There is no doubt but that the majority OF
the democratic party of the North were OPP
posed to coercion against the South, and
desired to see peaceable secession rather
than war. But after the war commenced
and blood had been spilled, they sided with
their section and fought as bravely as any
soldiers. But their opposition to coercion
brought them into disrepute in the North
They were called Copperheads, and this
name and sympathy with rebels, became
synonymous terms. The democratic party
has been devoted to constitutional liberty
They have demanded that the fundamental
law should be inviolate, and have looked on
in sorrow while it has been trampled under
foot The heart of the party has ever been
for the right and their errors have been of
judgment, not of intention.
They became the advocates OF restoration
upon equal privileges as soon as the surren-
der took place. When they saw all hope of
a settlement except by the force of arms,
the Northern democrats maintained faith to
their section, yet when they saw the Union
arms triumphant they buried their hate
with the last soldier who fell in the conflict,
and held out their hands to receive the
Southern people as their kindred and
brethren. But the nation was mad The
majority of the North was drunk with pas
sion Forgetting that the Southern people
were of their race they continued the war
upon them after their arms had been stack
ed Not satisfied with having conquered
them in battle, the dominant party passed
enactments to perpetuate their rule in the
country. The Northern democrats opposed
the party, and the South, relying upon the
compact of surrender, became indignant and
outspoken in their sense of the wrongs
heaped upon them. Sectional raneor again
was enkindled and burned with consuming
fury.
The party in power was too much flushed
with victory to think of charity, and they
met the defiance of the South by heavier
burdens. The Northern masses were indoc-
trinated with the notion that our surrender
was blind, and that we would strike
again upon the first opportunity. And they
were too mad over the sufferings caused
even to them by the war, to think kindly
of us. The Democrats defended us, and
fell with us in our successive defeats since
the war. They deserve and have our graf
itude.
The frame of the old Democratic ship is
still strong, and only needs new plank here
and there to make it stronger than ever.
This good old ship will yet triumph over
many storm. 1t will explore new fields
and make new discoveries, and extend the
Democratic flag over new territories. Let
us not be discouraged. Our opponents are
wearing out. Their soldiers are already de-
sorting and struggling, their officers bewil-
dered, and soon they will succomb to the
power of the patriot army. Firmly let us
persevere. Faithfully let us recruit our
ranks. Zealously let us be faithful to. the
cause of right and we shall triumph

We have heretofore alluded, on several
occasions, to one of Governor Davis's Dis
trict Judges, the notorious Nancy Of Sc
gum, and his strange and quite original do
ings. Some time ago, Judge Nancy, taking
OfTense at some proceedings of the members
of the bar at Seguin, held them in con-
tempt, and forbid their practicing in his
court. They took up their case to the
Supreme Court of tile State, which decided
in their favor, and: ordered the judge to
allow them to appear in his court as usual
Judge Nancy, not Obeying the order of the
Supreme Court, was arrested for contempt
and brought before it, when, after a fun
hearing, the contumacious judge setting
the court at defiance, he was fined and sent
to prison. After lying in Jail awhile,
the lawyers Of seguin, taking pity on
the crazy functionary, petitioned the
Supreme Court to turn him loose,
thinking by this time he might have
learned some wisdom from his confinement
But they were mistaken in this, for the
stubborn judge, when released, not only
still refused to let them practice before him,
but actually had writ issued, and put into
the hands Of his sheriff, to arrest the judges
Of the Supreme Court for interfering with
his jurisdiction. The sheriff came to our
city, but failed in his mission, in some way,
not being able to capture the Supreme
Judges and take them before his honor,
Judge Nancy. In return for this warlike
demonstration on the part Of the district
judge the Supreme Court again ordered his
arrest. and sheriff Zimpelman was sent to
elect it. He found Nancy It Gonzales,
and took him in custody, but, trusting to his
honor. in the goodness of his heart, the
sheriff RETAINED from claiming him, and
allowed him such freedom Of action,
that the judge took advantage Of
it and made his escape he is now, it
Is supposed, hid out somewhere in the
bushes. while We learn, by private letter
from segoin, that the plant clerk Of his
court in that county has issued. by his order,
another writ for the arrest Of the supreme
Judges. Il is avery novel case in its COM
mencement, continuance and present as
pect. and We have thooght it best to give
shis brief resume Of the matter for the in
formation Of the public. Whether Judge
Nancy win succeed Ia catching the Supreme
Coorl. or the court win succeed in catching
Nancy, 5 thing az the future, which We

semble IN the City Han in the city Of Aus
tin az 12 o'clock N. on the 23d dayof August
next for the purpose Of nominating candi-

Wis county, to elect delegates to the State
and Senatorial Conventions. and to DO
whatever else may be deemed expedient or
necessary for the good and advancement Of
the democracy Of the county.
Each precinct can send as many delegates

made by the convention after il conveEes
as correct list Of the voters of each pre-
cinct viii be furnished for the use Of the
convention.
As efficiency and harmony in the cODven-

that all the democrats Of each precinct viii
take a lively interest in the election Of the
most discreet, intelligent and patriotic men
in the party as delegates to the convention.
The democrats Of each precinct are there
fore requested to assemble q, mdSse. at an

with whom they are willing to entrust their
own interest, the interest Of the party and
welfare of the State.

LOCAL ITEMS.

The Houston Telegraph says sthe Demo
cratic Statesman of the 18th shows decided
improvement in its local column" For the
life of us we can't see it. The Statesman is
one of our best exchanges, and the only one
we have from Austin, but we seldom get any
local news from it.-San Antonio Herald.
We are sorry that we cannot furnish more
local news for our contemporaries, but we
cannot help it. TIE truth is, our city is a
quiet, law abiding place, and does not af-
ford as many murders, robberies, rapes di-
vorces, runaway matches and drunken
rows, as our friends in Houston and San
Antonio might desire to read about and in
wardly digest, but we try to notice every
thing of any consequence that transpires,
and which ought to be made public. Our
judgment is that the local columns Of many
newspapers are filed with stuff that never
ought to be published, and which only
tends to injure instead of beneftting the
public. Is it important to be known,
that Pat Murphy, Caesar Longshins, or
Lycurgus AdOlphus Snug, ESQ.,, got drunk
and was put in the calabooseg Or that
Sally Marie Smiggins was seen, by prying
reporter, at the garden gate, with the
manly arm of Henry Aurelius Higglcsby
around her waist, and the lips Of both reso-
nant with blissful kissesg These things
happen in every community, we suppose,
but is it proper that they shonld be put in
the newspapers Our editorial brethren,
who complain Of want Of local items in our
columns, may delight in these matters-we
do not It is a difference in taste. We re-
peat our conviction, that the local columns
of many of our newspapers, especially at the
North, are corrupting and pernicious. PR
yate matters are made public, which never
ought to be bruited abroad for the sake Of
common decency. In their eagerness
to crafty the craving natures Of the
lovers of local items, many things
are hastily published one day, which
have to be corrected the next, and much i'll
will is often created, and many feelings are
wounded, and quarrels ensue, and some
times bloodshed and murder, and then there
isanothcr local item to record
The number Of our pepper which the Tel
egraph Thought showed decided improve
ment in this local respect, we have gone
back and examined, and find il contains a
quantity Of fictitious items which we
dished up after the fashionable mode, the
local editor being absent. Il was a trifing

TIM Austin Journal makes great point
against US IN the discovery Of a typographi-
cal error in one Of our articles-the want Of
an in the spelling Of a word-and is jubi-
liant over it. Now, these things win happen
in the best regulated families, and VIC
could point them out in every number Of
the Joumal. In the school masters article,
which We took occasion to overhaul. the
other DAY, there was a word left out. as We
eharitably supposed By the printers, which
made the long sentence a perfect botch Of
grammar. and we made no references 70 It.

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1873-07-24

The Statesman IS the object 81 attack
from thc two extremes The extreme Raids
Gals and the extreme Democrats. rs
moderation and prudence are very annoying
to both, and they agree in pitching into Us
with such force and vigor as they are capa-
Die Of using. But they do not agree in
their charges. While the Austin Journal
complains that we are non-committal and
afraid Of offending the leaders Of the party.
and wiz not put forward a plain platform Of
principles, its extreme democratic brother,
the Victoria Advocate, accuses US Of s'ef-
fronteryr and attempt at dictation. Neither
Of them can sustain their charges, and both
Of them would be glad if We would take
the course, which they pretend to be-
lieve we are taking, when they know
the reverse is true Without any
shadow Of dictation or .'effrontery,' p
we have been clear and explicit on
the course which we think it prudent for
the Democratic party opursue, and we have
not hesitated to denounce both the extreme
railroad and anti-railroad men and papers,
who would break up the good old Demo-
cratic party, if they could, or else have not
sense enough to see that the course they are
taking will inevitably bring this about.
The Victoria Advocate is exhibiting more
''effrontery'' and less good sense than any
pretended Democratic paper in Texas. We
are not to be schooled and disciplined in
Democracy by paper which charges that
''the leading organs of the Democracy are
allied with the bond holding human OPP
pressors of the land, y and that 'the honest
farmer has no choice between a spurious
Democracy and fraudulent Republicanism. y
The Democratic party, we suppose, has
always had few such crazy asses in it as
the writer of such stuff, but, thank heaven,
they have never been able to control it.
Such men are the only spurious Demo
Gratis, we know of, and they are the only
ones who make any trouble in our ranks.
If they cannot have their way in anything,
they begin to talk about the corruption of
the Democratic party, and help on the Radi7
Gals in their warfare against it. If they
don't like the Democratic party and its prin-
ciples, let them join the Radicals at once, or
say openly that they are for getting up a
new party. The assertion of the Advocate,
that we have been striking at the farmers
is utterly untrue. We have opposed the
getting up of a farmers party, and have
insisted that the Democratic party has al
ways been farmers party, and is all that
the farmers need for the protection of their
interests. That is the whole of it, and the
Advocate ought to know it, if it has read
our editorials and had sense enough to UNI
derstand them. There are plenty of fools
in this world, who are always trying to
start something new, imagining they are
wiser than all who have gone before them.
