Elections br The People.

There is no greater evidence of increasing iuteIi- seace among the mass of our population, than the changes that have been gradually and quietly made in lhe nanaer oi choosing certain officers. dis position has been manifested to make all civil off, eeTs of every grade and class elective directly by the people. The cid notion, that the purity of the ersnine would be soiled by too close contact with ihe sovereigns, has becoe obsolete. In most of the States the circu, judges, and in many of them the supreme judges, are elected by the popular vote. The experiment. has succeeded we'll The voters consider their interes, and eject the best and ablest men. It is now proposed in several States that the United States Senators should be chosen in the same manner. We can see DO ob- jection to this, as there Is no office in the United States to which the humbest child of our free ins tutions may not aspire, there need be no candid ate above the reach of his suffrage" It is in accordance with one of the hrst principles of de- mocracy that to the governed belongs the right of choosing the;r governors 1" and unnecessary delegations of power are anti democratic Although the principle was established that the people were the soarce of all civil power yet in the infancy of our model republic it was not known to what extent the masses might be trusted with the exer- else of their newly restored rights, and numerous checks aud guards we're thown around the elective franchise. One by one, as we have learned to know and understand our duties aud our privileges, these restrictions have been removed We are still progressing and improving, and whenever it can be done with safety. we should not hesitate te simplify the organization Of our government. In the words of the Old Hero Jackson, "whs,sysr Is right. is expedient"

A correspondent oi the Baltimore Sun ascsibes a declaration 70 the President which is calculated 10 strike attention. He states il in the iollowins terms in hls letter ot Saturday last: M
 It will be gratifying 10 The people of PennsyIsan ma 10 know, that while General Taylor expgessty leaves to the representatives of the people in Con- gress the adjustment of the tarif, he has today avowei himself in favor of protec ioa--ofa tarii whieh w'li endure, m virtue of not being too high and that he gives a decided preference 10 sBeci6t daiis' orer he ad paIsysm priRciplf, which found favor with the past administration. This is inc result oi conversation had with the Old Cheftain lhis day hy Mr. Robert NJ. Riddle, editor of the rhtsourg CommeIelal Journal, irom whom obtained the facts.
 lt this statement be ilue-and 1t rests on the ,es timony Of Mir. RIddie--the democ rats must be pre- pared tn weather the storm which threatens their revenue tariH. Indeed why should We doubt oi the danger which threatens us, wheI, we recoiieel MT. Mefediihs letter, Mr. Clayton's declarations NJ, Hudson's reporl, or the givings-out of the National lnteiligencer We repeat, therefore. 10 Inc denloesa's, ''stand to yoar arins."-I Union.
 This Is what we expected. Gen. Taylor was elected as whig; his cabinet is composed of the most ultra whgs. Although the democrats gave 10 him his fame and popularity as soldier. ye, the whigs claim him for their president, and twill he. hiil he an attemp. mus, be made ,o reviv. tn pet measures of fesrsi policy That i. exactly the position We wish the whigs to take. When, as in the last campaign, they como nmong us like a thief in the night" and, pretending to have laid aside all opposition 10 the old issaes," insinuae themselves into ihe confidence of the unwsry, they are dangerous oRpeaeais; but when they come boldly forward and Pns forth their a,rength to op pose democratic principles and democ rattle measures we always gain the victory.
 The statement of Mr. Riddle, however, if true, shows "which way the cat jnmps" If we wish to avoid another national calamity that will paraiyze the eiissts and crush the energies es our ndsstra clssses for the benefit of few favosi,es of fer,sne by the revival of the hank and protective tariff, we mast take care to send nP nepe but democrats to the srsei paiioaa!
