Democratic Crcel.-The following
extract from tie writings Of Thomas
Jefferson IS a brief exposition Of some
of the principles of Democracy:
DEMocRACr.-E3ual and exact JUS
lice 10 al men. o! whatever state and
persuasion, religious or political;
peace. commerce. and honest friend
ship with all nations, cntangling ALI
ances to none; the support Of the
State governments in all their rights,
us the most OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
for our domestic concerns. and the
surest buIwarks against a~ntI-repubII-
can tendencies, the preservation Of
the general government IN It's whole
constitutional vigor, rs the sheet IN
chor of our peace at home, and safety
abroad; a Jealous care Of the right of
election by the people; q mild correc-
tive Of abuses. which are Topped bv
the sword of revoIutIGn, where peace
abe remedies are unpTovided for;
absolute acquiesccnse IN the decisions
OF the majority, the vital principle OF
republics, from which is no appeal
but to force, the vital principle ana
immediate parent OF despotIsm; Il well
disciplined militia, our best reliance
in peace, and for the first moments
Of war, till regulars may relieve them;
the supremacy Of the civil over the
military authority; economy in the
public expense, that labor may be
lightly burdened; the honest payment
OF our debts, and sacred preservd-
tan of the public faith; encourage
menl of agriculture, and Of commerce
as its handmade; the diffusion 0! IN
formation. and arrangement OF ali a
buses at the bar OF public reason;
freedom of religion. protection OF the
habeas corpus, and trial by jurles I'M
partially selected. These principles
form the brightest constellation which
has gone before us and guided our
steps through an age of revolution
and information. The wisdom OF our
sages and blood of our heroes have
been devoted to their attainment; they
should be the creed of our political
faith; the text Of civil instructions,
the touchstone by which TO Try the
service of those we trust; and should
we wander from them in moments OF
error or alarm, let US hasten to re-
trace our steps, and TO regain the road
which alone leads to peace, liberty
and safety.

The whig presses charge that lie
Democratic State Convention come
vat against districting the State, and
a convention to remodel the Constitu.
ton. This is not true. So far from
il. the candidates for Governor and
Lieut.. Governor, the only State Off
GERS nominated by the Convention,
and by whose election State policy
can be in any degree effected, are in
favor OF botl these assure If the
Convention were opposed to these
measures, they certainly would not
have nominated men in favor Of them.
Our opinion of the feelings of the
members Of the Convention on this
subject. Is this; that they did not look
upon either OF these as strict party
questions, and that they did not ii ere
iorr feel called upon to set them out
in their resolutions meant to define
the party lines. We must frankly ad-
nit. that on the subject of districting
the State though we have heretofore
expressed ourselves against it, we be-
lieve the disposition of the party
generally is TO district the State; nor
shall We present any opposition to it.
We have looked upon the question as
one of eXrediency alone, and assucta
we are always ready to yield for the
harmony of the party.
Ga the question OF aState Conven-
ton to remodel he Constitution, it is
only a question of means. The inc
quality of representation is a crying
evil and must be corrected. If the
Legislature will not. Il Convention
must. The last legislature refused,

is but one way open-that is by Con-

An EmpcrOr.-The Galveston Ga

belief that Santa Anna will positive
ly establish himself as Emperor Of
Mexico, and maintain his authority
by the army. He has been indus
triously engaged in this project since
his last eIection-the army it is said
has long since been organized solely
with a view to this grand result: the
officers and leaders are all devoted 10
his Interests, and their attachments
and preferences r all in favor of a
strong military government. Indeed.
II Is SAID that intelligent Mexicans
doubt whether any other form ofgov-
eminent could be established with a
prospect OF permanencv. with such a
