On Tuesday night last, there was present
cd, at the headquarters Of the Democratic
Association Of this city, strange aud sin
gulAr spectacle. It consisted Of one Of those
scenes which great political connections
sometimes bring to the surface. Governor
Swami, who, with the late Henry Winter
Davis, was the sworn and deadly enemy Of
Democracy in any and every shape, adj
dressed the Democratic Association on the
principles Of Democracy. II 10 but few
4 years ago that this gtsn denied that Demo
cracy had Q principle. and during the time
Of bis ayoTalty, Kaow Nothingism ruled
supreme.
Tom Swami, thal was mayor, and to whom
certain rowdies could present check for q
cool fifty or q hundred dollars, and he da,
mot refuse to sign IT,; TOla Sam, durin !
whose mayorslsy -it was mot safe for South
err nor Western merchants to come to this
city to trade; and for the removal Of whom
for his official malfcasense, the great Relorm
Party came into existence.
A man who deserted the Republican party
only when be saw certain sgns Of Its decay
and even then, only for . consideration
this the man, who the Democracy OF t1-day
invites to lecture them on Democratic prin
ciples. Alasl for Democracy, its glOrie,
are slowly but certainly passing away. Blu
Tom Swami Of that day was with the part,
in power. As Governor, be is with the do
minaut party. of to-day; whether he has
come down to the standard of the Demo
cratic party or the Democratic party Ia,
come up to his standard, 1t is impossible u
say; certain it is, though, the Governor ap-
pears to think he cannot do without the
Democratic Conservative vote, and the Dem
ocratic Conservative party seems Of the
opinion that it cannot do without tie Gov
J ernor: 50 far it 10 diamond cut diamond. Tn,
Democratic party of this State, with Gov
Swami, is like the man that purchasei tn,
elephant, they have got him bus they don'i
know what to do with him; nobody else
wants him, 90 they are obliged to keep aim
under these circumstances.
The governor chances for Congress ar
very good, but to which house he will 70
seems to be q matter Of conjecture. Tn,
policy OF bringing him out for the house o
representatives does not meet with genera
! favor. The party are somewhat diviled OF
that head, but as the governor Is very fer
lille on certain points, the ''ring" may con
slider it to their advantage to nominate him
But fortune favors the designing sometimes
as wall as she does the brsye-and this time
she appears to favor both parties.
The appointment Of Reyerdy johnson t,
the court Of st. James, creates a vacancy II
the senatorship, and by the knowing ones j
Ia supposed that the governor will resign
This would enable Gov. Bowie, who 10 th,
governor elect, to take his seat, and the MP
pointing of q successor to Senator johnson
would devolve upon Governor Bowie.
such should be the programme, and 1t is be
lie red to be in well informed circles, the new
governor would appoint the ex-governor t,
ill the vacancy for the unexpi-sd term
This would be happy termination 10 tn
difficulty We shall see vot we shall see.
