Democracy.

Democracy IS glorious word; there are
very lew IN the wide world that will com.
pare with it. Ii is The darling of the poor
tan, Tor he knows that by il he is raised
from the pit in which his oppressors would
leave him, and enabled to turn his face
heavenward, and bless God that Ire is free
man, Democracy knows no distinction be-
tween man and man, it places every one on
the broad platform oi equality. II one says
TO another 4 am thy SUPERIOR, this heaven
born Democracy asks the question, show is
iiP and If II is not in superiority of virtue
and intellect, il pronounces the arrogant one
oil the worst as he is swelied up with dis
gnsting pride. Democracy teaches that no
man is his fellows superior, except he ex-
GELS IN virtue and intellect, even then lie ~
entitled TO no political privileges that others
are deprived Of.
The scale which Democracy holds 10 her
hands will not preponderate hairs breadth
the more IN favor OF the rich than il does for
the poor, or of the high than The low. Like
the brigh, pure sun, il would shed its rays
OH all alike. 1t teaches, with the book, Thar
we are all formed OF the same clay-the same
breath was breathed into us all. The poor
man should cherish Democracy-it is TO him
tower oil strength when all else fails-he
should cling TO those who adhere to his
principles, they are his only friends.
We will say OF this priceless jewel, thou
art ours and we are thiue-it we forget thee
may our right hand forget her cunning-if
we cease TO speak well of thee, may our
tongue cleave 10 the roof Of our mouth.

On the disha nding Of the volunteers after
the battle Of New Orleans. this road became
infested with robbers, who sought, ie fat
boatman as their prey, and the road became
very dangerous to travel, except in large par
ties. A young boatman. who had realized n
large profit on his produce, was returning
home on one occasion by this road, when he
was severely wounded BY rifle ball, robbed
OF all his money, and left for dead. lie was
found by young Indian girl Of exquisite
beauty, the daughter of chief who owned a
large tract Of land in Mississippi. The Girl
perceiving some signs of life, ran to fetch
some water, which she gave him to drink
and then dragging him into a thicket, went

dressed, and the Indian girl attended him, and
watched over him from day to day unit, he
recovered.
During his illness, the young boatman oh.

deep interest, and his gratitude soon deepen.

Inc old chlei gave to him his daughters share

The old chief refused to live with them, he

A Thrilling Scene.

An affair lately occurred at an exhibition
in Toronto of the most intensely exciting,
aud terrific description, and which, but for
the interpidity, daring and presence OF Van
Amhurg would certainly have resulted in the
horrible death OF your old friend, Sig. Hy-
dralgo. The circumstances were as follows.
AT about nine O'Clock llydralgo went into
the cage, in whcl, had been placed Our larg-
est Panther. the Bengal Tiger, the African
Lioness, the spotted Leopard, u Conger, and
the Hyena. The exhibition proceeded. and
Hydralgo seemed TO have the animals COM
plelely under his control, and the audience
seemed 10 be both delighted and interested
at the daring OF the Tanner The perform.
nnce had progressed nearly to its close, when
from some unaccounlable cause the Tiger
became sukey, and refused TO leap. Hyd-
ralgo struck him with his whip, which so
enraged the furious beast, tIet breaking
through all discipline, and with one bound,
and yell of fury, that terrified the audience
he rushed upon Hydraleo, and brought him
TO The floor OF the cage. He could do moth
ing--he Ind lost all control over the brute.
Everything was in confusion, women faint.
ed. others screamed in terror, children cried
and the men seemed paralyzed. Ii would
have been all up with poor IL. had not Van
Amourg, who was on the other side of the
arena, rushed to the spot; in an instant he
was in the cage, and III less time than il
takes to write it, he had the enraged animal
under his feet in perfect subjection, and re.
leased his friend from his perilous situation,
fortunately more frightened than hurt
Van Am5urg's presence of mind, his cour-
age, and interpidiry are deserving Of all
praise, which he received in three hearty
cheers from the audience. For The time il
lasted, about two or three minutes, it was
the mcst exciting scene ever witnessed.

Pulpit Patriotism.

Mr.. Buckingham, in his "reminiscences,
narrates the following incident of old DR.. Bent
ley, Of Salem
As an instance of his patriotism, it is relat-
ed that when the Constitution frigate was driv-
en- into Marblehead by three British ships, and
fears were entertained that she might be cap
tured, he was performing his ordinary service
in the pulpit Some one informed him of the
circumstances, and he instantly stopped the
services; announced the intelligence to the
congregation, and remarking that they could
worship God at all times, but could save the
Constitution only by immediate action, he left
the pulpit, hurried to the fort at Marblehead,
reported himself to the commander, and re-
quested to be placed where he could be OF ser
vice. He was ordered to stand by one OF the
Guns. The danger was soon over, and return
Inp 10 Salem in time for the afternoon service,
he delivered an extempore sermon on patriot
ism. from the text, There go the ships

A movement is commenced for the formation
Of new nation under this title. An Austria
ilan Leagne is proposed for the purpose Of unit
ing five colonies under its banner. The lead
ing character is presbyterian minister by the
name of Lang, who lately lectnred npon the
subject at Melbourne, Australia, and adopted

was received with great applause. The colo

to defend themselves against the Further ;n,r.,-
duction Of conyicts from Great Rri,a;n AZ
another is to effect their independence from,
Great Britain, and the erection Of free form
of governments with the consent and appreciation
Of the mother coansry. Ifthis should succeed,
there will probably arise there the same parties
that have existed in this country from the ear
hest period of our national existence. One in
favor of fliberty and equality, and the other the
lord and seyt' party which the English have
endeavored to propagate ever the world. Had
the principles of the high tory party prevailed
IN this country, it is probable that before this,
the English system of political degradation for
the masses would have been established in all
her colonies. Too much praise cannot, there
fore, be given to those worthless of the Ameri-
can revolution who fought for the free and equal
enjoyment of American citizens, and who in
consequence Of their success have given that
tone to the expanding institutions of every new
settlement and of every rising people, which
promises ultimately to bless with freedom and
independence the inhabitants of every country
on the face Of the globe.-Pror. Journal.
