Democracy vs.. Mhigserx.


We have never seen the distinction bel zen the
democratic and wing parties forcbly and beau.
tifaly drawn, than in the following extract from
speech delivered BY tina, able champion Of the peoples
rights, Capt. George f. Pugh, Of Hamilton county,
the present Attorney General Of Ohio. As an orator.
Mr. 7. has few equals and the position he has alrca-
dy attained being not yet thirty years of age, and
having been elected to the post he now occupies by
over thirty thousand majority, is incontestble evil
dence that his merit his devotion to the principles of
his party and his anscendant talents are appreciated
by those who know him; and we shall be much sur
prsed if the position he has already attained is not
merely stepping stone to more extended greatness,
and To much higher honors. When hostilities broke
out between the United States and Mexico, Captain
Pugh volunteered private, but his comrades i'm
,nediatey elected him their Captain. After reaching
Mexico, the Argus eye Of that brave soldier and I'M
swerving republican, Gen Joe. Lane, discovered in
him the dawninys of true greatness and Immediately
rendered him office in bis sta-which position he
occupied until the cessation Of hostilies when he
turned home. The rights Of his party having been
set at defiance by the Apportionment bill passed by
the wings the year previous in dividing Hamilton
county, and The city of Cincinnati, Tor Legislative
purposes in violation OF the Constitution Of the State
the dem cracy Of that county entrusted the maintain
ance Of their rights to the keeping Of their youthful
champion. The history Of the "revoluion" is part
Of III, political history of the country aud suffice it
Tor 10 say that through the un,irng exertions OF
George E. Pogh. mainly, the infamous Appor,onmen,
bill was repealed, and Hamilton county restored to
her rights. But to the extract:
''Om principle, Mr.. Chairman, the Democratic
principle, must AN favor as 1t Is understood 1T is
principle OF humanity, beuevolence and love. IL
seeks ID alleviate human suiierings, To build up the
broken hearted, and to make us love brother as
ourseh Ii labors 10 puff the affections and cxpei
from the human heart that selGShness which is the
source Of such innumerable woes. Il teaches with
out ceasns the loy principles Of unadultelated phi.
losophy, IN order that may be all that the cre;,-
tuIe should be, who is made after Gods ina &c.
IL Is principle OF renovation and change, with
less effort TOT the happiness OF man, and bears the
same relation 10 The moral that the christian rrnci-
pie does TO The religious world. The principles al
both are love, for both ceh the happiness of The
one seeks 90 perfect the character Of man here bel
the other in addition thereto, seeks to make him ct
company Tor the society Of just made pei feet. In
fact the ouiy difference between these vital and glori-
principles is, that is of Earth and the other
81 Heaven. Our principle teaches that all mankind
are tree and equal Impress this doctrine upon the
heart and We must love brother as our~elf.
''Ihe foe OF the Democratic principle, is the Arts
tocratic principle. What are Ills characieristics!-
Pride, vain glory and ambition 1t turns with oath-
ing and disgust from the laboring MANY 1t consid-
| ers the masses only lit for hewcrs of wood and
drawers OF water Such Is the principle that regu-
lates the conduct of large proportion Of our Wing
adve.saries.
/ SIS it then wonderful, Mr.. Chairman, that our
principles should have borne Us on, cpnquerine and
conquer! Is it wonderful that under its rule We
should have determined 10 battle unti the A,isto-
critic principle whiggef,, shall have become cx-
iinctl"
/ FROM OREooS.-The advces are to the LIST O
June. Gov. Lane had taken the oath of Office as
Governorof the Territory, but resigned immcdatel,
atterward, and accepted the Democratic nomination
for Congress. Judge A. A. Skinner, Indian agent
had been nominated BY the "People's party" but it
WAS generally expected tina. Lane would be success
fui.
| The pilots had discovered another new channel a;
the mouth Of the Columbia, with three iathoms wa
ter at high tide.
| The Oregon Times says:
"Capt. Alvord of the Army, writes from, the
Dalles of the Columbia that there is much excite
meut among oi the tribes on the frontier grow
ing out OF the approach OF the whites and the failure
of the treaties negotiated with the Indians West OF
the Cascade Mountains
lie therefore warns em grants not to settle in the
iRdida country Of the Territories of Oregon and
Washington, "a the Indian tile has not vet been ex-
tinguished by treaty. Many Of these Indian tribes
he says, have behaved well toward all whites as
to merit the most just and considerable treatment
Judge Lancaster has been nominated as candidate
for delegate 10 Congress in the new Territory ct
Washington.
owe have no idea that the "Ccntral American
Bank, any other concern Of the kind, can get d
charter next winter. - lnnesotian.
But to PUT the matter beyond all cav, we again
urge friends in all the democratic districts of the
Territory, return no man who Is not radical on this
point, 10 the next Legislature. We do not believe
that any bank can get charter. long as we have
such radical democrat as Gov. German at the
head # affairs in Minnesota. We are aware that a
large majority cf party in the Territory are op-
posed to hanks Of issue, and We wish the attempt to
get charter for any such s'instuion,' ripped in
the hud'' by those whom the people select as their
Representatives.. Our Territory is vet in It's infancy
It's character abroad is cn,iabe and as much as from
any cause, for the that her business men,
her farmers, her mechanics, aud her laboring men
can get the hard for value rendered. and We believe it
duty to urge the democracy TO send no man to the
Legislature who is not opposed, from principle, the
creation Of souess corporations. 7
More SMIrHERY.-Another Of that famous fam
'ly called Smith, has started swiudiing banking
concern at St. Anthony, Minnesota. The notes are
signed by J. II. bert, President, and w ID. L.
Brown, Cashier. The Mnnesoian (whig) exposes
the bare-f,ced faud IN no measured terms The
Bank is called after the Merchants and Mechanics
whom it viii surely ruin if they silly enough to
give it a chance.
The above extract cory from the Dubuque
Herald. The Herald nigh, have added that every
paper in the Territory was ''down On this fraudulent
concern" and that they unwilling to see their
readers robbed, without warning them OF impending
danger, in time.
