'Party of ReiniOinutist, is one thole Ear
„lee% wl h evety inan "
.Vrnits first formation, and after
It hturachieved a success by the prestige of
(ho purity Cr its princli*s, the heraldry of
Democracy at once became a watch-word
.with tho ,people, and Democratic men and
measures were recognized in political circles
as the only standard by which to control the
'equilibrium of government. When the Do
inocratio party first emerged into power, the
fires of Revolutionary battle fields were
scarcely quenched—because from the prin
ciples which led on to that struggle, Demo
,erticyen this continent hod Its birth„npd by
a careful inenlcatien of those came truths,
the grandetirs of the country have been de
veloped, its wealth has been increased, its
,- power augmented, and all classes, silently
pursuing their different channels of indus
try, have been blessed with prosperity.
But the chitiges and the struggles to main
tain those principles, have been as various
• as they were strange and at this juncture of
our political history, deserVe• morn •-than.o
dismal allusion. , It nas long before the war
of 1812 that those who sternly advocated,
what was then termed a hostile policy, be
came aware of the aristocratic opposition
with which they would be compelled to con
tend, and that opposition was centred in the
mcrchaut priuoes of every sea board
mc
tropolia, and
. even tunny raeLa.:ed to the
lordling manufa.lturer, who arrogated to
himself the right to control the masses; and
trample in the chkst mop whose brows were
moistened with the sweat of honest labor.
This division of legislation was brought
about by rho tariff tmestion, :mei while_
good men were on both sides, and honestly
differed, it nax by tiro f me of DeMocratie
principles that the question was settled and
the excitement allayed. Then commenced
the triumphs of Democracy, and they have
never ceased, until to day, the party around
which our readers rally, has becorrio the
party - arm . ruion - , and iiinst cVentturcly
control every department of the Govern
ment.
Trt this history and reference to the Do
mcicratio party, the people of Pennsylvania
have more thart a common interest, because
the attacks from trhtoh thot have suffered,
Came invariably from the foes of Demo- ,
cracy. The soil of the old Keystone is not
only rendered sacred by the brightest deeds
of our political and Revolutionary history—
but it has been disgraced by a misrule, from
the effects of %hose influence we now suffer.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania have been
compelled to contend with every faction—
and the Democratic party has never failed
either to crush out an enemy or convince •
deluded - tilizeu of his error. Abolitionism
and Anti-masonry, Free-soil retiegailistn,
combined a ith d' i rappointed ambition, la
bored as harmlessly as blue light:fanaticism,
to arrest the progress of pure principles.
They were the vain efforta of insane men,
prompted to mischief by the hope of rim
and eVisfied in their disappointment if they
managed to create confusion in covremonitiee
and jealousies in families. From these
cliques, again sprang a new force which
ruled. with a tyrant grasp and for a time,
threatened the ruin of religious and civil
-rights. It vies Know-Itiothingisin, pledged
to the overthrow of Pennsylvania Demo•
cracy. But thanks toa free publication of
sentiment, the heresy has" been smothered,
and this fact constitutes the evidence of the.
grandeur and the moral attitude of Penn
sylvania Dctriociacy. For a half century
Democratic principles have been silently but
I steadily advancing, and even in tam hour of '
itheir arrest, the influence of their past sue

"Vi thattouches h .is sure to lie. de=

it often beelnates the dut of an. editor to
throw himself In the'way of ailing pitch,
M order to sustain the principl of. truth,
and prevent, if possible, the prosti lion of
justice. This has been the unfortuna and
no less . disagrecable duty of the Watch, lb
We hare endeavored fairly .to discuss every
1 tnenzare of public inierest—and in doing so,
have avoided all personalities, and stigma-`

Illth, not enty'at the editors of this. journal;

tirely disconnected with- the djscussiott—
add in a manner which reminds us of the
preacher who was annoyed by having his
plaguirism detected by au eccentric op au
ditor, cried out, "that man is a d,—n hog,"
and the old man at once responded, by ad
mitting the originality of the expression.
We make the application by crediting the
editor of tle.Free-Love organ with the old

t
ur reference to the liquor trials was
c led for by the 'circumstances eCottneettd

what the sensible portion of this community
has admitted was both manly and just. It
makes but &small dittirencti to kayo it as

damaged by. such allusions, „because the
truth is selrapparent, that temperance is

we complain of—and of this we had a right

in litigation for the sake of notoriety and not
morality—and they ere more entitled to half
of the debauchery which all good men de
plore, than all the rum.palaoes,",of which
they complain, in the land. The Carson
League has accomplished only that confu
sion in communities which fanaticism ever
breeda—and thfriv Id, honest, wand - hearted
philanthropist, is h ft to thesad reflection that
what vi as designed by the moral Impulse of
the pure, had become an engine for the — per.
secuting spirit of every knate. The good'
men tt ho first started the temperance refor
mation, were imbued with feelings and
prompted by different motives, from those
which ilea , keep alive these modern re
formers—and we would fit stilly to (liar

bu'ru or reared to the trade of billingsgate,

strength. We leave such soocunplishmeits
to the monopoly of the Carson League, and

express such exalted sympathy, good men
have been corrupted in honoi, by being in
