What they sas and what they Do.

Andrew johnson once proposed to
divide rs far as practicable, in laying
off Congressional districts, the num-
Der Of free white voters in the State
by the number of members of Con-
gress to which ne are entitled by the
constitution. This allows every white
voter in the State equal representa-
ton in Congress, and is called the
white basis. The whig leaders gen.
orally, following in the wake of Gus
Ia vus A. Henry, cry out against this
measure as favorable to abohtionism,
and say they are for laying off con-
gressional districts on the Federal
basis, which will ALLOW in the same
State, one man with five negroes the
same representation in Congress as
four white men. This is what they
say. But are they sincere in what
they say? What proof have they
lgiven Of their sincerity? The last
Legislature passed bill framed by
Gustivus A. Henry himself, laying
off the State into Congressional Dis
tricts. Surely lie this bill we may
expect to find a demonstration, an
iexemplifc cation of. whig principles.
/ If the wing party was sincere in
advocating the Federal basis, which
includes ia its calculation three fifths
Of the negroes, we might expect to
find in this apportionment bill a per-
feet disqualification of it. In the
FIRST congressional district there is
an excess of population Of nearly
seven thousand In the fifth, sew
enth, sand ninth, there is a def
cheney Of upwards OF eight thousand
in each. In the second district there
is deficiency Of upwa rds of eigh-
teen thousand, and in the fourth u
deficiency Of eleven thousand. This
apportionment bill was the deliberate
work of Maj. Henry and the wing
leaders Of Tennessee. They had
full time to make it to their notion.
Is it in accordance with the Federal
basis? We admit that ii is formed
on n basis. But is that basis the
4 Federal basis for which they profess
SO much regard? We affirm that it
is not, and dare any man to the proof
What then becomes of Mai. Henry's
pretended veneration for the Federal
basis? Mur. News.

Great Head of the church sanctify
this bereavement to the good of his

cratic friends in til Q country doing?''
and we re-echo tn e question. Are
they taking PROF per interest in the

ALTON to succeed? If SO, we feel con
Ifident of success. If not, then are
we doomed to a di$graceful Waterloo
defeat. We cannot too strongly urge
upon our friends tue necessity o
IMMEDIATEand ENERGETIC action. Our
foes are wide awake. and are using
every means to bring outa full Whig
vote for their candidates. Shall VIZ
be behind them? Shall we calmly
witness the havoc they will make in
our ranks, without an effort to coun.
teract it? Or, shall we boldly ant
valiantly meet them at every point,
obstlnately contestlng every inch o

on the Democratic Standard

it appears, u temporary advance to
the French funds; ana, taking the
BouFse as the interpreter Of this
Turkish question, there is yet loop
hole for COMPROMISE between the
Cat and tie Sultan. Renewed eG.
forts on all sides will doubles be
made to effect it; but, in the mean
time, the quarrel has been pushed to
that extremity in which it is easier to
plum ge forward than to recede. The
TurK IS md the Russians are mutually
inaamed to the lighting point, and
ut So ch crisis, whilea single spark
may light up all Europe in general
blaze of war, the arguments Of pru-
dence and sound discretion are too
apt to be thrown away on both sides.
There may yet be pacific settle
meEt or truce on this poliliCo-relig-
ious issue between the Turk and the
Russian; but it would scarcely be
surprising if the next steamer should
bring Us the intelligence of a gener-
al movement of the Russian forces
across the Turkish boundaries. The
issues involved comprehend the ul-
timatum Of peace or war for the
whole continent of Europe.

Thomas Jefferson, the apostle of
American Democracy, in let tier to
John Taylor, Of Caroline, dat ed the
2Sth of May, 1916, wrote as fol-
lows:
"In the General Government the
ii Ouse Of Representatives is mainly
republican; the Senate scarcely not at
sall, as not elected By the people direct
iy, and so long secured even against
those who do elect them; the Exc
cutiye more republican than the
Sena tie, from its shorter term, its
election by the people, in practice,
(for they vote for A only on IN as
surance that he will vote for b and
because, IN practice also, principle
of rotation seems to be in course
of establishment; the Judiciary indie
pendent Of the nation, their Co reion
by impeachment being found nuga-
tory.
| IF then, the control Of the peo-
| pie over the organs of their govern
mept be the measure Of its republic
canism, and confess / know no 9TH
ier measure, it must be agreed that
our government has much less of
Rcpublicanism than ought TO have
been expected; in other words, that
the people have less regular control
over their agents, than their rights
and their interest req9ire.'
In 1922, Thomas Jefferson, in the
very spirit which now aniInates ami
mates Andrew Johnson, wrote to
William T. Barry, as follows:
ave already see tie power, in stall-
! ed for life, responsible to no aui hori>
ty, (for impeachment is not Q ven u
scare crow,) advancing with Il noise
less and Steady pace 70 the great OBJ
ject Of consolidation. Tile founda-
tons are already deeply laid by their
decisio ions, for decentralization OF con-
stitutional State rights, and the re-
moyal of every chec6, every counter
poise to the ingulphing power OF
which the mselYes are to make q SOW
ereigr pa rt.AIf ever this ast coun-
, try is brought under single govern
lment, it yill be one of the most ex'
itensive co Eruption, indifferent and in
!. capable Of wholesome care over 50
wide spread surface. This will not
be borne, and you will have To choose
between I'd Information aud revolution
! If | know the spirit Of this country,
the one d r the other is Inevitable.
Before the c.nker is become invete-
rate. before it'd venom has reached
SO much di the body polite as to
get beyond control, remedy should
be applied. Let the future APPOINT
menls of j Judges be for four or six
wears, and renewable by the Presi-
dent and S enate. This will bring
their condu ct, at regular periods, I'M
der revision and probation, and may
keep them in cquipoise between the
general and special governments
We have erred in this point, BY cop
wing England, where certainly 1t is a
good thing to have the judges indie
pendent Of the King But we have
omitted to copy their caution 81 so,
which makes judge removable on
address Of both legislative Houses.
That there should be public func-
tionaries independent Of The nation,
whatever may be their demerit, is
solecism in i republic, of the first
