THE NEW cossuterio3 AND THE
DEMOCRATS:
The man who furnishes the edito
rials for the .Arglis preStmes too
much upon the ignorance of the peo
ple, in parading before the readers
of that sheet articles cliiiming for
the democratic party the credit of
the great reform which it< is hoped
the new constitution will inaugurate
in the management!of the! affairs of
the State. He semis' to Oirget that ,
it was a-republican legislitture that
called the - conven4on tol form the
new constitution, and thit: a majority
of- at body were republicans that
with but few exceptions republi
can press of the State advocated the
•
adoption of the constitut ion. It is
true, some prominent republicans of
the Stare and - in this corintylippos
ed it, and we believe conspientiously,
because no one denies, the
_fact that
there are very grave blunders in the
instrument, which will have to be
remedied. Bat did not the demo
crats oppose it, too? We could name
several in this county who didi and
in the State some of the Most promi
nent members of that party exerted
a'.l their influence against! it. In this
county, as a rule, in the strong re
publican districts, but little opposi
lion was manifested.
The truth is, the great [mass of the
republican party are hisnest and
have adhered to the prinOples upon
which the party vas organiz.ed—hon
estY and economy in the administra
tion of the government. ! When the.
republican party came into power in
this State, it received as a bequest
from the defunct demo4ratie party,
which, had ruled the. State for years,
a State:debt of over for* millions of
dollars. LesS than twenty years of
repnblican role' has reduced the debt
to about twenty millions, besides
having accumulated a 'sinking fund
of ten pillions, which w4l be applied
toward the liquidation of the debt.
All this has-been accomplished by
the republican party, while the extra.:,
ordinary expenses incident to' the
war were met, and State taxes on
real estate and nearly :all personal
property aboliihed. Did ever a par
ty make a,-prouder record?-.:.1n the
management of our . ciountY - affairs
the same wisdom, prudence and 'Strict
economy have been manifest.- Our
taxes are nothing compared. with
those of democratic counties adjoin.:
ing us, and the expenses of the coun
ty, are not nearly so great now, in
comparison with the growth of the
county, as thy were under demo
cratic rule thirty years 'itgo.
These facts are all known to the
iceople, and the Argue/greatly under
rates their intelligence and judgment
if it 'believes they will eV..er again con
sent 'to place in' power the party
who - • 'record in county, state and
national affairs is one of extravagance,
corruption and ruin. .
Tiu attempt of Col. Von:iny to ar
rogate to himself and the Pres. all
the 'creclii of the adoptiOn of the , new
_constitution, does not Meet the 4tp
prehalion 'of the friends!of
the thronghout the State.. Neither'
will his ungentlemanly and cowarAly
attack on Senator CA3tImON and others
who .were honestly opposed to the
neW constitution, add anything, to
his credit. Senator CASIEBON'S patri
otic and unselfish devotion to the in
terests of the country, and his trium:-
pima vindication by the people at
the last Gubernatorial.f.election are
matters of history, and 01 that the
Pres..; may say against Lim will not
injure his good reputation with in
telligent men. That the!General has
faults and that he has committed er
rors, we do mot deny, but CoL Fon-
Nu's political ' record is not above
suspicion ; indeed, it is more than
suspected that many of ; the frauds
in the city elections of which he cona;.
plains, were inaugurated - by himself
the campaign of 1856; when,thro'
his manipulation this State was
Sr.udnlently carried fOi JAMES Er-

the Democratic' 1 persuasion from
Maryland. He set the ilionse in .a
roar the other clay by describing very
grave,ly his feelings when he heard
'that the salary bill had pissed Con
gress. "It was upcn the night , of
the 3d of March, or rather early on
the morning of the 4th, that' the
startling news was
,broright to me.
While it had been pending, we had
been taught at home to regard it as
another scheme of the Republican
pariy to plunder the viuntry, and
that the Derciocratic party had no
lot or part itrit. But when I found
it vas passed by Democratic Totes
Land probablyAvhen he 'found also
that the increase applied to bim as a

Speaker, that I was, so to speak,
staggered-as it were, and!' came to
the conclusion that perhilps it was
- .
not so reprehensible as I had been
led to believe." What rel4nce, what
sublime faith, has O'Bsits in the
Pitrity. of the Democratic party

OES ;DEFEAT.
.
: The truth is Clwaylbnter.. than a
lie, There is not `a particle ofuse in
denying, ali B°l:anti our japers have
I
attempted, that! we were efeated in
the electiohs this fall. . T say noth
ing about the morality o endeavor
ing to deceiv4 l their r aders and
_hiding thC extent, of our defeat, it is
'extremely bad t i;poliey. We, cannot
expect people rectify istakes un
less they are convinced that mistakes
have been made; or induce Republi
cans to: attend ,470.3 electidns next fall
by telling theni that they did just as
,
well by staying) at home his fail, that
the political sqes are clear and eve 4
rything going 'ion right. 1 nt is like
watchmen 6rynag all is well, when
the city is on Are !
Satan, accoTaing to John Milton,
when addressing his shattered legions
after their defeat, knew better than
to claim a vic tory. The'' Prince of
Liars was too 'wise to tell. a lie which
nobody would' beliaie, and`. he en
claimed: " What tho' the field be lost!
All is not,lost—the unconquerable
will and courage never to submit or
yield.", Some people have Satan's
propensity to lie, without his shrew&
ness to tell tho truth, when it would
answer their purpose a great - deal,
better.
Onrgoverruieut at the beginning
of the late war, imitating the prac
tice of monarchial- governments, and
fearing the dpressing influence it
might have, attempted to Conceal
great'military disasters as lotto - b as
possib e from the people but it was
soon and to bcra miAttke., A gov
ernm t deris powers, from the
peopl and deillMt upon them for
its su port, must confide in, them 4
it WO d have their confidence.
If e wish the Republicans to. re
gain t eir loSt ground, they should
be m e acquainted' with the extent
of th it' loss. i We slionld admit our
defea
~, discusalts causes, suggest its
remedy; and ithen ,we may safely
leave
r a
the result to 1 Providence and
the p ople. We have lost the States
of N w York,lohio and Viinconsin,
our ajorities` are everywhere great
ly minced, ankin ,this county one
of our candidates is'defeated, anoth
er barely elected, and the 'majorities
of the others ;nothing like 'the old
fashioned majorities to which
,they
were entitled.'
It is no satisfactory explanation of
this state of things to say that it is
the " off year." WhS' should , there
be an of year? Is there: a large
number in the party who exhaust
themselves sot completely during the
presidentialcampaign, that they have
'not strength I enough, left to drag
thicmselves to 'the polls the next year?
The democrat; exhibit no such symp
tetra; of gener 1 debility.
The cause of the off year, in my
opinion, is this: many of our, mein
t ers Of Congress and political lead=
ers, having secured the election of a
Republican President and got_ the
offices they desired, or the appoint
ment's they asked for, sit down like
glutted lions Coo-lazy to hunt, and
fail to perfcirm the dutie.4 of watch
men on the watch-tower and sound
the alarm while the enemy are sap
ping the foundations of the . citadel,
Some leaders who have not been so
fortunate in getting gorged, with
presidential ottage—soured, cha
grined and disappointed,--retire to
-their dens,. net coming out again ex
cept to do mischief for a year or two.
The peoplelthus deserted by their
accustomed leaders forget that "eter
nal vigilance is the price of liberty,!'
that there can be no truce in moral
warfare, that! the 'most self-evident
truths, the plainest maxims of right,
and the purest principles of justice
must be battled for continually, if we
Would haVe them prevail.

On the teamer to CaMay he

who in may words told °Oki wealth
and titles and to the partaking of
sundry bottles of champae invited
his lordship. As the win began to
