JencTsOn'> Principles.

Some two weeks since, in speaking of
the principles Of Thomas Jefferson, we
said, "Now it is well known that .jcficr-
"son opposed the extension Of slavery
"and did all he could to confne it to
"the then slave States, and that he be.
"licvcd that Congress could and should
"prohibit it in the Territories" The
democrat affects to deny our statement
We were criticlsing resolution of the
Democratic State Convention, which
said that the Democrats adhered "to the
"poltical principles inaugurated by JEFF.
ferson.' We would ask the Democrat
if the "poitical principles with regard
to slavery in the States and Territories
were not "inauguratcd," when the arti.
Gle: Of Confederation and the Constitu.
ton were adopted? Also, il Jefferson
did not originate, or at least endorse the
principles of the 'ordinancc or 1877" p
Did not the ordinance Of 81 apply to all
the Territory at that time belonging to
the United States? Did not CONGRESS-
re-cnact the ordinance of - at the first
session of Congress, after the adoption of
che Constitution After answerlno
these questions according to tie truth of
history, will it explain or prove its
assertion that Jefferson was in favor Of
"1eaving the question of slavery" Gin the
Territories) "to be decided by the people
themselves We will also ask the
Democrat if it will affirm that Jefferson
favored the extension of slavery or if he
favored slavery at all -?

Such are in brief the provisions of
this very important measure-an act,
which, though not perfect in all its de-
tails, is correct in principle and will be
found to be, l doubt not, of an incstima-
bic benefit to the people. As both this
act and the Code of Civil Practice pass.

be "scared up anywhere" A bill pro-

The Late School Elections.

Hon. Thos. H. Benton, Secretary of
the Board OF Education, has issued cir
cular, dated the l4th inst, in which he
says the election Of sub .directors on the
9th inst. was legal, notwithstanding the
assumption that the election was illegal
because the five days previous notice re.
qured by law either was no. or could
not be legally given. In all elections or
meeting where the time for holding them
is liked by law, the notice, though prop.
er and useful in itself, Is not essential.
1t is simply directory, and failure to
give 1t does not invalidatc the election.
he also states that in all sub.dis,rcts
which failed to elect on the first Monday
IN March, or which elected on some 9TH
err day the sub director elected last year
will hold over, and become a member Of
the Board Of Directors Of the township
district far the present year. The law
provides that "a;y officer whose term of
service is prescribed by this act, shall
continue in Office till his successor is
qualified" In all these cases whe: e
there is any doubt as to the validity of
the election, or where no election has
been held, he recommends that sub d.
rectors continue in office under the fore
going provisions. The Board of Direct
ors ir Office on the first day Of March,
should continue to act in that capacity
until the uew board is organized, lat which
time the officers of Presi len, Vice Pres
ident, Secretary and Treasurer, as crca-
ted by the act Of December 18th, 1888,
cease to exist The new Board of Di-
rectors should organize and enter upon
their duties Immediately after the first
Monday in March, but in case they have
failed to do SOFT will be proper for the
old Board to act till the new is perfect

The Homestead Bill.

The House of Representative. in Con-
gress has passed a Homestead bill, giving
100 acres of Sl,25 lands or 50 acres Of
$3.50 land, to every male over u wears
of age, TO- foreigners who shall have de-
clared their intention to become citizens
and to widows. The committee on Pub
lie Lands in the Democratic Senate re-
commend the striking out of the House
bill and the insertion of bill which
will exclude from its benefits single men
over u years of age, widows without
children, and foreigners who may declare
their intentions after the passage of the
bill, and only allows those who are rccip.
tents of lands under the bill to receive
alternate sections. From the action Of
Congress on this matter, our foreign res.
idents can see which party it is that
faTors them the most. The Democrats
would exclude them from the benefits of
the law.

Mr.. DANIELs:-I was somewhat
pleased at my political friend, the editor
Of the Cedar Democrat, for l noticed in
his last issue another patriotic spasm.-'
| do not however consider his case dana
gerous, for the commissions were of
mild nature. lie appears to feel that
the "history Of his country has been
wonderfully mutilated, in representing
that the quotations alluded to were from
the Constitution Of the United States,
instead Of the Declaration of Independ.
ence. The Hon. Editor will please ac-
cept my thanks for the timely correc-
ton; but at the same time trust he will
remember that the Declaration of hide
pendenc. is the germ from whence
sprang the Constitution, and should be
revered equally with its offspring
We think the editor spoken of is better
adapted to observing tcchnicalties, than
rctracting falschoods Allow me in con-
clusion to remark that l sincerely hope
he will be equally as prompt in rctract.
ing those objectionable falschoods, that
he has spread broadcast before the pub
lie. Will lie do it? or arc the funda.
mental principles Of truth, anita onistic
to his profession as Democratic editor?

n9- The last Democrat gives az plur.
ibus unum' jesse, because he quoted .
part of the Declaration of Independence
as part Of the Constitution. This
comes with good grace from the paper
that did not know that Bogo,a was in
New Grenada. Some men have been
brought up to consider the Declaration o.
Independence as the offspring of the
same revolutionary fathers as the Consti.
tuition, and that the latter was to carry
out the principles of the former. We
presume our pondent is one of this
kind. We would like to know if tho
Democrat thinks that the principles Of
the Declaration Of independence should
be held as less sacred BY the American
people than those Of the Constitution.
Since the above was in type we have
received note from i" F. p,urihus
tnum,' which will be found in a,otbo Or

gives several extracts from the "Im

eight Republican members Of Congress
endorsed the sentiments of those extracts
and argues FROM these premises that the
Republican party endorse the same. -
Now the fact is that the Republican
members Of Congress never endorsed any
book containing the extracts that arc
given. They did endorse Il Compendium
of Helpers book, but that Compendium
does not contain the pretended extracts.
This attempt to hold men responsible for
that which they never did endorse, but
shows that the Democrats dare not attack
the principles of the Republican party,
but they will make slanderous charges
upon the Republicans and endcavor to
prevent the Democratic masses from
learning what the real principles of the
