DEMOCRATIC OPINION OF MECHANICS

of the northern free society is, that it is burden
ed with A SERVILE GLASS OF MECHAN-

RELATION IN SOCIETY AS NECESSARY
AS PARENT AND CHILD; AND THE
NORTHERN STATES WILL HAVE TO
INTRODUCE 1T. The theory of free govern
ment is delusion."
The above is not the utterance of a nero stray
Cling politician; it is the publicly avowed senti-
ment of prominent member of the United
States senate; an influential man in the demo-
cratic ranks. 1t is of no use to plead that Sen.
ator Hammond is a southern man, and that h is
opinions are of no Importance to the northern
democracy. He is a man of high standing in
the great democratic pafty-a party which ID
to-day controlled and governed by shareholders
To deny this, is to deny there is a south, or a
slaveholding interest in the Union. majority
of the democratic members in both houses OF
congress, are from the slaveholding states, and
represent slaveholding interests. The denoc-
racy of the north, claim to be in sympathy and
fellowship with the national democracy of the
Union, Every northern democratic vote there
fore, lends streng tn and potency, to such princi-
Piles as are expounded by Senator Hammond.

CHINESE SUGAR CANE.

The exhibition of the manufacture of sugar
from the Chinese Sugar Cane, at the State FAIR,
will give new impulse to the production ofsu-
gar in Wisconsin. Sugar Works was in full
operation on the Fair Grounds, which gave an
opportunity for great multitudes during the sew
eral days of the Fair, to witness the process Of
grinding the cane and pressing the juice, oiling
and cleansing the syrup, and the manner of con-
verting the syrup into sugar. Among all the
attractions on the Fair Grounds, there were none
regarded with SO much apparent interest, as the
Sugar Works. Men of science and of distin-
guished reputation not only in this, but from
other States, witnessed the operation of the Su-
gar Mill with deep interest, and the unanimous
sentiment seemed to be expressed, that the time
is quito near at hand when Wisconsin and other
northern States will produce all the sugar and
syrup necessary for home consumption, and al
Cheaper rates than can be furnished from south
I'm or foreign market.
Tho Sugar Works on the Fair Grounds wa,
owned by MIR. c. A. johnson Every informa
ton, relating to the proper time of cutting the
cane, the manner of preps ring it for the mill
the cleansing of the syrup-in short, the entire
process OF manufacture was clearly and fully ex-
planned to all who sought to make inquiries
Very many who had made a trial of the sugar
cane, with partial success, and who witnessed
the operation of the mill at the State Fair, and
heard the explanations given, saw wherein they
had failed of success. No doubt hundreds of
farmers went away from the State Fair with
a full determination to make the growing of the
Chinese Sugar Cane one of the interests the CO.
ming year.

produclVeness, which we feel inclined to make
a hobby 1T is the production of the Sorghum. Su-
gar Las come to be regarded an article of nsces-
slty In every family, however poor and depend
ont. Evnn when cheap in che market it forms
large item in the list of family expenses. The
poorer classes have an immense interest in the
mstter. From the many experiments which hav
been made, it is reasonable to draw the conclu
sion, that the soil and climate of the northern
states are adapted to the growth and maturity
OF the Chinese Sugar Cane that sugar and mo-
lasses can be produced cheaply, and rendered
nearly as easily obtainable by every small house
holder, as cabbage. potatoes and corn.

November Election Near.

Republicans ofKenosha county, should
bear in mind that an important election
IS near at hand. The greatest danger
to the securing of a republican triumph
arises from want of activity and eff
clent organization. sSThe people have
taken upon themselves the responsible
lty OF self government; it is a response
blllty they cannot throw off with impun-
lty. The perpetuity of our republican
institutions depends upon the vigilance
and care with which they are guarded,
by those to whom they are entrusted.
1t is a lamentable fact that every year
thousands of well disposed, quiet loving
voters, stay away from the polls; thus al
lowing demagogues who are always &C
lively employed in advancing their per-
sonal ends, to control the ballot box.
publicans, we ask you this year, to
give one day to the cause of freedom at
the polls. Last year we failed of full
republican triumph in the state, because
thousands did not go to the election
It's not the election of members of Con-
gress alone, that has an important bear
ing on the great and momentous nation
al issues of the day; the securing of a
state Legislature of right principles and
of reliable integrity, is a matter of the
frst Importance. Let every republican
resolve that he will not only 90 to the
polls himself, but see to it that every re.
publican neighbor of his, also goes ia
the polls.

A. FOR CONGRESS,
JOHN f. POTTER,
Of Wal,cOrth County
Have the People Sovereign Power
Of Wal,cOrh County

That the sovereign power of our gov
eminent resides in the people, seems
never to have been doubted, until the
discovery of new light by the modern
democracy. The doctrine was taught
by the early fathers of the Republic and
their descendants, thatth sovereign peo-
pie can make laws and constitutions
and unmake them they can establish
courts, prescribe their powers; change
their organization, or remodel them,
as they may deem most conducive to the
public welfare.
Now the modern democracy tell US,
the people have no means ofremedying
the decisions Of the Supreme Court
That the DEGREES Of this tribunal, how
ever tyranical or subversive of Justice
and right, are final, and that the people
have no alternative but submission
Such is the substance of the reasoning
OF the organ Of the Kenosha county de-
mocracy. Are the people TO be taught
a slavish submission to encroachments
upon liberty in any department of the
government? The Supreme Court is
an instrument of the government, crea-
ted by the people, through constitutional
provisions. The idea that any part of
our governmental machinery is beyond
the reach of the sovereign people, is a
monstrous absurdity. 1.-THE democracy
had never strayed hopelessly away from
the teachings of Jefferson, on the power
OF the Supreme Court, and its relations
to the people, they would never have
counseled tame and final acquiescence
to despotic power. There was period
IN the history of England, when the most
fragrant acts of injustice were done the
people by the pretended authority oflaw,
through a corrupt judicial tribunal.
In this country, we trust the people
are not yet prepared to surrender their
sovereignty. There is a power behind
the throne Of the court-a power that
can set limits and put safeguards against
an undue exercise of judicial authority.
1t is doubtless owing to the tender re-
gard Of the democracy for the institu-
ton OF slavery, that they wish to make
the people believe that the Supreme
Court, as now constituted, is perpstu.
al fixture upon our American institu-
tons.

THE ONE GREAT Sin AGAINST DE.
MOCRACY

In this ags OF partisan strife, n man may hold
and advocate almost any phase of political doc
trines ever conceived of in this country, except
one, and yet not lose caste in the democratic
ranks. He may hold as does Senator Hammond
that slavery is a blessing to mankind, and the
best condition for the aberng man. ,csite or black
He may MAINTAIN, as did Senator Clay, of Al
ALBANIA, last winter, that tue rights of the people
are unsafe, SO long subject to the ,ciH of ma
joritie' at the ballot Dor. He may believe in
popular sovereignty" or he may declare it an
unmitigated humbug, as do some OF the promi-
nent democratic journals. He may be an open
nulliher, as are many influential members of the
democratic party of the present day. He may
be for tariff or free trade. He may maintain it
to be the duty of congress to make appropria-
tions for barbors and rivers, or altogether deny
such right He may advocate the re-opening of
| the slave trade, or oppose such policy. he may
be in favor of extending suffrage or restricting
it. He may believe the constitution carries
slavery into every free state in the Union, as do
very many Of the southern democracy. In short,
there has been no political dogma preached for
the last twenty-five years, which may not be
advocated, and still maintain standing in the
sc-cal.ed democratic psrty-except one. There
are found men filling federal offices, under the
patronage of a democratic administration known
to hold some one or more of every doctrine hero
enumerated. There can be found democratic
journals, and men holding high position IN the
democratic ranks, who represent all the political
dogmas here named, Whoever doubts this, let
him name the exception.
The democratic party is the most tolerant, ex-
cept on one point, of all parties ever known on
the face of the earth; it proscribes and excom-
municatcs from its ranks for one political offence
only;-that is the sin against slavery. Whoever
speaks against slavery, declares himself in IA
vor Of employing every constitutional means to
prevent its spread over any more free territory,
Of combining it strictly within the limits where
it now exists, and moreover declares it to be his
discrimination to make his political action cor.
respond with these principles, is denounced by
the democracy as an GbOLitioaist, black repub>
lican and an enemy to the democratic party.
Such is modern democracy; it allows all ATTITUDES
of principles and beliefs-almost any cenceiva-
bic theory Of government, provided always, the
great institution of American slavery is not as
sailed, or any attempts made to damage it.
This is no exaggerated statement of the politi-
cal materials of which the great democratic par
ty is composed; if it be so, let any one show in
what particular.
