The most correct description we have seen Of
the present dominant party which, to gain the


miserable ends of private ambition, has drag
ged down our State from her former high posi-
ton, and made her name by-word and reproach,
isfound in an article copied in the last Southern
Reformer, from the Aberdeen, Miss, Advertiser,
a Loc9foco paper. The writer says:


"McNuH has created democracy but it is a
democracy Of the most inveterate malignacv.
cruel sneer, ana atrocioUs scorn, thatwould make
the pOpulace but another name for all above it
IN intelligence, industry, virtue, and sobrety.
stocks and stones only to be thrown down and
to rear upon its ruins wild anarchy and unlimit-
ed power. His democracy looks to an overthrow
OF the established order of things, as the most di-
rect path to emolument and power. Wherever
there is tumult, suffering and oppression. this
sort of democracy can and will suck sustenance.
There is no philosophy more false than the con-
ception that public evils are independent ofindi-
vidual excitement The history of every period
Of great public calamity engraved upon the re-
cords OF humanity, points out with unerrinp GER
tainty some actual leader OF the evil. some pro9i-
gate originator of the discomfort. To snrpad
this discomfort through the community, and to
sow the seeds so that future calamity NAV arise
requires talent and ability of no ordinary kind.
These notorious inocuators of political pesfi-
lence, swarm, incubate, and carry their eggs to
every corner Of the country-from these s6ring
those materials which work out public mischief.


No Wing pen could have drawn a more cor
rect picture of the Democracy which now curses
our State, than is thus given By locofoco.-
Such is the Democracy which the Wings seek
to overthrow, and which, if we mistake not the
signs Of the times, will soon pass away, and only
be remembered with loathing and contempt
