Cardinal Points Of Democratic Faith

1. State rights, as containing the doctrine
Of popular sovereignty, and exenplifed in
those measures which leave the people of a
state or territory to control their own institu
tions and 10 enact their own laws.
2. Opposition TO sectional politics of every
name and nature. whether Aboiitionism OF free
soilism.
3. A defence Of religious freedom. as laid
down in the constitution, and protection to al
who are ready to become citizens Of this coun-
ry, and who, while they escape from the des
potsm of the Old World, embrace and defend
tie freedom of our institutions.
4. Opposition to all sumptuary laws,
which invade the rights Of prof. erty. curtaii
personal liberty, aud obslruct the progress of
society in its work of moral elevation.
Let the democratic party enter the contest
with these principles, and their triumph is as
inevitable as it is that order comes out of cha.
os. The confusion party is every day prepar.
ing the way for that reaction which will Fad
thousands tojoin rally for the sound doc
trines OF democratic freedom.-Sa!em Adyer.

Passage Of Mr.. CobSs Graduation bill.

The passage through both houses of the bill
of Mr. Cobb, Of Alabama, to graduate the
prices of the public lands. and to confine the
benefits of the Measure to actual settlers, VIII
be Justly regarded as one of the most impor-
tant measures of the season. 1t embraces
fully one of the prominent features Of M.
Hunters bill, which was lost IN the House,
whilst it shows an appreciation OF the claims
of actual settlers which is in accordance with
the popular sentiment. Graduation. and the
security Of the rights Of pioneer settlers on the
public lands, have long been prominent objects
with many leading democratic statesmen. -
he has succeeded in securing the passage of
a bill which effects both Of these objects.
The scale of graduation enacted By the Law
is as follows: All lands which have been in
market for ten years or upwards shall be sub
ject to entry at one dollar per acre; fifteen
years and upwards, at seventy five cents;
twenty years and upwards. at fifty cents;
twenty Eve years and upwards, twenty five
cents; and thirty years and upwards, at twelve
and half cents per acre. Upon every reduc-
tion the occupant and settler to have the right
Of presumption at such graduation prices until
within thirty days preceding the mex: gradua-
ton, but not to interfere with any right which
has heretofore accrued to actual settlers -
Any person applying 10 enter any Of the afore.

he or she enters the same for his or her own
use, and for the purpose Of. actual settlement

has not acquired from the United States under
