is as old as the Co - nstitntion, and has
survived all the Arts and wiles, intrigues
end combinations that its enemies could
array against it. There aro old men
whose heads are now "blossoming for
the grate," who gave their first vote
for Nre - Democratic isiwty--ishe-have
y,oted anonally the regnlar ticket of
Democracy ever since—and who have
been the witnesses of the decline and
fall °fins many parties hostile to the
Democracy as . there have been , during
the same peri od, r - CvOliiiion's TitlfexiCO.
" But the old party is not dead yet,
and will not die to accommodate its
pie-bald foes. It. has a high and noble
mission yet to perform,—and it will
live to perform it. It is for the reason
that it is a party of positive principles
and ideas, that it has proved faithful
to the Constitution, to the Union,
and to the sovereignty of the States aml
the people—that it is , :‘ party of stabil
ity and wise and enligliteneil progress—
it is for thcseic;sons that the patriotic
young mon of the country enlist under
its standard, and identify themselves
with it. And wbv should they not ?
What possible motive could a gencrees
and intelligent young man have for
joining the sick, dying Know-Nothing-
Republican* party?—a party t is ever
ehanging—that raffles its prin s les and
its name away every few years—and
whose only bond that unites its discord
ant segments, is hatred of the Demo
cratic party, and an intense love of the
spoils—of office? A young man or an
old man who would marry into such a
political family, must be in iniminent
danger of being consumed by passion
and prejudice."
The M9.4P3

Dec., 1823, declared "as a Trine:pie in

With the Governments which have de
clared their independence and maintain

on great consideration and-oh just prin
ciples acknowledged, we could not view
any interposition for the purpose of op
pressing them, or controlling in any man
ner their dealing, by any European pow.
cr, in any other light, than as the man
ifestation of an unfriendly .disposition
towards the United States."
This declaration has ripened into a
law of the American heart, and it. is
clearly stated by Mr. Casa in his letter
to oar Minister to Spain in the follow
ing foreiblo and an miitakabk+ language:
" The United States will not consent
to the subjugation of any of the inde
pendent States of this continent
.to Eu
ropean powers, nor to the exert:in° of a
protectorate over them, nor to any
other direct political influence to con

the consequences may be."

Amidsilltlic thousand annoyances and
perplesitioa which becloud an Editor's
life, a spot of sunshine is occasionally
soon which instantly dispels the sur
rounding gloom and makes his position
for the time being rather enviable than
othorwiso. Ono of those happy gleams
crossed oar path the other day, for
which we confess ourself sincerely grate
ful. Our good Democratic friend, Mr.
Gtoitaz EPLEY, of rreedoin township,
marched in to our sanctum with a large
fat 'niece); as a (the) contribution to
the " Ed.tor's Christmas dinnai table."
Wo need not say that the bird was am
pruciatingly disposed of, and that the
thoughtful donor was heartily thanked
by all participating in its "di:ions:don."
