some Of the West India Islands A disease

Boston Medical Journal alludes to the sub
ect as follows:
at is certain, from the accounts received
both here and in England, the true plague
has been introduced into Madeira, and the
work Of death has been really appalling. Tho

There Is reason to believe it viii the wonder

PnMcIpLFs or THE DEgocRATIC PAETr.-
Every member Of the Democratic party has
reason to be proud Of his connection with IT,
Il is the party Of the country--the party Of
equal rights-the party which sustains the
puFest code Of political ethics that the world
has ever known Thos Jefferson embodied
its creed and carried out its fundamental doc
trines:
The people. the only source Of legitimate
power
The absolute and lasting severance Of
Church and State.
The freedom, sovereignty, and indepcnd-
ence Of the respective States.
The Union, confederaey, compact neither
a consolidation nor a Capitalization.
The constitution Of the Union, a special
written grant Of power, limited and definite.
The civil, paramount to the military power
The representative to obey the instruction
Of his constituents.
Election free and suffrage universal.
No hereditary Office, no order nor title.
No taxation beyond the public wants.
No national debt if possible.
No costly plcndor Of administration.
No prescription Of opinion, nor Of public
discussion.
No unnecessary interference with individual
conduct, property or speech.
No favored classes or monopOlies.
No public monies expended except BY war
rant Of special appropriation.
No mysteries Of government inaccessible to
the public eye
Public compensation for public services,
salaries moderate and peryading economy.
The political creed Of the Democracy is
embodied in the above few lines, but how cx-
pansive when properly inyestigated-how ben
efeial when the theories Of whiggery do not
prevent their complete operation. They arc
in perfect harmony with a perfect enjoyment
Of freedom Of opinion and promotive Of insti-
tutions extending the progress Of monopolics-
IF It discriminatcs in favor Of any class, the
difference is made in behalf Of the poor man.
IN fine, we here present the democratic plat
form, perfect, unchanging, sound system.

GEORGE GALPmN.-Thc Whig quibles
about our statement that revolutionary sol.
der Of this county knew Galphin, and knew
him to be a tory. Does the Wing deny our
statement? If he does, we viii prove it..
Probably that will satisfy him.
The old soldier to whom VIC referred is a
man Of the strictest veracity, and is known 70
be by the whole county No one will dispute
his word, or any statement he makes. In poli-
tics he is a whig. He heard ThompsOn's
speech here about Galphin having been a rev
olutionary hero, and having fought with Ma
rion and Sumter, and he says there is not
word Of truth in it.
George Galphin married the sister Of the
old soldiers father, and he therefore had an
opportunity to know him. lie says he knew
them all, and they were the rankest and blood
lest tories in Georgia. They spared life nor
property. sex or age They headed band Of
scoundrels, who murdered and plundered with
the barbarity and ruthlessness Of savages.
As member Of band Of American pat
riots, our old soldier says he has often sought
for the Galphins; and declares that although
connected with Galphin by the ties Of blood.
vet he would have killed him as soon and will
ingly as he would have killed mad dog.
George Galphin had abandoned his wife. BY
whom he had two sons. and had taken up with
a negrcss, BY whom he also had two sons;
and abandoning her he took up with an In
dian squaw who bore him two sons lie lived
with the Indians, traded with them. and cheat
ed them out Of a large fortune. When the
revolution broke out he joined the British, and
with his six sons. and his Indian allies, and
cut-throats and scoundrels whom he gathered
about him. he was the scourge and terror Of
the whole country around him.
This was the kind Of man whom Mr..
Thompson now holds up as a revolutionary
hero, and whom he classes with Marion and
Sumter, and the model Of an American patri-
OF. His heirs are the men to whom General
Tsylor's cabinet gave 100000 out Of the
public treasury for his losses and sacrifices in
the cause Of American liberty Aud it Is this
act Of public plander which Mr. Thompson
is now defending all over the State We
leave it to the people to say whether Mr..
Thompson is a ct person to place at thc head
Of our State goyernment.--Hopkinsrii |
