A Review.

Alarmed at the threatened destruction of Kepubiican prihoifiles by an Oligarchy which controlled the Democratic party, the earnest men of 1835 united and formed a patriotic and vigorous political organization, with positive prtocipfi^fbas-

ed upon justice aUd right. This young!

along and desperate struggle-fighting

enemies in the rear as well as in front— maintained the rightr—lifting the country

out of the slough of wrong, and placing!

it'upon

more perfect union, establishing justice,

insuring domestic tranquillltv, and seourl

ing the blessings of liberty,"not only for

ourselves and our posterity, but to the

throughout all coming time. But its work is not yet finished. There is still much for which the party should live, and the many reasons why the earnest men who formed it should remain banded together, but that there are causes at work, which, if permitted to re-

the people expressed through petitions

voting away millions of the pie's money and millions of of the public domain, not relieving tlicin of one of

of that veriest of weaklings, Hiland K. Hulburd, Controller of the Currency, and that great injustice to-this people remains. The great want of justice inflicted upon the people by the National Bank law—permitting the favored to draw eighteen millions of dollars in gold annually, upon a paper investment of thirty millions—is alone sufficient to break down any party that may attempt to justify it.

In cool and pleasant rooms in this city as well as in every other throughout the land, sits the fat Collector with his deputies, gathering the immense toll from the people. Every twelve months the entire money of the country finds its way into the National Treasury, and is disbursed by our masters at Washington, at. their pleasure. "They have created new offices, and sent swarms of officers to harass our people and cat out our substance thus taking twenty-five cents out of every dollar collected, to pay the army of gatherers, while by simplifying the tax law this odium and expense could be removed. With an Executive—determined to have no quarrel with Congress, and anxious to have that body adjourn, that he may drive his fast horses at Long-Branch and an inefficient and corrupt Congress righting none of the many discovered wrongs, our party is fast drifting to the negative. Without positive principles and good arguments with which to go before the people—without a good work begun, and a determination to continue it—without clean hands and pure hearts, we cannot expect to retain a vigorous party organization. And if it is expected by our party leaders, lliat they can successfully defend and justify the many known wrongs which should long since have been righted by our party— wrongs which they should instantly commence righting now, before the adjournment of Congress which is about to take place, and before, too, the fall campaign opens—they will find themselves leaning upon a bank of fog. Give to the opposition, as our leaders are rapidly giving it, all the popular arguments, and the popular side of all questions claiming public attention, and Government officials will be active in the interest of their party in vain. Money spent, wigwams built, and brass bands hired will be all to no purpose.

Epithet will no longer serve. Copperhead," "Traitor," and "Butternut" are of the past. These they were, and in

epithet, and calling hard names will not I

justify wrong doings.

Let them put us in our true position— upon the side of right and against wrong and not expect us to successfully defend wrong. Give us the inside track, by giv ing us the strong side of the question, and remove from us the weight put upon us, and wo can and will win the race Believing the success of the Democratic party would be one of the greatest calamities, we are anxious to prevent it by relieving our party of all drags, and placing it in the straight path of right, and thus insuring success.

Curious Sale.

Before a court in the province of Pesth, Hungary, a suit was pending, in which an aged Jew was to make a statement under oath. He was ready to take the oath, when another Jew arose and proa a in it

This man dare not take an oath."

Why not asked the Judge. "There exists a Hebrew prayer which contains the sentence, that

every Jew

has a share in the life to come.' It is now about 20 years ago. whilst I was present, when the man who is now about to take an oath sold his share in the life to come,' guaranteed to him in the prayer, to another Jew, a Mr. Y., who paid him a certain amount of money for

ing to fear or hope for iu the life to come. It must be certainly: indifferent to him whether to swear to a truth or to a falsehood."

The matter was examined into,' and, as the strange transaction was found to have taken place in reality, the court granted the protest of the old man, and the party who sold his "share in the life to come" was declared incapable of taking an oath.
