OUR FUTURE.-An article in Backwood's
Magazine, on "American politics." concludes
with the following prophetic words:
"Whoever may be the President, however,
the United States will hold the even tenor of
their way increasing every day and every
hour in material prosperity -augmentng in
population and resources. They will not in
terfere in the affairs of Europe, notwithstand-
ing all Kossuth can say; they will not again
attempt to surprise Cuba, under cover of a
Creole revolution, till a more favorable OPP
portunity. They will coquette with the Sand
wich Islands, push their feelers into the open
oyster-shell of Mexico, and as far as the mar
rowest part of the Isthmus, feeling a destiny
which impels them thither. They will flat
ter and court the Canadians, who hate them;
construct railroads and canals as highways
for enterprises of ~ kinds; settle, populate,
cultivate, develope wild districts and undis-
covered resources; display many of the best
and many of the worst features of the An
glo-Saxon character, with here and there a
touch of the different nations which they are
absorbing into themselves and in the end,
believe, before magnitude causes disjunction,
or corruption produces decay, will become,
what they believe themselves to be now, one
of the greatest people that the earth has ever

nights successively that he should find this
treasure, the place to be indicated by four
iron bars projecting from the earth. He
went and found his dream realized. Two
hundred and forty thousand dollars had been
discovered up to Monday night, buried in iron
chests, and the people have turned out with
their pickaxes in further search for the treasure

MONUMENT to Mr.. CLAY.-The monument
to Mr.. Clay at Pottsville, Pa, is to consist of
a statue nine feet in height, on a Grecian
Doric column, of cast iron, starting from a
base of rocks-the whole height of column
and base 63t feet above the neat lines, being
1873 feet above the sidewalk on Centre street,
Pottsville fronting the monument. The in
scription is to be as follows:
"In honor of Henry Clay, Americas great
Orator, Statesman and Patriot. This monu-
ment was erected by the citizens of Schuyl-
kill county, and bequeathed to their children
as a record of their gratitude for his illustri-
Gus, which brought peace, prosperity and glo-
ry to his country. A tribute of admiration
for the virtues which adorned his useful life,
and won for his imperishable name the respect
and affection of mankind"

cratic policy established in Madison's time =
because Mr. Clay supported it, and wished to
see it developed in accordance with its true
principles and its adaptation to the advancing
growth of the country. Democracy then took
its negative form and found its function in
destroying.
The party in opposition to General Jack
sons administration and headed by Mr.. Clay
took the name of Whig-a name connected
with so many patriotic associations that the
other side sought to impair its influence by
applying along with it the appellation federal,
which was supposed to carry some odium
wherever it was attached. But the applica-
ton of the term to the Wings is not more
incorrect in point of fact than the ordinary
political use of the term itself is-.s senseless.
The party that framed the Federal Constitu-
ton in the Convention of 1887, supported it
afterwards in the several States, and finally
established it upon the ruins of the old Con-
federation, were first designated federalists,
and the designation was appropriate and
characteristic. The leader of the federal
party was George Washington, a man of
some repute in his day, and generally believed
to be a sincere lover of his country and a
friend to freedom. We believe that the term
democrat was taken from the French revolu-
tionists, who used it as antagonistical to the
term aristocrat, then term of reprobation in
France. This was proper use of it; but
there is no antagonism between the terms
democrat and tederalist-none whatever Mr..
Jefferson was strictly correct when he said in
his inaugural address, ave are all federalists,
zoe are all democrats" All who favor the
Union are federalists because it is Federal
Union; all who favor the republican form of
government, as it exists among the States of
the Union, are democrats universal
suffrage among citizens, which is the basis of
our republicanism, is the essential principle
of democracy.
There is no principle of democracy involved
at all in any question as to the relative pow
ers of the Federal Government and those of
the States. Democracy sustained and
strengthened the powers of the Federal Gov
ernment, and carried them almost to the ex-
tent of despotic force, when Gen. Jackson
was President. 1t finds no antagonist in
federalism, except that it would prefer more
thorough Capitalization, which, in all proba-
bility, it will effect at some future time

OLD MARYLAND.-The Rockville (Md.)
Journal says "The Scott enthusiasm is ra-
ging with perfect heat! In every State of
the Union the Wing heart is right the
Wing cause is onward Old Lundy's Lane,
who never sustained defeat, will bear the
Wing flag triumphantly through the contest.
Always favorite with his soldiers, thousands
Of the Democratic party are now shouting
for their beloved old leader. From Maine to
California, the fame of the old hero is famil-
iarly known in every county, town and hum
let. His humanity, benevolence, and affection
for his soldiers, have been displayed in every
act Of his life. His devotion to his country,
upon whose battle-felds he poured out his
blood; the many incaleulable services he has
rendered the nation in peace as in war, have
excited the love aud gratitude of the Ameri-
can people, and they are determined to re-
ward him by eecting him the next President
of the United States.
Now JUST LOOK AT THIs-We see from
the Cleveland Herald that the editor of the
Cleveland Plaindealcr, democratic paper
published in the midst of Freesoilers, claims
that the reports of Gen. Pierce's New Bos-
ke true and attempts to make
of them for his party. He
SS,.isy INSERTS Us a fact that "Frank Pierce
loaths the fugitive slaue laW and has the most
revolving feeling to giving up fugitive
slare"
So, in the Freeso regions the democratic
game is to circulate the reports of General
Pierce's New Boston speech and turn them
to account in gaining freesoil votes, while in
the slaveholding States the game is to de-
nonncc those reports with the utmost wrath
as Abolition forgeries! This double game is
eminently worthy of gang of political
blacklegs. Will it win!-Lou. Jour.
