wObcy or Resign

Some years ago a darling doctrine Of the
patent Democracy was that representative
should ojey his constituency or resign hs
seit. Gen. Cdss too. embraced this doc
trine m st 'ondlv, and sent 50 far os 10 de-
clare, when called upon 10 vote FOR the Will
mo, Proy!so by the NJ chigSn Legislature that
when the time came Tor the vote he would
resign. Yeas have passed, br inging many
changes changes RE with great interests
~ the Democrdcy-and these changes have
somewhat changed the voice of the great pa
tent Democratic party Of these United S'ales.
Even the 'murlaginous' Cuss now repudiates
the "obcy or resign" doctrine, unl declares
that he vii; neither obey the voice of his
masters nor resign his seat. Now Whist arc
we roor outsiders to think of this direct re-
pudia,on Of so great principle! Time was
when the opponents Of TIE Democracy were
characterized as political hcretics,to be burn
ed at the stake, because they ridicueJ this
principle Why this change--whencc this
great'revolu,ion o! the political wheel! j.
it--caG it be the change preceding diSsolu-
ton! Verify, it looks very strongly tho,
way.
But we crave pardon Of our neghbor foi
the above remarks. as it just occurs to US ,hst
he got contemporary" to say that it wa'
the Gu tom Of the Democr acy TO change ,hc
principles whenever it was necessary. w,
will no longer wonder, then, why SO yer,
demagosical doctrine was dropped By th
democracy. II is because it has done ii
work-and it now lies in the last sad restin,
place ofdelunct Democratic humbugs, ,her
tosrerose until the trump Of some later ia.
shall awake it for another campaign for pat
eni Democracy.

greatly .rocbled with long obituary notices,
often SO long and 20 numerous that our COL

number of our readers left out. We know
it is gratifying to the friends Of the departed
to see u leEgthy notice Of their deceased re-
lnlive in print, and we feel that ,hey will be
willing to remunerate us for publishing It,
Not once IN hundred times are zoe inter.

Good God what swimmer - exclaim.
ed the men. who marked the speed of the
splendid animal. The shark will have
one or both of them. if We don's do our
bes: -
The scene was of short duration. Ere
the boat could overtake the dog, the enor-
nous shark had arrived within three oars
length of the Captain, and suddenly turned
over on his back, preparatory to darting OH
the sinking man. and receiving him in his
vast jaws which now displayed their rows
Of long, triangular teeth
The wild shrek Of the Captain announc-
ed that the crisis had come But now Ma
poieon seeming inspired with increased
strength, had also arrived, and with fierce
howl leaped upon the cleaning belly OF
the shark. and buried his teeth in the mon
ster's flesh. while the boat swiftly neared
them.
Saved if we are half as smart as that
dog cried the mate, as all saw the vora-
eious monster shudder in the sea, and smart
ing with pain, turn over again, the dog re.
taining his hold and becoming subm erged IN
the water
1T this juncture the boat rrived and
Lancaster, his knife in his teeth. plunged in
to the water where also the captain had now
sunk from view
But few moments had elapsed before
the dog arose to the surface. and soon after
Lancaster with the insensible form of the
captain.
Pull them in and gise them an oar -
cried the mate ''for that fellow is preparing
for another launch"
His orders were obeyed, and the second
onset OF the marine monster was foiled by
the mate splashng water in his eyes, as he
came again, and but few seconds too late
to snap Of the captains legs. as his body
was drawn into the boat
Fooled the second time, the shark passed
the boat, plunged. and was seen no more,
but left track of blood on the surface of
the water, token of the severity of the
wound from Napoleon.
The boat was now pulled towards the
brig, and not many hours elapsed before the
Captain was on deck again, feeble from his
efforts, but able to appreciate the services of
our canine hero. and most bitterly to lament
his Own cruel &c. which had mutilated him
forever
Il would give my righ, arm, he exclaim-
ed. as he patted the Newfoundland who
stood by his side, ''if could only repair the
injury | have done that splendid fellow
Lancaster. you are now avenged, and so is
he. and most christian vengeance it is, tho
1t win be a source of grief to me as long AS
live"
