ss- We copy, from the N. o. Bulletin,
M article on the remedy for the evils OF
the times, and commend it to our readers,
as ably maintaining the views which we
have so often feebly set forth. A fair and
full investigation of the causes of existing
evils will satisfy every honest enquirer that
they arc to be found in the multiplicity OF
elective officers, and universal suffrage
The power to protect property has been
virtually taken from those interested in its
protection and givenit TO those who have no
such interest; and the power to maintain
law and order aud to promote virtue, has,
in like manner, been taken from the in
telligent and virtuous and given to the
ignorant and vicious The thieves and
paupers and adventurers in the large cities
greatly outnumber the substantial citizens,
and hence the mobs, and the impunlty
with which crime is committed This
floating vicious vote can elect the city
officers and therefore corrupt men become
candidates and pander TO this vote; hence
the ineficiency Of city governments, the
rapid increase Of lawlessness and crime
aud the insecurity of person and property
Outside the cities, the same causes are at
work, producing the same effects; and as
the rural districts become more densely
populated, more nearly will they approxim'
ate the corruption of the cities because OF
the Increasing disproportion between the
good and substantial citizens and Their
cpposites.
Our Institutions were based upon the
superstition that the majority would prove
adequate to the duties of self government

position, the earlier statesmen erected
safeguards around the ballot.box to pro

Ra- The Richmond Enquirer, speaking
of the war upon Douglas, says :-"Fear
full will be the responsibility resting upon
the Administration, if it does not use every
legitimate effort to harmonic the party
it claims the victory upon Lecompton, and
can, therefore, with peculiar grace, prefer
the pipe Of peace"
In the better days Of the Republic, the
President was considered the servant of
the people, and his sworn duty was the
faithful execution of the laws enacted by
the peoples Representatives. but that
doctrine is now an exploded humbug and
the President is the master of the people,
and exercises the same tyranny over their
political opinions and actions that is exer-
cised by the Pope over the consciences of
catholics. And instead of reasoning with
men--laying facts before them to convince
their judgments and shape their political
actions, We find leading locofoco journal
invoking the President to use the power
with which he is invested by patronage
and slavish submission, to make the people
harmonic upon certain measures and men
And this is popular sovereignty This is
the centralizing tyranny which demagogues
uphold, and to which nominally free
people submit. That man, claiming to
be free, and carrying himself erect, can,
without blush, call upon the President
to lash those who should be freemen into
obedience to his will, and support of his
measures, is startling evidence of politi.
cal corruption that ought to awaken every
honest patriot to the danger impending
over the Republic. No despot of the cold
world" is ever fattered by stronger mani
festations of corrupt allegiance, or more
urgently pressed to abuse the power held
by force and sanctioned by long and slavish
submission to its exercise. Yet this is
still called Republic, -lucus a non lucendC
and we vauntingly proclaim ours the

B6s- We have been waiting to see the
Union & American pitch into the Galphin
claim. We are curious to see its proof
that the claim was unjust, and how, and to
what extent, Mr.. Fillmore is culpable in
the transaction. The claim, says Mr..
Toombs, was unanimously allowed by
Congress. Were there any locofocos in
that body, at that time? Mr.. Toombs says
further, that when Gen. Taylor came in,
the only question was whether interest
should be allowed upon the claim-pre-
viously allowed, mark you-and that the
Secretary Of the Treasury referred the
question to Reverdy johnson, who decided
that it ought to draw interest, as all similar
claims had done. And what had Mr..
Fillmore to do with it? Why it was paid
during his administration. So was part
of the Mexican war debt-did that make
him responsible for the Mexican war p
OF course it did, or the position of the
Union & American is slightly absurd

Say The New Orleans Bee expresses its
fears that the anti-slavery sentiment
rapidly growing up in Texas will result in
the formation of free State, where the
South least expects it. Two or three years
ago, we ventured to warn the South of the
danger to be apprehended from the colonies
of Europeans planted in Texas, and taken
under the especial charge of the locofoco
party. To get votes, that party has proven
itself ready to hazard every substantial
interest of the South and as all foreigners,
coming here, are anti-slavery, from educa-
ton and interest, and as the locofocos
know this to DO true, they are guilty Of
building up tower ofanti-slayery strength
that threatens tho determination Of slavery,
or dissolution of the Union. If the
foreigners in Texas were--as they should
be-excluded from the ballot bOx, the
South would have nothing to fear from
them; but, as voters, their strength is
formidable, will ever be exorted against
slavery. And should the State of Texas
ever be divided, the formation of a fires
State is fixed fact,

pa- The Cincinnati Gazette has an
article on the reception of John j. Crit
tenden, in that city, the purpose of which
is to make the impression that it was q
move on the political chess board, whereby
certain politicians are attempting to fasten
him upon the people as candidate for the
Presidency. That the Gazette should take
such view of the matter, is perfectly in
character, and it is not in the nature of
such partizan, to see in popular demon
stration Of respect for an honest and dis
tinguished Senator anything but the out
ward sign Of some secret intrigue. But
his fears as we'll as his partizan instincts,
prompt him to take ground against all
such independent demonstrations, lest
some Of his own party slaves may rebel
and 90 over to the ranks of the opposi-
ton.
But, if the Gazette has found in the
Cincinnati demonstration evidence of such
an intrigue, as he hints at, what does he
do with the invitations, from other cities,
to other distinguished men to acceptsimilar
manifestations of popular favor and graft
tude? Does the same cabal propose to
elect to the Presidency, at one and the
same time, John j. Crittenden, John Bell
Humphrey Marshall, Montgomery Of
Pennsylvania, and others who have express
sed their adherence Of the Kansas swindle
and have received therefor the thanks o.
honest men in various sectionsP Such
supposition is ridiculous; and common
sense ought to teach any man that clique
desiring to make one man candidate
would take no steps to lessen his chances
by bringing forward rival claimants.
John ]. Crittenden has done his dut,
like an honest man, patriot and states
man. and for the rare exhibition of sucl
qualities, has received the spontaneou
thanks of good men of all parties; and t.
construc decentralization into an evidence
of political intrigue, proves nothing agalns
the parties to the demonstration, but prove
much against those who sheer at the move

gave it birth. But some of the organs
the various parties, North and South, de
clare that it is premature to take any stel
towards designating candidate tor tn

his report on freetrade, says:
"Itisa singular fact, that while we hear so much
on this point Of protecting American industry. no
one, not even the most Jealous protectlonist, has
taken any exception TO the free Introduction oil
foreign labor. That Is foreign competition by the
very hresides Of our iaboring classes. Their So
called peculiar friends take no steps to discourage
this compe tltion, the necessary effect Of which il

competition from this cause, Il is only necessary
TO refer to the number of immigrants who have
entered this country from 1643 to 1883. The |
statistics Of immigration show that within that
period 3l74,395 immigrants arrived in the United
States from foreign countries.
But during all this period. complaint has
been uttered by the peculiar friends Of home In
dustry, the protectioni'ts Why was ths7 The
reason is sufficiently obvious: because the protec
tive policy is designed to benefit the capitalists,
g nd is not urged in the interest of the laboring
classes, though that popular sentiment is assumed
Nothing could more thoroughly demonstrate the
fslsity Of the assumption that protection Is de-
signed for the benefit OF the aborine classes, than
the stubborn fact that the prosctionists have made
no efforts to discourage the immigration of labor
ers. but, the contrary, have steadily encouraged
the same, when the necessary effect was to dimin-
ish the wages of labor"
With due Difference to that gentleman's
opinions, we beg leave to correct the error
into which he hes fallen. 1t is known to
all who have chosen to inform themselves,
that many leading politicians and journal
lists, all over the country, have urged upon
the mechanics and day -laborers the i'm
portance, to them, of checking that COM
petition of foreign pauper labor which is
SO rapidly depreciating the dignity of labor
and lessening its profits This point
has been argued and pressed from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and thousands fat
tered themselves that it would enlist every
honest laborer against that policy which
encourages the importation of foreign
laborers to impoverish the native mechanic
by reduction of his wages. And so far
from the statement, we have copied, being
true, we confidently assert that is only
among the supporters of the freetrade
humbug that the advocates of foreign i'm
migration are to be found. Who are the
advocates of freetrade and direct taxes p
They are locofocos. And who are the ad-
vocates of foreign immigration-and who
are they that refuse to do anything effec-
tive, to prohibit the influx of foreign
paupers and convicts? They are locofocos
These things are strictly true; yet this
locofoco frectrade reporter is so careless as
to state that ono complaint has been ut
tered by the peculiar friends of home in
dustry," against policy so ruinous tc
