-The following picture ofern dcmocracy is statod to be from the Nantuckci Iilander, a democratie paper. " IVith aiio honorable exceptions, thr, lende s of fhc, democratie ptirtij are among the most. contcwptible of crcatr.d. crctiturcs. actual, libela on humanity, and poitticul Idas p'iamcrs against the digniuj of Heaven.

' This sounds like strong lnnguago, and such it s; but there is 'more truth than poetry' in it. - That the party, as. such, seldom fails to applaudandi'phoid the tervility of the leaders, ie too true; but we cannot tliereíorc come to the conclusión that all ;he votera of that party are abeolutely corrupt and without principio. On the" contrary, we believe that a considerable portion of ihem will yei becorne supporters of the gen uine liberty principies. But wo confesa that the utter hoartleasness - the ïndifference- the base sulmiission to slaveholding dictation - tho servility ol spirit and degradation of evcry independent feeling inanifested on most occasions, by the acts of ihat party, have greatly imptiired our zeal for iheir regencration, and causcd us to say lesa rea;ec:ing their delinpjenciea than we othcrwise -hould.
