DEMOCRACY.

lNcTo Is no term III WHICH Has
been more abused and perverted than that which
stands at the head of this paragraph. The word
in its approved signifca' ion is, the government
If The people; and implies perfect equality OF
civil rights and privileges. Those of our State
Governments which are based on the principle of
universal suffrage, come nearer TO the idea of
practical democracy than any other instance
which history affords. In this true and only true
sense of the word, all who favor perfect equality
and universal suffrage are Democrats, whether
they belong to the Wing or Locofoco party. And
all who are opposed to this sort Of government are
not Democrats, no matter how long or how lust-
" they may have boasted of their Democratic"
principles.
Of the two great parties which divide this coun.
try, that which styles itself the "Democratic par.
y" has given the least evidence of real attach
ment TO Democratic principle. Strange as this
may seem it is nevertheless true, as ia perfectly
demonstrable by reference to the constitutions of
those States where the so called " Democracy
have long, and nearly invariably, enjoyed the as.
tendency. That (" Democratic" ascencency may
b. more safely predicated of Virginia and South
Carolina than Of any two States in the Union,
perhaps, excepting New Hampshire. What then
is the condition Of things in those States. How
far, in the long, and almost uninterrupted Demo-
cratic rule which has existed in those States.
have they adopted practical Democracy! We
say nothing at present of the inconsistency of
slavery with Democracy-we lay that matter out
of the question. How do the poor whites, in
those boosted Democratic regions, enjoy Demo.
cratic equality! Let their constitutions answer
In Virginia none can vote but those who own
the soil, or g boil the pot" which implies keep.
ing house as the head of family and conse-
quently all jnurneymen, day laborers and others,
who belong TO neither the land holding or house
keeping classes, are deprived of this inestimabe
privilege.
In South Carolina the important privilege of
voting for the President of the United States is
denied to the people altogether; the Legislature
being always composed Of the aristocracy, appro.
pra,ng that duty tosel. The representation
in the Legislature is based upon the properly
qualification, which makes few dozen votes Of he
arstocracy in the lowlands equivalent to perhaps
as many hundreds Of the poorer classes in he up
lands. 1t s,thus that no breath of real Democ-
racy is ever breathed in the Legislative Councils
Of South Carolina.
Such is the practical aristocracy of the so
called Democracy. In all the Wing Safes the
right Of suff. age is universal
The Wings of South Carolina have recently
proposed to change his system, but the Lncnfpco
organ, the Charleston Mercury, denounces the
proposition, az il wi subject he wealthy classes
Of the low countries 10 the " majority legislation
