principle upon which it is founded Yet in the face of
such fact at once irresistible and clear to all candid

COMPLIMENT TO HON. MIR. KERR, OF NORTH

The support by Mr. Kerr Of the Kansas bill at the late
session Congress seems to be warmly approved by wings
and democrats in his district The evidence of this is fur
nshed by the fact that the citizens Of Caswe county, with
out distinction of parry have rendered TO him the comp
mcnt of public dinner in testimony of their appreciation
of his course the Nebraska question Mr. Kerr accepts
the invitation and in his letter ndicates the Nebraska

A FACT OPPOSED TO A FALsEHoOD.

The great advantage which the democratic party has
over all other organizations consists in the fact that it
advocates great without being able to
refer the whole world to and existing evidences of
Its eminent capacity TO control and TO conduct the admin
jsration of public affairs The democratic party
demands the popular confidence without being able to
offer eminent securities and guarantees for II faces

challenges scrutiny into its past history Scoring all the
destinations OF temporary triumph purchased by yielding to
s and relying alone upon the TRUTH it awaits the result
of the operation of principle with much certainty tho
arthmetcan awaits the inevitable sequel his calculations
Hence is that in defeat the democracy may be said
to be only resting victories inasmuch as democratic
always assaed by demagogues who neither
understand the people read the lessons of history
Alright and whose predictions always OF being de-
feaed by results When for instance, pick up a news
