FIRST PRINCIPLES.

| TO THE ORIGINAL JACKSON MEN.
The tendency of all human institutions is to
concentrate power in the hands of the few. In
republics, this has always been accomplished in
the name of the people. There is but one of two
modes in which our liberty can be lost. 1t by
standing anny-whch may consist of regular
soldiers as in Russia, or of national guard in the
shape of an organized militia, as in France, The
last when the people become sufficiently corrupt,
with an infusion of regular troops, VIII be used
by the usurper who shall abolish the forms as
we'll as the substance of our Republican institu-
tions, by depriving yo, of the right Of sotinS.
And do you not see that if you permit your ru-
lers, openly to use the public money, to bride the
voters, that the next step will be to use the mill
tia to prevent you from voting
1t is cheering, 1t gives me great JOY to look over
the newspapers with which exchange, and to
see that so many of my old personal friends, who
united with me in supporting Gen. jackson, are
now side by side with me in opposing Van Buren,.
And what gives greater pleasure, is to see so
many of those young gentlemen, who have once
been apprentices, employed as Journeymen
printers in my Office, now engaged in the great
cause of the country. When see them stand up
for the faith delivered by the fathers of the po-
| litcal church, and that they now bringing
into the service of the country the learning and
the principles which it was my pride and nay great
est pleasure to mpart to them, feel that, let the
time of my departure, come when 1t may, shall
not have lived in vain-all that | have done will
not be buried with me; for that love OF liberty,
that hatred of corruption and resistance OF OPP
preston which has constituted the essential feel
ing of my life, viii live in many a bosom.
Among those whom it is my pride to recognise
as one of my pupils, IS one Of the editors of the
Wabash Courier, and should this paragraph meet
his eye or that of any other Of the gallant and
patriotic spirits to whom refer, they will, |
know, excuse the remarks, which are given forth
in gratitude to Him who has preserved them from
contamination in the midst of the general decay
| of public morals.
We copy the following remarks from the Wa
bash Courier.
| MIR. JEFFERSON had received, while the Presi-
DENTAL election was pending, a letter from Gov
ernor Mexican, of Pennsylvania, informing him
| of the misconduct of certain Federal officers in
that State. In his reply, dated February 2, 1901,
he uses this emphatic language:
ssOne thing win say, that, as TO the future,
