 In our own country, all profess demOcra- cv but while some are content with the de- mocracy Ofthe constitution. a qualified demo- cracy exercised by Representatives chosen by the whole people, others claim an exclusive title tO democracy. and mudestly arrOgate to themselves the right to choose the Represen- tatives from the circle which they choose to denominate The Democracy''-par erceiLent with the equitable and reasonable condition that all the patronage of the GOvernmentis to be confined within the circle which they them. selves have drawn. What is the moral ten dency of this principle Is it not to exclude all from office but those whose principles are pliant enough to profess themselves in favor of any thing that for the time being, may by this fiction be pronounced orthodox? IL is to make honest men knaves, and keep knaves from reforming, and to exclude from office those who respect honor and integrity more than popular favor. The effect of such principle is-tO deprive the public of the ser vices of those who would serve them best. be- cause most cOnscientious.-Detroit Jour.

 The Montreal Herald also has an account of a diabol!ca! attempt at murder.
 Yesterday morning, about half past seven o'clock. as MT. Roy. dry goods merchant, was proceeding into his kitchen, he was met by Mrs. Dewey. young lady, highly and re- specially connected in this city, who was re- ceDtIy married to young man, about 2l years of age, of the name of Dewey, the keep CT of retail dry goods store in the same street, and as she approached Mr. Roy, threw herself into his arms. He placed her on the sofa, and instantly perceived her throat was cut, and the blood flowing profusely over her.
 MT. Roy instantly sent for a surgeon, and in the mean time procured a mattress and laid her on it. He then proceeded to the front ed, and returned through his own house and made for The back entrance. where he found the door opened, besmeared with blood, and the razor, with which the deed was done, ly- ing on the ground.
 Dr.. Arnold soon arrived, and was joined by l Dr. Nelson, when every surgical assistance was rendered to the poor sufferer.s Mrs. Dew ey's hands were found also io t,e cruelty cut, | probably done in defending herself. After her wounds were dressed ssshr was removed to the residence of her father, Mr. Martineau, in the St. Lawrence suburbs, andw are hap. py to learnlhere is every prospect ofher ul-
 The parl9A eere married about 8 months ago; but the brutal conduct of her husband caused her to return tO her uncle's who had brought her up. On Sunday morning, early, Dewey went to the French Church. with the diabolcal design of meeting his wife in the temple of the Most High, with the murder ous intention to destroy her. He there saw her, and, under the spacious pretence of showing her some articles he had pure hased for her. he induced her to 80 down to the shop; he, as soon as they entered, locked the door, and proceeded to cut her throat he then left her, as he no doubt supposed, dead, and went away. She, after some time, re- covered consciousness. and proceeded to try to open the back door, and succeeded, and thereby got to the kitchen of Mir. Roy.
 Dewey has been arrested and imprisoned at Plattsburgh. He was engaged as bar keep. CT at a tavern in that place when arrested.
