INDIA RUBBER DEMOCRACY

The Vermont Autograph and Rcmarker
discourscs as follows on the plant and scrvile
Democracy of the present day:
Facts developed by the language and action
of the President, Congress and the Federal
Judiciary demonstrate that the article dubbed
Democracy in these days has. by dint of much
handling, acquired the expansive quality of
India rubber, capable Of being stretched IN
accommodate any ambitious design that self.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT may get up. Old fashioned
Jeilersonian Democracy, in the days of tho
elder Adams and later, was very Jealous of
the power and patronage of the Federal Gov
eminent, least it encroach on peoples rights.
and more especially on the rights of tho
States, and was disposed to check and oschew
slavery. But those Democrats were old o
gies compared with modern Democrats For
these have made the discovery that the voice
of the people of a Territory is of no account
if it be likely to stand in the way of the as
pirations of slave-holding interest outside.
1t has been discovered that none but white
folks have any right to escape from oppres-
sion and De protected as refugees among us
1t has been discovered by modern democracy
that If the slave-driving interest is not likely
to be advanced by allowing fair legal voting
in Territory it may compass it by violence
and fraud, driving away Free State men by
armed forces, by stuiling balot-boxes, on
forging false returns. And finally. it has come
to be decided by modern Administration De-
mocracy, to the confusion of all the old Whig
patriots who fought in or promoted our Rev
oluton. and MS who have always believed
them right, that there is no limit to the duty
of us people of the Free States TO obey and
cringe TO the authority OF the Federal Govern
mcnt and its protcge. the slave interest. no.
not even though it should kick the Consttu-
ton aside and assume an imperial crown
that we people must forever abide in union as
confederate States, let that union be ever SO
great curse, for it is fatal fixture. never 10
be divided, while the amount of territory. mo-
matter how unwieldy 1t already is. must be
swelled Alcxa0der-hko by adding ON more
and more. Such is the India rubber Democ-
racy of 1853, and such the India rubber SER

nasty that exercises it the most brazen. inn

is, how can he resist i'll For years lac has
labored TO prove it a sacred right of white
