THE INCoRRIGIBLE DEMOCRACY.

The rights Of muorities have constituted fruitful
theme for many years but the first time that mi
nory has proved to be powerful than majority is
shown by the confessions of the opposition papers in
regard the democrats in the House of Representatives
That minority only controls the majority in the hall
but out of it. II goes into and adopts platform
it lettering the majority if it votes for single cand
date the House it outages the majority if it speaks
it the proceedings of the House, if it does not
speak it evidence of despoc confidence in its discp
line There never minority responsible for SO
many things and capable Of 50 many things
The best satire on this state of affairs that we have
lately contained in the following proceedings Of
meeting held at Lewstown Illinois, the evening of the
9Th Of January, which copy from the Fulton (nois
