On the ist Of December, 1857 John Van Buren,

Of language something to the following effect: "a

cratic ticket other definition can be given 70 the

A Democrat is one that votes the regular tcke,.
Mr.. Van Buren, voted against the regular ticket; co..

SIXTH ARTICLE.
The weaknesS Of the Objections to the
Loan.

Perhaps no single cause has given such
an impulse to the loan measure as the char.
acter of the opposition which has vainly at
tempted to arrest its progress, The per-
sonalites aimed at well known citizens, re-
coiled with stunning etEect-the attempt to
excite party prejudices broke down most
disastrousy; and, at last, we have some ad.
verse discussion of the question We have
not thought it worth while to review these
demonstrations ard propose now to notice
them briefly.
l. We hear, occasionally, something
about u " Rdilrodd Oi'garchy." We shall
build up an oligarchy, by helping these
roads to start next summer In our last
article we showed exactly the reverse; that
by lending the name OF Minnesota TO our
companies, now, We can keep them indie
pendent Of outside intluences--we can have
the work done by our own people. for ready
money, thereby building chcaply, and secu.
ring low fares and low prices for railroad
lands-that, with temporary assistance
these works can be lifted over the dangers
which beset all new Western enterprises,
and will continue more within our control
here in Minnesota, than will otherwise be
possible. Is not this reasonable, But
there is one clause in this Section which
should relieve these Tears OF Railroad OH.

year-snd many endorsements Of future
railroad construction would be removed
Prominent among the beneficial results Of
= loan Of State credit, would be the substi-
tuition Of system Of cash contracts for con
struction executed with our own citizens in
limited sections. The experience Of many
Western railroads has been, that for want
OF resources at the start, company has
been obliged TO close with a disadvantageOus
contract, perhaps TO single individual or
association, for the whole length Of ine.--
The State aid here proposed, will be received
in time TO prevent any such arrangement ;
and the companies will be enabled TO build
their roads at cost full one third less than
would be inevitable under any monopoly
contract.
OF such efficacy will be the judicious con-
currence Of the government at this time.
We close by enumerating the results Of the
proposed measure, in securing to the citi-
zens and State Of Minnesota, the substantial
control Of Our railroad system:
|. 1t will place each company in posi-.
ton, where, without dependence upon rival
cities Of rival States, we can communicate
on satisfactory basis with the capitalists
Of Europe and the Atlantic States.
g As contracts for railroad construc-
ton, in favor Of single parties at extrava-
giant rates, Sre generally forced upon the
railroad companies Of a Western State, when
they are weak AMI struggling for the first
million; the aid of the State will lift our
Minnesota companies into position where
contracts can be entered into with our own
citizens for reasonable distances and at fair
prices.
3. by such a contract policy, the roads
will he buit for cash, and of course cheapy !;
and just to the degree that this i: done, a
company can reduce the rates Of freight and
travel when road is in operation.
4. IT, by timely loan of State credit, a
company can avoid large contracts and
credit prices Of construction, it can afford to
reduce the prices Of lands, in correspond
ing ratio, and thereby contribute to the
more rapid settlement Of the country.
5. Thus may we avoid railroad oil
garchy-the vision Of which is so prominent
to some. A loan of State credit, as proposed,
makes our roads Minnesota highway
keeps their control at home -dispenses with
all middle men between these enterprises
and the Golfers Of capital-prevents their
wasteful construction by strangers; and
secures every advantage which we promised
ourselves when the grant was made by the
Congress Of the United States.
Our confidence is firm and abiding. that
these considerations in favor Of the loan of
State credit will be recognized by every re-
hectiag man, as an unanswerabIe justification
Of the measure.

Burning of the Crystal palace.


The conhagration has left nothing but a
heap of ruins of the vast structure that cost
100000. The fire broke ont about P.
NJ, on the 9TH inst, and in thirty minutes
the magnificent dome fell in; the walls
soon followed. There were about one thou
sand people in the Palace when the fire was
first discovered; the widest confusion
reigned. 1t is reported that three or four
were killed-this is probably exaggerated.
The burning was so rapid that hardly any
thing was saved. The building cost seven
hundred thousand dollars-goods on exhi-
bition variously estimated at FIVE hundred
thousand to million dollars Large guam
tity of statuary, etc, remaining in the Pal
ace since the Worlds Fair, among which
was the Bronze Amazon, by Kiss, costing
twenty-five thousand dollars. Small in
surance on the building. rT
The city took forcible possession of the
Palace, at the time in the hands of the as
signces, and leased it to the American In
stitute. The Palace stockholders viii now
probably sue the city for the value of the
building.

STATEMENT.
We were present and witnessed the &C
currences that led to the assault upon Deputy
Sheriff Mcbride on Friday evening last
and we are convinced that the whole diff
Guilty was induced by the insulting language
and conduct of Mcbride himself. He first
assailed Mr.. Burke in insulting language
because he had expressed himself for Gayitt
He then very insultingly shook his fist at
Gavitt. In this language and manner,
he was encouraged and stimulated by his
friend Paul Evans, who in his turn insulted
Mr.. Gavitt and endeavored in various ways
to provoke him to fight.
Mr.. Gayltt, notwithstanding these insults,
acted with calmncss and self possession, and
seemed anxious to avoid difficulty with
them. When Mr.. Mcbride was struck, Mr..
Fitzwilliams had hold of Mr.. Mcbride to
prevent fight, and was standing face to face
with him, and the blow that felled Mcbride
came over Fitzwilliams shoulders, from be-
hind, as Fitzwilliams states, and they fell
together. Who struck the blow is unknown
Gavitt was at some distance from Mcbride
at the moment. As he fell, GaYitt went to
his aid, and helped him up, and denounced
the act as mean and cowardly assault
Mr.. Mcbride was accompanied by several
friends, one or two of whom appeared to be
bent on fight. The persons who were with
Mr.. Gayitt were respectable citizens, who
had casually met, and were on their way
home and stopped for drink where they
met Mcbride and Evans. AS far as we saw
the companions of Gayitt were active in at
tempts to prevent, rather than excite, diff
ficulty. JAMES FITzwILLIAMs.
