TUESDAY MORNING. NovR 10, 1858
4 NEW YOICE IN THE CONSUL
T1TION


rDemocracv had existed at the time when
Babel was built, or if the grand idea OF an UNI
versal empire of Locofocosm and Manifest pes-
stiny had but at that time been duly unoer-
stood how little could Providence have stopped
THAR x;ckeduess. by confounding their tongues !!
Thew would instantly have taken refuge from
the general babble about principles in the all
suficing expressiveness CT a single word which
every man of them instinctively understands
"spoils - they would at once have invented
what the Philosophers have long sought in vain
but Democracy at once discovered-the Uniyer-
sal Language which all Locofocos speak 80 well :
the learned dialect of Buncombe. An admira-
BILE Convention would they have made, OF Hards
and Softs, Secessionists and unfonists' iouhg
Americans and Old Fogies Then what con-
venience the Tower itself would have been: :
They would lust have sat down, voted set OF
Virginia Resolutions in some jargon that only
the mover understood, and passed a Platform
Of which not even the mover comprehended
sentence or syllable.
Unfortunately, however, all this did not &C.
cur, because nothing but Democracy would do
the like, and Democracy then was not But by
way of making the earth compensation 1t now
benifcently designs to 60 back to that very
time and to found an empire of the whole HUI
man race, with Babel for its model! In its
great national council, every possible gibberish
shall be represented, and no man shall under
stand another, except when he says "spoils.
We like the plan. 1t will save much weari-
ness of the flesh to the speakers; more to the
listners Had it been brought about sooner,
msny's the long day of anguish that We should
have escaped At last, however, that mighty
epoch has dawned 1t has risen in the person
of Don Jose Manuel Gallegos, just elected Dele
gate to Congress from New Mexico; who, We
learn from the papers Of that region, comes the
first.born of Manifest Destiny For he will un-
derstand no one in that body, where none will
understand him. As he really knows no more
of English than they of Spanish, he will be under
no necessity of stopping his ears 1t them, nor
they at him Yet the mutual enlightenment
will be the same.
1t strikes us that this will be q great improve
ment in Congress, as delberatiye assembly.
But this is an age and country of enormous
progress Heretofore, we have often sent am
bassadors abroad who could not speak word of
the language Of the country to which they were
accredited. But like feature in high legis-
lative body is new Locofoco idea. n. b. Will
he be allowed an interpreter?

There is Logic which is called Paralcgisn
and consists in arguing to & Conclusion, from
premises that do not warrant it.
This is vice from which arises \ very great
part OF the false reasonings thlt uislea, maui
kind. There are many authors Of reAow7i VII
have, in all their labors Of thought, done l.tti5
but to pile up, for their results, such false IN
ferences.
Among such, popular in our own day, there
are few apter fer an example than the great
Carolina sophster Of Politics, Mr.. Calhoun Of
whose metaphysical methods this was one: his
other great resort was a sort of reversal Of this
to take principles so wide, fallacious and vast,
that it was difficult to deny as It was to assume
them; and then to argue logically to a conclu-
sion, from what could not be assumed And, in
deed, there needs little but the permission to
employ at pleasure the one or the other of these
two methods, in order that he may be able
to prove what he likes. For false reasoning
must consist eitherin vicious assumption, or
in vicious deduction. Accordingly, all the
peculiar theories of Mr.. Calhoun will be found
when closely scrutinized, to be erected in this
way, as we shall shortly take occasion to show
Az "ae III inns manner tnat ne was aDle TO De at

clared, in 1884, he had been) and equally the
father of the " hard-money clause in the Sub.
treasury law; to be. one of the founders of a
Protective Tariff and one of its chief subyerters
to be great advocate and a great enemy of In.
ternal Improvements; and, yet more strangely
still, to assert and argue, with supreme conf
dence, that there never had been the least incon
sistency in any of his opinions.
We recollect taking the liberty, in one of our
last conversations with him, of telling him, that
we who las he knew were perfectly conversant
with the politics and the men of his State and
knew them to be the most aristocratic in Ameri-
ca, could not help wondering how they and he

from the St Louis Republican of the 9th that most de-
porabe accident occurred in that city the day previous
at the St Charles House 1t appears that Mrs Hicks

A LOVING DISPUTE.


Every body that has dipped into ancient ia
BILE must remember that unhappy singer, the
greatest tenor of his day, Orpheus; and how
the danes of Thrace pulled caps for him, until
not merely the lace and muslin, but the poor
poet himself was torn to pieces. A like eatas-
trophe Of amorous pulling and hauling and
plucking apart seems really to be threatening
that luckless chanter of the PLATFORM Pres
ident Pierce for those contending beauties of
the Democracy, the Hards and Softs, the Com
promisers and Disunionists, the Coalitionists
and the Old Democracy, are all tugging for him
with fury of rival affection which actually
promises to rend him and his Administration
piece-meal. Of this ove-quarrel, as now 60
ing on in New York, our readers know: but it
is raging just as feroely and as noisily in the
ancient and venerable land of the Pilgrim
Fathers; as may be seen in the following brief
bulletin Of the war, which we copy from that
excellent paper, the Providence Journal
lively dispute Is going in Massachusetts touching
the pecuarities OF the Adu itration the slavery
question The C0utionistS Aft that the President ia
them the Boston Post emphatcally denies it, The
Post brings forward great many words the Coaitonss
adduce facts; the Post quotes the Baltimore platform,
the Presidents inaugural and the articles Of the Union
the Coatonists point to the Freeso postmaters and
Collectors appointed by the President, 1t is Of
Stebben's PLATFORM and do not why both parties
may not be content. The Offices given with great
impartiay to those who stand upon the PLATFORM and
to those who spit upon 1.-THE latter having the greatest
number The denials and assertions of the Post
venient for the Southern market.
1t is, we believe, pretty generally agreed that
people in New York are in that advanced state
of political lubricity in which they are said, by
an elegant but somewhat metaphorical express
sion, to I" have cut their eye teeth But 20 a
little further still 'down-east,' and you come
to folks still sharper; who have besides their
eye teeth, cut several others Witness the fact
of the entirely superior manner in which the
Boston league of the Democracy and the Adolf
tonists has been conducted. For some three
years, these parties have sat there, in open
union, publicly partitioning all the offices of the
State and perfectly known to be acting together;
but yet by arrangement, denouncing each
other, all the while, in order that one of the
parties, the so-called democracy, may still pass,
at the South for IS our natural allies" This
honest arrangement was so strikingly good, that
1t was adopted, at Baltimore, as the leading
idea Of the grand party platform of 1852 They
were all to pretend, most tremendously, to be
quarreling; and, meantime, like good eonfed-
crates, to divide the spoil Unfortunately, the
honesty of Judg Bronson and the stupidity Of
Mr.. Guthrie has broken up the happy ARRANGE
meat; and the combined democracy has fallen
from sham fight into a real one
New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1853-11-15

should pretend to call themselves Democrats.
Now, Mr.. Calhoun was capable enough, at a
pinch, Of insincerity witness his simulated re-
Cancellation with Van Buren, and jackson but,
in private, man to man, he was quite sincere
Besides, it would have been useless for him to
deny what We both so we'll knew to be true. So
he admitted the fact and said a." that in truth
that name did not apply to them: for they were
not democrats, but something very different
republicans" We did not press him farther
and ask "what, then. these aristocrauc re-
publicans were doing in the democratic par
tv and under the democratic name ~ To
have set him further upon the interrogato-
nv would have been both uncivil and needless
The admission we had obtained was, as coming
from the great doctrinary Of Southern demo-
cracy, most significant, most decisive. 1t adj
mtted, in reality, that Mr. Calhoun knew THAT
there is an essential difference, and even neces-
sary hostility between Democracy and kepubli-
canism; that they are adverse theories, adverse
systems, and cannot stand together so that any
coalition between them was dangerous and should
be temporary. We know very we'll from this con-
fession that Mr.. Calhoun felt that the great
democratic theroies are Incompatible with the
safety, the existence Of the social institu-
tons of the South: and that as republicanism
admits while democracy forbids all inequalities
of condition, that is rcconcilable with slavery
while democracy alone, Of all the forms of Gov
eminent, prohibits it totally All this is easily
set in very clear light; and as the error,
nevertheless, of confoundirg together as identi
nl.l,,s al
universal in this country, we will take an early
occasion to set forth what alone can be held in
this matter on any grounds Of either authority
or reason No two forms of government are
more different than these.
