Democracy here ia oonfased and oon
foaoded. This is tbe sixth day of the Con
tention, and what the issue will be, at this
writing, no Democrat is hazardous enough
to predict. Bat certain it is, if oaths could
be stamped in the mint, the Democracy of
Washington could famish, in one day, cur
en cy enough for the nation after retirieg
every dollar of paper. It does me good
not the sweariag, but the desperate eondi«
tion they are in. I am sensible of my Chris
tian duties, and I try to cultivate sympathy
for their distress but it 'e no use. There is
too much wiokednees in me, and I can't help
feeling good, the beat I oan do. 1 don't like
the Democracy, and never did. If 1 were
supplicating concerning it, as the old Sootch
priest was concerning h» enemy, when be
begged the Lord to "shak* him over the mouth
o' hell, but dinna let him fall in," 1 am afraid
1 should omit the last injunction. 1 am made
deeply sensible of the depth of human de
pravity, when 1 observe how keen and on
oooquerable is my delight over the miseries
of the Democraoy. I beg forgiveness for the
•in, but I must enjoy the fun.
If our readers have not seen all the daily
proceedings of the Convention, they will
have done so before tbey peruse this artioie.
And in ail seriousness I desire to draw the
attention of oar Demooratio friends in par
ticular to one matter plainly demonstrated
by the record. They deny that the South
has been making aggressions in the interest
of Slavery, and especially that the Demo
cratic party, under their influence, has been
made the instrament of these aggressions.
