THE BELMONT CHRONICLE,
External hostility to every form of tyre
amy over the mind of Man."
Thursday Morning, Feb. Is, 1856.
MMhnt,s in a Nnme.r

No doubt our neighbor repudates that
beautiful sentiment of the Bard of Avon, that
ga rose by any other name would smell as
sweet" Call it deg fennel, and TO him all
its fragr uncc leaves it at once. But for
once we beg leave TO differ. He snys, or
gets "a cotemporary" to say for him, that
the Democratic party has frequently changed
its principles, though its name remains un-
changed, while on the other hand, the Wing
party has passed through the world under
the varied names OF Federal s." "Nation.
al Republicans" ""An,. .Masons," abolition.
ists," ""Whig," "Union party" Know Moth.
ings," &c, ',but, no:w. thstandin2 the fre.
"quent change of name, it has always been
"true to the old Federaist principles, and Of
"bitter hatred to the Democratic party" Now
that is decidedly clever He gives the Whig
party credit for answering consistency; for
a rigid adherence 20 the principles that al
ways actuated them, and which have fred
the breasts of some o. earth's brightest sons
We hold that names signify nothing, and
to prove our position we refer the reader 10
the Democratic party Of to-day. What prin-
cipe OF Democracy uctuatcs them! What
sentiment do they hold in common with the
great founder Of Democracy! Where have
they displayed their adherence to that dar.
ling sentiment OF Jefferson, which he pro.
mulgated at all proper times-ihu: he had
''sworn upon the altar o. his country eternal
"hos'ili:y TO every form of tyranny over the
"mind or body of man' Does their policy
display any such sentiment! When anl
where have they recorded their love of the
people and their recognition of the right OF
man to govern himself! Apropos-Mr. Cass
} the great head and from: Of the Democratic
party said short time ago that if his mas.
trrs' the people, through the legislature o,
Michigan had presumed to instruct him how
TO vote he mould not obey. That is Democrat
i &c popular sovereignty. Well moy the Dem
ocratic party claim that there is power in Q
name, for all they can lay claim to now i.
their name.
Blame US not, oh friend, for changing on
party name! Chide us not for throwing
aside Il at " hich is no part of us, but ut til,
r same time retain ing all that is vital an,
anmat'ng. Is it not better, far better t,
: throw asdo all names and retain the vita
principles, TINA to kill the living tenets of
iai'h, and have naught but tho shadow Of
, name!

GENTLEMEN q IN CONGRESS.

Juniu the able and independent Wash.
ington correspondent of the Phtsburg Ga
zette writes as follows Of a scene which re-
Gently occurred on the floor of the House
while the same was in session. Yet eight
dollars day is cons dered too small q SUN
for these men, and they now ask for twelve.
"The proceedings of the House we're di-
versifed to-day BY fight between Mr.. Far
ley of Maine, ard ten. Lane of Oregon
Without the slightest provocation Lane call
co Mr. Farley liar, to which Mr.. Fa ley re-
sponded, in a voice hoarse with passion and
fury, YOU are a G Id id liar. The two
members, or rather the member apd the
delegate, then proceeded 10 adjust their diff
ference by regular set TO. I. is impossible
to say who had the advantage because they
were divided and obstructed by seats and
desks. thought Farley grazed the cheek
o, Lane ard left slight mark upon it, but
could not be certain Of il. Farley was excu-
sable because he had given no cause Of Of
fence, and was guilty OF no violence in deed
or act until carried beyond the bounds OF
self-conrol by the nsolence and ruiianism OF
Lane. Though very small OF stature it was
thought that Farley would have peppered his
antagonist had the sport been uninterrupted,
for he had handled his dexter and sinister
with remarkable skill, rapdity and power
The House took no notice of this interesting
little episode, and the business went on ex-
actly us if nothing Of the kind had occurred
Lane is the same person who has won sucl
universal regard by his elegant dissertations
in the House upon "scuIpin Ingins." Fo
such conduct as he wNs o.day guilty Of, ex
pulsion would be not too severe punish
ment.'

Professor Kennedy was formerly q resident

ever heard At one time he occupied the chair
Of Professor of Elocution in the Royal Bel

this city, he was much addicted to liquor, bu,
he met with a few warm-hearted Sonsof Tenn.

Join their Order, and ioi q few months he
was apparently reformed. But, aas he had

Rum IN THE AsCENpAET.-Probaby the
only manufacture in the Northern State S
whichis carried on proftahly ut the presen,
time is that ofrum, and this was never be-
fore so profitable as at the present tina. The
distilleries all through the cou ntry have or
ders for many weeks and months ahead, at
prices which yield them hundred per cent
profit. This state Of things has been occa-
stoned by the prohibition of the distilation of
grain in France und Boigium,whinh has au-
sed large orders from those countries for rum
from the United States. Every packet ship
from New York for France and Germany
now carries out oil the rum which can he
had in the market as part of her cargo. The
article sells at Al and 4S cents gallon, aud
the profit may easily be calculated when it is
known that the llolasses costs but little more
than 90 cents gallon, and 100 gallons of
molasses will make IS gallons of rum. A
large portion of the molasses in the Unite
States has just been bought up on French ac-
count. At Portland 1000 hhds. were pur-
chased last week for shipment to France.
