be made n trihe more tangible by a paraphrase,
thus "a National Democrat is one who has
no mind, principle or purpose of his own-who
has neither the wish nor the right to criticise
either the policy or the measures of his party
who allows others to think for him. without
troubling himself about what they think-who
does what he is told without caring about its
purpose or tendency--who goes where he is
driven, follows where he is led and swears to
the nfallibility of the constituted authorities
of his party" But to paraphrase the idea of
the text is like "giding refined gold" There
it stands-a monument of Democratic progress,
and an eloquent refutation of the old-fashioned
idea that the sublimity of simplicity can only
be found under Absolutism. The Sultan or the
Car, Napoleon or the Pope, has no more sub
servient subject than is portrayed in this pic
ture of "Natonal Democrat"
The recognition of this principle of unques-
toned submission has made the party so ready
to assume new and discard old principles
Nothing else could have led the party organ in
this county to oppose the repeal of the mis-
souri, Compromise" and to denounce the Pierce
administration for attempting it, and immedi-
ately afterwards become meek and humble
advocate of this same measure. Nothing less
than this could have made it an advocate Of
popular sovereignty and then in few months
denounce the doctrine by the title of popular
sovereignty run mad" 1t must be a blessed
principle to those who can understand and be-
lieve it.

"By the term National Democracy we mean those
who hold that the members of the party are bound TO
acquesce in whatever ~ party nlay deem p,op-
err uader he guidance q lis regularly constituted au-
mories 10 pursue, without regard to local prejudice or
personal caprice"
The "National Democracy" of Illinois have
recently issued an address to the brethren con-
tanning the above extract. 1t embodies prin-
ciple which has for many years been acted upon
by the democratic party, but this is the first
time we remember to have seen it openly ac-
knowledged and endorsed. The throwing over
board OF John p. Hale for refusing to be par
~ to the annexation of Texas, and the subse-
quent and similar operation performed upon
John Atwocd, in New Hampshire, were trans
actions based upon this same principle-the
right of the party to cay what individuals shall
believe and how they shall act, and the ignor-
ing of all personal opinions and responsible
ties.
This democratic doctrine is now laid down in
plain language 1t tells the whole story SO
clearly and simply that any one may understand
It. And the definition seems to be truthful and
just as it is lucid. It, meaning might perhaps,

THE MESSENGER HoRsEs.-We learn that q
gentleman, fully competent to the undertaking
is preparing history of Imported Messenger
and his immediate descendants, for publication
in the american Stock Journal. Old Messen-
ger was one of the best horses ever imported
and his blood may be traced in many of the
finest horses of the day. Probably no import
ed horse has done so much to improve the road
ster stock of the country as Messenger, and we
hope to see as full and complete history OF
him as Mr. Linsley gave of the Justin Morgan.
Persons having definite information in regard
to Messenger and his descendants, are request
ed to send the same to the office of the Ameri-
can Stock Journal, 40 Fulton street, New
York.

UrAH.-fhere is a prospect that the Mormon
trouble will be settled through the aid of mon
ey. Brigham Young is reported to be willing
to dispose of his Happy Valley for good
round sum in cash, to be duly and truly paid in
hand. There is company ready to buy out
Utah, and to make decent place of it, the
Mormons to vacate it, and to depart for some
other region, name and place as yet unknown.
Brigham is one of the smartest fellows about,
and if he had only remained at home, and con-
tented himself with one wife, he might have
become President; but he's gone too far for
that, now. 1t would be lucky thing for gov
eminent if he could be brought out, for we do
not see how, on the popular sovereignty princi-
pie, to say nothing of woman's rights, Utah
could have been kept out of the Union partic-
ularly if few slaves were allowed to live there.
The company, it is limited, require little gov
eminent aid, and we do not believe that either
Americans, Democrats or Republicans would
object to such aid being granted. We are all
so interested i'll getting quietly rid of the many.

to the Anabaptists of the sixteenth century
whose successors are perfectly clear from the
social excuses of that time. To have man,

GONE TO EUROPE.-Hon. VIM. II. Seward
sailed for Europe on the 7th inst. He is said
by some to have left the country to avoid "po-
litical complications" 1t is nothing new for
the democrats to find some Interior motive for
every speech and motion of Mr. Seward. This
shows that they fear him and are willing tacitly
to acknowledge his great ability. Cromwell
was reputed to be seeking the Lord" when he
was merely hunting for corkscrew; and so
Mr. Seward cannot 60 to England without hav-
ing so crafty end to serve. BE this as it may
he will return in season to discharge all his pub
lie and official duties, and at the same time to
lay out plenty of work for his political oppo-
nents.
