" WHAT A DEMOCRATIC PAPER SAYS"

Such is the cyer-recurring cmblazonmcnt Of
the Opposition press-"what" the Southern
Citizen says; or the Washington States" says;
or the Charleston Mercury" says; or the Rich.
mond Enquirer says; or the Alabama Sig
nal" says; or the Flag" says; or the Times
says; or the advertiser says-or some other
"Demoeratic paper say. Indeed, the whole
staple of the Opposition" argument consists
Of the out-spoken patriotic protests Of the De.
mocratic press against the invasion Of Demo-
cratic policy, or the violation of Democratic
principles by Democratic officials.
1t is true, too, that all the objections urged
by the Democratic press, against this Admins
tration, are not a feather in the scale against
the objections urged by that same independent,
unsought unpprchamJlc press, against an OPP
position which has no principles Of its own;
and which bushlcssy avows itself the advo-
cate OF the uorst parts of Democratic NAL llca-
sancc.
If the Democratic papers" are such high
authority with 1.-The Opposition" pray why do
they not refresh their readers with what they
say Of hdeous conspiracy Of political free
hooters, who have banded themselves together
for no purpose under the sun but to plumber
the public Treasury and revel in the spoils Of
iniquitous taxation "a conspiracy rs reckless
as that of Catcsby, which steals an honorable
name and binds itself together, like the asso-
ciates Of Guy Fawkes, by oatl Of secrecy, and
impudcntly parades the badges of virtue as
DISCUSSES of its horrible objects.
Language cannot convey an adequate idea of
that desperation which would not continc
itself to the murdcrous gnnpopder plot, by
which wicked Stuart, and vacilating Par
Lament were to be blown into eternity, but
would nearly bury our American Constitution
and American liberties, in the ruins Of the
Democratic party-of Democratic principles
and Democratic policy
II is the glory Of the Democratic press that
it darcs to expose the errors of even Democratic
Administrations and rcbuke the wandcrngs Of
-honored Democratic chiefs. The people will
not fail to perceive that herein lies their secur-
ity-a free prov, that will not disguise their
perils or ialtcr with them in Il matter which
concerns their rights and the integrity Of their
Constitutions 1t is the glory of the Demo-
cratic party that it sustains such press ard
dcrides the canting hypocrisy of an unscrupu-
lous opposition which would convert this shield
into sword.

We copy the following article from the
Richmond Examiner. one OF the leading dem
ocratic papers of Virginia. Such notices
of a political opponent are not often made
by democrats:
GEN. SCOTT SENT To THE PACIFIC.-A few
DAYS ago Gen. Scott was at West Point
where the cadets were preparing TO celebrate
with great ecidt, the entrance of the great
American General into the city OF Mexico.
An unexpected c, IMPLICATION of the Island
OF San Juan affair rendered il necessary for
Mr. Buchanan To request by telegraph, Gen.
SCOTS presence at Washington. In lcss than
twenty hours Gen. Scott was there, aud alter
"A short conference with the President, il be-
came evident that the presence of a man Of
rather more experience aud talent than the
brave, but not over clever. Harvey was need
ed on the Pacific. Gen. Scott rendered his
valuable service to the Prcsidenct, and in
less We believe, than five days AFTER leaving
West Point, Gen. Scott is on his way TO the
Pacific, to extIicaie Harvey from bis difficult
ties and prevent the possibility of any serious
difficulty between this country uBd Great
Britain.
This expedition of Gen. Scott Is almost
without precedent. The NEAREST approach To

from England 10 India To pat down that most

Eg The Somerville (Tenn) Democrat, re-
plying 10 charges against Judge DOUGLAS
says
They say he is a more dangerous foe to the
South than Seward; il he is, the united de-
mocracy'o Of the North are more dangerous
enemies to the South than the Biack Republi-
cans; the whole northern democracy. with
very few exceptions, occupy the precise posi-
ton of Judge Douglas.
We desire the reader 10 mark these admis-
sioDs. We have. on former occasions. showed
that the democracy of northern States "oc-
cupy the precise position Of Judge DouGIAs,"
and that they are as dangerous enemies to
the South the black republicans" The
southern d,mocrat who regards Mr. DOUGLAS
" as a more dangerous foe TO the South than
SEWARD" has no excuse for supporting. or
cooperating with the northern democracy
To be consistent he must oppose the great
mass of his northern allies as well as DoUG-
LAS himself But, will the southern demo-
Gratis who are so industriously operating
against the Little Giant " do this? Far
from it. They are not unwilling to destroy
prominent aspirant to the honors of the Presi-
dency, but you won't catch them "cutting
away" from the men whose votes are needed,
no matter how warmly they espouse the doc
trines of Mr.. DOUGLAS.

members of bis Cabinet, and our friends have
protested in our behalf; yet. all the satisfac-
'tion ace eUer got that If different construction
-scas placed upon the Lato, The advertisements acosd
go 10 the NationaI Era newspaper,
We doubt not the true reason for the ain
famous misconstructlon" complained OF by the
States. is to be found in the fact tina. the lad
,vertisements would go to the National Era
newspaper There certainly could have
been no design to punish the hntelligncer which
has always, in speaking of the administration,
most studiously observed the courtesies and
prophecies. which have distinguished its
career. The object was to deprive the Era Of
its just rights under the law. To do this, the
expounder of the law becomes its miscon-
struer: and the executor Of the law its viola
tor. What better can be expected of sham
democracy and its creature?
