TAE RAFTsMANeS JOURNAL,

ASHAMED OF IT.-In the debate in the SEN
ate upon the Treasury note bill, Mr.. Pugh
(Democra) said:
ssAt the last session we were called upon,
in great hurry, to reduce the tariff. What
was the argument for that haste? That if VIC
did not reduce the tariffin double quick time,
there would tc surplus of $50 ,00o 600 OF
coin in the Sub-Treasury, and it would break
everybody. We have passed tariff bill, but
we have not only broken everybody, but we
have no money in the Treasury. Is this the
way the financial affairs of this Government
are to be conducted? You begin at one ses-
sion to press through bill. TO drive money
out of the Treasury, and then come here and
press US into the night hours to get another
bill to put money into the Treasury. think
this serious impeachment of the financial
abilities of the Democratic party; and, with
out meaning to be unkind to individuals, /
am a little ashamed of IL. We are precipitating
the Government of the United States, in a
time of peace. without any excuse for it, into
system of continental paper money. / can
make nothing else out of it.''

Mr.. ED,ToR The Democracy OF Elk held
County Meeting in Ridgway during their re-
cent Court week, at whici. some rich perform
ances came off. After organizing, delegates
10 the Democratic State Convention were ap-
peintcd-W. p. Wilcox, Esq, Senatorial, and
Joel Spyker, Esq, and DR.. I. J. Boyer, Rep
gesentatiye Delegates. By this time it was
understood that two sets of resolutions were
on haud-one set endorsing the course OF Bu-
chanan, the other Douglas. The Buchananites
lad secured the officers of the meeting, but
finding they were in minority, moved an ad-
journmcut before any resolutions were offered.
Then came the fun. The Douglas resolutions
were handed 70 Republican to read them to
the people-the meeting was re-org ganized, and
amidst all sorts of shouting, upsetting of ta-
bles and tossing about of chairs, the resolu-
1ions were adopted. They are as follows:
Resolusd, That we recognize the right of the
people of Territory in forming Constitu-
tion for admission into the Union, to establish
such local policy as to them may seem right
ard proper; and they (the citizens of such
Territory in accordance with the spirit of the
Kansas-Nebraska act have alone the right to
reject or adopt the Constitution under which
they are to act and make the Organic law in
tended for their own government.
Resolred, That Congress under the Constitu-
tion of the United States, has no power over
the question involved in a Constitution thus
made and endorsed by the fairly expressed
will Of the people, other than to see that IL is
republican in character.
Resolred, That Kansas, in forming her Con-
stitution should have submitted the same 10
the bona fide inhabitants thereof for adoption
or rejection. and having failed to do SO, 1t is
violation of the spirit and letter Of tie act
creating her Territorial Government and there
fore ought to be returned by Congress to the
rcsidents of Kansas for endorsement.
RESOLVED, That we believe the people to be
I the source of all power, and the representative
but the rsffsr of their will, and at all times a.
menable TO them for his actions.
1t is gratifying to see that there is large
and respectable portion of the Democracy OF
Elk county who are not willing to swallow the
Lecempton swindle and follow the lead Of
dough-face politicians. 9.
