Democratic Arrangements.

No 1.

It is our misfortune to receive but very few democratic newspapers. We regret this exceedingly, more particularly a clear sheer nonsense: always a great treat is not often to be found in other papers. In the Baltimore American, a few days ago, we found an improvement in the Latin tongue of which Ainsworth, Young and other numskulls seem to have known nothing. We had- Verbatim et literatim. And besides, we were informed that all this meant word for word and letter for letter. The writer also seems to have a knowledge of the English language peculiar to himself. On Wednesday last the American said First: After the extraordinary events of the last 25 years, it is right to acknowledge that whatever is practicable is possible. A common man, who knows nothing of the Latin language, and very little of the English, would be likely to say at once, without witnessing the extraordinary events of the last 25 years, that whatever is practicable is possible, and whatever is possible is practicable. He would not likely even to talk of acknowledging that is so evident and undeniable. He would take it for granted, as what every man knew, and what no man could disprove. He might say, if he had read Salmagundi, sir, your definition of the word practicable, is like Linkum Fidelius' definition of the word Love. Love is none. And do you, Mr. Latinist, find it necessary to witness the extraordinary events of 25 years, to discover that whatever is practicable is possible? On Thursday the American said- If this news prove correct, we can only say, that the French are indeed a very fickle nation: and that Bonaparte is not the man we took him to be. On Friday the American speaketh in this manner. To say that the democrats of America are attached to Bonaparte, is palpable nonsense, and carries with it its own conviction-If we thought there was one democrat in this country who loves Bonaparte and his cause, we would be in to bind him neck and heels cast him into the volcano now burning in degraded France Whew!!! On Saturday the American, made the following important discovery.-- It is now evident that the people of France are incapable of liberty in any shape-They must have a master-- they will now have many masters, who will bind them hands and feet in the house of bondage for years perhaps for centuries-They have destroyed liberty not only in their own country, but in every country in Europe. A late, though precious confession. A Delaware Gazette.
