Democracy and the Tarid.

Although the existence of the present Con-
gress terminates on the 4lh inst, nothing,
down to this present writing. has been done
towards meeting the exigencies of the Treasu-
ry by Treasury Note Bill, by Loan Bill, or
by revision of the existing insufficient tariff
The whole difficulty lies with the Democracy
They have clear and decided maioritics in
both Houses of Congress. What binders
them, then, from carrying into practical eff
feet the principles of Democracy on the sub
jcct of the tariff, as laid down in the Cincin-
natl and previous Democratic National Plat
forms? If the tariff portions of those Plat
forms meant anything-if they embodied. as
they professed to do. the principles Of the Dem
ocratic purity, as party, on that important
suhject-if they were not concocted and
wordcd for the express purpose of deceiving
the people of the North, or of both sections
what hlnders we say, the representatives of
the party in Congress from urainq in some
course of action, either in revising the
existing tariff. as recommended by the Presi-
dent and Secretary OF the Treasury, or in
disregarding those recommendation, letting
the tariff alone, and "going the whole figure"
on loans?
There can be but one answer to this unes-
ton. They do not. cannot, unite ia carrying
out thee principles OF Democracy in regard to
tariff, because Democracy has no principles
on that suGect-no more than it has on the
subject of the currency, territorial extension,
internal Improvement, or any other subject

Mr.. Churchwell. the special agent of the

but the Administration has been anxious TO
ascertain the state of affairs in that county.

In regard to the debate in the Senate. the

fruit of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT bill The fatal
experiment of North IN traders upon Sonth-

destroyed the Democracy in 1856, when the
party was saved by the skin of its teeth,
through the personal popularity of Mr.. Bu-
chanan. Now the party leaders North and
South. in about the safe land marks of his
administration and in reviving these territo-

Indebtedness to Democracy at the elections
in August next? Since 1851 upwards of
twenty five millions of the public lands,
which are the common property of al The
States. have been given away to eiepen
States, within whose limits the lands are stu
ated. These twenty-five millions of acres
were worth. in the aggregate, not less than one
hundred millions Of dollars. And yet Tennessee
and the other elder States, wherein no public
lands happen to be situated. have been de
prived by the Presidents veto. in pursuance
of the uniform Democratic policy, of the in
significant donations, relatively speaking, for
the advancement of the cause of agriculture,
which were made to them by Congress, in the
vetoed bill So long as d mocracy rnles. so
long will this most unjust and iniquitous
policy prevail in regard to the public lands.
Let all, therefore, who recognize the gross
inequality and Injustice of that policy-let

equal rights in respect to hepublic lands,
and of his States having her inst share in
the benefits derived from the disposition OF
those lands. go to the polls in August and

The last Knoxville Register announces the
appointment of Mr.. Churchwell as Minister

We trust that the rumor is altogether un-
founded. and that the Democratic party and
the Administration will b. spared the calami-
ty of appointing to place of high trust, a
man who, to the best of our knowledge and
belief, never drew an honest breath morally
Or politically. We have no patience with that
trucking after party which prompts men to
eulogize every act done in the name of Dem
ocraey; and when the Knoxville Register lauds
the appointment of Mr.. Churchwel as the
best that conld have heen made, il deserves
all the cond mnation TO which that gentle
man is entitled. Our love for Democracy
can never influence US to defend an outrage,
no matter by whom committed. II the APP
