ASSAULT UPON THE NAVY.

The two last numbers of The Official
Government paper contain an outrageous
though deliberate and cold Hooded attack
upon the Officers of the Navy Of the u.
States. They are charged, for instance,
with ga total want of that esprit du corps,
without which there can be nothing high
and ennobIing in the profession of arms;"
and with "a mean and pitfnl jeal.
ousy, equally degrading to the man and
to the profession, prerdding all classes Of
Ofccrs;" with disposition, sin too many,"
OF he young officers, ''to skulk from ser
vice." wnh the "dbsence of all sprit;r with
"a sordld splri'-an itching, grasping, mon
opoIizIng spirit" &c.
Ii is impossible TO repress ones indigna-
ton, at this venomous assault upon body
of men, than whom as class, none can be-
more entitled to their conntry's respect and
affection than The officers of our Navy. Is
mans reputation TO shield him from the
hhcls Of the Government press? Is no
elevation of character to he safe from the
maignity OF this organ of the Executive?
Are honor, chivalry, faithful service, pri-
vate worth, TO afford no protection to the
gallant officers of our Navy, but their feel.
Ings must be lacerated, and their reputation
hacked mud hewed with the butchers knife
of this calumniator "by authority?" Will
not the President of the United States and
the Secretary of the Navy, with the instinct
of weIl-bred gentlemen, dSclam and dis
own this wholesale slander of gallant
corps whose situation peculiarly entities
them to have their feelings respected, at
least by those who stand to them in Yeia.
tion ofoflicial superiors? Surely they will.
They owe it to their own characters to do
so.-Ndtional Intelligencer.

FROM A POLITICAL cATEcHTsM.

Question. Pray, sir, what politics dc
you profess?
Answer. Sir, am democrat.
Q. Ia what does your democracy con.
sst?
A. To be call things Fat timesl to all
men," To advocate the establishment and
utility of a national bank in 1916, and to re-
pudiate it in 1928. TO oppose sub-Treas-
ury in 1884, and to laud it to the skies in
1887. To advocate the democracy of
August and September, 1887, as then de
clared and expounded by the Albany and
New York republican committee, and TO
advocate what it was declaredand expound-
ed TO be by the republican committees in
December, 1887, after the Locofocos (which
were till then the taiL-eRd Of all parties, as
pronounced by The Globe and Argus.) were
ADMITTED into our ranks.
Q. What, then, is your definition of a
Locofocu?
A. The present definition is equivalent to
democrat. Before this was found out bv
Van Bnren to be the case, we called them
Agrarians, Fanny Wright-men InfideIs, Ra-
deals, hour-barreI party, &C., but Mr. Ming
and Mr. Slamm, and their associates, salts
fed Mr. Van Buren, they we're the true
Democratic party, and, therefore, the Com
servatives were turned out of the party.
Q. What do you mean by CenseruG-
tires.
A. Imenn party that supported Van
Buren, for President, through thick and thin,
and afterward would not obey his orders to
support the snb-Treasury system.
Q. What do you mean by sub Treasury
system?
A. mean system that would concen-
trate the whole money power with the
sword, in The hands OF the Executive. and
ruin all The banks-a power that would en-
able the Executive TO accumulate patron
age and power to an extent that would per-
petnate him and as in office.
Q. | thougt that the Constitution cave
Congress the power of regulating the Treas
lr,? -
A. So It did, accorling to its ancient con-
'lrucilnn, but we have found shorter wuy,
hat IS, ''io cOnstrue the Constitution as we
understand it," And surely the pa ~ can
'nly understand it in such a manner as i,
hall answer best the good of the party.
Ask MIR Butler--lhe former, | mean the
'reSeHt Attorney General of the United
States till September-whother this Is M,
ne true definition and Mr. Butler is certain.

Nv we have ever had in the country.

the constitution, as well as his Office and his
cabinet.
"Mr. Camhreleng, however, improves up
on this definition. and understands by De-
mocracy--"To GO FIRM THE PEOPLE, IN
SPITE IF THEIR LAMENTATIONS" This was
the democracy current in Rome in the days
Of its decline. |, was the democracy ot
NERO and CALIGULA. Il was this demOc-
racv that fiddied when the Queen-city was
in flames. Ii was this democracy that made
"A horse Consul, and lodged him in apart
ments of marble, and adorned him with cost
" trappings of pearls and precious stones
an outrage hardly less insulting than TO ele-
vate one If the long-eared race 10 the Treas
ury, and feed him at the public crib. II was
this democracy that TIBERlUs illustrated by
years of profligate tyranny, before he noun
mated his successor, and retired to his her
mtage at Capree. 1t is this democracy.
in short, wl9kh is fitly taught by tyranis, and
Ally prolessee by whether its thea
ire he declining Empire or a betrayed and
lramped Republic.
But we are well persuaded that the peo-
pie of this country are not yet ready 10 adopt
Mr.. Cambreleng's definition Of Democracy,
and to be governed SIN SPITE OF THEIR La
MENTATIoNs." They understand by De-
mocracy a GOVERNMENT OF THE MAJORITY
and they hold with Mr.. jefferson, that san
absolute acquiesence in the decisions Of the
majority, is the vital principle Of republics,
from which is no appeal but to force, the vi
tai principle and immediate parent OF des-
potism." The Majority ofthe nation is the
Democratic parry. The principles of the
majority are the Democratic princi-
Plies of the tunes. To arrogate to a mi
uority the title Pf Democratic is an absurdi-
~ in The use oflanguage. The WHIGs are
now in proved majority of 100000 voters.
They are III the ascendant in % of26 States.
They are advocates of The policy and the
principles which a majority of the people
approve. They are opposed TO the policy
which would flsten upon the people. in spite
OF their lamentnions, measure which thew
condemn and abhor This is no part of
,heir doctrine. They acquiesce in the de-
cisions Of the majority. They submit to The
sovereignty of lie ballot box. They are
willing 10 read The constitution as IFS trainers
have read it, as the people have read il, as
The Judicial wisdom OF the land inierprets
It--and they are wiling to understand De-
mocracy as "Govcrnmcnt by the People,"
and not in the new-l!Ght definition indicated
by the practice ofthe day, as a "Govern'neni
orer The people IN SPITE OF THEIR LAMENTA
rIoNsI
Southern telegraph., 1838-09-05

Q. Has not the country at large some.
thing TO say about this affaI2
A. The country al large has nothing to
do with il. We the democracy are he
country in its proper and legitimate sense.
Q. Ia what dictionary do you find your
definition?
A. In no dictionary We want no such
trash as Websler's, Walkers, or Johnson's
dictionaries. They were all rank Gristo-
Gratis, and that is enough for the true de-
mocracy.
@. Do you hold TO the doctrine that the
democracy of numbers, or as II. Bleecker
quantity calls it King numbers, is the true
test in a republican country as 10 what the
People want and ought to have.
A. II was once the doctrine when our
party was in the majority, but has heen
since exploded.
Q. Why soi
A.. Why-hecause-because it is rather
now an inconvenient doctrine.
Q. Please explain?
A. Well, if the truth must out, we have
lost already twenty States in the recent
elections, and we are confoundedly afraid
that we shall soon loose the rmaining six
We now incline 10 the opininAA. that the
minority OF numbers" should govern.
q. d. you consider Presidents orders
and opinions to be always defnilive and
conclusive upon the party?
A. Certainly; so long as he processes our
democracy.
Q, What do you consider the Bible Of
your democracyP
A. The Globe and Argus.
Q. Do YOU believe all they say7
A. Certainly.
Q, But when they contradict themselves,
how do you then manage?
A. We take their last assertions TO be
true democracy. We follow, in this, the
Revised Statutes, (and remember Mr. But.
eT was one of the revisors,) "lhe last clause,
or section, shall prevail"
q. Good day, sir; may ask you perhaps,
at another time, few more questions.
A. shall answer them with great pleas

DEMOCRACY,
"AsI UNDERSTAND 1T +"

| The following article cut from, the New
York Courier, contains some valuable sug
gestions for thought, and some palpabIe hits
at the tOco-Ioco claim 10 exclusive demDcra
hey. The latest definition of democracy, ac-
cording to Mr.. Van Buren's Premonitory j,
government orer hs people in spite OF
themselves:
''It is amusing TO witness the soicitude
with which the Van Buren journals coniin-
ue to claim for their party the title of Dem b.
| cratic. Mr.. Benton should teach them thai
they do not understand the tenn. THAI
classic Colossus has fnrtunately given us il,
etymology! He defined it two or three
years ago, for the especial benefit of those
among the Wing Senators whose early edu-
cation had been neglected. Ii was his opi-
Mon, quite time that they should have been
instructed "Democracy," said the colonel.
SIS "a word derived from two Greek words
demos the people, and krateO to govern, mea-
ming in its compound, government by the
neople Now this is all very well, but Gen.
Jlckson did not SO understand il. He trans
posed the phrases, and interpreted the COM
pound, ga government of the people," 1t
was his democracy to govern the people
and their democracy to obey. The Globe
tnld us thousand times that the General
was born to command, it follows as a natur-
al corollary that the people were born TO
suhmit--and these two propositions nvolv-
ed the whole democracy of the late Presi-
dent and the official journal.
"Mr. Butler, the late Attorney General.
holding office till next September, took the
same view ofdemocracy. he agreed with
the General, that it meant~"to govern tie
people" Elr. Butler is something If
scholar, and The 'ate President thought that
his opinion was gwen with his usual sagi-
,ity and deiibernfion, particularly as Mr.
Butler assured him That though not accord
ng TO the popular Interpretation, his read
nc of it was doubtless the ssstrict construc-
ion." The General made oath that all the
irammars and Dictionaries printed since
he days Of Faustus, should not furnish
recedeni TO violate "strict cunsiruction"-
