1--WE copy the foregoing porasraph from
the Boston Quarterly RerietO, loco iocc
periodical, edited BY o. A. Brcwnson,
Esq. The Review is regarded, al the
norh, where il cifculates AS loco ioco
tert-book--as an authentic and accredited
exposiler Of The principles Of modern de
mocracy. Such being the character o.
the print from which we quote, ourauthor-

This Is the efferyessencc olan agrarion
the opinion Of mad.man; the language
of one oppooei 10 all law, all order, 10 all
mtten constitutions and the republican,
lnsitdyiops Of our country, and frr which
| neither the Administration Of The General
Government, nor the Democratic pnrly
are responsible, whatever ,nay be his pre-,
delcclions for The Office Of President Of The
United States.
The Administration is no more respon.
sible for the opinions ofO. a. Brownson,
the reputed author, oflhe foregoing article,
said 10 be taken from Boston paper, than
il would be il he should openly advocote
larceny, burglory, highway robbery, adul-
terry, or any other high crime Of inside
meanor. This attempt Of the Wings, to
hold the AdministIa len responsible for
such damnable and wicked opinions, is
among The yllest Of the vile, and basest Of
the base attempts OLA desperate party to
lie, gull and humbug the people Into a
support OF their odious, arislocratic meas
ures.
The true Democratic doctrine, advoca
ted by the Administration Of The General
Government, AT The head of whom, is that
sterling and iunexibe Democrat, Martin
Van Buren, on The subject ofequal rights,
is easily explained.
We believe that all men are born free
and equal.
We arein favor ofcqual rights and equal
laws.
We are oppose to all licensed monopo-
lies, and TO all lcgalised privileged orders
in society.
We are in favor Of every mans enjoy
ing the property and wealth, that he can
honestly acquire, so long us he himself
belongs TO the world in which he acquired
it, and at his death, we are in favor Of its
being Inherited by his children or other
legal heirs.
II one man can, by his industry, econo-
my, good management, or good fortune,
accumulate more than his neighbor his
less fortunate ucighbor has no right 10
complain, nor has any one else.
A young man of INDECENT parentage,
when he arrives at the age Of majority, bus
no right to complain because the conpan.
ion OF his youth, inheris a large estate
from his wealthy ancestor. \ man inca.
Pable of accumulaing property enough
to make a comfortable support, in this
land Of liberty and repubicanism, would
be incapable Of taking care Of an inleri
lance from his ancestors.
What we are opposed TO is, that The
Legislators Of the land, The Representa-
, tiyes Of the people, selected for The purpose
OF making equal and impartial laws, fol
the benefit the whole community, sloult

ten times the amount of his real capital
