yesterday by our
friend. Robert ]. Hill, who farmes in
Sumter County, seven miles southwest
Of Americas. The seed was planted
about the 18th Of January last, in a small
patch, as an experiment. His plan Of
cultivation was with a large two.hOrse
pillow to run his rows from east to west,
throwing up q large ridge, then pulver-
izing the bed, throwing the earth out az
terward with o small scooter-opening q
q furroW as near the bed on the south
side as he could, then dropping 10 the
corn with stable manure and covering
with a hoe. Visiting the patch early
every morning, he discovered hat the
rays Of the sun struck the bed direct,
and as the bed broke off the cold wind
north and west, the frost was hardly per~
ceptible on the south side, though very
much so on the other, He thereupon
bodded all his corn land as for cotton
planting, on the south side near the wa
ter furrow, covering With one furrow.-
We are glad to learn from him that be
has never had q better stand Of corn and
cotton at this time Of the ~yeAr-corn
from waist to head high (three to six
feet, cotton half leg high, oats, rye and
wheat crop very fine, wheat alIeady
