by one the organs Of the Pendleton, or South
ern rights democracy, are silenced. The
Charleston Mercury, without premonitory
sign, has suddenly given up the ghost. It has
caved in and fallen to pieces, like Wendell
Holmes famous zone horse shay" The
Louisville Journal had already caved in. The
demise of the Journal may have been has
tened by the high tax on Bourbon; but as the
editor Of the Mercury drinks nothing but
water no such conjecture is admissible as to
the fate of that newspaper. Numerous other
democratic journals are daily meeting with the
same fate. They succumb to the memorable
logic Of events. Not only the Pendleton
organs, but some Of the Seymour organs are
foredoomed. They, too, must cave in, here
and elsewhere. The democracy is manifestly
breaking up all over the land.
