"THE KOXALTON RESOLUTIONS

Under this head the Patriot Of the Srh instant
moved 10y The duness OF the "imes," contains
an article II little linctured with the times aiore-
snld-w which very good naturally strives TO head
off the grip of that terrible little animal, whose
fame aud nom dc guere is widely spread as that
same old coon, and which the iacetious editor ever
ion..es with mingled fear and delight. 1t is evil
dent from the editors avowed departure from his
usual course Of not taking "any notice of The
olulions passed by conventions of our (his) Oppo-
nents" that these are very dangerous resolutions,
or at the least very "curons." And we confess,
while the coon seems 10 have fastened his teeth
pretty firmly into Locoioco Drawn, the editor la
bors hard to show himself unhurt anI doubtless
could emulate the Greek boy and suffer stolen
fox beneath his cloak to gnaw his vliais out rather
lhnn belray himself through outward wincing.
The resolution makers ure able and willing
probably 10 iorti!y their facts with all possible
puricuurity when necessary, and, us those iacs,
which seem most TO plague the wits OF the Patri-
Of concern The history OF the Van Buren, exlrav
ngance, it Is likely the Patriot will in due time
have letter for letter aud comma for comma" uE-
Ill it snail cry content.
IL is not So much for the purpose of reviewing
this revinw of the Royuhon Resolutions" that
our attention has heen directed Ia this subject, Gs
for The purpose OF noticing The spirit with which
the Pretenders TO Democracy alude 10 the YER
dicl' of The people in 1904 verdict which
slanpt the broadcast seal OF condemnation, on q
long dominant party, ever Witnessed in the hsIu-
ny of our Republic. These Pretenders, but yes
lerday OF all the world The men who most loudly
acclaimed against the doctrine Of Monnrches
that the king can do no wrong, and for The more
popular and liberal one, that the People can do
tcrong, nre seized with an ague-ht whenever their
oyerw hemng defeat of 1910 is alluded 10, nld a
shudderng, dreadful 10 behold, racks their joints
when dwelling upon the capacity OF man for self
government. They give up all conhdence IL the
first, free, spontaneous impulses Of the people,
aud barbour dire suspicious OF their "second
sober thoughts Men who their lives long
have vigorously enlisted recruits Tor their party in
all paces--lron the hole OF Cork ship, from The
cellar OF agroggery from the house of correction,
from The den OF pOilulon,-" unanointed and I'M
annenled, are suddenly imbued with holy hor-
at The bare mention OF log cabin, and straight
way despair of the republic Men who have
claimed 10 be Of the Peoples party, who have
hoped 10 swell their own bulk by frequent appeals
10 The sovereign people, whose theory Is DOR poputi,
Dor Del, aud that the voice OF the minority, per
contra, is The voice OF Saian-so soon as the peo-
Pile, nler long-suffering and lorbearance, rise in
their strength aud drive these hypocrllica preten
-ders from the places which they ienr 10 know no
more iorever-ihese men are not only willing but
Jealous TO have the world believe the people
e the dear psopls"-are not after oil so very sharp
