Nth the dose, or you are an Aooil1lonlse
Yes sir, woolly Abolitionist!
Non-Intervention, Popular Sovereignty
VI Squatterology and Niggerology, all
mean then, the same thing-Sham De-
1uocracy, OF, that the majority shall do
;ust as they please soita The lees, property
md rights Of the minority We know
they contend the principle only applies to-
Territories, but we can see no difference
between the rights Of a people within a
Territory and the rights Of people compo-
sing neighborhood. 1t is the natural
right they contend for; not a right by vr-
tue Of any law previously given,-the nat
ural right for every man and community
of men to do as they please; make slaves,
get drunk, adopt a plurality Of wives, call
meetings and shoot down Abolitionists, DC.
Acknowledge the natural right in the one
case and the same follows of the other.
PRACTICAL OPERATIONS.
Under this new ISM of Young America
any man has the right, provided he can
get majority on his side, to take The life
of his neighbor or make him his slave, and
may compromise for either, provided the
neighbor viii s'pay over to the Captain
so or Is dollars, as we shall see from the
following example:
A few months since, says the Sonora,
California Bulletin, Mr.. Boileau, of Santa
Rosa, had some difficulty with the squat
ters of his neighborhood, who threatened
him with severe punishment unless he
left the place. Shortly after the Captain
of the Company posted the following no
tice on Mr.. Boileau's premises:
Santa Rosa, March 2, 1854.
0. BoILEAU-Some time ago you was
told to leave here, and we have had a
meeting at citizens house in Santa Ro-
sa, for the purpose of having you to leave
or give the company $75. If you will do
this by tomorrow you shall be troubled no
more; you can put the money in the cor
ner of your field opposite Balls house. If
you can't raise so much, $50 will do; if
you fail to do this you shall die before five
days, and if you comply with this you shall
never be hurt or interfered with any more.
CAPTAIN OF COMPANY.
Nor is this new Democratic doctrine con-
fined alone to the right Of the majority to
take the life, liberty, and property Of the
refuses to hear the minority,
by arresting free speech: it recently refu-
sed its godfather, Douglas, a hearing at
Chicago, and some years ago it stopped
the mouth of Mr.. CoDD1No, at Shullsburgh,
justifying his being robbed for speaking in
defense of Abolitionism. 1t is no respec-
ter of persons and works without rule: A.
mobs B. to-day, B. mobs A.,
because public opinion knows no time in
its changes, and always makes laws at the
adapted to the case at hand.---
To-day the world is upside down,-to-mor-
row it is rightside up, accidents excepted.
DEMOCRATIC CONDITIONS AND PENALTIES.
The newly compounded Democracy,
composed Of Squatterelogy and Niggerolo-
gy, knows no law but that of appeal to
public opinion; each particle composing
the new compound is allowed to under
stand the Constitution as it pleases, provi-
ded it is construed to mean miggers and
slavery. To all is accorded the right to
Judge the party sound, but not the right
to Judge it unsound Freedom of inquiry
is right so long as it don't lead to diversity
of opinion, which is as much as to recon-
mend a gunpowder that won't explode, or
a poison that won't kill. They argue, that,
according to Euclid, all who freely inquire
in mathematics, agree in conclusions,
therefore, all who freely inquire into De
moeracy, likewise agree in conclusions, be-
cause Democracy is as good as mathemat-
ies Thus, General Pierce exacts absolute
obedience from all bearing the name of
Democrat, especially from such as hold Of
flee under him. The penalty for disobe-
dience is, "leaye my Office sir, you hideous
Aboltionist." Vengeance Is mine, saith
the Lord; ''no, it is mine," saith General
Pierce How dare you think for yourself
and yet stand on my platform, says
Young America. Have / not power to
make one vessel to honor and another to
dishonor, and are you not the thing II
mades you shapeless mass of dough,-ao
and do my bidding, And so the douehfa-
ces went to work, constituted the Mineral
Point Democratic Platform and stood DIR
HoyT upon it for about the same purnose
that the lsraelites stuck the brazen calf nm
on pole.
