THE pENAT1oNAL1zED DEMOCRACY

THE DENATI0HALIZED DEMOCRACY.
That telegrarh-has been the ruin o
Democratic nationality. Professor Mors
made manifest the extreme Indifference o
.. Democratic Congress to the revolution
He might have added, that it was Dem
ocratic principle to oppose any measure
development, because it tended to chang
that status which Democracy deemed per
fiction. But the telegraph, which betrayed
the secrets OF the tariff Democracy o
Pennsylvania, and the free trade Democ
racy of Mississippi, fighting the Wings O
each section for not being sufficiently pro
tective in the first State, and for favoring
Yankee manufactures in the second
binding together Mr.. Benjamin T. Butler,
of Massachusetts,, and Mr.. Jefferson Davis,
States rights Democrat Of Mississippi.
This memorable telegraph has continued
to expose the same fragrant frauds up
to the present day. Did the Christian
Morse carry his indignation against
the opponents Of science into the other
world? viii some medium please call
and give us message to enlighten us.
We may suppose the great philosopher
would disclaim any factious sentiment,
and say with the shade of JuniUs OF an

But the ineyorable wire still does its
work. No plot can be formed to harmon
ize Democratic antagonism on two sides OF
any question, but this pestilent invention
which Morse has bequeathed. to the ruin
of political intri guers, ticks instantly the
secret intent to the world, and even be
fore the complot has been perfected the
public has tapped the Democratic wire,
and all is known. The latest case in which
Democracy has been struck by lightning is
that of the Ohio platform. We have shown
the extremely cold comfort extended to
the States rights Democracy of the South
by the warlike Allen. striding after
the Louisiana 'srebels'' at the head of
fifty thousand Ohio Democrats. The Gin
cinnati Commercial is Oh the alert and
proves that the platform Of Democracy is
az little satisfactory to the North as to the
South. The Ohio Democracy is boldly
charged by the Commercial with plotting
the destruction Of the national credi:-o:
intending to effec. by indirec:ion wha.
Mr.. Pen0ieton. Democrat. was charged
and. perhaps. convicted Of having in
tended by another means: the destruction
Of the national credit and the .epea, Of
the national debt. Here is the !onm.y- |

The effect Of this policy is declared to
be this:

the very measures 20 reduce the national |

with the mortal agony with
which the national Democracy strives to
,x.ricate itself from the tolls and coils
which Morse has thrown around. Here
S the national situation: At the North
Democracy denounces the State rights of
louisiana as an ''insurrection" which it
will march $4,000 men to suppress. The
Democracy is disguised with
uch doctrines. They suddenly see
hat they have no hope Of aid from that
uarter. and cease 70 take an interest in
he plans Of the party. At the North De-
aocracy SO far abahdons the PLATFORM Of
