sasncs be persuasive enough to turn them from

Oar Government = Republic, not a
- Democracy.
Senator Clay, Of Alabama, leading member of
the Democratic party, lately made speech In the
United States Senate, 10 which no contended that
this Government IL q Republic, not Democracy.
g" The proposition observes the Petersburg Istel-
ligenccr ais true, beyond dispute. OF the three De-
psrtmsnts Of the Government, the Executive, the
Legislative and the Judiciary not one Is constituted
BY direetac Of the people. The President is elect
people, and these Electors are free to vote for
whom they please. The people have no agency at
all in the designation of his Constitutional Advi-
ssrs. The Legislative Department is composed of
two bodies, and the inferior only is elected by
the people. The Supreme Court (forming the third
Department. 10 entirely independent Of the people.
The Lower House Of the Legislative Department. 10
the only branch Of tho Government that springs
directly from, and Immediately represents, the
peops-but see the checks upon 1t; first, the SEN
ate; second, the Executive; third, the Supreme
Court--any enc Of which may defeat the action of
this, the only peoples branch of the Government"
Our fathers founded Republican Governments in
preference to Democracies, says Mr.. Clay, not so
much because II would be impraeticabe, as be-
cause 1t would be unwise and inexpedient for tho
people themselves to assemble and adopt laws
They were satisfied from reading and reflection, OF
the truth Of Mr.. Msdisons observation about pure
deinoeraeies that they shave ever been spectaeles
Of turbulence aud contention have ever been
found incompatible with personal security, or the
rights Of property, and have in general been as
short In their lives as they have been violent in
their deaths"
Mr.. Clay justly maintai that the great security
OF rights Of Iife liberty and property, 10 in the
responsibility of those who make, ant OF those who
execute the law. Establish principle" says he
that " give sanction to law II must be approved
by the majority at the ballot.box, and you take
away this security, and surrender those right. to
the most capricious, rspacous and cruel of tyrants
regret to see the growing spirit in Congress- and
throughout the country, to democratize our gov
to submit every question, whether per-
tanning to organic municipal laws, to the vote
Of the people. This is sheer radicalsm. 1t is the
He'd Republication Of revolutionary France, which
appealed to the sections on all occasions, and not
the American Repubiicanisn of fathers
Their republicanism was stable and conservative;
this 10 mutabe and revolutionary. Theirs afforded
shield for the minority; this gives sword to the
majority. Theirs defended the rights Of the weak;
this surrenders them to the power Of the strong.
God forbid that the demag Of the day should
prevail over the philanthropic aud phiiosophie |
Of our fathers"
The South should ever bear 10 mind and main
taia the true theory Of the government, for in 1t
lice her salvation. Our ancestors saw as much
danger to Liberty in King Demos AZ King George,
