in what part OF the State you will. 1t is rank
injustice to give any one section Of State gu
peror privileges 10 another seetion-lo say that
a man in one part of the State shall have the
same say in The government aa one and half,
two, three and even four in other parts. Such
a system is founded on the rankest injustice.

which is all that prevents that country from
being a republipAand ii is from the working OF

voice, would "ride down another section
'iwould monopoliIe all the Offices" &c. The
majority OF the people should have majority
voice, and the constitution must protect the mi

REsIGNATIoN OF DANIEL WEBSTER.
Daniel Webster has rendered his resig-
nation Of Secretary of State owing to his
health, which requires protracted ab-
sence. The President has strongly urged
him TO retain it, consenting to any ar
rangements he may desire to adops.----
Mr.. w. will sail for Europe about the
middle of August, and remain abroad till
the re-assembling of Congress. In or.
der to relieve the President from embar-

in his hands to be acted upon as he may

place no CONFIDENCE in the correctness of
the statement.

DEMOCRACY AND SOUTHERN RlGHTs.-
The partizan expounders of Democracy
are attempting to create the impression
that Democracy and the support OF South
ern Rights are one and the same thing.
This they do for the purpose of exculpat-
ing MIR. Johnson from the censure which
he has incurred for his course on the
Compromise measures, and to gain votes
from those whose good sense and patriot
ism would not yield to anything less than
their attachment to something which they
believed to be Democracy. Like the
quack who converted every disease into
fits, before he could cure it, these ex-
Founders change every thing l1ato Democ-
gacy, hoping thereby to be successful.
The rash advocacy of Southern Rights.
amounting to secession and diSunl0n is a
case beyond thsir skill; and if they can
only throw it into Democracy, they think
they have some chance,
We warn the Democratic Union men
against such deception. We warn them
against being blinded by the assertion
:hat Mr. Johnson is Southern Rights
man; and we ask them to examine and
see if ais manner of sustaining Southern
Rights does not amoant to Disunion?
IF the courage of the South were doubt
ed, these fire and tow exhibitions of
spunky hostility might have some ap-
peasance OF propriety. But her courage
is unquestioned, and she can gain nothing
by such a course. If Southern Rights
cannot be preserved without fighting our
Northern brethren for them-then, in
deed, will this Union be dissolved.
We hope the Union men, both Wings
and Democrats, will strip this Democratic
Southern Rights mask from the features
of disunion, and expose them in all their
frightfu:: deformity, to merited and un-
mitigated scorn.

before the flag of the stars and stripes
loated unmolested aloft in the envious
view Of its still malicious enemies. That
honor which they had pledged triumphed.
