OTHER PRINCIPLE!
The above precious avowal is from Hills New
Hampshire Patriot Of the 20th of last month. We
ask he people OF the United States, line sober
minded and intelligent people, 10 mark well the
unbiushng mpudence and assurance Ci this open
and shameless avowal of the most Odious and
abominabe doctrines by this arcidemon OF Lo-
cofocosm, Isaac Hill. THE DEMOCRATS NEVER
COMMENDED FOR ANY OTHER PRINCIPLE" W e
thank thee, ,jew, for teaching us that mo'd! Who
has forgotten the M iSy aud bruzen cldmor viii
which the brief administration Of the lameuted
Harrison was assaed for the few salutary nstal-
ces of reform, where brazen iuced and noisy par
tsan office holders were male TO give place to
better men-rnen who would not poute and de-
grade their Offices Ivy turning them into election
eering engines? Who was louder in his outcries
than the EX-Sub,reasurer himself, ls;ac Hill 2
Prescription Prescription! as they oddly enough
styled ii, was the cry from end to end OF The Uh-
ion. It fauercd not that 1t was not prescription,
but wise and salutary reform. 1t was no purt OF
their design to regard, in their clanor, enher truth
or Justice These hycnas, AS they were scared
from their prey, attempted by their clamor 10 de-
ter the agents Of reributive justice from their task
1t was THEN proscrip IiOn, no matter how deserved
the removal TO take from the purchased slaves OF
party the spos on which they had been fattenlng
for twelve long years, and to entrust these Offices
in hands that would not abuse them.
But nOW-now, when recent, and let us hope
temporary success has encouraged the beaten EN-
issaries Of Torysm to hope again for power and
the possession of the spoils the mask is thrown
off, and Isaac Hill himself uniurls once more the
old pirate flag of Marcy, inscribed The spoiis be

1.-THE Democrats neUer conended for amy Other
principle" Mark that ! The "change Of office
hoiders"-the repossrsson OF the spolls is all they
fight for What disnerested parrots How ca
sy to understand the principles of modern "Do
mocracy," as defined by Isaac Hill-"he possess
ton Of office" And will the people, think you
ever agree again TO place it liz your power to carry
out this principle for which alone the "Democrncy

prey" says Levi oodhury. They fight only TO
otHce," says Isaac Hill, and both have the modest.
to ask the peope-lhe very people who have on
just escaped from their tangs, TO let them loos
again upon the treasury Of the land. But ihn
not, MIR. Hill, or Mr.. Woodbury., that there is an
chance for you to repossess the spoils. The pee
pie, the Democracy of numbers are against yot
and will not ever receive you again into iavo
The many thousands who, by their neglect, hav
given you false grounds for hope-grounds thu
are even now sliding from under your feet, wi
rise as one man to rample in the dust, both sue
odious and deestabe principles, and tho men wi,
shamelessy ayow them. They fight for oilie
principles than the mere possession OF office, mn
they who only year since put down the spoih
men by ma nrlty Of $4,000, are ready aud ab
10 do il again, and will do it when the proper tin
cotues-.4ilds.
