MINORITIES.

We. believe il is we'll settled prime pie Of
republican government that minorities have
rights--to be respected and obserSed--as
well - majOrilies; and that While il is proper
and not to be gainsnyed thai the greater
number, acting together for legitimate pur-
poses, should have control Of and he respon.
slble for the conduct of the governmental the
same time il is no disgrace or odum TO belong
to the minority or opposition. This has hith-
erto readily been accorded bv the honest aud
liberal minded Of all parties. Such, however,
does not seem to be the opinion of the con.
ductors Of the democratic pres, Of the pres
eni day. On the contrary, Il the articles dali
ly and weekly put forth in those papers are
to be received Ms expressions Of their opin.
ion on the subject, they evidently believe thai
| mnori,ies have no rights under the govern
ment-.hat the acts Of the government un.
! der which they live are above their investga-
| ton and crilcism-that il is oGious TO be of
the weaker party, and little less than high
treason to question the infalibiIity Of the
stronger, or animadvert upon the policy and
practice Of those whom Improper appliances or
the contingency Of numbers may have placed
at the head Of affairs. For onrself, we must
dissent from this narrowfmintled view-ths
anti American .pd anti Democratic doctrine
which the modem Interpreters Of republican.
ism are setting up for The observance and
worship of freemen; holding, rs we do, that
the safety and security Of our institutions
rests with the minority, no matter what party
may be in power, and that withou: the watch
fuIness and vigilance of the "opposilion,'
the ship Of state would soon founder and 20
down, rs others have gone before, mid annr-
chy and confusion. There was time, even
within our recollection, when very different
feeling prevailed on this subject--when mem
bers Of distinct political organizations and the
advocates of measures radically different, could
| ceFdially render to each other the merit of
honesty ofpurpose and the purity ofpatriolic
motive. But that was some time ago, and
before the present dominant party adopted
the motto, success first, Principles when
convenient" and when office was sought not
on account Of the number of dollars it would
enable the incumbent TO pocket, but that he
might fill ii with honor to himself and his
country; and when place was tho incident
and not the object, ofthose possessing quaIiii-
cation for public station.
Parties have wandered an infinite distance
from the old landmarks, when majorties
were tolerant and the rights and opinions OF
the minorities were treated at least with re-
spect. Whether they viii ever return to "frst
principles" is more than we can undertake to
say.

DOUGLAS AND SEwARD.--A writer in Wash.
ington, from whose letter we take an extract,
says that the issue is made up, and that Sew.
ard and Douglas will be the candidates in
1860 His sources of information are better
than ours but we suspect he will find himself
mistaken in the prediction, as the Black Re
slavery, will not be guilty of the insane folly
of nominating Mr.. Seward. The more so,
gacious of them know that, with the excep.
ton perhaps OF Massachusetts, and Vermont
he would not be able to carry a single State
and that his nomination would prove the
destruction of the party. The great masses
of the Northern people entertain no such
sentiments as Mr. Seward recently enunciated
In his Rochester speech, and they will repu.
date him and his doctrines whenever he
comes before them for the Presidency. We
will bet higher on that than we would on
the honesty of any locofoco exotic in the
whole South

VIM. II. SEwARp.-This distinguished
Senator seems to be the nightmare ever press
ing upon the breasts of our democratic CO.
temporarias-the one fearful shape ever pres
Ont to their vision in the broad glare of day

is an election in prospective, Bill SEWARD

cratic press South had been specially organ.
lied to write tho New York Senator into
formidable proportions, they could not labor
with more unanimity or greater industry to
effect that purpose than they are now doing.
That Seward is Free Soiler of the worst
grade is beyond dispute, and that he makes
the anti-slavery prejudces serve the purposes
of his ambition is undeniabe; but that he is
tho great ogre which he is represented, ready
always to invade the South and devour all
the white women and children and carry off
all the little niggers in his breeehes pockets,
Is simple nonsense. He is not half 80 dan

PRETEND and it does seem that the southern
papers might better serve the interests of their
section than by continually pRradng his
name, surrounded by terrible characters, be-
fore the public. To be short about it, MIR.
Seward is more largely indebted to tho
Southern press, than to any other instrument
tally, for what some regard as the awful su-
promacy of his present position; and without
their valuable aid he would have never risen
above his inevitable level--tho leadership of
a mere faction. II they will cease to magnify
his importance---giving him credit for all he
IL entitled to, and nothing more-we venture
the assertion that in less than two years as
q public man he will be too dead TO skin.
