to the calm region Of political economy
Perhaps it will be frankly Acknowledged that
the sound maxims of the latter may now be
allowed their due force upon the minds Of
thoughtful and intelligent Democrats. who
we're held uDder obligations to suppress their
convictions at q time when to utter them
might have "hurt the party" and enured to
the credit Of the Wings. Admitting the JUS
tice Of this plea, which perhaps equally ap'
plies to some other curreot Emergencies from
the ancient Democratic faith, We are brought
to the melancholy conviction that allegiance
to the Lscomptou Constitution aud inphcit
faith in the "Euglish Conference BILL as the
last word and highest devel pment OF Demo
cratic wisdom, alone survive az the infaiiibie
~oriteria Of a modern Democra'! When dill
ference OF opinion is tolerated upon all other
questions, from the eIpediencg ct reViVing
the slave trade to the policy OF improving the
navigation of the Saint Clair Flats. while ON
the other hand it is pertinaciOus'y iasisteo
that no true Democrat can either ada 10 or
subtract from the words Of the aforesaid
English bill, we are left to infer that the lat
ter is employed merely as a Convenient gym
Dol for the recognition of the faithful, since
none, We suppose will impute it to aught OF
dignity or Importance as the embod ment OF
any great Democratic princip pie. II, then,
the sy mbol fail US as a criterion, We are lett
without resource; aud that it does fail any
serious searsher for Democratic truth must be
apparent to any one vino has made the e1-
pertinent. For it cannot have escaped the
notice of any Intelligent Observer that even
this test is not held " be vigorously applics'
BILE outside Of Illinois.
Under these circumstance We are sure
that our considerate friends of the Richmond
Enquirer would not have Us com ait ourselves
hastily to any particular fragment or wing
OF the extaut Democracy. Ii seems to US, at
least the part OF prudence, to watch and wait
ua.il the elements shall seem q li,tle more
favorable to a rational and happy selection
among the piebald AID heterogeneous claim
acts to tie name aud honor OF representing
the true Democracy. 1t would be Gortlty.
