What Genuine Uemocracv is.

WHAT Genuine Democracy is. |
The following letter Of Mr.. Salmon P. !
Chase, when the Democrats and Free Sellers
Of the Ohio Legislature confessed to make !
Senator Of the United States, is useful to
show at least one phase Of that intangible
and multiform thing called Democracy. and
ought to satify all candid men that the efforts
sometimes made to convince the Southern
people that the Democratic party of the
North is sounder than the Wing party of
the North, are wholly illusory:
LocEroRr. July 7, 1851.
My DEAN SIR: regret exceedingly that
i'll health of member Of my family will
make it impossible for me TO attend the
Democratic Convention to be held at VIII
mington on the 18th inst. Few things would
give me more satisfaction than to be present
on that occasion, and confer freely with my
fellow-citizens upon the course of action
which faithful adhesion to Democratic
principles now demands; and it is with real

President fillmore.

The Alexandria Gazette, always good
authority, says in Virginia the Wings are
entirely united in their support of the ad-
ninistration of President Fillmore, and he
is, undoubtedly, we think, the first choice as
a candidate at The next Presidential cleo
ton. They do not 60 in, however, for push
ing this matter prematurcly, or for commenc-
ing the canvass until there is a necessity for
action. The more they see OF the President
the more they like him; the more they ex-
anime his course, the more they are satisfied
that he is an honest, safe, and patriotic
statesman and they incline tothe belief, that
as things proceed, it is quite probable large
majority of their countrymen will be of the
same opinion. When we have, concludes
the Gazette, good man and true patriot
at the head of the Government prudence
seems to dictate that change at this time !.

between the North and the South and see where
the profit, and where the loss falls.
81. By trickery, fraud, and 'kingly prerogatve,
the North gains all of California and this the South
IooseS.
''2 By the supposed existence of Mexican law
in the Territories acquired by the war, and which
the North refuses to appeal and by the existence of
doubts upon this subject, which are as potent as
law, to exclude the South, and which Congress re-
fuses to solve, the North gains all of Utah and New
Mexico. And..all of this, the South looses.
''3 The North gains one hundred and twenty
five thousand square miles of the Territory of the
State of Texas running the proposed boundary far
below the line of SO deg. 80 min., and embracing
enough of surface for three States as large as Ala
bama. Besides this, the North gains the proper
tional amount which the South must contribute for
the purchase of territory, from which her citizens
will be excluded And all this the South looses.
90. Under the pretext of more effectually carry
ing out the provisions of the constitution in relation
to the recapture of fugitive slaves the North impo
ses upon the South new conditions and new obliga-
tons not imposed or contemplated by the consttu-
ton, and secures precedent for direct interfe-
renee in the relation of master and slave, within the
jurisdiction of the holding States All this
the North gains, and the South tooseS.
''5. In suppressing the slave trade in the Dis
trict of Columbia, the North effects an object on
which it has been intent on the last twenty years,
and establishes the jurisdiction of Congress the
whole subject of slavery therein principle which
the South has uniformly resisted. So, here again,
the North gains everything, and the South looseS

Eg" The new Governor of Massachusetts, holds
the following language in his Message to the Leg
slature of his State. The picture of the future of
the South he draws is dark and gloomy one, and
it will surely be verified unless we arouse ourselves
and open up the avenues to wealth and greatness
by enlarged system of internal Improvements
and manufacturing interests The South must
commence this work soon, or her day of vassalage
to foreign influence is nigh.
90 Her free institutions have given to the North
vast increase of wealth and numbers. The cen
sus of 1850 will establish its power in the House of
Representatives by delegation hardly less than
two-t thirds of the whole number. By the admis-
sion of California we have majority of two in the
Senate while the majority in both branches is
destined to be increased by the freedom of Della
ware and the admission of Oregon, New Mexico
and Minnesota, within the present ten years. In
this view of the positive and prospective power OF
the North, there seems to be occasion to despair
either of our free institutions or our country.
The entire coast of the Pacific is dedicated tc
freedom. The commerce of the country is in the
hands of the North. These are important facts in
determining the future relative power of the two
sections of the country.
The introduction of manufactures into the Soutl
will lead to inquiries to the relative cost o
free and slave labor, and the great truth will BE-
elected that the former is the only economical sys
tenn. -

''But this unjust discrimination between the cti-
zens of the North and of the South, within iuris-
dction set apart for their government pro-
posed as it is, not in compliance with any demand
made by the people of the District, but in defe-
renee to the fell spirit of ant-slavery, is not the
only objection to the bill. Pass it. and the long
mooted question of Congressional jurisdiction over
the subject of slavery in the District will have been
settled. 1t will prove to be but the introduction to
the ultimate object-the total abolition of slavery
itself in the District and the creation of freesoil
Territory, in the very bosom of the slave holding
States. Adopt this measure, and breast-work
will have been constructed from which the shafts OF
abolition viii be thrown with most deadly effect
against the entire social system of the Southern
States. In view of the avowed objects of the North
as daily proclaimed here and elsewhere, in refer
ence to the institutions of the South, trust that
no son of hers, by supporting this measure, will fur
nish weapon to be used against her hereafter. Let
US not aid in building this harmony of precedent.
So that when the day shall come, that rends this
Union in twain, come it will, unless the madness
of the North shall yield to returning sense of JUS
tice, of the South may be enabled to say
IF Rome fall, we are innocent

beyond the mere pttances allowed them by law, of
salaries and mileage. The salaries of cabinet
ministers and the pay Of members of Congress are
precisely the same at the present day, or nearly
so, as they were fifty years ago, before the rent of
houses, the price Of pantaloons, or the expense of
sources, and other items of fashionable and diplo-
matte life, affected by the influence of Cali
fornia gold and the prevalence OF fashions imported
from Europe TO this part of the world, cabinet
minister in Washington cannot live on six thou
sand dollars year, without being at the same time
an agent for Florida claims, Galphin claims,
Mexican claims, some sort of claims, whereby
he can increase it to twenty or thirty thousand
dollars year; nor can any member Of Congress
afford to live in Washington at the present rate of
expense, on the per diem now allowed, without put.
ting his hand, o. his whole arm into the Treasury,
and getting pretty large grab in the way of mile
age; or endeayoring to make something by being
agent for passing through claims in both houses,
III the shape of a per centage for his trouble, in
some roundabout way.
The defence set up by the secret circular, from
the pen of Mr. Harvey, is good enough as far as it
goes; but it is conceived in bad temper, and does
not contain the philosophi al and arithmetical
consideration Of prizes and values which we have
given in this instance. We think, therefore, that
defence Of the cabinet is much better than that
which has emanated from the Treasury itself
This new doctrine will, of course, be approved by
the Wing State Convention, which is to meet at
Lancaster Pennsylvania, on the 9th Of June, to
nominate candidates for the Presidency, and to lay
out platform Of principles for 1852.
