Of 1925 and 1850 being restored, there will not

by the frown Of an indignant nation, made po-

And there will end the career Of those gen.

t,selaee of democracy Of tho country, assembled
that of Mr. Calhoun and his proseytes, who

party. They sunk, under the universal conyic-
ton that their zeal for state rights was an ardent
passion 10 reach political power, at the hazard OF
Distinguishing in the blood Of the people the
wise and free institutions it had cost SO much to

The will Of these, their Representatives, who have
act UP a test which must ever exclude Massachu-
chusetts, Vermont and Rhode Island from its
ranks; who have bartered away rights secured
10 them all by compacts-will soon learn that
democracy does not reside in the organization OF
Iihfrigners, but in the mass of the people.
tits the glory Of our great Republic, that its
democracy springs up from the soil and flourish
o in the fresh air of our widespread country;
and that its rich harrests, imparting health
strength and spirit to our whole system, is gath
cred annually at the polls The democracy which
is bred in caucuses and cabinets is n sort of hot
bed species--suited to the taste of epicurean pol
iticians, whose appetites are their principles.
lncumbents and expectants of Offices and digni
ties claim u sort of patent right in the machine
| Of government to create democracy adapted to
their purposes. Their innovations in the ma
chinery are contrvanccs to renew their privile
ges for new terms and the people are the subjects
who are to be used up in tito pay tribute 70,
this privilege and take pride in the skill of the

The telegraph wires and the Cincinnati Con
vention are to bring all the mastery combina
lions Of the Administration in contact with the
masses at the appointed time. But, will the
wires work Undoubtedly the people, far and
wide, viii have their instructions from the ope
ators; but the response will probably be thunder
bolt to those who have violated their rights
spurned their circumstances, and, as a conse
quence, have arrayed brothers from the different
sections of the Union to shed each others blood
| in civil war, on the plains of Kansas. Yours res,
pectfully, f. p. BLAIR
