.IMNUTABlLITY OF DEMOCRACY"

lMMUTABlLlTY OF "DEMOCRACf."
The unchangeability Of "Democracy"
is often the theme of much unmeaning and
senseless defamation. A man is always
disposed 10 attach 10 the creed to which he
belongs, or the principles he advocates, the
character Of orthodoxy. This disposition
too often springs up in the bosoms OF men
who advocate the most wicked, immoral,
and dangerous doctrines. This strong
impression of the truth and correctness OF
the principles he processes, frequently, and
in fact, almost, invariably, throws around
those principles, in the conception of t heir
champions, degree nd character of sane
tity and immutability, to which they are
mol really, entitled. This disposition when
properly fostered, and restrained within
the circle Of moderation, is sau;ary in its
operation, by giving birth to that conf
dence, maniness, and independence, which
the votary of truth and correct principles
should ever possess. But instead OF halt
ing at this point, we too often see It gath
ering strength in its progress, like the
whirlwind in its wrath, until it pIung;s the
whole man into the wild turbulent, ana
ungovernable extremes Of Fanatlclsm; ana
when maddened thus the step is but short
10 Persecution. 1t is this spirit, when let
loose in all its unbridled fury, that has e.
rected the stake and buried in flames the
freedom Of thought; that has kindled the
fires of SmithfeId, and still sways It's iron
dominion over unfortunate and prosecuted
Ireland; that has stained the annals oil
France with the crimes of a Guise, Dan
tan, Robespere, and gave rise to the Ia
mentable scenes once acted on American
soil, by the unhallowed punishment OF
uSalem Witchcralt.n Fanatcism may
attach itself, either to religious or polltl-
cal subjects, and is productive ofthe same
consequences; and Persecution, whether
its ,hunders be directed against religious
or political heresy, is equally destructive
Of the freedom OF conscience, and desola-
ting in its effects. We do not pretend to
charge the exhibition Of this feeling to one
side exclusively, Of the parties now d'vld'
ing the country; but, as being more STIR
kingly displayed by the Party dominant
than any other,

The returns from the neighborng counties,
with but few exceptions, exhibit the usual demo
cratic maionties. So far, we are considerably
ahead. The Chckasaw counties have, beyond
doubt. given Claiborne and Davis an oyerwhelm-
ing vote, and unless considerable accession Of
strength has been made TO the federal party in
the west we are yet safe. A friend in Yazoo
wrote US but few days before the election. He
assured us that the prospect was frightening for
the democratic cause in that section, and that
Claiborne and Davis would gel a strong support
there. Warren and Adams, and the other river
counties have, Of course, given strong federal
maiorities, but we look to the north to counter
balance that We may have been beaten, posi-
bly,. We have run under the greatest disadvan-
taces. One of our candidates, Col Claiborne,
who was best known TO the people, was unable
from il health to take the field The disordered
state of the currency, which was falsely attributed
to the administration, the banks, and the entire
mercantile interest, were thrown in the scale a
gainst us. But if beaten, we repeat, we are not
discouraged. Never will We faer in the sup
port of principles which are eternal and immuta-
Bile. Defeat shall but nerve us to stronger eff
forts. Let tie tmd waycr-let the treacherous.
who have been with US only because it was their
interest, desert us We care not--our course is
unchanged aud Interchangeable. We are battling
Cor truth and principle, and though we may be
momcntarlly beaten, we will never yield. We
adopt the sentiments of the democratic poet, Bry-
ant, in his beautiful piece entitled "The Battle
| Field"
