ssn.torearser,s .Naked Policy !"


One Of Mr.. Gartsr's Democratic Con-
stituents'' having effectually answered the
Senator's Lecomptoniau clsptrap, Mr.. Gar
ter takes up the quill, and defines his posi-
tion through the Red Bluff Beacon. We
extract the following:
my premises were that the question raised
by Mr. Douglas against the President was
not one Of principle, bat was question of
"naked policy" that had some evidence
that somo Democrats intended to abandon
Mr.. Buchanan and his Administration on
account of their differing with the Presi-
dent on this question of "naked policy" but
| concluded. from these grounds, that those
Democrats who should abandon the Presi-
dent. and oppose his administration on this
question of .naked policy" would have no
just democratic reasons for 30 doing and that
in consequence of such course. would soon
find themselves in the ranks of the Repub
licans, opposing the administration and the
Democratic party"
| What q Garter Astute, Leg islative
Garter! How You expose your own naked
ness How you Disgrace and misrepresent
a Democratic people. 1t is not Mr. Buchan-
an and his administration that the popular
Sovereignty Democracy are opposing but
the aforesaid "naked policy" in reference
to the admission of Kansas, with a Consti-
tuition which Congress interferes to amend,
and which is nevertheless, still repugnant
to the people Of that Territory. No one but
q "nakcd idiot" would assert that adherence
to the National Democratic Platform and
opposition to ''naked policy" of the ad.
ministration, would make them Republicans
The Democratic party is something more
than "naked policy" party. 1t is party
Of principle, and those who prostitute its
principles to "naked policy" are tho rscre-
ants arrayed in opposition to it, Our last
Democratic Convention re.aifirmcd the Gin.
natl Platform, and adopted a resolution in
viting accessions to the Democratic ranks
upon that doctrine. This platform removes
a sectional question from Congress, and
leaves it with those interested for decision.
It is this principle that the Democracy still
support in preference to n "naked policy"
that takes questions back into Congress, to
takc precedence over railroad bills and
other national legislation. Those who &C
cept of the invitation extended by our State
Convention, and aid in the triumph Of those

form, are National Democrats, and "noth-

of those principles is the triumph of free

Innocent Pleasures.

The Rev. DR.. Bellows, of New York,
in an excellent address on "Mirth," re-
marked -
For my part, say it in all solemnity,
l have become sincerely suspicious of the
piety of those who do not love pleasure
in any form. cannot trust the man that
never laughs; that is always sedate; that
has no apparent outlet for natural springs
Of sportiveness and gayety that are peren-
NAL in the human soul. know that Ma
ture takes her revenge on such violence.
I expect to find secret vices, malignant
sins, or horrid crimes springing up in this
hot-bed of confined cir and imprisoned
space; and, therefore, it gives me sim
cere moral qualification, anywhere and in
any community, to see innocent pleasures
and popular amusemsnts resisting the re.
ligious bigotry that frowns so unwisely
upon them. Anything is better thar
dark, dead, unhappy social life; prey Il
ennui and morbid excitement, which re-
suits from unmitigated puritanism, whose
second crop is usually unbridled license

MANHATTAN, K IT., Sept. 9th, 1858.
FRIEND BBows My DEAR SIR in
your issue of the 25th inst, you give the
resolutions and sayings of the Friends Of
Progress, at Twin Mound.
At present I haveno time or DISPOSE
ton to engage in controversy, and shall
not; but still I feel curious to know why
Humanity does not need law ?" A
Egk to not only guide US in the present
life, but one that viii throw its beams
on the Immortality beyond?
All the developments of science and of
art not only go to show that all matter is
governed by law, but that Humanity
man" is the most exquisite exhibition
Of infinite wisdom and Almighty power.
Blended in man we behold Deity and
dust matter and Spirit. The Eternal
with the perishabls. The Immortal
spirit within the narrow prison-house, out
of which it struggles to hold intercourse
with the material world.
All agree that matter the less is gov.
erned by law. Did God intend that
man should have no law to guide him,
but his imperfect deductions of reason
Did he leave his spiritual children on
earth and give them no rules aad light
to guide them Did he shut up in a
narrow and often very imperfect pris-
on-house, spiritual being with powers
and capacities that take hold on immor.
tality, and throw no revealed light or
his path
Am I told that reason is to be oul
guide? If so, nay treason teaches me that
Humanity needs revelation Of light or
things present and things to come. Tt
satisfy the perceptions and wants of tn.
immortal mind, reason demands q reve.
lation. Reason leads me to conclude
that the Creator cared as much for "Hu.
manity," his highest work, as for matter
the mere footstool of man. Matter, HI
guides by an memorable law, while with
His various revelations, made through
man, as he was moved by the "Holy
Ghost" He gradually unfolds the rules
duties and relations of humanity to thing
present and things to come. Churches
creeds, isms and religions may be tn,
work of men and may be overthrown. TIL,
scholastic dogmas of past ages, and ths
corruptions of man will be pruned from
the rules and truths of God, but Hi
word will live to guide his dependant
children, longing for light and immortali
ty, long after sceptical doctrine has ex-
hausted its poisonous arrows. Respectful
y yours. S. D. HOUSTON.

UuWritten:

Far down in the depths of the human
heart there is fountain of pure and hal
lowed feeling from which, at times, swell
up tide Of emotion which words are
powerless to express-which the soul
alone can appreciate. Full many hearts
overAowing with sublime thoughts and
holy imagining, need but the "pen Of FIRE"
to hold enraptured thousands in its spell.
The "thoughts that breathe" are there,
but not the "words that burn" Natures
own inspiration fills the heart with emo
tions too deep for utterance, and with the
poetry of the heart lies forever concealed
in its own mysterious shrine.
Unwritten poetry! 1t is stamped Upon
the broad blue sky; it wrinkles in every
star. 1t mingles in the oceans surge. and
glitters in the dew-drop that gems the
lily's bell. 1t glows in the gorgeous col
ors of the decline of day, and rests in the
blackened crest Of the gathering storm
cloud.
1t is on the mountains height. and in
the cataracrs roar-in the towering oak,
and in the tiny flower; where We can see
'the hand of God, there beauty finds her
dwelling place.
