"WUAT is DEMOCRACY q,

just now this question is being asked
by many of the opposition presses through
the country, and it is amusing to read
their answers, and note their wild specu-
lations with reference tot he'sspeedy down
fall' of party which has breasted the
stormsaofso many fierce political conflicts,
coming forth each time Will largely aug
mented numbers presenting a strong
5er ana more impregnable front, until to-
day it stands proudly forth as the only
Recognised nation organization in the U
Mon,
"What is Democracy" We answer:
1t is the antagonist of monarchy
the advocate Of liberty Of Thought, action
and speech-the defender and upholder
Of the Constitution-the friend and guide
Of the people, from whom all governments
and all power emanate. 1t lived in rev
olutionary times, and amid its stormy con-
ficts bore the standard under which we
conquered in triumph through its desola-
ton. No matter how or when tried, de-
mocracy is ever the same. 1t is to-day
fighting for the same principles which
were enunciated by Jefferson, Jackson,
and Polk, and which rendered their adj
ular suffrage, its vitality flows from the
public will, by which it is sustained, and
through which the great interests of the
country are protected and advanced. No
change of circumstances, no outwar d
events, no misfortune, disappoimtments or
defeats, can disodge it from its deep foun-
dations, or shake it from its chosen seat
in the bosom Of the faithful. Democracy
is the on y true lines ofdemocracy between
repubiicanisln and monarchy-it is the We
ry lite-blood of Republics, and is the incen-
tive to every patriotic deed. 1t was de
mocracy that nerved the arm Of Washing
ington to strike for the liberties Of his
country-lt was democracy that penned
the Declaration of Indepcndence-it is de-
mocracy that has sustained and obtained
| for the Republic its present greatness
and it is democracy alone that will save
the Republic from the ruthless hands OF
| those who seek Its overthrow.
This great Constitutional organization
| is again on its trial. An infuriated, con
| glomeratel, and speckled opposition, long
| ing fgr the flesh pots are now combining
= fac e9st:seg
around Us. Democracy to day is the vic
tin OF the same abuses, The same stale
SANDER, that clustered around a Jefferson
in 1901, and threatened it with prostratiol
and indicated at the Presidential contes
Of 1860, what a dark impenetrable nigh
will enyolve the Republic. Then, ONT
and all Of the faithful, stands firm ant
| when :he time for action arrives, boldly

The Democratic Party.

Mr. EDITOR In looking over many of
the Opposition journals OF the day, and
seeing the old Democratic party traduced
as it is, the weakness OF poor fallen hu
man nature is more than ever brought
forcibly to our mind. In science, as well
as in politics, the grandest achievements
of human intellect and reason have always,
and are still, opposed by weak and ignor-
ant minds. To this class of men, III poll
tics, we would say, look over the pages OF
history, from the birth Of the first politi-
cal party down to the present day, and
tell us, # you can, that since God made
this world of ours, there ever was an equal
in point of achieveing the perfection Of all
human government to the glorious old
Democratic party.
If it were necessary to show you some
of the workings Of the Democratic party,
we would recall to mind the incidents Of
'76-the aggressions Of the mother coun
try upon our own, and tell you that it was
Democratic party that was first to say,
free and independents We would show
you how Democratic party carried the
country through the Revolutionary war,
and when kind Providence smiled upon
our laoors in behalf of liberty and indie
pendence, that a Democratic party showed
to the world, for the first time since the
creation Of man, a government where the
representatives are chosen by the people.
Passing over the long lists of triumphs of
the party, we come down to the time,
when in the halls of Congress some fanat-
les at the n orth threatened to Dissolve the
Union, and form compact of States apart
from the south, and point you to the fact
that it was the Democratic party that first
took the ground in opposing the obnox-
ious principle of prescribing any State on
account Of her peculiar Institutions, and
IN the name of our common country, bold
~ proclaimed the doctrine of ''no North,
no South, no East, no West, but the I'm
ion, now and forever, one and inserpara-
ble." It is true, that factious leaders have
left and unwisely abused the party, but as
oft have they returned to their former
"faith, ASHAMED OF the position into which
misguided reason has led them, and NOR
titled at the most dazzling triumphs Of
their desolating ambition. The party is

| publican institutions, and three quarters

HOW TO BE A MAN.

To ones self a man is to repent Of sin.
Strange as this may sound, it is the first
step towards real manhood. That man
was made tor virtue and not for vice
for holiness and not sin-is evident from
all the adaptations of Lis moral constitu-
ton. But that he has violated the laws
of his moral nature and become positively
vicious is evident to all Now, the only
natural or possible mode Of correcting his
vitiated moral nature is to repent. Nc
other act has the least tendency towards
it. Repentance, therefore, is not only
manly, but is the first truly manly act
human being is capable OF. Such is the
universality Of human wickedness that all
moral acts, previous to repentance, arc
selfish and unworthy Of a man. | am
aware that repentance is looked upon as 81.
weakness but it is the most heroic OF
acts. 1t is self-subj jection-a triumph over
ones worst foes-those Of his own house
hold yea, those of his own heart! / an:
not speaking of the servile covering of the
sycophant; but the honest and generous
return to duty OF the -erring subject OF the
great God-an acknowledgement Of the
rights of the Creator and Benefactor of the
Universe. 1t is establishing the suprema-
cy Of virtue in a selt-refned soul. To
PROSTATE ones self before the Great Jeho-
yah, and ingeniously confess his trans
gressions, and abandon them forever
shows a perception ofright and evinces al
integrity of purpose which is truly exalt-
! ed and manly. But for moral being to
| persist in wrong, against the dictates OF
his Judgment, and under the lash of
guilty conscience, argues anything but
manliness.
Viewed by the standard of universal
/ jYic iC IN His heart Il q
moral wreck, and his ignorance of the fact
is one of its most melancholy effects
| Now, I ask, if the only retrograde process
and that process approved and urged by
1 every power of the soul, is not manly
process / say, then, to the persevering
transgressor Of Gods law. sShow thyseli
man." and repent Of your sin. To the
self-enslaved drunkard or epicure, | would
still say, show thyself man, and tramplcS
idols in the dust. Repentance, meanness
What else is honorable 2 Is justice
meanl What faculty of your mind says
it? But repentance is only justice to God
and man. Every sin is blow at the
Throne of God and a stab at the heart OF
man. Sin is an intraction of the law thai
guards the throne, and protects the inte-
rests OF the universe, and its criminality
and ill-desert is measured only by the
magnitude Of those interests. And can it
be deemed manly to persevere in trans
gressions Every power and faculty o;
mans tribune nature answers, no a
! wretched sinful race cries out, not All
the angelic world above, and all the de-
| nloniac tribes beneath, unite their testirno-
ny against the manliness OF contin aed
| transgresslon.

Hossuth and The W'ar-Neurozity Of
Enyland.-Louis Kossuth lately made one
OF his brilliant speeches at Manchester,
England, concerning the war in ltal aly.-
The following is a brief sketch Of his main
points
lie counselled England to strict neu-
trality in the present contest, not, howey-
er from any regard to the interests Of
England, but in the conviction that the
sympathies Of the British rulers are with
Austria. He distinctly charges them on
this score, maintaining that they have new
er expressed word of friendliness ur anx-
iety IN regard to the fate Of Italy, while
they had manifested the profoundest solic-
itude for Austria.
Kossuth's position is, Of course, that of a
Hungarian. lie hopes to see the ferments
and agi;ations Of Italy extended to his ma
tive country the House of Austria is to-
| him the dragon of history, tmtid and red
with crime, against which he has thunder
| ed for years. and he is averse to seeing it
strengthened, even by moral approval.
In this view, the burden of his adjuration
to England is, 'sif you cannot help Italy,
| tor heavens sake do not help Austria, the
/ oppressor of Italy. Do not allow preiu-
dices against France to place you on the
| side Of tyranny and wrong"
Kossuth draws an ingenious distinction
between the French and Austrian govern
ments; for in France the despotism is per-
sonal and temporary, while the nation is
essentially free, radiating the light OF
science and art to all the world but in
Austria, the des2otism is absolute, part
and parcel Of the national life, depressing
and blighting whatever comes within its
influence. Admitting, however, that the
governments are equally odious, the fact
in itself would be an argument against the
interference of England. If the taskmas-
ters go to war, says Kossuth, the year
each other to pieces if they please. He
adds at the same time, that he knows moth
ihg of the intention of Louis Napoleon
although he believes that his interests were

A Young Lady Rescued from the
MCrnlOIS.

The Jasper, Qowa) Free Press, of June
second, says:
A company of returning Pixies Peakers
passed through here last Sunday, having
under their protection young lady, whom
they had taken from a Mormon train, a
few miles west Of Newton, q short time
previous. 1t appears that, on last Sunday
morning, as the Pixies Peak boys were
crossing Skunk Bottom, they passed a train
of Mormons, who were busily engaged
men, women, and children-in endeavor~
ing to extricate a number Of the wagons
that were stuck fast in the mud. While
stopping FOR a moment to witness the eX-
crtions f the Saints, they accidentally
overheard young girl, OF about nineteen
exclailn. 81 wish [ was drowned in that
slough !" Their interest was at once awak-
ened and they interrogated her as to why
she made such foolish wish. She replied
that she was tired of life ; that she had
started from Iowa City for Salt Lake, with
her father, who is Mormon eloer; that
she had been compelled to walk all the
way thus far and that when she expressed
a wish to leave the train and return to the
CITY they invariably stopped her mouth
She was Informed by the Peakers that if
she desired to return to Iowa City, she
SlOulU go BACK With lneln, 10 WHICH size
replied that she desired very much to re-
turn. The Mornons numbering some fiji
ty men, gathered around, armed with guns
| knives pistols, &c, &c, and declared that
she should not go back.
The Peak boys, nothing daunted, armed
| themselves with guns and revolvers, and
announced their determination to take the
| girl at all hazards, and proceeded to carry
out their intention. For time fight seem
ed inevitable but finally Mormon courage
gave way and the boys gnceeeded in plac-
! Ing'fne glfl safety ut1def the4r protecIlon.
EShe then informed them that the Saints
! had a trunk and other baggage belonging
to her, which they at once proceeded to
obtain. The followers of Brigham boldly
announced their intention to fight before
they would permit the things to be taken
from their wagons.
A show Of guns and revolvers, however
cooled their ardor, and Mormon courage
oozed out at their finger S ends, while the
boys proceeded to transfer the baggage
to their own wagons-the Saints looking
on and uttering terrible imprecations
against the perpetrators Of the horrid out
rage, as they termed it. After obtaining
all they sought, the rescuers drove away
with the young lady in their possession
leaving the Mormons to console themselves
as best they could in their loss.
The Pixies Peakers who were engaged
in the rescue, who numbered only aboa
! twenty-eight men, We're from Indiana, Hi
nois, and Iowa City.

The National Finances.

The receipts into the Treasury of the
United States thus far in the fiscal year
greatly exceed the amount generally antici-
pated at the commencement of the last
session of Congress, and encourage a con-
fdent belief that the Government will be
relieved from the financial embarrassments
which were the legitimate consequences
Of the extravagant appropriations Of the
black-republican Congress of 1857 and
the financial crisis. The estimates of re-
ceipts into the Treasury, presented to Con-
gress by the Secretary of the Treasury,
Hon. Howell Cobb, have been substan-
tiated by facts, and that officer is entitled
to great credit for his sightedness into
a subject on which 50 large number Of
persons doubted his Judgment. The pro
posed financial measures of the National
Administration have been greatly misap-
pretended. While Mr.. Buchanan, from
the standpoint OF national economy, pro
posed general modifica in our tariff
policy, Mr.. Cobb, Secretary Of the Treas
was to husband the means Of the Govern
ment under existing circumstances gave
evidence of great ability as profound fl
ger The result of the policy inaugurated
is now being developed. The National
Administration has not only shown that
it knew how to ezpend money in main-
tanning the honor of the nation at home
and abroad, but the favorable condition of
the national Treasury shows that it is
able by wise and prudent financial meas
ures to replenish an exhausted treasury
and place the credit of the Government
on firm basis. When all the facts are
fully presented, the public will not fail to
do justice alike to the Chief Magistrate OF
the nation and the able and sagacious
head Of the Treasury Department.
