Democracy National.
In a letter repoently written by lion. JANIJI
B. Ctar, in reply to one from a committee of
the "Clay Whigs of Steuben county." asking
his views in regard to Kentucky politics, he
makes this emphatic declaration :
"It is my intention,by every Isossorable
mass in my power, to :attain and support
Lie Democratic party, AS THE ONLY PO
LITICAL ORGANIZATION WHICH lIAS
THE WILL AND THE POWER TO PRE
SERVE TUE UNION FROM DISSOLU
TION."
The NATIONALITY of the Democratic party
should oommand the support of every patriot
throughout the land, as earnestly as it has
enlisted that of the son of the"gallant Harry."
Thera is but one party now with a platform
broad enough to corer the whole country,
north and south, east and west--and that is
the old time-tried Democratic party.
Prospects Still Brightening
All the Democratic papers in the State
that first sympathized with the Forney call
for a State Convention, excepting the Doyles
town Democrat, and the Lyooming Casette,
(Packer's home organ) we believe have, since
the holding of that convention, denounoed
their proceodings and bare publicly declared
their intention to stand by the organization
of the party and support the ticket nominated
by the Democratic Convention, on the 16th of
March. In the list composing those papers
who hare refused longer to follow the dictates
of thadesigningdemagogues that beaded this
movessaut, is the Allentown Democrat, Perry
Desocna, lilosearset Desocroa, Pittsburg
Pest, Washington Review, Armstrong Deno
emit, and the elision Democrat, (edited by
Ka. Distfestbaoh, Deputy Secretary of the
Commonwealth.) The last nursed paper, Ia
closing as article o this sehinet, says t

Philadelphia Election.
Eacograying Result!—The election fur
Treasurer, Commissioner and CoUncils, took
place in Philadelphia on Tuesday last, and
the result is far more encouraging to the De
mocracy than was generally expected. It is
now safe to predict that at the election next
fall. Philadelphia will roll up a Democratic
majority
Read what the National Argus says of last
Tuesday's tautest:
The result of the election of Tuesday last is
of a most encouraging character to the De
moorsey of the city and of the State, It
spmiks in language not to be misunderstood.
The fact that the sober second thought is at
work; that the mon who belong to the Dem
ocratic fold, bat who through the delusions
and misrepresentations of ambitious and de
signing demagogues, have been led awe to
wander after error and false
gods, are just
returning to the ark of their safety. The re
sult betokens& bright and glorious future for
Democratic principles and Democratic men.
BOW twelve months sinee a political storm
arose. and the waves of popular wildness
lashed into a very fury by the raging of the
storm, role to a height that swept away the
noble Democratic host who were struggling
snanfally against the tempest. The Demo
cratic Mayor, Richard Vous, was carried
down with a popular majority against him of
forty-seven hundred votes. This over, still
the wild waves ef fanaticism, Abolitionism,
and all other isms continued to rise until the
candidates of the Democracy in October last
were ovikwhelmed by six thousand five hun
dred majority. But here, as last Tuesday's
developments have demonstrated, the storm
bad spent its fury, and gradually and surely
the wild waves that were threatening the
annihilation of the Democracy, commenced
to subside. Reason once more resumed her
throne, and the reaction has commenced.—
Iristead of the Democratic candidates being
beaten nearly seven thousand, as they were
but six short months ago, the mejority now
against them is but little more than two
thousand, and in every ward of the city, save
three, have the Democracy partially regain
ed their vantage ground. Such a result Ul3.

done, with hope and confidence in the future.

ies and exultantly sure of another. The De
mocritcy:whilst not dismayed, still were die
pirited by the reverses that they had met,
and the annoyances that traitors in their
midst were causing them. But true to their
party and its principles—true to its noble,
patriotic and devoted head, around whom, as
the Chief Magistrate of the nation, they were
prepared to stand like a wall of fire, they
went gallantly into the fight, never counting
the damages nor fearing the result. Their
effort is before thorn and before the country,
and the spirit it has infused into the whole
Democratic family will insure future victory.
The day of the People's party has gone by—
lt must go where all the ephemeral and evan•,
nescent organisations that, from time to time,
have essayed to stay the progress of the Dem
ocratic party, have gone before, into an ob
scurity of oblivion. The Democratic party is
the only party 'which has ever existed in the
country, that sustains a defeat and still lives,
All others have gone down, and must go
down. They cannot live under an overthrow, I
and If they shall continue fora short time, it
lis but to eke out a miserable existence. But
the Democratic party will nct die.—lt has
within it a life of inspiring spirit, that will
instil vitality into it as often as circtunstan
oes shall demand it. No defeat can crush it
--no reverse can dismay it ; but as often as it
is borne down, from the dust the defying
shout is heard " up guards, and at them."—
Ever has this been, and ever will it be. The
Democratic party is the party of the country.
No other party has aw existence from the we.
ter* ef the Aroostook to the Rio Grande, and
from the broad Atlitetio to the wide rolling
Pacific. Traitors may attempt to betray it,
bat it will still live. .Dissatisfied and disaf
fected camp-followers, may bang around it fur
opportunities to stab it, but it will still live.
Egotistical vanity, perverse resentment and
pestilential maliciousness may essay to injure
it, bail it will still live. It will not be kept
dowes...it will not die. In its darkest boars
it has life sulliciezit to stand up in defence of
its principles—its obosen champions, and
acknowledged head. The men of the Demo
staticparty, the solid men, never desert the
Party law hi leaders, but will strip the dis

Most Astounding Developments--
Confession of Ilearion Crop.
We have procured a pamphlet, says th•
Philadelphia .Argur, purporting to be the
confession of Marion Crop, who was recently
hung, in Baltimore, for the murder of officer
Rigdon. This pamphlet is written by a Rev.
erend gentleman who was p spiritual adviser
of the condemned man, and is vouched for
by him as being correct under oath. The
ilevelcpments made in it are of the most
otartling, oharacte?, and str , w that the "Rip
Raps" and " Plug Uglies" of Baltimore are
'oclubs" which have made murder their pas
time, and in thoir hellish deeds have been
upheld by high official.' in that city, As soon
as the confesf.ion was published, the Rever
end gentleman who prepared it was compell
ed to tly from the city in 4isgui.. o to save hi e
lifit, so startling were its devolopments,
that two of the most prominent publishing
houses in Baltimore deolined to print it, al
leging that they feared, if they did an, that
the "clubs" would destroy their property and
murder them. We extract portions of the
confession, suppressing the names of parties
for obvious reasons:
