•n'- IIUIU.RY vs. DEMOCRACY. We understand that the TTon. Judge Hurley, tlic proprietor of a niiiguificicnt juicenary on Market street, is industriously circulating a report, that the Democratic party of Montgomery county is engaged in destroying the bad whisky in town. The

Judge is, unquestionably, shrewd and talented. -r lie wishes to employ the strong arm of a great political party to denounce the destruction of poisoned whisky by charging them with being the aggressors. This clcvcr dodge'wc are afraid will hardJy win.- The'Democracy, we apprchcud, 'will'regard the Judge's displeasure with serene indifference. If. he expects that ,tTie party is to bolster up doggeries, he is -woefully mistaken, and while wc arc no apologists for mob-law and discountenance everything of the'kind, wc have no tears to shed over the destruction of rifle-whisky, that is destroying the souls-and bodies of humanity. AVc shall maintain an armed neutrality on this matter, and form no entangling alliances with the dealer or the destrover of the fire-water. y*'

It points the people to no memories in the past, to no hopes in the future The most that can be said of it is that it originated in Philadelphia, out of the fag ends of all other partics, with the ideas of Congressional intervention and a denial of the doctrine of Popular sovereignty. It has projected the Maine Law, ran Fremont for the Presidency on sectionalism, virtually separating the Northern from the Southern States ot the Union has marauded upon Kansas to her ruin, and lived bv shrieking over her miseries which itself produced. .What else the llepublieon party has done, or proposes to do, somebody that knows must tell.

be successful, to assail the institutions of

the South at every point where his inge-

jnuity can devise a way to do so constitu-

tionally and legally. His movements are

to be uudcr the cover of forms and technicalities. He intends- to move cautiously and quietly to the accomplishment of his ends, until lie is satisfied that slavery is in the process of final extinction. This he avows, and declares that this Union can not exist, composed partly of free and partly of slave States. His party have wisely selected him to cast their programme, and defend and recommend it. Happily, national men have, in his antagonist, one who has surveyed the whole ground, and who is matchless in debate. 3Ien of reflection will read this discussion with intense' interest. The result of the canvass is of the last importance. If Douglas should be defeated, it will be a Democratic defeat—a defeat of national doctrines, on which alone this Union can rest. It would be a less matter if tiie consequences stopped in the State of Illinois buttlie politician knonrs the circumstances which connect this canvass ii Illinois with the election in other States. The whole North will be affected by the result, for good or evil. It will be easily seen that the success of Lincoln will show that the majority, of the people of Illinois sanction a war of extermination upon shivery, and intend to embrace all the.opportunities to exert all the power of tho Federal Government for its extermination. If this shall be tlic end, in spite of such a champion as Douglas in, his own State, what hopes can,be entertained of other States? And if this result is brought about by the connivance of Democrats in high position, and even by their direct aid in that position, what account will- they render to their party and their country"? We arc glad to know that there arc no differences among Democrats in this State on this subject, however much they differed lately on a temporary question: and we are Iglad to sec that the South'generally begin

The elements that gave it existence arc gone, dissolved. Men .think differently upon the slavery qnc^Uon now to what they did ten or even fiyc years ago.-— They have reflected and pondered' on it~ ,here at the North this- thinking ,and» pondering have produced practical ideas, and led them to look into the Constitution. {3V

The Fremont campaign of '56 was. a forced- one. It was- more spasmodic than enthusiastic, lacking the genuine vigor*that was wont to animate thc rank and file of fanaticism, and fought the battle.more on the, availability order, notwithstanding thc contradictory conflict within itself—the leading of a Southern chief to a Northern banquet. Fremont himself had no sympathy- with thc Abolitionists, though they were "the only really zealous followers he had. A large portion of the masses had learned the impracticability of the slavery agitation, and would have deserted thc causc, only for the pride they felt iu laying themselves liable to the accusation of changing their political: sentiments. Hut the party is now breaking up, and the masses feci themselves uo longer bound by such restraints.

Tho Abolitionists are off first.'-The Weed portion of the old Whig party arc contending between hope and fear: thc question being whether they shall swallow up "Americanism," or "Americanism," swallow them. ,Bufcof all this divided family none present so iutcresting an aspect as thc Radical Democracy. They are the darkey whom another darkey said, "he knows too much for one nigger, and not quite enough for two." These Radicals are too democratic for the Democratic party, and not quite enough for thc two parties they have been trying to belong tor* 13utr where will they go? Who wants them? Thc masses will return to the Democratic party. Thc leaders arc all old hacks that are starred in the catalogue of all parties, which signifies, "don'ttake tlieni in, as they have been expelled from all other parties!"

Amid' these decaying elements and embers of a o:icc wide-spread and somewhat alarming fanaticism, we witness the steady progress of Democratic principles, the steady march of a prosperous people, and the vigorous growth of an empire in this Western Hemisphere unexampled and unparalleled in the past achievements of man. --We are in the midst, of another result. of Democratic policy, viz: The exemplification of the curative properties of our free institutions, based upon the intelligence and equality—the triumph of principle and reason over passion and prejudice, (always the work of time). In short, the workings of our Government under the Federal Constitution as constructed and expounded by Jefferson and thc other great lights of Democracy. It? is Democracy as

to fanaticism and treason,.

Wc see thc Kansas difficulty settling itself, the Utah rebellion quelled, and the grave and more important question of international law settled upon the basis ot national law. A question that has been the bono of contention for more than half a century at times.

When thc Democratic party, through an administration of its choice, can achieve such victories for thc country and add such glory to the character of the nation, it can afford to encounter the bile of discontent from demagogues and fanatics. It can look calmly on under such circumstances, and watch with pricTc the returning reason of thc honest- masses that have been deluded and deceived, and led away after abstract impracticabilities in thc hour of excitement into thc ranks of these effemiuate political organizations, that pass away like a summer cloud.

The Democracy was never more defiant than at this hour, and why should it not be? There is no opposition. The people will not cling to a delusion after conviction that they are in error. Thc party then stands upon the impregnable fortress of tlic people's approval the country is satis ficd with its stewardship.

A CKKAT HISTORICAL FACT. There is one stern, undeniable, historical fact, which completely destroys all the points urged for argument and made in behalf of the Repuplican organization.— The sole mission claimed for that party is that it is necessary to prevent the extension of slavery into free territory. Now. in reply, the reeords of our country prove that from the time this Government was organized down to the present, not a mile of free territory was ever converted into slavery. On thc contrary, thc amount of slave territory in 1790 comprised nine tenths of the Union. Three-quarters of it arc now free. There was then but one free State to twelve slave. There arc now seventeen free States to fifteen slave State.s. Thc difference is soon to be increased by the admission of Kansas and Oregon, thus making nineteen to fifteen.— Thc^Jhitcd States, it is true, have acquir-ed-Louisiana, Florida and Texas, but slavery existed in them when they were annexed, and would have existed now it they had not been added to lis. It seems astonishing when the Republicans have written so much about slavery extension into free territory, that there has never been an instance of it in our history. \ct such is

the fact. Immense encroachments, however," have been made by tree institutions upon1 slaverv.—Cincinnati Ji,nptircr.

'Occasionally masses: of earth and rock went whizzing past, but none struck bim'^ Thirty or fofty feet from the top,,he &iw a ledge, from which, as lie judged by appearances,' two or three avenues led off in different: directions.— About a hundred feet from thc top, a cataract from thc side of the pit went rushing down the abyss, and, as he descended by the side of the falling waiter and in' the midst' of the spray, he felt 'some apprehension that-hife light would be extinguished,'but his care'prevented this. He waslandcd at the bottom of thc pit, a hundred and ninety feet from thc top. He found it almost perfectly circular, about eighteen feet in diameter, with a small opening at one point, leading to a fine chambcr of no great extent. He found on thc floor beautiful specimens of black silcx of immense size, vastly larger than was ever discovered in any other part of the Mammoth Cave, and also a multitude of exquisite formations as pure and white as virgin snow.— Makingliimself heard, with great effort, by his friends, he at length asked them to pull him partly up, intending to stop on the way and explore a cavc that lie had observed opening about forty feet above thc bottom of thc pit.

Reaching the mouth of that cave, lie swung himself with much exertion into it, and holding thc end of the rope in his hand, he incautiously let it. go, and it swung out apparently beyond his reach.— The situation was a fearful one, and his friends above could do nothing for him.— Soon, however, he made a hook of the end of his ftiinp, and by extending himself as far over the verge as possible without falling, he succcedcd in securing thc rope.— Fastening it to a rock, he followed the avenue 150 or 200 yards to a point where lie found it blockcd by an impassable avalanche of rock and earth. Returning to thc inouth of this avenue, lie beheld an almost exactly similar mouth of another on the opposite side of the pit, but not being able to swing himself into it, he re-fasten-ed the rope around his body, suspending himself again over the abyss, and shouted to his friends to raise him to thc top. Thc pull was an exceedingly severe one, and the rope, being ill-adjusted around his body, gave him thc most excruciating pain. But soon his pain was forgotten in a new and dreadful peril.

W wish to say lo Uie Union in all kindness, that its course is exciting deep indignation all over the West and Southwest. We have the best reasons for saying so, and most painful evidence of the fact. It inay think that it is damaging Douglas alone: that is a great error, and thc sooner it is made aware of that fact, thc better for the Administration and the Democratic party. think Senator Douglas has acted very unwisely iu more than one instance on the Kansas question and especially do we think he erred in his reception speech at Chicago. But that is no reason why tho Union should furnish more ammunition to thc enemy, and afford more aid and comfort to tho Republicans, than Douglas' whole course has done. Thc Union may think it is not doing so. TIT? know that it is doing so. There is such a thing as "crowding the mourners too far," to use a very significant and expressive phrase, and that is what the Union has been doing for sonic time. he opposition papers draw their main support from the columns of the Union.— It furnishes them with material to war on every Democratic candidate for Congress in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New irork land other Stales. If "it would close its I columns, shut up shop, and take a nap unjtil the first Mondny of next December, tho |Democracy, „\rtli anil .South, we venture to say, would be under great obligations to August it.

We do not know who edits or controls thc Union nor is it material to: our purpose that we should. We wish to speak in condemnation of its articles on Illinois politics. It confesses to. a "serene indif--fercncc" upon thc "issue of DOUGLAS or LIKCOLK, LINCOLN or DOTTOLAS/' 1/ llmt' is really so, why do wc find nof onc worct against Lincoln, and all against Doaglas 1 And if it is really as indifferent as it pretends, why meddle at all in the contest?-" Why not keep silent, aud let thc Dcmocracj- of Illinois settle thc matter among themselves
