What is True Democracy!

True democracy from the earliest formation
ofour Government has advocated ample Pro-
lection to American Industry, Washington
Jefferson, Madison ind other distinguished
Republicans nave ever sustained the doctrine
of self Protection and Independence.
On the other hand, ultra Federnlsts have OPP
posed this doctrine and advocated the doctrine
upon which Folks Tariff Bill is based "Wo
can buy cheaper of Great Britain, and let us
buy of her." has been the doctrine of such
men.
Readcr-ure we not right in this' We APP
peal to the old Republicans who remember
these things. Ask them, and they will tell
you we are right.
1t is true, itoannot be disproved that the
Wings stand upon the old Republican Platform
-that If se!f gOoernmont and self Independence
and no boring to, and begging IF Great Brit
ain.
This is true American dootrine--true Rcpub-
licansm-it is true Wing doctrine-iust the
ground our fathers took when they declared
and fought to attain independence in the Rev
oluton. They attained it-LET US KEEP |
IT.

The late Session of Congress


There has been u very general expression
Ofjoy in our community, at the reception of
the information that the session of Congress
was at length terminated. 1t has been one of
the longest, and certainly one ofthe most re-
markable, sessions ever held No body of
men, chosen TO represent the interests of 9th
ers, ever assembled on the face ofthis earth,
who were so recklessly and villainousy re-
CARELESS of those interests. The maiorites
OF the two branches, on nearly all the great
questions that have been brought before them,
have evinceda subserviency to the will ofthe
Executive, blind and criminal adherence TO
party, and disregard ofthe great interests
of the country, which has shocked and as
founded prudent reasonable and patriotic
men of all parties. We pray that it may not
be in the Providence ofHeaven, that that body
otnen shall ever again assemble. They have
done injury enough-performed deeds of in
EQUITY snough--to characterize themselves,
and that portion ofour history in which they
have been allowed to act so prominent part.
WHAT'S done cannot, at present, be undone
Il is the province of the People ofthe United
states to form their judgment upon these the
pubic acts oftheir representatives. The peo-
pie will be called, ere long, to pronounce theix
verdict upon the transactions of their guilty
Loco Foco rulers. Let them do so-forcibIy,

SAD ACCIDENT AT HINESBURGH!
We learn that, about noon on Sunday last,
the bodies of three young men were found

Congress has already made war approximations

I'LL all available property the country is used up
Tor That purpose A National Debt is n National
curse: 1t pensions an aristocracy on the Iaborinc
classes: takes future generations which we have
no right to do. Therefore. if Congress- should
create debt, which is probably the intention Of
many who have urged on this war, and who want
to pension themselves or their offsprinu IN tbs
people, will advise, and do hereby advise INV
cniidren' (and hope every National Reformer
VIII DO the same,) to use all The power and in.
huence they may ever possess to prevent the
payment OF any such debt, against the creation of
which protest in their names. Let all the
property flrst be taken, if necessary and let the
holders OF the property be foremost in person 10
defend the country; let the land be secured to
'ne people; and then, if there should be no other
alternative, the poor might consent to have their
children taxed to pay interest on debt.
There are many sound and judicious remarks
IN the above paragraph, yet it will not command
moments consideration with those who have
the controlling power OF this great nation. We
do rot believe that the editor and the National
Reformers can effect that which South Carolina
could not do, and nullDy the laws authorizing
the loan of money, and guaraniyng the payment
thereof.-JNe,D Era.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

we see it stated in the Richmond Wing, that
Secretary Bancroft has recently issued an order
TO the Marine Band, requiring them to lay aside
all Italian airs, and to conine themselves 10 Ma
tonal Songs. This the Wing looks upon as the
every refinement Of hu,nbug." We disagree
with the astute editor in this as in mapv o,ber
particulars. 1t is. in our opinion, an order dic,s
ted by good sense and patriotism. The other
day we were in the public grounds in Washing
ton with large company of ladies' and gentle
men, when the Marine Band entertained them
with their Italian nonsense, until the multitude
were sick at heart At the earnest request of

gratifying effect, upon the whole multitude We

vice before God than be who repeats ten thousand

leads for ever from the path oftruth into endless
war with humanity and nature. The single
doctrine that only one belief among all be true

ancient divisions of the earth with more human
blood, and authorized more horrible crimes .bro'
