modern democmcy-our readers will probably
have curiosity to know tha principles laid
down by 1t. We cory the following condcnsa'
ton of it's principal features from the New York
Tribune;
"lt is obvious" says this report, "thot two
distinct aud sntagonIstic forms OF society have
met for the contest upon the arena OF this Union.
The one" meaning no doubt the system OF the
Free Suites" assumes that all men are equal,
and that equality is right, und forming upon
that theory, Is straining It's members To lle hor.
gontal plain uf democracy. The other - that
Is the system Of the Slave States" assumes that
all men are not equal; llatcquality is not right,
therefore T; and forming upon this theory, Is Ia.
king upon itself tic rounded form of social atis
toCHcy.'
The report admits that the popular ideal of
the age is in favor of the former system; but,
on The other hand, the fact OF the existence of
domestic slavery is assumed not only to prove
that the " rounded form OF social aristoc0Tcy ~
s the "embodiment of living social truth,
bat MS estabishiug also, beyond doubt, the pre-.
minury point OF its being right" to bring the
negro, by cOmpuison, to u lilo Of labor"
Human society was never intended, 50 this re-
puTt muintuins, " to consist OF an unarticulated
mass OF pure democracy Whatever States have
com, 10 gteatnvss, have cxhilb,ed the cOndii ion
OF unequal classes. No State ever yet survived
the loss ol such politlcJl distinctions. "Rome
pcrshed in military democracy France leans
on dcsp0tlsm since the natural props ot social
order have been stricken down "--rcierring, we
SUPPOSE, TO the abolition of privileged olders--
and even now, it nigh be painful to consider
waut would BE- the North without the South.
These distinctions. however, though necessary
in communities consisting Of one rucp, are arti-
ica lnda therefore liable to yield to the force
OF social gravity. The only sure guaranty for
the perp'tuity OF the rounded form ol social
aristoCraCy," without which there can be ma
tionsl greatness, is to have at hand u naturally
inferior race such as the negroes assume to b.,
who can b. kept under forever aud the pres
ence, therefore of this inferior in he southern
States, and its multiplication there, 50 far from
being thing to be lamented, holds out to those
States "the promise OF brighter future ilun has
ever opened to the hopes OF man..
But 70 Justify ami hold up this union Of equal
races is to Justify the means of its iormation.--
An oitirmance of sla,ery, so the report contends,

slavery, is secuted alt We're as Just to hold that

PoRK.-Dr. Lewis declared, in one of his ply
siological lectures that he faithfully echoed the
voice of his profession, both in Europe a0t
America, when he announced that the pres m

God forbade tn, Jews to eat the flesh of TIN

and other vile diseases, pork was poisoning thei
bodies. The same Divine injunction neede
now to BE- repeated in the ears of Christians. -
