EDITOR DEMOCRAT In the news from the
East fears are expressed that we may become
involved IN the European emUroglio. Tho
we are in no condition to resent injury or re-
pei invasion, thanks to an imbecile Admins
tratiOn, yet. let what may come, the SOW
ereigns will always be found ready to pro-
tect their liberty from any assault, made by
foreign foes, or internal enemies
The Lime Pointer and Weller have been
very sociable oflate. The Custom House or
gan, after having tried to saddle the Lime
Point swindle" on Weller, suddenly changed
its course 10y insisting that the "swindle' was
no "swindle" at all. because Mr.. Broderick
eifectually interviewed Tne credit, then. be-
! longs to MIR Broderck The reason why the
| bargain was not consummal ed, was in conse-
quence of the exorbtant demand mad by
the nominal owner of the property; but the
federaIists think that public robbery is no
disgrace tnat if government desires to pur.
chase, it is the duty of representatives to en-
hunce the price; that representatives are not
elected to protect, but to aid in plunderiny,
the public treasury BY doing this they VIC
lete sound principles Of law, acknowledged to
be such the world over; but tie federalists
are excusanle; they are not likely to be con
sistent in anything but hostility to popular
sovereignty. In all cases. where the public
good requires, property can be taken for pub
lie uses. If the owner refuses to sell for
reasonable price, equity steps in and settles
the difficulty Government can take Lime
Point; and he compensation to be paid is not
governed by the uses to which the property
is to be applied but by the actual, naked
valuation Such practice is repugnAnt to the
cVnsciences of federasts; for it prevents col
lusiOn and fraud, and saves the people from
the Vaccinations of e win ct ais
Speaking OF 3 win. he is said to be excel
lent at letters. To secure n re election to IL
position he has not honored he has arranged
matters to prevent the nomination of men,
ininieal to his personal interest lie ad
dressed Judge -, inquiring if the Judge
would aid his re- election to the United States
Senate, "ttco years hence" The Judge re
pied-he would not pledge himself to any
man two years hence" Immediately on the
receipt of the answer, G win ordered the Ad-
ministration organ not to trust Judge -;
and hence the Judge did not get the nomina-
tion for State Senator If man should
pledge himself to vote for political time
server two years hence" the presumption Is,
he would e compelled to vote prior to the
expiration OF that time for he could not,
reasonably. refuse to do a thug Immediately,
which he is pledged to do any time. The
Lime Pointer, like all men Of his class, has no
confidence in the masses. The people may |
be sure that the Administration nominees
are pledged to Gwn; and as they (the peo
ple) utterly despise Gwin they will cut his
ticket. dead The State Prison candidate,
Weller, dislikes being choked off and as he
and Gwin are very loving just now, dis
graceful combination may be effected We'll
had some little reputation as n hwyer; but
ne lost it all in state Prison--the seizure of
he prison in violation of contract was unaw
u, and Weller could not help knowing it
nut, as it took mary red out Of his pocket, t
ne went in for the dispensing of patrona e,
Ned sng for Cover. at the cost of many
to the people. Its hoped the peo-
pie will remember these things and, while
rebuking the corrupt Federalists, will not
overlook matters nearer ut home BEL.
