Well informed parties believe that in respect

The favorable Issue OF the doubts which

SUGGESTIONS 10 AN INouIRER.

They say it is far more difficult for man of sixty
to learn foreign language than for one of twenty
We confess we could explain why it is so !;
because the former is presumed to be ripe in expe-
rence, observation and knowledge, and the latter
not only without either but wholly unsettled in the
purposes of life. Since we find it so difficult to point
out ''the true democratic way" to our venerable
neghbors of the Inteligeos,, and make them under
stand the important landmarks in the Journey of DO
litica life, led to the general conclusion that
age does not add to the capacity of an individual to
learn and comprehend even the distinction between
"good and evil" The Iateligencer has fallen upon
some remarks Of Hon. c. G. Clay, which probably
were made in reference to question which had not
been the subject of popular discussion and decision
and upon which he was called upon to express
an independent judgment and we greatly fear is
too much disposed to pin its faith upon what
it delights to quote--Mr. Clay's observations on
the occasion referred to. Now, we venture to
say that the Hon G. G. Clay maintains the
great doctrine of representative responsibility
and accountability; that, as senator from Alabama,
it is his purpose, all occasions to reflect the viii
of the people of Alabama, where that will has been
iaiiy mauo hnoWh. we nave no DeHet that Mr..
Clay intended to convey the idea that when the peo-
pie of his State invested him with the dignity and
authority Of the Office of senator Of the United
States they conferred upon him an independent ex-
istence, or made him any more nor less than their
representatives. Be this as it may, the Ingenccr will
find it perfectly safe to adopt the principle that pub
lie officers, of all grades, the representatives of
the people, directly or indirectly. This principle
very fortunately needs declarations of public
men to support it. nor can its justice and forco be
impaired by what this that senator shall say about
it. Rejecting upon this point much of the difficulty
of the htea'gncer, growing out of conflicting au-
thorities, will be removed, and we humbly trust
this way it will yet be able to find the laws of the
democratic party
