Common Schools of Bedford County for the ensuing
three years at salary OF $500 per annum. This
intelligence will be gratifying the people OF the
whole county, for, in additon TO the moral worth OF
Mr.. H., he possesses qualifications Of the very high

What IL Democracy

u DEMOCRACY represents the great
principles of progress. II is onward and out
ward in its movements II has a heart for ac-
tion and motives for world IT constitutes the
principle OF diffusion and is 10 humanity what
the centrifugal force is 10 revolving orb Of a
universe. What motion is 10 them, Democracy
is TO principle. II Is the soul OF action. 1t
conforms 10 the providence Of God. II has
confidence in man and an abiding reliance in
ms high destiny. II seeks the largest liberty,
the greatest good and the surest happiness. II
aims to build up the great interests OF the many,
to the least detrimpnt OF the irw. Ii relneH-
hers the past, without neglecting the present.
It establishes tbe present, without fearing 10
provide for thr future. 1t cares for the weak,
while il permits no injustice TO the strong. 1t
conqnrrs the oppressor, and prepares the subject
oftyranny for freedom. 1t melts the bigot's
heart TO meeknesS, and reconcIes his mind to
knowledge. II disppls the clond Of ignorance
and superstition, and prepares the people for IN
struciion and self-rpspect II adds wisdom to
legislation, aud improved judgment 10 govern
ment. 1t favors enterprise that yields to many,
and an industry that is permanent. 1t IS the
pioneer ofhumanity-the conseryator OF nations.
