Dcmocracy aud Corporations.

The Philadelphia Sun, in replying to an ar
iicle in The Pennsyluanian declaring iha. the
/" Democracy" are "opposed TO all exclusive
grants and privileges of any kind" refreshes
the memory of that journal with the following
undeniabIe facts, which we re-publsh for The
purpose Of exposing the bypocriucal pretenders
who are endeavoring 10 humbug the people,
The truth is, and the records OF our State his.
tory will show it, that the Locofocos are the
friends and advocates Of these corporations, and
created all that now exis in the Commonwealth.
For Years Locofocosmhas been in the ascend
ant in Pennsylvania, and all these exclusive
grants" and monopoly privileges" which food
the State are the exclusive offspring of thai
party.
The Sun rebu,s the falsehoods Of the Penn
sylvanian with The following facts:
1.-The whole State Of Pennsylvania is now
crammed with corporations, covered by exclu-
sive grants, and devoured by privileges TO mo-
nopolis,s
Pennsylvania has always been governed by
Democrats. Even in Hiesler's time and Rl-
ner's time, there was a Democratic Legislature.
The power 10 make laws has always been in
the hands of the Democratic party. II, then,
the Democrats are opposed TO corporations, how
has it happened that The whole State is flooded
with these exclusive grants and monopoly priv
ileges
We will answer this testimony from the
record of history. The Democratic party, in
stead of opposing created them! Every cor
poralion now existing in The State, will be found
TO have received the votes of a Democratic
Legisla,ure-if not signed by Democratic
Governor

4 Trance.

A Young girl of The Greek Nation, aged Is,
living near Fort Gibson, is causing great sem
sation, in all her region of country. She is de-
scribed by The Cherokee Advocate, as not be-
ing remarkable in former days for any qualities
of mind lha. would distinguish her above many
of her country women. What she does will
be learned by the following extract. Such
phenomena have been observed before in dI.
fereut individuals.
About three months ago while engaged in
some household duties she uttered scream
and fell senseless Her friends supposed lha,
she was dead and made ready TO bury her, but
after remaining in ,ha. state for several hours,
she gave signs of life and gradually regained
her strength. She had been in trance, and
when revived, gave lucid accoun. Of her in
tereourse with The spirits of the upper world
of all rha, was told her, and of certain e.
vents which should come 10 pass. She has
been in The same Stale once or twice since, and
processes 10 have had communion with the Sa-
viour of men, whose wounds open and bleed
afresh upon the perpeiraing oil every wicked
act committed here below and who has taught
her The words Of sweet song, which she sings
with great beauty and effect. She has predic'
led one or two deaths which have come 10 pass
and told from her own feelings, OF murder al
the very time ii was comm,ec. al distance
| of several miles from her home. She has also
urchased her burial clothes, foretold at wha
lime her death would take place and certain
signs which would then be seen, and from which
the world could judge Of The sincerity Of he
professions and the truth Of her revelations.
People from all sections are 0ockng TO SCI
her, and as she goes of again to-day, Tor th'
las, time but one. il is said ,ha, an immens,
crowd will rsli her. There are many wh'
consider her cause remarkable one, and " ho
believing in her inspiration, have become a

HlAmcStOu.

A brute, by name Martin Hare. seduced anc
runaway with young girl, in the city Of New
York. He was traced TO Milwaukee, and there
taken. The girl is now with her parents, and
the villain in custody of the law.
Bat what remedy Goes the law provide for this
mons;rous wrong None whatever. Seduc-
lion, legally, is no crime, aud the man who
commits il, has nothing to fear. Hare, being
married, may be reached, because he went thro'
a mock-msrriage with the girl, and there is q
statute against bigamy. Otherwise he could
laugh at the terrors of the law.
We put il to members of the profession,
whether this ought 70 be so, and whether the
time has not arrived, when they should see 10
il, that the law mctes out exact justice. They
know, as well as We, that every where, public
sentiment is deepening against the profession
The opinion prevails, that the law is not justice
and that Lawyers do not care to promote justice
Of course, as this belief extends, the profession
must sink in influence, and lose caste with all
who so think.
This prejudice may be overcome. But the
only way to overcome it, is, 10 exert profess
sional influence in behalf of wrong-of justice
of what every man in his heart knows to be
right. The world likes not Juggling, whether
in or out Of the law. II hates false preiences,
and shows Of justice! 1t must have ths reality
and unless that is secured. the profession of the
law, as sure as we live, will he held to be any
thing but an honorable profession.
Let the wise turn their attention to these ma,
tors in season. They have no time 10 lose.
