Remarks.
Tie question Of our Individual century
is Of such small consequence to the pqoi'
that we pass it over without remark oom Nc
ether points presented in the above article
seem to deserve consideration.
l. Az to the fact. Since it was praot l,
cable to do 50, we have taken pains 70 call
The party to which the Plaindealer belongs
.tzs 0op0stttora, which at present they are
and have used the term fLocoFooo' but
seldom. So The PIaindealer's Invariably
used is decided mistake
Q. The words Democrat, Democratic
&c. are yery often used in The Tribune, but
not often Though they are sometimeS) as
distinguishing The Plaindealer's party
And why? Simply because ''e do not BE-
heus that ssporty is dtsta'ettuely Democratic.
In other words, we cannot see why Senator
BurLEp of S. G. should be called Demo
crat to distinguish him from Senator SEW
ARD Of N. Y. We cannot see that, on
the questions which divide. them, Mr.,
Butler has the. Democrat, side. If The
plaindealer can see that, we think it must
have rare faculty for looking around
short corner; but that is not the point in
dispute. We are not disputing the right OF
The Plaindealer to claim monopoly of De-
mocracy for It's own party we are only vim
dicating our own right to use words which
express our earnest convictiDns. Had we
called John P. Hale Democrat while he
supported Polk and Dallas, and dcserter
from Democracy when he abandoned them
on the question of Annexing Texas with
Slavery, we should have been guilty of
falsehood, which we dread more than 60 be
called By The Plaindealor no gentleman.
8. We DO not consider the word Loco
Foco' nickname do not use it as such
We do not consider ourselves nickuamed
when an opponent calls us Federalist if
that term expresses in his view the princi-
Piles We advocate. We never take ononse at
that or any kindred designation. We use
the term Loco,Foco' to designate certain
political creed, whereof exclusive Hard
Money, hostility to the Protection of Home
Labor, general aversion to Government aid
to the improvement Of Rivers, HarbOrs, &c.
are the chief articles. The fit motto Of this
P ltical school is The best Government is
that which governs least 1t would, if
logically consistent, confne the sphere of
Government to Furnishing criminals aud re-
pressing outrage on persons and property.
1t is 8 do-nothing. stand.stil, anti-social
school. We, on the other hand, believe that
Government, like every other intelligent
agency, is bound to do good to the extent Of
IL ability-that it ought actively to promote
ard increase the general weIl-being that it
should encourage and foster Industry. Sci
ence, Invention, Intellectual, Social and
Physical Progress, as well as provide Prose-
eating Attorneys, Constablos and Execu-
TONERS. Such is our idea Of the sphere Of
Governmont-such is our conception Of the
essence and scope of the great questions
wherein the Country is Politically divided.
We believe that oura is truly the Democratic
side Of these questions, but we claim and
desire no monopoly of the Democratic
name. All We ask and desire is to
stand on & footing Of equality with our an.
tagoniSts-not to be required to admit our
selves cut Of Court in opening the case to the
Jury. TIE very largo proportion of our
citizens, and especially those coming to US
from Europe, the term Democratic is de-
oisivc of the controversy-they 60 where
that is found whether used to cover Slavery
or anti,Slavery, Protection or anu,Protec.
ton. Improvement or anti-lmproyement-
Hundreds Of thousands regularly vote
against Protection to Home Industry be-
cause they are told that they must so vote
to be Democrats, who formerly and with
greater heartiness votod for Protection when
that was termed Democratic, We only re-
Quire the use Of such names that the ques-
lions to be passed upon by the electors shall
be decided on their naked merits aud not
on the names assigned to or assumed by the
parties respectively, But to admit that the
party to which we are opposed is the Demo-
cratic party is to tell the millions of fugi.
