IT has been said 81 a disin-
guished philosopher Of modern times that
words are things. Words within themselves
are often potent and powerful when the ideas
they are associated with and the objects and
purposes intended to be subserved thereby be-
come displaced BY others entirely foreign to
the original import and design. II is certain
ly emnently so il regard to names applied to
politicsi parties il the United States.
Itmay be thought premature to canvass the
party designation Of Republican so recently
applied to . political party. .es natfrs..t I,
"The report on funding the national debt in
1870 may fairly be sailto be the origin Of
that violent party-spirit which, under the
names of Federaists and Republicans, for
thirty years arrayed one part Of the American
community agains the other and which ex-
tended down to Nj. Monroe's Administl alton,
when party-spirit had died away and is still
spoken Of as the ERA Of good feeling.~
The cherished name OF Wing is Of foreign
extraction, thoughproperly applied to party
opposed to executive usurpation and the abuse
Of the Regal power of the Constitution as
practiced under the Jackson regime.
Our government Gas defined by Webster,) is
not Democracy;a form of government in
which the people exercise the powers of Leg.
islation collectively asrthev did ct Athens in
Ancient Greece. But ours is Republican
form OF government in which the agencies Of
the sovereign power is lodged in rspress nta-
tives elected by the people.
The name, Republican, is equally sppro-
pirate il not the most applicable name that
was ever applied to a political party in the
United States. The name, Democracy, has
degenerated unit Il has become only another
name, Pro- Slavery, for the old Democratic
party has for years been in possession, body
and soul, of thesslave power. s'

a. The abolition Of Slavery in the United
Statesis often secuted at ~ a Utopian aud
lcbimerical idea, on the ground Of The deep
root which that Institution has taken in our
Southern States, the strength Of the instsrests
which it involves, and its thorough incorpora-
ton into the whole system Of Southern socie-
ty. The case Of Russia may serve to show
that even obstacles like these are not invinci.
bic, and that institutions the deepest rooted.
cannot stand against prevailing and settled
conviction at once OF their injustice and of
their Inconsistency with the progress of moral
and material development. The friends and ad-
vocates OF the perpesuation OF Slavery in our
Southern States have shown themselves indeed
well aware Of tins fact. They no longer JUS
tify the continuance Of Slavery on the ground
of the magnitude of the interests involvd in il
and of the obstacles in the way of getting rid
Of It, Theyhav found it necessary to set ur
that Slavery is just and right in itself, a posi-
tive good both to masters and slaves, and the
means best adapted for the material and moral
developement of the South, With a desperate
hmdihood they stake their whole case upon
the maintenance Of these points, and in bring
ing the public mind to contemplate the qaes-
ton from this point of view they are, perhaps,
after all, under the guse Of ultra advocates Of
Slavery, the real pioneers of emancipation

Stout's Settler Bill.

AN ACT for the better protection of Settlers
ON Public Lands in this State, and to Sc
cure the rights Of parties in certain cases
SECTION |. Any party heretofore ousted
or who may hereafter be ousted, from the
possession of any land, in an action at law,
hy any party claiming title thereto under any
foreign grant, which grant shall be finally To-
Gated so as not to include such lands, shall
and may have his action, in the proper court,
against the party in whose land the writ OF
restitution issued, and against the party in
possession, to recover back the possession OF
any such land, with the rents and profits
thereof from the time he was so ousted, I'M
til he shall be restored to the possession OF
the same together with all costs and DANA
ges he may have sustained by reason of said
action of ejectment.
SEC. g. In any such action, if it shall ap-
pear that the plaintiff had been ousted by
writ of restitution from such land in former
suit wherein he had been defendant, that the
party who sues out such writ claimed his title
through foreign grant, and that such grant
had been finally rejected, or located so as not
to include such lands, snch facts shall entitle
the plaintiff to Judgment in his favor and a
writ of restitution against the party in pos
session, with judgment for all costs and
damages sustained by such action of eject
ment, and for all rents and profits, against
each Of the defendants for the time each had
been in possession of such premises, after
the service of the writ of restitution; and
such party plaintiff shall not be estopped III

were both present and voting for it, ANA
dor county is interested in the measure and
that quite largely.
We do not believe the bill now before the
Senate covers all the ground it might, and
still be within the limits prescribed by the Su-
premc Court.
We think clause should be inserted pro-
hibitng any one from recovering lands unless
he had placed on record plain survey of the
same, so that any one might know when they
were trespassing on his claim, from the pub
lie records. The Statute requires other IT,
ties to land to be recorded and failure to
record is loss of right in them as against
third parties. Why not have the same thing
in regard to original grants Another fea-
ture might deny the plaintiff cost on recov-
cry in an action Of ejectment, where. the de-
fendant had good reason to believe he had
located on public lands;-let this be ques-
tion for the jury The defendant could also
be permitted to remove any fencing or hous-
es he may have placed on the land; for it is
the common law that gives these to the
person recovering land, and with us that law
is only binding when not in derogation of
the Constitution and Statutes.
But if the Settlers cannot have full JUS
tice, let them have as near it as possible.
