sumo. The position of the Wings who oP-I
pose the Administration because of its
measures. is entitled to our respect. Their
opposition challenges our respect, because.
it is fair 10 presume that it is based upon
principle. But those politicians claiming
to be Democrats, who have arrayed them
selves against the President, because the
Executive patronage has not been dispens-
ed in manner to crafty their ambition
or personal animosities. have assumed an
attitude which merits the scorn and ridi-
cule of honorable men Of both parties.-
The true Democrat regards the ascenden.
ey of his principles as the chiefend and
aim Of the organization ofhis party. The
time server and camp-follower in politics
looks upon governments and party organ
izations as instituted for the qualification
Of his mercenary ambition. The true in
terests and dignity OF the Democratic party
will be advanced when it is relieved ol
such excrescences.

We shall publish the action of the Board
on the valuation Of the several counties as

The Ohio Stale Democrat says: From

President Pierce at Church.

A correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Presbyterian gives descriptions of Pres
ident Pierce at church, a few Sabbaths
since, which will be recognized as strictly
true, not only as to the particular Sabbath
referred to, but of every Sabbath, by a
large number cf citizens Of Washington.
We copy the letter, that our readers abroad
may know the personal habits Of the Chief
Magistrate, and that they may know how
to appreciate the late calumnies upon his
moral character. The letter runs as fol-
lows:-Union.

HoRR1BLE.-We heard the particulars
on Saturday Of one of the most horrible
affrays which has occurred in the South
for number of years and which recalls
all those tragedies enacted by the desPer-
ADDE'S OF the primitive time. AS near as
we could learn them, the circumstances
are as follows: While the steamer Dres-
den wns at Helena on Thursday night
last, a woman with her four children were
sitting around the stove in the engine room
when lot of lrlshmen attempted to drive
them away, when she appealed 10 the
bystanders to assist her as she was alone
and unprotected. A lion hearted Ken
-tuckian. Immediately stepped forward to
her protection, when ne was attacked by
the lrishmen and general fight ensued.
Pistols and knives were used, and the
struck and shot indiscriminate-
|ly. The scene is represented as being
one of the most bloody and desperate
struggles ever Witnessed. So soon as the
smoke OF battle had cleared away suffi-
cient to ascertain the result, it was discov.
cred that three Irishmen. and women
who was lying in berth near by. had
been killed The Kentuckian was hor-
ribly mutilated; being cut to pieces by
the weapons in the hands of the Irishmen.
We did not learn the names OF any of the
parties. The affair created great excite
ment at Helena, where the Kentuckian
was left on the wharf boat.--Memphis En-.

The Public Domain.

In the Senate of the U. States, Messrs
Gwin. Jones, and Chase, have Civ
en- notice thai they will introduce bills Civ
ing farm Of $50 acres of pubic land to
every actual settler. This measure, it is
to be hoped, will meet the appreciation OF
sufficient number of statesmen to secure
its adoption. There is no reason why the
actual settler, who occupies the soil for the
purpose Of improving ii, and producing
subsistence for himself and his fellow men.
shoalG not inherit it as his own, as freely
as the air he bsea,hes. Our Declaration
Of Independence AYERS that all men shall
enjoy .'lije, liberty, and the pursuit Of hap.
piness, but were we to interpret it so
strictly that it would deny to US the means
of living, it would be an idle phrase, and
worse than useless. "Nalural liberty con-
sisis properly in power Of acting as one
thinks fit, without any restraint, or con-
troll, unless by the law of nature" Polit-
ical or .'civil liberty, is no other than ma
tural liberty, so far restrained by human
laws, (and no farther,) as is necessary
and expedent for the good of the pub
lic.'' There is no principle of right that
denies TO the actual settler upon pub
lie lands, the right to use them as his own.
He is free to enter and enjoy them. unless
restrained by an arbitrary law, which for
bids without cause. The right to live
implies the right 10 enjoy the means oflife.

| that life, as the water he drinks or the air
