The Democracy On tho Record

The Democracy On tho Record.
We present below complete statement
of the votes in the last Legislature on the
money bills which passed that body. We
ask our readers to examine carefully the
votes upon each bill and see what will be-
come OF the charges of extravaganza winch
are brought against the Republicans by the
Democracy.
Ii the Democracy now tell the truth about
these charges they must decisively condemn
their own action in the last Legislature. Is
will be found by an analysis OF the vote for
the several appropriations that IN EVERY IN
srAscs MAJORITY OF THE DEMocRArs VOTING
in the General Assembly VOTED FOR THE BILLS;
| and in every instance but one, majority Of
the Democrats voting IN HAcH HOUSE sUs-
TAINED THE BILLs.
BY every recognized rule Of political re-
sponsibility, the Democratic party il COM
mitted to these measures as just, and required
by the best interests of the State. Not one
Of these was advanced or advocated MS q
party measure. Each was supported by both
| parties in the discharge Of their sworn duties
as members of the legislative branch OF the
State government. 1t may do for the repu-
dators Of the Missouri Compromise to re-
pudiate these joint measures, demanded by
the public interests, and to repudiate the
constitutional provision for the Common
Schools which their own hands introduced.
But with the people they can make nothing
more by this motion than they have done by
their Reputation Of the National Compro-
mise. They only convict their party and
policy Of weakness and vasoillatien to an ex-
tent that forfeits all claims to public conf
dence in either.
The vote on the money bills of the session
of 1S5R was fnltnwa.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1883,

The appointment of the Hon. ROBERT n. MAR
TIN, as Judge of the Superior Court, has given
great satisfaction not only to the Bar, but to the
majority of our citizens. His long experience and
professional attainments, together with his capa-
city and high personal character render him emf
neny fit for the position. In view of the vast in
terests that may be affected by the action of the
tribunal over which Judge MARTIN is called to pre-
side, we could not but comment upon the course
of Governor Hicks as we did, when The Patriot
Of Tuesday evening announced that commission
had teen sent to so young lawyer as Mr.. MAcHEN
In the remarks which cur duty, as journalists, COM
PEELED us to make in reference to this gentleman's
nomination, we should, perhaps, have mentioned
that it was rumored he would decline the place.
But as we have long considered the refusal of a
good Office too improbable thing to speculate
about, we made no allusion TO the report. Had
We dreamed that Mr.. MACHEN really intended to
reject the appointment, we would have added mod
esty and digniied sense of propriety to the other
high qualities for which we then gave him credit

The Irrepres8ible Confict-A Terrible Result barely
AUoided

The Irrepressible Confict-A Terrible Result Barely
Avoided
WASHINGTON, Dec. I, 1850
Yesterday the ''irrepressibe conflict" declared
by W. H. Seward, exhibited an unhappy develop
ment in the Hall of Representatives. The Southern
and Northern members, amidst the excitement of
which spoke in my teegraphic despatch last
night to the "Daily Exchange" suddenly marshall
ed themselves for a conflict, which, in truth, was
imminent. In all the existing scenes in Congress,
there never was witnessed one that pOrtended so
much disaster. There was not, it is true, any per-
sonal violence or rencontre, but there was a most
intense and deep feeling, and general apprehen-
sion of difficulty and preparation for it.
Had any personal violence been offered, there
must have been terrible and bloody catastrophe.
God only knows what would have been the result.
Possibly the breaking up of Congress, and sec
tional war that would have led to a dissolution of
the Union 1t is useless to pooh-pooh, the fact, as
some thoughtess and reckless persons do; train of
gunpowder, fguratvely speaking, has been laid,
and spark-a mere accident-would have ignited
it into general conEagraton.
Great empires have been overturned BY as small
an accident when the situation has been prepared
by long train of circumstances. And who, that
impartialy looks back into the history of the
tonal strife in our country, and sees how it has
been eliminating, or has eliminated can doubt
that are in such situation? The present diff
Guilty may happily pass over; but there is other
solution OF "the conflict" than in one of the two
parties giving up its position. Either the North
must abandon its antslavery agitation politi-
cal hobby and platform, and become the principle
of good neighborhOod and the obligations of good
citizens under the Constitution, or the South must
yield to the encroachments of the North on its
institutions and its State-rights position. Other
wise the very worst may be apprehended. w.

The course of the Southern delegates in Congress
cannot, we are convinced, commend itself to the
better Judgment of their constituents. 1t was
perhaps, not to be expected that in the present ex-
cited state of the public mind, should volunteer
concilatory overtures 10 their political opponents,
or hail them with friendly greetings. But it is the
bounden duty of those who hold, it may be- the
destinies of the Republic in their hands, to deal
with the differences that now inhame and divide
its people, with camness proportional to the
gravity of such issues. Hot words never yet
soothed conflicting passions, and they are beneath
the dignity Of a dssention that may discover
States The discursive and furious discussion
which has occupied the House of Representatives
and delayed its organization, might, therefore,
have we'll been dispensed with. 1t has not shaken
the convictions of any single member whom dis
passionate statement of facts would not have salts
fed: but, the contrary, it has aggravated
sectional hostilities at the most inauspicous
moment, and disquieted and alarmed the country.
1t was eminenty proper that Mr.. CLARK should call
the attention of the House TO the fact that Mr..
SHERMAN and others had subscribed money to
promote the clandestine circulation ofan inccndiary
publication throughout the South. We unequivo-
cally agree with him in thinking that no one who
had secretly sought to forward the evil work which
HELPERS infamous and reasonable book was de-
signed to set on foot is fit for so responsible posi-
ton the Speakershp 1t is Idle for any
man to make public disclaimer of desire to in
terfere with the institutions Of the Slave States
when he has privately committed act which
precludes all further caviling about dubious
questions Of intention. Mr.. SHERMAN has in this
matter done precisely what we, few days ago,
charged the leaders of his party with doing syste-
matically. He defines his principles in terms that
are mainly unohjaconable, and avows purposes
which we may except to but cannot Unexpectedly
quarrel with, while practically he foments the i'll
feeling and encourages the assaults he affects so
sincerely to deprecate. But however exasperating
may be his conduct and that Of his coadiutors, we
submit that no good can be accomplished by the
indiscrminate reproaches and fierce denuncatons
with which it is opposed. If the Northern repre-
sentatives could not the improperly of placing
in the Speakers chair one whose partisan preju-
dices had made him disoyal to the commonw ealth.
and brought him almost to the verge of treason,
andifthey were unwilling to withdraw of their own
motion from the support Of such a candidate, Of
what use is it to insist that their opinions should
be mad known through the medium of a formal
resolution. Whatever bitterness and discomfort
may be smouldering in the hearts of those who
have thus early begun this wordy war; will I'M
happily find time and occasion for full develop
ment, and it is only the madness and folly of fac
ton that would precipitate their outbreak

also similarly submitted. Both were examined

mediate passage recommended. The committee
adjourned to meet at Annapolis on the first We'd
