Democracy.
From the days of Tnlleyrand, who first
publicly announced the theory that
" Language was given to man to enable
him to etnaccal his thoughts" down to the
present day, there has never been a more
successful or extensive application of the
doctrine, and at the same time, successful
attempt at false pretenses, than that which
has been practised by the "so called Dem.
ocratic party" for the last half century.
Called into existence as a party, under
the leadership of the immortal Jefferson,
at a time when there was an evident in
tention to so mould our institutions as to
centralize power in the hands of the Ex
ecutive and heads of Departments, it nat
urally- attracted to its folds the majority
of the American people, many of whom
bad come to this country as an asylum
from the tyranny of the old world, add
naturally sought affiliation with that party
which held doctrines differing most
from those which obtained in the country
from which they had fled. As a natural
and inevitable consequence,tlae Democratic
party became the popular party, and of
course the dominant party, but to perpet
uate the power, (aud patronage, for it was
the Democratic party that originated the
doctrine that "to the victors belong the
spoils,") thus obtained, it became neces
sary to change the tactics of the party,
and to use all the means at their com
mand for the securing of votes; and by
.tracing the history of the party it will be
found that it long since lost the peculiar
features which had given it its first pop
ularity, i. e. its devotion to the interests
of the many in opposition to the interests
of the few, and as much as thirty years
since, it ceased to be a party of principles
and degenerated into a mere name, advo
cating one set of principles iu one latitude,
and another set iu another, as witness the
base swindle practiced upon the honest
yeomanry of PLunsylvania when the De
mocracy (?) carrried this great State for
James K. Polk, by announcing him as
" a better tariff mau than Henry Clay,"
and parading the streets with their ban
ners and transparencies, inscribed " Polk,
Dallas and the tariff of '42". About this
time an institution came into existence in
Pennsylvania known as " the common
school system,"—not indebted to the
Democracy for its inception, (but to Thad
deus Stereos, and a few other's of that
school of politics,) although the party
does attempt to glorify the administration
of Gov. Wolf, -for its adoption—which
said institution was calculated to open the
eyes of the voters'tii the real designs of
-politicians,-(there ist no eye-salve like 61,
uciatiori to remove scales,) and our Detai
ner:lde leaders, finding the ignorance of
the masses of the North no longer afford
ed them a secure tenure of office, threw
themselves into the arms of the South,
leaving behind them, as cast off garments,
all their old anti-slavery doctrines or pre
tensions; (the most ultra anti -slavery res
olutions ever passed by any Legislature
south of the latitude of Boston, were pass
ed
by the Democratic—largely Democratic
—Legislature of Pennsylvania, during the
administration of Gov. Wolf.) From that
day to the present, the Democratic party
has only existed in the name, i. e. the " so
called Democratic party" has had nothing
democratic about it, except the name.—
Finding, as we before stated, that they
could only retain their hold of the loaves
and Eshes, by truckling to the South, and
thus receiving them as allies, the Dem
ocratic party commenced the crusade
against the negro, first by an amendment
to the Constitution of Pennsylvania, dis
franchising the few of them who, under
the already sufficiently proscriptive laws
of the State, were allowed the franchise,
then by the enactment by Congress of the
infamous Fugitive Slave Law, under the
operation of which persons were made to
suffer for merely giving a crust of bread
or a cup of cold water to a famishing
negro who was attempting to escape from
the worse than Egyptian bondage, under
which. he had suffered in the laud of
chivalry, then by the still more in
fumous Dred Scott decision of the man
Taney, who will be known in future as
not being satisfied with the amount of in
famy he had earned by his consenting to
become the tool of Jackson, in the " re
moval of the deposits," the result of which
was so disastrous to the business interests
of the country, but must needs add to his
black record the prostitution of the sacred
ermine at the behests of the same Dent
ocrizek party. _Democracy is defined as
"a Government of the People," and a
Democrat as "one who adheres to. a
Government by the people, or favors the
" extension of the, right of suffrage to all
classes of men."— Webster. Now mark
the course of this party, from the day
when they were first threatened with the
introduction of education, which would
necessarily open the eyes of the citizens
of such districts as had sense enough to
accept its beneficent provisions, to the
present, and witness its close affiliation
with the party which holds to the Divine
Right of the few to rule 'the many, and
t. ap e , opriatie to themselves their earn
ings. Witue-s the Mexican war, waged
at the mist of so many valuable lives, and
the subsequent purchase of Texas. at the
cost of so many millions of money, all for
the purpose of at/arging the area of
slavery, and perpetuating the power of
the Democratic party. Witness the moral
encouragement given to the South, to in
augurate the last bloody conflict, which,
but for the insane desire of that party to
retain a political preponderance, would
have been as bloodless a.- war of ideas as
that which has preceded any other moral
reformation in the world.
Witness all this; but most degrading of
all, witness their frantic attempts to pre
vent the re-organization of the South, un
der the benign enactments of Congress, fur
their benefit. The present attitude of the
party can only be explained on the hy
pothesis that their leaders are mad, or
that the party is drifting without leaders
—more probably the latter. They see
all the old catch-words lose their p-itency,
the cry of the inferiority of the negro is
met by the Act, (hit! these '• facts are
stubborn things,") that negro orators by
the score, are springing up all through
the South—men who have never read a
book in their lives, except the ever-open
book of nature, and have got all their ed
ucation from facts—addressing public
meetings, composed indiscriminately of
the whilom master and slave, and in which
the latter as ofteu as the former, comes
off victorious in the encounter of mind,
displaying a knowledge of his changed
condition, with the duties: and responsibil
ities which it devolves upon him, for
which his warmest friends had not here
tofore given him credit.
They see that the foreign element is not
so tractable and so easily gulled by the
ad captanduns cry of " Democracy" as
heretofore. Our Irish friends continue
to itumigrate to our shores, as formerly,
and as a general thing, they come with as
small a knowledge of our political institu
tions as formerly, but there is one great
change in the condition of things, which
the Democracy will try in vain, either to
obviate or ignore, and that is, that thous
ands of the descendents of the original
Irish and German immigrants are now—
thanks to our enlightened system of Pub
lic Instruction—educated professional men,
filling prominent and influential positions
in the country, and many of them have
commanded Divisions, Brigades, Regi
ments and Companies, throughout this
long war, (inaugurated through the com
plicity of the Democratic party,) and by
their own experience have learned solTEC
thing of the working of the Divine Insti
tution, e. y. the starving and maiming of
prisoners of war, and a host of other nice
little accomplishments and embellishments
of life, which they do net desire to see
engrafted upon our civilization, and as
the Irish emigrant of the present day can
go for counsel to au educated and intelli
gent Irishman, instead of to one of the
leaders of the Democratic party, that
party now finds itself under the necessity
of getting up a bait for the emigrant that
will first catch the educated Irish popula
tion of' the country, and as that is out of
their reach, the hope of ever again polling
the foreign vote solid is given up in des
pair. They may, of course, occasionally
carry a solitary precinct, (where schools
are scarce, ride, Bucirs county, which
" went it strong " for Clymer,) or, when
an independent issue of a local character
is involved, as in Connecticut, they may
even carry a State; but alas for the palmy
days of the Democracy ; alas for the good
old days when the holding of mass meet
ings and the dissemination of political in
formation through the press was a work
alone for the " Whigs"—when the De-no
cracy calmly waited for the advent of :he
" man that told them how to vote "incl
voted accordiuglY—alas, we say, Air th
good old days, departed never to ret ) .n.
The people have risen to the dignity of
thinking for themselves; they recognize
the divine truths of the Declaration of
Independence; they appreciate the fact
that the world moves, and they recognize
the equally patent fact that the " so called
Democratic party" is dead, and buried
beyond the hope—no, the fear of' resurrec
tion, and all that remains to be done is to
say *to the dear departed
:Editor
"Requieseat in Pace."
- THE majority of the copperhead papers
are doing the Republican cause much
more good than harm by their senseless
ravings, and vain attempts to thwart the
will of the people in their determination
to re-organize the country on a sure and
stable basis; and the hest way to treat
such papers is to " let them alone," as
their arguments generally refute them
selves, but occasionally, an article will
appear which demands notice, and of.this
class is the leader of the ".11r. Y. II'or3"
of last Tuesday, entitled " The Strikes—
Eight hour laws—Lower Prices"—which
will be read by many who will look upon
it as a mere financial affair—a calm view
of the condition of the country and a sug
gestion of " ways and means" to extricate
us from the effects of the high prices, &c.,
&c.. which are seriously retarding our re
turn to the prosperous condition in which
the country was before these same Copper
head papers and politicians plunged the
country into a five years' war. But the
article referred to is a covert attempt to
undermine the feeling which prevades all
classes with regard to the inviolability
of the debt incurred in the suppression of
the rebellion.
President Juhason having failed in his
attempt to create a fccling in favor of
ie
pudiating our sacred. obligations, the
lForld has taken upon itself the honor
able task, but we have no fears of the
effects of his articles, as our coolidence in
the determination of the American people
to pay every dollar of the liability incur
red in the vindication of our Nationality,
is unabated—despite the covert attacks
of the Mr& and all the hosts of Copper
head sheets combined.
An Encouraging Prospect.
While many are predicting a gloomy
• future fbr our country, some id our Trans-
Atlantic cousins send us words of coin
fort and encouragement. An intelligent.
London correspondent of a New York
paper, says he is inclined to think that if
we get things settled in America and ar
range our differences with England befhre
the end of this year, that the next Euro
pean mania for specuiation way turn to
wards the United States, very likely to
the purchase of Southern lands and grand
plans of emigration. In another year
something must be done with the vast ac
cumulation of money now lying idle there
and on the continent. The United States
is in- high• favor. If we have no serious
mishap this will increase. The lavish ex
penditure of Americans in Paris and else.
where, backed as it is in most cases by
unquestioned and rapidly acquired wealth,
is making a serious impression upon
Europeans.
Future Political Parties,
The Cincinnati Commercial says that
parties now are not what they were be
fore the late rebellion began, except in
name. To all intents and purposes, it
says, they arc now parties with no issues
to meet, and new results to work out.
The Northern Democracy can make no
stronger appeals to the South than the
Republicans, unless it be on the score of
political fellowship in years gone by, and
pledges unfulfilled. Will an indulgence
in the sentimental luxury of old memo
ries compensate the South for casting its
fortunes with a party everywhere in the
minority—where it has not shed its seedy
clothes and put on the robes of Republi
can righteousness ? If, in order to re
suscitate its fallen fortunes, the Democra
cy of the North should have to follow the
example of Connecticut, and make lead
ers and standard bearers of men that three
or four years ago they burned in effigy as
Abolitionists, what would be gained by an
alliance with them that is not already as
sured by alliance with the dominant or
ganization ?
European.
Our latest foreign advices indicate that
the war-cloud between Prance and Prus
sia, which at first was " uo bigger than a
man's hand," is now assuming threatening
proportions, and later intelligence from
'Europe will be eagerly anticipated; but
we realy cannot perceive how the affair
is greatly to affect this country, although
many of cur leading journals are predict
ing any amount of injury to our interests
—industrial and commercial—in the event
of' the present misunderstanding culmina
ting in actual hostilities.
Chicago Election.
CHICAGO, April 16.—The election to
day passed off quietly. At this hour, 11
P. M., we have returns from eleven wards,
giving a majority for the Republican
ticket of 2,634. The estimated returns
from the other five wards increase this
majority to 3,784. The Council will
stand, twenty-five Republicans and seven
Democrats.
[Sp.:eta' Correspondence of the Columbia "3py."3
Letter from the West.
BELLEVILLE, ILL., April 15, 1867
If the reader will go with me a Rahe less
than a mile north-west of our city limits,
lie will find it a beautiful wooded country,
with patches of rich prairie where grow the
great crops of wheat for which this country
is noted. lam told by old settlers, that
much of the country hereabouts that is now
covered with a vigorous growth of young
timber, was in their chilhood open prairie.
Such was the case with the locality where
wo are now supposed to be. The ground
here is higher than the city, and Richland
creek; running south, is between us. In a
few years these gentle slopes will, no doubt,
be covered with fine country residences
and luxuriant vineyards, but now they aro
used for growing wheat. Here at our right
is a fine field, along side.of which is the in.
evitable zigzag rail fence. From a casual
glance you would not suppose that a dwell
ing had ever stood in this neighborhood.
A close inspection, however, reveals a slight
cavity which was once a cellar, a few re
mains of a foundation arc also discernable,
and in front stands an old apple tree. Here
was formerly the residence of Col. E. D.
Baker, afterwards U. S. Senator from Ore
gon, and whose valuable life was ended at
the battle of Balls Bluff, in October, ISfli.
The particulars of his death" are thus rela
ted by Victor:
About four o'clock p. m., Colonel Baker, pierc
ed by a number of balls, fell, at the head of his
command, while cheering on ale men, and by
his own example maintaining the obstinate re
sLstance they were making. In full uniform,
with a "regulation" bat and feather, and mount
ed on his horse, lie was a conspicuous mark for
the sharpshooters. EntirelyA l egardless of per
sonal safety, he led and cheer on his men.
remarked to those around him, "A rascal up in
that tree has tired at me live or six tines;" and
the rascal in the tree was speedily brought clown
by a well-directed hall. Soon after this Col. Ba
ker was surrounded by a body of rebel cavalry
and taken prisoner; but the right wing of the
battalion charged with the bayanet, routed the
cavalry, killed numbers of them,and re-captured
their Colonel.
But a few minutes had elapsed, however, when
a tall, ferocious Virginian, with eyes fairly
ablaze, came 'rushing from behind a tree, with a
huge revolver in ins hand, and, placing the
weapon almost against the Colonel's hen in
flicted a mortal wound. Not satisfied with his
deadly work, he fired the second ball, while
simultaneously the body was pierced with four
bullets from the tops of trees, The brave Colo
nel fell lifeless from his horse. Captain Lewis
Berial, of Now York city, commanding Compa
ny (3, California regiment, seeing the fISSELSSiIIa
-0011 of Colonel Baker, rushed upon the radian,
seized him by the throat, and shot hint dead on
the spot with his revolver.
Years ago this city was the home of a larg
er proportion of the leading men of the
State, titan any other single town or city.
Lyman Trumbull, now U. S. Senator from
Illinois. commenced his career in Belle
ville. Many of our oldest citizens remem
ber him as a young and successful practi
tioner of more legal ability than any other
town in Illinois. I have heard them re
mark of the time when he was living here
working himself up from a poor boy. A
few months since I was conversing about
him with an old gentleman, now living
here—a strong opponent, politically, of the
Senator. He said young Trumbull was the
most studious and persevering man he ever
saw. At that time he was in the momm
tile business, and as is usual in country
towns, his store was often kept open late at
night. My old friend informed me, that
whenever ,:,he went home, whether it was
ten, eleven,' twelve, or one o'clock, as he
passed Trumbull's office, the latter was al
ways to be seen pursuing his studies. His
habit was to pace his office backwards and
forwards, his book in ono hand and a can
dle in the other. It was months and years
of this continuous application, that, in part,
has made Judge Trumbull ono of the first
men in a great nation.
Among other prominent men who resid
ed in this city, we might mention Gov. Kin
ney. Gov. Bissel, whose untimely death, 1
while in office, was, at that time almost a
national calamity, Gov. Edwards, Col.
Fouke, and others. Among those still left
aro Gov. Kcerner, late Minister to Spain,
and John Baker, our present member of
Congress, an unobtrusive gentleman of re
markable power, nervous and somewhat
eccentric, and the only man among the Re
publicans, who, at the first session of the
thirty-ninth Congress, had the hardihood
to but against Tiro. Stevens. Mr. Baker,
like Mr:Trumbull, is a self-made man, and
will yet wake his mark. By some legerde
main, the city of Alton usually gets the
credit of being the home of all the promi
nent men in the 12th Congressional District,
and therefore Mr. Bakers residence is giv
en in the Tribune Almanac, as being at Al
ton , while the fact is, ho does not, and
never did, reside there. "Darin."
A. T. Stewfret.
This man is famous, and for nothing but
his wealth. All the papers in tho country
toady after him because hots rich. Harper's
Monthly gives him a grand lauduiion ; the
Philadelphia Home Weekly continues the
Strain and other papers aro loud in praise.
We have heard of none who dare to do other
wise than flutter. But, the fact is, Mr. A. T.
Stewart has but few friends in New York
where his greediness is known. With great
emphasis he declares "Truth" to be the
source of his success and that "fair-dealing"
is the watch-word. • Now, how has he dealt
"fairly" with the public? It is reported to
his credit that. ho has created panics in the
Dry Goods mar ket by buying all of a certain
kind of goods. the market held, and then
raised the price up to his own figures. It
is also related that he undertook to work
the same " Truth" and "Fair Dealing"
game on Boston, but the party to whom he
entrusted his generous designs, beat him
at his own trick. Now what is all this? It
is nothing more than robbery, and every
time Mr. Stewart does it he is dealing un
kindly; nay, that word won't express it—he
is dealing dishonestly with the people. He
strips the market to spring the price in
order to enrich himself. That Mr. Stewart
has become rich because ho has been
"honest," is stuff. He is rich because ho
was shrewd ; because betook every advan
tage he could of the people and the markets,
and though he would not allow a clerk to
raise the price of calico upon an ignorant
customer one cent a yaid, yet he would
raise it ten cents upon millions of people.
If the press will paint Mr. Stewart as he is,
ho will stand out before the world not as
ho now does, but as a shrewd and success
ful speculator, no better than a thousand
Now York merchants and not as liberal and
generous as hundreds of thousands all over
the land who are not worth one-thousandth
part as much.
Ho is rich, but what has he over done to
thank the people for their patronage? He
is, so they say, one of the stingiest men in
New York. When he does give, it is done
with the blast of ten thousand types, and all
the presses of Harper and Leslie, the .7ri
buize and Herald. Richer than Daniel Drew,
yet he has not half his charitable spirit nor
kindliness of heart. Daniel MT AV is a bene
factor of his race. Ms last gift of V. 50,000
is more than A. T. Stewart ever gave away
or ever will. Not even the awful grandeur
of George Peabody seems to affect him to
tenderness and charity. Stewart is no
longer the " merchant prince of New York."
Horace B. Chaffin, ono of God's noblemen,
beat him twenty millions of dollars last year
in the amount of sales; Dlr. Claiiu never
lets his right know of the charity his loft
hand imparts. As a merchant he is respect
ed and revered ; as a citizen he is liberal
and humane and us much the superior of A.
T. Stewart as gold is superior to brass.—
Railroader, C"incinitati Ohio.
Beaturegard to the Rescue.
The little mendatious Creole, one of the
most pestilent of secessionists, who did all
he could to destroy a great nation and set
up a reign of plantation aristocracy on the
ruins of one-third, more or less, of its terri
tory, has come to the surface again. This
time ho Is eating his own falsehoods. He
advises submission ; and then avows tha
opinion that the negro, taught a little and
owning a little property, will make a re
spectable Southern citizen, and vote with
his old master, and thus secure a victory
over Northern radicalism. Bfoturegard is
of no account; except as a weather-cock,
and the way he points note shows just how
much of sincerity ho and his fellow con
spirators had when they insisted that the
colored race were incapable of taking care
of themselves,and providentially boudmen
for their own good. Another thing is rich
in the sublime resignation of Beauregard.
He is extremely anxious that this country
should not be reduced to the anarchical
condition of Mexico and the South Ameri
can republics. In view of the antecedents,
this solicitude of the Rebel braggadocio
would be creditable to him, provided any
body trusted him or cared for his senti
ments.
In this instance, as in others, the rating
passion of the Secessionists is strong in
death. They cannot fight,being out of pow
der. They cannot emigrate, as there is no
land like this to furnish them with bread
and butter. They have been whipped as
arch-traitors, but according to them no dis
honor rests upon their defeated treasonable
purposes. Proudly they bow their heads
to the yoke and endeavor to cajole their late
chattels to come to theirAelp,"so that they
may have another small chance to indulge
their autocratic hatred of dernocratic Yan
kees, and exorcise a little brief influence
without titles of office. Verily it takes the
self-conceit of the -Lees, I3cauregards, and
others like them; a 1(514 time to read the

Mr. Editor:—The deny old "Spy" has just arrivtd.
Don't take ofienee because I call at old. "Ds old
UM Apollo like, w itlt youth ever blooming on its face;
or ocean like, whore the foatueps of time can leave
no track. And with the face and the spirit of youth
it rejoices in a new dress as fresh as that Much
nature outs on in Spring.
Nom ith-tandin- that such is Its face—such its
spirit and suck its dress still it is the "Old Spy,"
"the dear Old Spy."
Other papers come to me atone, this alivay.3 brings
with it a host of friends. The Susquehanna comes
mth it and bids me look on Its broad tranquil bosom
where a hundred isles have made their happy home
floating betwixt two heaven', one above, end another
mirrored deep in the waters below. Col unbia comes,
my childhood home, and bids nic walk its sti cos
again i.. company ta ith the merry youths whose
childhood was passed with mine. The old school
house comes,
"all the same,
With the windows creaking in the frame,"
And bids me take my soot in school agmn.
The old Church too comes, inviting ate to the
Sabbath Set 00l and the altar where the holy man t.l
God raises the voice of prayer, and reads the words
of him who spoke as man nevsr spoke; and than the
choir pour forth the glorious anthem to the ttecl
above; then what a sermon do I hoar, to good old
Methodist sermon, which now, if not among the past,
are, " Rico angels visits, feu , and Ihr between."
Nor are those the only attendants; spirits from the
hill above, come. My sainted mother and father
talk over with mu the past and tell me of the joys
they entered into at the close of their labors here.
I love the "Spy " for its associations and for its
own intrinsic merits, and the best evidence I can
give you is the enclosed to pay my subscription for
another year. Very Respectfully, - a
I.o.trmenz, yld, April 16th,

I drop you these few lines to acknowledge the leccipt

LITERARY NOTICES.
TIIE MAIMET Asstsrxxr. By Thomas
F. DeVoe, New York : Hurd Houghton.
—Storm vague. Mr. DeVoe, author, is also
Mr. DeVoe butcher—"huts learned in suffer
ing what he tells in song." And there is
certainly a sweet juiciness and liquor a bout
his descriptions of choice outs which show
him the master of the foundations of gas
tronomy, without whom Sirillat-Savarin
would be as tin possible us tl:o Sphynx, or
those larded ormlans and nightingales
which Eastern lifble makes around in
the valley of repose, ready cooked and cry
ing to be eaten. After prefatory note
which serves as the Kitsch and Curacon, or
the absinthe and anisette of the repast, Mr.
DeVoe introduers his feast with some very
rational anti well ordered remarks on the
articles we eat and the best methods
or marketing. He then treats of beef, mut
ton, pork, hunt), veal ; the portions we use
from each ; game, poultry, fish, shell-fish,
vegetables, herbs, fruits, dairy and house
hold products, and cooks and cookery. He
gives drawings of each useful part of each
animal, states their comparative merits,
and oilers wise recommendations as to how
they may be selected and improved. To
the true bon vivant this alone would be suc
culent literature. Mr. DeVoe flavors and
seasons it, however, with a thousand and
one rare anecdotes fitted to the theme:
when the biggest bullock was killed, and
what General Scott said of the meat; when
the largest catfish was en tight, where and
by whom ; how the eggs of a butchered tur
tle hatched and hopped about in the stall
where the maternal was slaughtered ; how
saw-fish was conquered iu 1836, which
weighed 3000 pounds. and how Robert
Sehomp, of Reading, N. J., has a goose
known to be in her second century; how
Isaac Saunders' son James killed a bear
which weighed 302 pounds; how a monk
fish was killed from which, when eat open,
a live bird escaned. Mr. DeVoe evidently
has done what few have—he has mastered
the science and the literature of his profes
sion ; he has hung garlands of poetry on
the ribs, chucklebones and second joints of
practice; he has basted his dinner with ap
petizing anecdotes and fat relishes ; he has
enlivened it with appropriate spirit, and ac
complished for the market that apotheosis
which the simple Cobbler or Agawan
brought about for the last. The volume is
exceedingly useful for family use, aid can
be employed for post as well as ante-pran
dial comMrt.
