aellanenus Nefus,
True ana Spurious Democracy,

We have already recorded Governor
Pollock's approval of an act passed BY the
late Pennsylvania legislature, providing
for the sale of the main line of the pub
lie works OF Pennsylvania for sum not
less than S8,5O0,0O0. II, as is clearly
contemplated by the law, the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company makes the pur-
chase, the price stipulated is 100000,
the whole amount to be paid in the FIVE
per cent, bonds of the company. vi
these bonds, 100000 will fall due, July
81 st, 1853, aud 100000 annually till
1890, when 81, 100000 will fall due, and
the same sum yearly until the whole is
paid. The company and its connections
are released from the payment Of all 9th
er taxes or duties on its capital stock,
bonds, dividends or other property, ex-
cept for city, borough, county, township
and school purposes. The purchaser of
the works will have perpetual corporate
succession, but the legislature may re-
woke the privileges granted for abuse of
them, a judicial decree of abuse being
previously had, and full compensation be-
ing made to the stockholders if the state
decide to resume the franchises.
Such disposition Of the main line of
the public works seems to be in harmony
with that truly democratic policy which
insists on simplifying and reducing, as
far as practicable, the functions of gov
ernment, and relieving it Of responsible
ties which can only be properly discharg-
ed by private hands; policy as much
demanded by the interests of the state as
of Individual citizens, as the corruption
and mismanagement of the canals belong
ing to our own state have, in times past,
abundantly shown. Nothing can be
more incompatible with pure and eco
nomical administration of public affairs
than to bestow on the officers of the gov
ernment the power Of rewarding numer-
Gus political dependents with the remu-
nerative positions which are usually in
the gift of railroad or canal corporations.
The distribution Of ordinary political
spoils is bad enough, without the addi-
tion of new incentives to political degen-
eracy.
The course Of the late Pennsylvania
legislature, Biting rid of dangerous
and an unproftable circumference to the
state, appears to us, as we have said, a
return to the true democratic policy
But we observe that the Washington
Union, the organ of Mr. Buchanan, has
taken a stand directly adverse to it, and
proposes to rally its followers in the CON-
ing state election under the banner of
'rRepeal" /" This is but another sign Of
the recent political revolution, indicating
that in Pennsylvania at least, the party
in opposition, now headed by David vii
mot, as well in its state as It's national
platform, is more democratic than the So
called democrats themselyes.-New YORK.

There is false necessity with which
Fe continually surround ourselves re-
straint of conventional forms Under this
influence men and women check their best
impulses, and suppress their highest
thoughts. Each longs for free commu-
nication with other souls, but dares not
give utterance to his yearnings What
hinders? The fear of what Mrs Somebody
will say; or the frown Of some sect; or the
anathema of some synod; or the fashion
clique; or the laugh Of some club; or the
misrepresentation of some political party
Thou art afraid of thy neighbor, and know
est not that he is equally afraid of thee.
He has bound thy hands, and thou hast
fettered his feet. 1t were wiser for both
to snap the imaginary bond, and walk on
ward unshackled.
What is there of joyful freedom in our
social intercourse? We wish to enjoy our
selves and take away all his freedom,
while we destroy our own. If the host
wishes to ride or walk, he dare not, lest
it should seem impolite to the guest. So
they remain slaves, and feel it a relief to
part company. A few individuals, most
ly in foreign lands, arrange this matter
with wiser wisdom.
If a visitor arrive, they say, I am very
busy to-day; if you want to work, the men
are raking hay in the field; if you want to
romp, the children are at play in the court;
if you want to read to me, [ can be with
you at such an hour. Go where you
please, and, while you are here, do as you
please.
