JOHN QUINCY ADAMS As AN APOSTLE
OF THE FORWARD MOVEMENT.
r
IF young John Quincy Adauas' could
only eontriVe to demOralize or humbuQ
Lhe Democracy, so as to put himself il
theiead, he might possibly revenge his
great-grandfather of Alien and Sedi-
tlon memory, by persuading or con-
stra1alng the party of to-day to adiure
the doctrines and blacken the memory
Of Thomas Jefferson. He might dig
the bones of his ancestors from beneath
the mountain of obloquy and igno-
miHy where they have lain so long, and
even realize the old Federalist's dream
of consolidated or Imperial Govern
ments were Jefferson's doctrines once
brought into disrepute. This agoaLd be
G7l2pte vengeance for the gra1sdSiTe, and
q as5ce thing for the little AdGn1seS of to-
dag.
The dnimus of s'young John0 is clear
" manifest in late letter wherein he
says 1.-The Democratic party, If it
hopes for permanent usefulness, mus
mind the advice of DR.. Holmes
.'Yet in opinion look not always back.
1he past Is nOthtng-mtnd your coming
Think of the Democracy 'Fmindino
the advice of DR.. Holmes ~
But we hold that as often as any scion
of the Adamses-a family which is as
true to its hereditary instincts as the
Stuarts-offers political council, tits the
part OF prudence and duty to sFlook
back'' before adopting it.
Young John Quincy Adams proposes
TO become Democrat but upon what
conditions? These, namely that the
party shall renOunee the PRINCIPLES
which have marked it from its organi
zat1on, and adopt a new creed, the drst
article Of which is suffrage for the ne
gros The overture will be found, on
analysis, to be a proposition to the
Democracy to join John Quincy Adams.
Please give us time to think about it.

BRASS AND YERDIGRIs-
In all communfties-even the most
enlightened-there are distinct traces
Of the original savage man The Otta-
wa or Miami chief was Respondent
with gauds and tinsel and as his
cheap adOrnmsnts glittered in the sun,
The hero worship" of his tribe was
manifest in deferential admiration.
Of the lingering remnants of barbar-
ism observable in civilized life, the
most noticea BILE is the consideration be-
slowed on the struttiDg fellow who
wears epaulets, brass buttons and gilt
sword. We once thought that our
American people had eliminated this
AS4Ao "a say AA0lA blGAG C4hEACLOE >
but the last few years have made it so
distinctly discernable, that we admit
its eXistence, and pair Of living long
enough to witness its eradication.
A military officer, ito the butCh'ring
bred,3 is a useful man in bis place but
his place is not in politics, for which his
ignorance, as well as his habits ofIife,
unfit him. The regular army officer is
presumptively a blOat and aswell-head.
Thare are exceptions to the rula: but
they must be proven before their exist
ence can be admitted. We are readyto
hear evidence in behalf OF ROsecrans
but a fitness to instruct the people in
their political duties does not pertain
to his class and until proof is made,
zee shall set han doaD7b as the Inaperti7te7tt
SsEperciLiO3Es, FLl-iaaf formed person, which
1Ce should naturally eTpect from his CALI
ing, and which his letter of declination
strongly indicates.
