not resist the temptation of stopping a few

description of the evil tendency of " Patent
Democracy" enchanted the attention of large
number OF political friends and opponents.-
This is my first opportunity of hearing speech
es from such gentlemen, and from the one |
heard from Judge Phelps, should infer that
the U. 5. Senate is fitting sphere for the ex-

man, am told, who has won great and envia-
BILE reputation, at home and abroad, of being

firm politician. AS Mr. Marsh was nominated
by acclamation,I had chance of listening to a

express his views upon the various subjects

posed will be sufficient to establish this fact And
since circumcision is matter too degrading in its
character for this modern DemosthenesI to con-
descend to notice, il will be necessary to fix upon
another which will at least elicit another learned
remark. It is well known to all readers of the
Bible, that Moses, agreeably to the command OF
God, commanded that, for certain misdemeanors,
therein should be stoned to DEATH A case of this
kind came before Christ, and the persons accusing
after making out their plea and shelving wherein
the law had been transgressed, were desirous of
having the punishment inflicted. Our saviour
there gives them very mild but pointed rebuke
for their rigid adherence to Mosaic Institutions to
wit; ''He that is without sin among you let him
cast the first stone" Thus it appears that God
instituted this mode Of punishment under the old
dispensation, and Christ condemned it in the new,
who says, "Hitherto my father hath worked, but
now work" The Apostle Paul says: "There are
differences of administrations, but the same Lord
there dipersities Of operations, but it is the
same God" II was with no small degree of aston
ishment that the last production Of our friend
Philos was read-arisng from the very sanctimo-
NOUS manner in which 1t was prefaced, his learned
arguments and transcendent conclusions. If he
is really in earnest when he asserts and reasserts
that the subject under consideration is one of vital
importance, and one that demands careful and
impartial investigation, why does he not reason
upon it in calm and dispassionate manner, and
not make such woeful buchering of the 7th rule
of "Hedges' Logic II is to be hoped further
that he will cease advocating the observance of
ancient customs, and worshiping the opinions OF
the learned. The time was when custom was the
sole law of the land, but that day has gone by in
this republic, and gone forever.

you lease, Umpire, inform me, for believe you
can, as you are a knowing man. Probably you
Jimmy, (Mr. Editor mean,) can give me the re-

For the Spirit of Democracy.

Mr.. EnlroR: R:-In your paper of the
s6th inst. | noticed Sticks reply to
PhiIos, in which he remotely intimates,
that one Umpire has assumed too much,
in attempting as he says "to set Alright
the alterations of the young, and litter
ate." understand him to allude to
the arbitration, which Umpire was cal
led in by the friends of NJ. and Philos
to settle. From the knowledge which
Slick jr. appears to have Of the age,
and literary requirements of VI. and
Philos, some at least would conclude,
that he and M. were the same. And
like Pats bird, he could be in two places
at once. For how could he know that
M. and Philos were "young and ilit-
erate?' for they were both writing in
cog. True, every person who read
their productions, would conclude that
they were ''iliterate," especially M.
And most persons would suppose that
they were quite young too. But no
person but the printer could know
their ages; unless they knew them
selves; and suppose their mothers
have told them of course. Therefore,
we conclude that M. or Phi!os has
creased and come out Slick, jr., and
we know it was not Phios. When
| say it is reasonable to conclude that
NJ. is illterate,I do not mean to say
that he is not deep red when Amelia is
read in his presence. Slick jr. says
ga little learning is a dangerous thing"
Surely, he has nothing to fear on that
account. And suppose, a great amount
of learning to be still more dangerous,
he would have still less to fear,i indeed,
less than nothing can be. Slick says,
(at the beginning of his second para
graph "had he been placed upon the
walls of Jerusalem no doubt he would
have exercised the same influence over
the Roman soldiery that Orpheus did
over the inhabitants of the Internal re-
gions." What presumption! Dear
young Orpheus! yes, let me call thee
Orpheus! thy lofty aspirations, (f not
thy genius.) have made thee name to
live among the fabled Of yore. Be not
discouraged for want of intellect; but
build up thy CORY to the summit of thy
loftiest thought; and if sun, moon or
stars, should be in thy way, push them
aside and hurry on. Assiduity will
supply the want ofintellect--ambition
laughs at the lack of money or friends,
and strings afresh each manly nerve
whose business is, immortal fame.-
Dear Orpheus do admire your ambi-
ton; but dread the imprudence, so
common to your ardent temperament.
Follow not in the footsteps of Orpheus
sem; your adopted sire. Recollect
that he was torn in pieces by Maena-
des and Bache, for his hatred of the
fair sex. Avoid his fate.
Were to mark out the high way
for giant, like young Orpheus 10 trav-
ell in his march to fame. | would first
say, that he should never rest, until
he gets the law abolished, which tole-
rates capital punishment. And then
there will be no danger that his glory
will ever be tarnished with the ignomi-
ny Of the gallows. When this is ac-
aomplished, he should get algood mat
took and an axe to clear away the un-
der brush. UMPIRE.

Fuller we have news from Port au- Platte to the

au Platte, but hosilities were anticipated daily
from the Haytiens. They were, however, we'll
prepared to receive them. On the 9Th July, a
new standard was hoisted at Port-au- Platte, I'M
der the name of the Dominican flag. On the same
day an election took place for President, and a
Spanard (white) was created President of that
part of Hayti. His name is not recollected.
No accounts have reached Port-au- Platte of
any massacre Of Whites as all communication be-
tween them and other parts of the island is pro-
hibited-Ibid.

Metzgar, Esq., one of the most respectable and
gentemanly Wings of Hanover, York county, Pa.
and was in reply to letter from Mr.. Metzgar to
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, inquring of him whether he
belonged to the Native American Party.
The answer of Mr.. Frenghuysen is like all
his replies-prompl, manly, and to the purpose.
We commend the letter to all our readers.
New YORK, July Sd, 1874

received. | am happy to relieve your mind by
stating to you that am not of the Native Amer

as | believe, cherish any feeling but that of the
strongest dsapprobation Of the scenes of violence
and blood that occurred at Philadelphia. These
charges, SO industriousy circulated by some I'M
worthy members of the adverse party, ought not
to disturb the Wings. can fearlessly challenge
the proof that ever countenanced the doctrines
of persecution or exclusion from Office TO. OPT
MONS sake | hold in veneraton the principles
of our Constitution that leaves conscience free,
that separates Church and State, and requires no
religious test and recognizes no particular reli-
of Government
These are my views, and always have been.
Yours, very respectfully,
THEO. FLELINGHUYSEN.
