WHAT ASM HIM m I
The defenders of the Democratic
party, a tarty whose history is iden
tified with the darkest treachery
and most revolting acts of blood;
whose love ot human slavery lead
it to seek the nation's I fe in it de
fense; whose long catalogue of
crimes agains t God and humanity,
extending over a period of more
than forty years, rendered its exist
ence a mildew and cirse to itself,
as well as to those whom by mis
representation and deception and
fraud it sought to serve; whose life
to-day is but as the existence of a
shell after the kernel is all gone
and its place occupied by the de
stroying worm of evil, or like the
"what is it?" of Barnum, neither
fish, fowl, beast nor human, but a
sort of hideous culmination of all
the evils by which the human mind
is influenced a monstrous mass,
having no heart or conscience, hav
ing nothing but revolting moral
putrescence, kept in being and fed
upon by the maggot individual po
litical elements ot which it is com
posed, constantly changing and
wriggling its tortured position as
its instinct tor plunder, or acute
smell tor power, guide it the de
fenders ot this soulless, headless
Gorgon; this treacherous, blood
accursed monster of crime; this mod-
err presence of moral contagion and
pestilential putridity, set themselves
up as the protectors of public mor
als and the guardians of the purity
of the Church of Christ(?) Great
Heaven! Is there a culmination of
impudent hypocrisy more brazen in
its assumption than that? Talk ot
"clerical wolves," Mr. Mercury,
Why, with this record and exhibi
tion before you readers, how can
you Matter yourself that they regard
you as anytning less than the per
sonification of e'ean-cut hypocrisy?
And you, Mr. Albany Democrat,
you may charge us with writing
one thing during the week and then
presenting its opposite on Sunday;
but my dear sir, if the two unfortu
nate qualities of impudence and
hypocrisy sickly tjqies of each at
that were taken from your make
up, not enough of anything else
would be left of you to fill the
stomach of the smallest animalcule s
baby that ever lived. You the
defenders of public morals ami the
rity of the churches, after having
followed so faithfully for so many
years in the path ot contradiction
and evil which Democracy has set
for you! Can anything bo more
superlative in its monstrous assump
tion than that?
The hypocrisy of our neighor rel
ative to the interests of the farmers,
is thus clearly seen and conipre
hendingly set forth by the States
man', The Albany Democrat has been
engaged for some weeks, in ostenta
tiously patting farmers on the back,
and now when there is a inemler
of Congress to be elected, it sends
the farmers to the rear, thusly:
"We do not lielieve that the (irauge
organization throughout the State
will think tor a moment of putting
a Congressional candidate into the
field. They are not as yet strong
enough in number or perfect enough
in organization, and would there
lore only defeat the object which
they are striving to accomplish and
let the ring candidate, whoever he
may be, glide along to an easy vie
lory."
The Ideas or Bismarck.
A correspondent of the New
York World is given as authority
for the statement that Prince Bis
marck desires to destroy the idea of
God among the German people,
and turn ther worship and adora
tion to the State. The Prince
thinks that it is the idea ot a Supreme
Being that makes people so attached
to liberty. If the adoration ot the
people could be directed to the
State, they would become more
willing to accept despotism. This
correspondent represents that the
Prince regards the contest now
going on in Germany as one
of the Kmpire against the idea of
God; that the reason he made an
attack upon the Catholic Church,
was because he regarded it as the
most formidable. This story ap
pears more sensational than reason
able, and yet the history of many
ot the great warriors and statesmen
of antiquity, who have fallen, shows,
that in their false estimates of the
nature and character ot God, and
his religion, may be found the true
source of their undoing. The great
Chancellor may be treading the
same path.
Where will they (to?
As mercy has lately become a
rejected attribute inDemocra' ic econ
omy, and implacablejustice, regard-
less of atonement, has now become
the basis upon which to adjudicate
all moral offenses in public men,
what are they to do for a candidate
for Congress? Not a Democrat of
them but what has been at some
period of his lite guilty of some im
moral offense, and we will scarcely
be thought extravagant in language
it we assert, that all of their public
men, the ones who run for and hold
office, that the best sample ot this
class lacks many essential ingredi
ents of being a firstclass angel Ab
the Governor's organ at Salem has
taken a positiou in favor of diggi g
out, swine-like, all ot a candidate's
early and late private history, and
abstract justice is to be mceted out
to him based upon that, we would
like to know where under the whole
heavens they are going to get a
candidate. A man without moral
delinquencies must be found, or
their rule, as they apply it now to
Senator Mitchell, will be violated.
Another thing: If searching into
private histories is to prevail during
the coming Congressional tight, if
the Democracy take a candidate
from the names now mentioned,
wnat a revelation ot moral del in
quency there will be,0 my countrymen.

As the Mercury and Democrat
and most of their cotemporaries
have avowedly or by implication
taken a position in favor of nosing
into a man's private, social history,
from the cradle up, to determine
his public qualification, and in favor
of determining each ofleuse against
morals, which may be nosed out,
by the law of abstract justice, we
hope they will begin by subjecting
their own individual lives .to the

just how far they are morally qual
ified to criticise others.

"Sour grapes," is no name for

land, from the Democracy, has oc
casioned among the party journals.
The fact that they pretend as if his
leaving them was a good riddance,
is an evidence that he was of great
importance to them. The party
itself has not had a head for years;
but Dr, Chapman was their official
head in this State. But, that head
is gone. Can you imagine ho v a
superanuated old goose feels with
her head off'? If you are a Demo-
crat, you can, because you are a
part of that old goose.
Since the official head of Democ
