If hat to Democracy Am! who art th Beat and True Democrat t Whig. Well, honest neighbor, whatare jour political principle t . Democrat. Oh I am a true, old line Democrat, and always vote the Democratic, ticket. , W. That is, you always vote for the man who is- nominated by what is callrd the Democratic party, and who styles himself a Democrat. Now, that is whit I wish to enquire about : v'u : 'What i really true Democracy T and who it a real Petu ocratf , D. Well, that is very plain; aa it appears to me. It is a 'word (Democracy) derived from two Greek words, vti : Demo, Ae people and K rates, to rule. Democracy, then, is simply that the people shall rule. Their will is the law. They are the sovereigns and masters: and the umce holders are their publio servants, and are bound (6 carry out the will of their constituents the peoplo and to do whatever tends to promote the interest and general good of the whole people, equitably and justly, in accordance with the con stitution and laws of the land. This, I take to be Democracy, and lie who, faithfully and honestly, carries out these principles, I think is a that Democrat, t , Wr- Exactly so; and those are strictly "and pre cisely my sentiments, also. Now, let us apply the prinripht which you have laid down at that of true Democracy, and contrast them with the practice of what is raf the Democratic party. You) I suppose, voted for Buchanan for Presi dent, and for Ellis f jr Governor, and' for Craigc for Congress, did yon not? ' . D. Yes, sir, I did. i W. You will also acknowledge that-the Dem ocratic party have tad the power in both branches of Congress, vis : in the Senate and House of Representatives, fur the last ten or fifteen years t D. T-os, there can be no question of that. For we have, constantly, boasted and rejoiced in hav ing the contruLojfjhe Government ever since -General Jackson was President, except a short time after General Harrison was elected, and soon after his death Johu Tyler came over to us; and even during General Taylor and Mr. Fill more's term, we had the majority in the Senate and House of Representatives, except during the two years, and lSo", when the Black Re publicans had a plurality in the House; yet we had a majority in (he Senate of fifteen, over all parties, and Pierce was our President. So that, I tliiil', I . may safely say that the Democracy have had possession and control of the Govern ment fwrjhc. last, thirty years. f ; ..... T'"W. Pretty correctly and fairly answered, my honest neighbor. For although the Whigs had the power in 1842 in Congress, yet John Tyler bctiaytd the party, and vetoed all their leading measures, and made them powerless to carry out their principal measures.' And although Gene ral Taylor and Millard Fillmore acted faithfully and honestly iu attempting to perform their du ties upon .the principles upon which they were elected, the Democratic party had the power in both branches of Congress to prevent the pass age of any great measure of their Administration. But did you think Martin Van Burcn acted in accordance with the true principles of Democracy, as you have laid them down ? D. No, sir, he did not: he deceived ns. lie other acts in increaiing the publio debt, and spending the publio money show that lit was rather usurping powor above the constitution and acting in a monarchical and dospotio man her, arbitrarily, than as a true Democrat. ' Then his jealousy of General Scott, bis appointing Pillow and Triste over him to thwart hia move ments, and hia ' ordering the old hero home in chains from his field of glory, was surely acting more like an ungrateful tytant than following thawi of a generous people. D. To tell the truth, Polk did do a great many things that don't appear to have much DemoC' racy iu them.. . W. Henry Clay was, truly, much the better Democrat of the two. He had tho truopri ' pies of Democracy, although be ' had not the name. He went for a tariff affording just and fair protection to our American manufactures to develop our resources, to diversify our labor, and to make us a prosperous and independent peo ple. He was in fuvnr of a just and equitable dis- trihittion of the proceeds of the sales of our publio lands among all the States, so that each should receive its fair share of. this great legacy this common fund given by the old States, to " do fray the expenses of the war ot the Revolution," and then to remain fur ' i emmm me anil Icwfil" of all the States, and not to be given, as it has been given, to a favored fir, and squan dered away by ambitious politicians for corrupt nd partisan purposes. He was the great peace- nuilvr and compromiter of difficulties between excited brethren and sections. He . was the mighty chieftain who bound tho Union together in bonds of love, and drove back to their dens fanaticism and civil discord. He was in favor of only one term for the Presidency, to keep as pirants from intriguing for a second term and for rcstiicting the veto of the Piesicent so that this one man power should not stand in the way and thwart the will of the people by hs arbitrary exercise. Was nut that the right sjtt of De mocracy f D I must confess that I revere Lie memory of that great patriot, wnd that he was ;ho person ideation and embodiment of genuine Petnocracy. ISut ho was callrd a bijr, and, therefore, we Democrats could Bot, consistently, vote for him. And besides that, Polk promised, as far as spy oian could expect. He was noiuinat.d by our Democratic convention, which declared that they wer'o in favor of retrenchment and r form, for an rconontitW administration of thcGo'xrunient, and strict construction, and faithful ofli-ers. -W. Vm; lint vnn must inil'rnmnn hv thnir , .:- - --, j -t- -j . are the effeota of what some miseal " the strong arm of the Demooraoy," which preaches economy and practices' extravagance; which promises' re trench men t and reform, and creates useless offices to reward corrupt partisans, and increases their psy, which was greater than they were' worth before who call themselves the saviours whilst hey are ruining the people. Away with such Democracy I It is worse than a monarchy. D, Well, I must oonfessthat I cannot see any true Democracy in that, and I must say that I do not only see, but I feol, too, and that severely, that times are getting worse nnd worse every day. But go on, my honest friend for I know you are both honest and truthful, and consider those things much more thoroughly than I do. I trust that -you know that I am equally honest, and that if I am convinced of any crrqr am patriotic enough to discard ertor for I would rather be right than wrong. I will repent of my error if 1 know it. Consistency and persis tency in error is not" the duty of a freeman or of a rMc Democrat. "I," like your own noble Clay said, " would rather be right than be Pres ident." Now, tell me what Mr. Buchanan and his-party-have done inconsistent with real De mocracy f For I kr.ow, and everybody else knows, that the Dciiiooratiyi party has had the power in all the departments of the Government during tho two years of his administration. And I know that there is a screw-loose somewhere that there is "something rotten in Dcumark." Because the difficulties all around us, and the pressure of tho times, and hih taxes, and an empty treasury, all prore this beyond question.' W. I will try to do so. But, my dear sir, thcro is such an ocean of corruption that it would take volumes to expose it. And you Democrats are so tenacious tn your party, for the sake of the spoils it affords, that I tdtriostdeypjiir of reform ation. Like tho ancient Israelites, you do "not know, because you do not consider," these things. And you "kill the prophets, and Ft one those who ore sent unto you" to tell you the truth. You make an idol of a party calling itself De mocracy, and you will sing lialielnj ilis to it, whilst, like Juggernaut, it rides raiupaut over your tfearcsU interests, ana cruMic yourselves and youueliildrcn under its unhallowed feet. ou still have, as a party, that 'Fan. itlc faila, which, wt JJiJ, fust Ti ,uie J.'lii.-iuii, liugt it to tijc lat " But I will show you, out of the mouths of your own party, what they have d. me. v (Ajitclucf m,fatr .nrxi..

Lot. the fault lie where it may, it seams to us the Pioneer is unfortunate in asoribing the ignoranco of bis party as a cause of its defeat! The Charlotte Bulletin, a fiw day since, at- tributed the defeat of Democracy, in a great do grce, to the fact that many of the now Demo cratic leaders in North Carolina are, or were, ' old line Henry Clay Whigs " We have beaten yon gentlemen we have beaten you' fairly.. We have used no dishonor able means, unless it bo dishonorable tb enlighten the ignorant concerning "tho practices of those whom they, honestly but ignorantly, placed in positions of power and influence, "believing them to be " honest, capable, and faithful.". If the :y unnnt upon the ignorance lions, not by their profissians. The "ood tree" The Democratic Pioiieer admits that its party- is known by its lrujt," not by its blossoms. The demagogue and the hypocrite make loader pro fessions of patriotism and religion than the true statesman or the real christian. Tbey should be judged by what they do; not by what they say. Examine them by their " daily walk and conver sation," that is the true test..' Look at Mr. Fill more's Administration. He came into power with the heavy expenses of a war on band, an empty treasury, and at a time of the most 9tormy the Wh has sustained an "overwhelming defeat," but says it is a victory giincd, on thu part of the Op position, at the expense of " hortestyand truth, shrouded and disfigured' by tho deceptions prac ticed upon an ho,nest and coiiCJing people."

His i j policy showed that he had two sets of opinions on of astonishment to mc how he carried the ship of state safely through these tempestuous billows, with breakers onIl sides. He deserves the gratitude of the country through all time to come. W. nis was true Democracy. lie promoted the general peace and harmony, of the country strictly enforced the laws sacrificed himself for his country's good. Yet he was denounced as uselessly extravagant, because it was said he spent nearly fifty millions of dollars, public debt and .4iUJl-iLlatJoarA.44ndL..ire were told hy the present Executive, James Buchanan, that the " Government ought to be carried on for a much less sum then fifty millions," and " unless the strong arm of Democracy got into power, that in a few years it might each the enormous sum of one hundred millions per annum." D. That is all true. Mr. Buchanan wrote that in what wts called his Wheatland letter, in 1852. : :' .- , W. Again,' Mr. Pierc.was elected President in 1852, and took his seat March 4, 1853. The Democracy (so called) had the Scuato and about seventy majority in the Ilou-e. He increased the expenses bf the Government from forty-three millions (the last year of Mr. Fillmore's) to fifty one millions in his firet year, and gradually in creased it until his last year amounted to sixty- five millions, all exclusive of the public ..debt. He reduced the surplus from thirty-two, to sev enteen and-a-balf millions. He got the country embroiled in all sorts of difficulties the slavery agitation, the Kansas wurs, the filibusters to defy the laws and treaties of the land, tbe Mor manwar; increased the expenditures by civing of tho rank and file fur success, aa it appears they do the Opposition depend upon dispersing the thick fogs which have been thrown around them, and causing the beams of the sun of knowl edge to shine upon and enlighten and disabuse their minds of the prejudices which they have ignorantly cherished, and which have caused them to act in opposition to their own welfare and that of the children whom they lovo. This is all we have done, and this we shall continue to do, God helping us, until the old North State is redeemed from Dcmocrntie oppression and mis rule aye, until the 'whole land ia redeemed and brought out from under the pall of blackness of darkness which has overspread bcr political ho rizon, and iike that of Egtpt, hid the glorious light of truth and knowledge from her people. ' 7 Hon. Bueton Ckaiue. This gentleman has addressed thd following letter to the editors of the Charlutle-JWi tin, in'reply ton editorial of theirs in which they gave his position on certain questions as they understood it : . SALisntav, N. C, Aug. 2G, !8i9. ' Mk-sbs. EniTiihs: In your iasue of the 2-jth ir.t,, iu speaking uf the recent elections in this Kute, you uy, among othrr thlngv "The Representative of I lie Seirenth' district, although ,a Democrat, i not a Na tional Democrat, became he does not endorse, rntirc- ' ly, the. policy of the administration of Mr. liuchan ) ati." In thw yob bate done mc, unintentionally no doubt, injustice. I not only claim to be Democrat, but a National Democrat, and in my recent eanrajs all my declarations; public and private, were in favor of that organization as the only on that had the power and the iriM te prevent a I'.hc k Ilepahlican tri umph iu the next conte.it for the presidency, and that I expected to support the nominee of .the C lmrle-ton Convention. It 1 had ever entertained any doubt of the propriety of the organization of our partr by properly constituted eoarcutions of the people, tbe cours-of the 'Opposition in the recent election in this State would have dispelled u-i doubt, as Ulsj apparent that while they polled their full Mtrength in wvernl of the district', arid, in this amon' the num ber, the Democratic parly failed ti pnU'its full vote. I hope all good Demormta will Irt the propriety of a dy and thorough org-inu ttion of our pailv, a truly means of ensuring the triumph f our prin ciples, and the salvatiou of the I'ninn. Very renpect- fully, Sc., yours, rli'RTox la tnR. HarTbe New York correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes to that paper aa follows: "The Hon. W.

We art thankful that it is a "future fact." But there is danger that the Democratic party will advocato the election of a Black Republican President., Hiiro they not already advocated and elected a Black Republican Governor in Vir ginia? , ' '' ,, There must there will be a National Op position Convention; There will be a National Union eandiduto for the Presidency ( There will be a union of all Union-loving people, fur the sake of the Union.

Such men do more injury t fhe-pirty with which theyjiretend to act, and produce more, extreme party feeliug, than cold be possibly brought about by nny other cause. It ia a great pity that the Ivmocratic party is enrsed with a few of this stamp. They have brains and they have eyes, but they cannot sec beyond their nose'nor can they coin a new idea.

Considering the political character of Virginia, the rc-ult of that .election, taken in con nection with the defeat of several of the regular Dem ocratic candidates lor Congress, may be well regarded as nuspicious and tignitieaut. Had the Opposition been properly organized, felt confident in their own resources, or known th extent of the pervading dis affection in the Democracy, the State would have been carried.
