plowholders poorer Democrat
&c Enquirer.
We challenge our neighbor
to the proofof that assertion
to point us to one act or word
in his public career where he
has advocated anything of the
kind. On the question OF bonds
and taxation, Capt. Wilson has
been by no means silent; his
speeches and votes are before
our neighbor, and we challenge
him to produce anything from
them that would lead any per
son to believe the above extract.
If Capt. Wilson can be accused
of injustice at all, in his views,
it is rather towards the "bond.
holders" than towards the
"plow.holders."

we consider it the best yet pub.

A DEMOCRATIC minister who
has Democratic measles badly,
has arranged a new version OF
the Lords Prayer which he
thinks a great improvement
1t is as follows: "Our white
Father, who art in a white
Heaven; hallowed be Thy white
name. Thy white kingdom
come; Thy white will be done;
give us this day our white daily
bread, and forgive our white
brethren who differ from us,
and carry out Thy curse upon
the colored population. Lead
us into white temptation to
oppress the blacks and deliver
us from Republican and negro
evils; for Thine is white king
dom; Thine is white power
Thine is white glory, for ever
and ever, Amen"

Den o ratio Instinct.

Nothing affords a clearer IL
lustration of the utterconfuSion
| and generalization of the DEM
ocratic party than certain OF
the party newspapers. The
struggle to lie upon both sides
fof the fence'at once, tpplease
the peace men and the war
men, the repudiators and the
honest debtors, is very absurd
and very edifying. 1t is a con-
tinuation of the noble Demo
cratic policy during the rebel
lion, which consisted in sup
porting the war and opposing
its prosecution, The only heart.
mess left to the party organs
is in their sneers at the war,
their ribaldry against the col
ored race, and their hatred Of
equal rights. Their acceptance
of the result of the struggle is
reluctant and formal. One of
these papers lately published a
long article stating what the
Democratic platform ought to
be. Ii remarked that the av-
erage judgment of the party
is that -"the late civil war WAS,
by ITSELF a necessary exercise
Of the authority of a Constitu'
tional Government oput down
a rebellion" But a few days
after the same paper which
had thus formally justified the
war, showed its real feeling,
the feeling that it could not
conceal while the struggle was
still pending, by alluding to a
phrase in one Of DR.. Bellows
letters, which speaks of the
cotton.felds Of the South: "The
cotton-felds!" eXclaims the pa.
per; "our cotton-felds, Doctor
price, half million lives and six
thousand times that many dol
lars, and now growing, under
the benelicent egis of Free
dom, the very best weeds that
ever you saw"
This is in the most character.
