prwocnACY pAsr Ann rnEsExr

Gen. Chalmers. one of the Confederate
leaders, n gentleman who. before the late
war; was one of the tire-eatcrs of the
South. has been brought to realizing
sense Of the fact, that something has hap
pcned In this country. In a late speech,
at Friar's Point. Mississippi, he said that
the Democracy of to-day j. not the De
mocracy of the past any more than the
fashions of to-day are the fashions OF the
past. "'rhc Wing party said he clo-
quently, sleeps in the graves of Web
ster and Clay, and the Secession Dcmoc-
racy lies buried In the tomb of Calhoun
and under the little hillocks which mark
the last resting places of the Confederate
dead"
Gen. Chalmers was one of the gentle
men who followed in the footsteps of
Calhoun. the great pervcrter of the DEM
ocratic party. and he now asserts that
was true Democracy that has passed
away ~ fashion. In clothing pass away.
| This is not true. The Democratic party
| Of to-day is growing into a resemblance
of the Democratic party of the past. be-
fore Calhounism tainted il with the doe
trine of notification and taught 1t to be :
licve that Sccessionism was patriotism.
The wise principles of government incor-
porated into the first inaugural address
of President Thomas Jefferson might to-
day be taken. word for word. a. a decla
ration OF Democratic doctrines. and would
have been the ark ofsaicty OF That party
m the past, had it not been induced by
the Calhouns. ianceys and 1oombscs to
embark It's fortunes with slavery in Sc
cession.
| But all is not lost. Those of the party
who have survived the storm have re-
turned from following after false politi-
cal gods, and again are gathering about
the affairs erected by the fathers of the
Democratic party-are again putting on
the political clothes of the old and plIrcr
days OF the Republic.
