THE PRINCIPLES OF THE DEMOCRA.
CY-WHAT ARE THEY?

"If the principles of the Democratic party
shall still animate the policy of the Admins
traiion, inspire the people Of the United
States, and direct the Legislation OF the coun-
Try, who can despair of the ultimate guaran-
tees of our rghtsl"-Mobils Register.
What these boosted principles of the De-
mocratic party are we hope the Mobile Reg
lister, or some other organ, will please inform
the public. If the thing is in existence, sure
ly some one can give an idea of its form,
shape, color and dimensions. We know n
man who will venture wager that II three
Democrats are met on the highway, or Sc
lected unfortunately from a crowd, the
:hree will differ on every question which now
agitates, or has agitated the country for
years. and yet these three men will stand side
by side with the Democracy at the ballot
box. We know another man who will bet
that three Democrats, whose sentiments agree
on some one principle, one day, on the next,
can be induced by wire working Squire,
Captain or party Professor in the neghbor+
hood, to vote exactly contrary to their own
convictions. This is Democracy, and these
are its fruits, and these, too, are the men who
can talk as wise as Soloman, and rs brave as
Julius Cesar, about the glores of freedom,
the guarantee of their rights, and the safety,
honor and prosperity of their country!
The truth is, Democracy is very much like
Will Honeycomb's experience of women.-
Will says he knows as much about the sex
as any man, and the most he knows is, that
the women are not to be known! So with
Democracy, ii jumps Jim Crow so often, and
assumes SO many different shapes, that even
in swearing TO its indentity the chances
would be that you were deceived. Like some
gaping greeny at Everett's exhibition, who
would kiss the book that he saw tow cram
med down the magcian's throat and come
out the most beautiful ribbon, so the blind
idolators at the Democratic altar would see
the most loathsome and discordant ingred-
ents, such as the

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-Away among the
Alleghonies there is n spring, so small that u

dry. 1t steals its unobtrusive way among the
hills, till it spreads out into the beautiful
Ohio. Thence it stretches away II thousand
miles, having on its banks more than hun
dred villages and Cities and many thousand
cultivated farms and bearing on its bosom
more than half thousand steamboats,. Then
joining the Mississippi, il stretches away and
away some twelve hundred miles more, till it
falls into the great emblem of eternity. 1t is
one of the great tributaries of the ocean,
which, obedent only to God, shall roll and
roar till the angel, with one foot on the sea
and the other on the land, shall lift up his
hand 20 heaven, and swear that time shall be
no longer So with moral influence. 1t is a

Early County, June 1s, 1857,

w The London Illustrated News, says
that Miss Dix, of Boston u. s., who has taken
so admirable part in forcing the state of the
Scotch Iunatcs upon public notice, appears
to be person of extraordinary devotion to
her sense of duty. So feeble in body that
she can hardly walk half n mile, she has trav-
eled over the whole of the United States, and
induced nineteen of the local legislatures TO
erect and endow State lunatc asvums. She
has also extended her influence to the erec-
ton Of lighthouses and the establishment of
liie.boats on many parts of the American
coast. When convinced Of the horrible treat
nent of the mad in Scotland, and furnished
with letters TO the Duke Of Argyle and one
or two Others of the Ministry, she started
from London, drove direct from the railway
station to their residences, and gained their
promise of the commission of inquiry before
she secured lodging or changed her dress.

AHoTHER.-We have again TO record nos
lice of the downfall ola political preacher in
Ohio. At recent term of the court in Car
roll county, Rev. Joseph Barclay was found
guilty of seduction and breach of promise of
marriage to Elizabeth Sharp, and mulcted in
damages to the value of $4,000. The Stark
county Democrat says:
"1he defendant was preacher Of the
Covenanter or Seceder faith, and was one of
the leading Fremonl@Kansas shrieking
preachers of Carroll county. The evidence
on the trial showed that for some time he
had been paying his addresses to Miss Sharp,
an accomplished and highly respectable
young woman Of the country, that he prom
ised to marry her, and then with the hellish
Vaccinations Of n fend. but shielded with the
livery Of Heaven, he sci about his work Of
destruction, and by prayers and great pro-
fessiOns Of righteousness, coupled with his
promise of marriage, he succeeded in seduc-
ing the young girl from the path of virtue.
and accomplished her ruin and deserted her"

ON THE PRINCIPLE OF DISTRlBU.
TION.
10 Presiden. Jefferson's second inaugural
Message, March the 4th, 1906, he says.
The remaining revenue on the consump-
ton of foreign articles is paid cheerfully by
those who can afford TO add foreign Injuries
to domestic cotnfurts, being collected on our
seaboards and frontiers only, and being in
corporated into the transactions of our mer.
camille citizens. It may be the pride and
pleasure Of an American to ask what farmer,
&c, &C., ever sees tax-gaiherer! These
contributions enable US to support the cur
rent expenses Of the government, to fulfil
contracts with foreign nations, &c, and to
apply such surplus to our debts as place Mt
u short distance their FINAL redemAon, and
that redemption once effected, the revenue
thereby liberated may, by just separation,
be applied in time of peace to rivers, canals,
roads, arts, mannfaciofies, education, and
other gr~nt objects 10 each State. See NJ.
Vol. /. p. 1874.
President Jackson, following out the same
principle, says in his second Message, Dec. Z,
1880:
"Thus viewing the subject I have hereto
fore felt it my duty TO recommend some plan
to be adopted for the distribution of the sur
plus funds which may at any time remain in
the treasury after the national debt shall have
been paid, among the several States in pro
portion to their number of representatives,
to be applied by them to objects Of internal
improvements" See NJ. Vol. 2, Z. TAI.
And again in his Message of Dec. 6, 1886,
he says:
"The surplus revenue in the Treasury from
all sources is Sal ,723,959, and that that
amount, except $5,0OO,OOO, is transferred to
the several States. See NJ. Vol. 2, p. 924.
