The wide spread feeling of nationality that

death-kaell to the hopes of modern Democra-

the recent centennial in Massachusetts, DEM
onstrates the devotion of the people to the uni
ty Of the Republic and the rights Of citizenship
it secures. It shows that the control Of the
country will never be entrusted to the hands Of
a party whose history lisa consistent expression

It is amusing to witness the nervous efforts
Of some Of the Democratic marplots Of the
South in their attempt to fall in with the ma

grand centennial year of 1876 will herald a
fresh awakening OF the patriotic impulses of
the country, and leave the sectional obstruc-
tionists and demagogues high and dry to them
selves. The utteranccs of July 4th. 1876, at
Philadelphia. will be taken up at the ballot box
in November, 1875, and crystalized into endur-
