for this end which these few have enacted in our
legislative halls. Where then is the party ground!
where are party testsl They are here. Does the
measure yen propose tend 10 secure to the
laborer the products Of his labor? Is it on his
side of the question in the war which is going for
ward If it is, it is democratic and true party
testif it is not, it is anti-democratc, and should
be denounced by all democrats So far as we are
concerned, we challenge any man, and we open
our columns to him, to show that Of the many re,
forms we have urged and are urging upon the
party action, a single one of them is not for the
many against the few. and is not therefore demo
cratic
True whilst we say these measures are Demo
cratic, We disposed neither TO quit or dcnounce
the party because the party do not all come up to
and embrace our standard We shall urge these
measures upon their attention and consideration;
and what we ask aud demand Is, that we shall
not be denounced for SO doing, unless it can be
shown that the measures we urge are not demo
cratic upon the grounds we have laid down

The correspondent of the Philadelphia
American, in yesterdays paper, makes the
following statements respecting the pro-
cccdings and feelings at Washington, in re-
lation TO the treaty:
The treaty was returned to the Senate
to-day IN Executive Session, without any
report from Tie Committee on Foreign Re
Iatlons in favor or against il, and without
amcndmcnt. 1t was discussed with much
spirit by the " Democratic" side Of the
Chamber entirely, with 4 few remarks from
one or two " higs, relating to incidental
points. Those who were most conspicu-
Gus in opposition to It's ratification, have re-
affirmed their opinions out of doors in free
conversations and with no purpose OF re-
serve rs to their intentions. Il is not pro-

Senator ha: the privilege to speak of ms

ratify the treaty for, inquired he, where is
the idemnity for the past! and admitting
that to he obtained, where is the security
for the future! He never would consent
by his vote to accept such terms, after all
that had been pledged TO the country, and
after the vast expense of life and treasure
which has been incurred.
Mr.. Allen was equally hostile to the
ratification. and indifferent To the conceal

IL A late Boston Chronotype publishes few
thoughts taken from discourse of Rev Theodore
Parker, on Human Perfection The extract sub
joined contains matter which will arrest the a.en,

Nature makes the indvidual-it is intent
upon the single flower, the tree, the animal.
1t does not make the genera and classes
Those are the work OF art. We make them
for our own convenience. God requires
and looks for perfection in the individual
man. And every man has the moral pow
er to obey and be perfect. Society, on the
other hand, makes little of the individual

tendency to throw away individualism is
