The DEMOCRATIC PARrY.-The New
York Daily Ne,0s, in reviewing the history
of the Democratic party and its opponents,
says, let every one examine the principles of
every party, howsoever named, which have
opposed the Democratic party from the
formation of the government until the pre-.
sent time, and the doctrines they have
taught distinctive from and in opposition to
the doctrines of Democracy, and see if any
of these can be carried into practice without
giving to Congress constructive powers, or
powers not directly given by the Constitu-
ton. Are we not correct, then, I'm claiming
that our party not only now is but always
has been the only constitutional party in the
country? Why, then, we ask, are not all
men who love the Constitution of their
country, and wish to be governed by it, not
with US?

MaCaulay's Opinion of the United States
Government.

& rom the Southern Literary Messenger, for March
The published writings of the late Lord
Macaulay, though they treat so largely of
political science, and contained so many di>
rect or incidental expressions of their au-
thor's estimate of other governments besides
his own nowhere give his views, with any
fullness, of the Democratic institutions of
our own country. Indeed we do not call to
mind remark or allusion on this subject
which is sufficient to indicate even the gem
eral complexion of bis opinions, which the
American people were prepared to receive
with an unusual degree of attention from a
writer so popular among themselves. There
can be no doubt that Lord Macaulay's
History of England has been read and adj
mired by vastly greater number of persons,
speaking the English tongue, on this than
on his own side OF the Atlantic.
This omission in his writings, if so it may
be called, will no longer exist. The follow
ing letter, which we have been permitted to
present to the American people in the
pages Of the Messenger, fills up the chasm.
1t belongs to an occasional correspondence,
of some years standing, between Lord Ma.
cauay and the Hon. Henry S. Randall, of
New York, author of the life of Jefferson.
None of these letters were made in the least
degree confidential at the time of their writ
ing. Lord Macaulay's, free and voluntary in
their tone implied no wish for secrecy. This
being the case, literary friends of MIR. Ram
dali very properly urged, after death had
renewed the eminent historian, that the
world was entitled TO the deliberate opinions,
not known to be elsewhere expressed, of a
man so gifted, so deeply versed in the teach
iDgs of history, and so unquestionably hons
est and untruckling on question of momen-
tous importance to the human race.

BY MARY E. BACHELOR.

Oh, who is this spirit with dainty sweet hand,
So royalty born of sunshine and showers,
Scattering her largess of bloom in the land,
Till old earth is youthfully garnished with
flowers?
'Tis Spring, the bewitching young bride of the
Sun, skies !
On pathway of rainbows she sped from the
The angels had left the gates golden undOne,
And she sprung to the passion that yearned
in his eyes.
Her sandals are buttoned with diamonds of
dew; (gold
Meath the kiss of her feet the buttercups grew,
And violets their cool azure vases unrolled.
Like soft, rosy cloud, the apple trees blow,
Their buds all ablush with the wooings of
May,
Like priests when they kneel in the chancel
to pray.
The wind Keeling up from the dangerous South,
Sweet drunken with fragrance and ripe dewy
wine,
Folds kiss upon kiss on the reddening mouth
OF the rose, till it crimsOns with rapture
divine.
The daisies put up their wee lips for kiss,
The pansies have waited his coming for hours,
But weary of sweetness and fainting with bliss
He nestles to sleep in dreamland of flowers.
The world is so radiant with beautiful things,
Uprushing in brightness, in valley and lea,
The bursting of blossoms, the flashing of wings,
The dash of glad waters, the hum of the bee,
While music, sweet music. sounds over the
earth

So joyous the p8an of gladness and mirth,

These goldenful days with their shimmering
bloom
So deeply their delicate presence has stirred
Ny being to beauty and scattered its gloom,
I sing in my glee like wild, careless bird.
For who could be sad in this sweet sunny time,
When flowers are springing from every green
sod?
On sunshine and fragrance my soul seems to
climb
To heaven and talk with the angels of God.

And float on the breath of the roses away
To the spring time of childhood, innocent years,
When life lay before me beautiful May.

Ab0litiOnism Illustrated--Tw Views
of the G ase.

We cut the following from Washington
paper. The fact was related by Judge c.,
United States Senator from Vermont. The
morning he was leaving home to enter upon
his duties in that city, straight faced dea>
con, who looked upon the whole South as a
great pandemonium, called on him and said /:
"Now, Judge, l want you to do all in
your power to abolish slavery"
"Wel," said the Judge, how shall 1
proceed?"
"Oh, 1 don't know but you must abol-
ish it. It's great curse, and must be abol-
ished. You know more about the law than
do. The church is my stronghold, but you
understand national matters, and can devise
some plan, and know it."
"The only way see to abolish it," said
the Judge, 6" is to buy all the slaves and set
them free"
"Well 60 in for that have a law passed
that the North shall buy them, and then
this trouble will end. Yes, you go 10 strong
for that, Judge"
"Just as you say, deacon. 1 will agree
to it in moment, and will stand my share
of the expense. Here is Woodstock with
three hundred inhabitants, and this town
would be called on for about $780, 900, and
l will urge it before the Senate"
The good deacon opened his mouth, then
his eyes, allowed bis tongue to escape from
one corner of his face, scratched his head,
and tapped impatiently on the floor with bis
foot. As the Judge was leaving the room
the deacons power ofspeech came to him and
he called out:
"Oh, say, Judge, ] guess you'd better let
slavery alone. The poor black fellows are
better Oft in the South than up here in this
cold climate"
There are several just such deacons in this
country.

Upon the reception Of the message, de-
bate took place, the Republican members
attacking the position assumed by the Exc
cutive, and the Democratic members de-
tending it. The resolution was finally re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee, with
power to report at any time.

TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 9, 1890.
THE CRESCENT.

With the issue Of to-day we begin the publica
ton of the thirteenth annual volume Of the New
ORLEANS DAILY CRESCENT, and we will not feigr
the modesty Of hesitating to express ON this occa
sion the pride we feel in what the paper is. 1t il
before the reader and 1t speaks for ITSELF so far as
the crowded columns of its wide sheet may testify
to its appreciation by the business community.
For its circulation far and wide, as journal ot
popular reading, the jar and clatter Of the new
and fast press, which we were compelled to pur,
chase last fall to meet the increased demands o.
subscribers, speaks in practical tones eachliyelong
night, as it rushes with all the speed which steam
can give It through its prescribed task.
True to Specification Of its title, the Crescent
has been steadily growing in all its departments Of
business, ia growing, and will keep on growing, i
the efforts of the future are justified by such re-
suits as those Of the past are, for 1t has become
what it IL. We can ask for no speedier ratio o.
constantly increasing prosperity than the steady
and rapid progress which it has maintained during
the later past. That is getting ahead fast enough
As the last volume commenced under the happiest
auspices Of progress, so does this whiolris begun
to-day, and we shall be more than satisfied if a
year hence we find that the Crescent has added as
many to the lists of its friends, patrons and read
ers, as we can boast to-day that it has during the
twelve months past We expect, however, to be
vastly more than satisfied" for during the win
ter our "insttution has been putting an acceler
ated progress which has fairly outrun all reasonable
calculation. Let it go ahead, though, and we will
strive to keep pace with its headway career by en-
deayoring to make it worthy of its extended popu-
larity and expanded business.

TALK ON CHANGE.

It was rather quiet on the flags of rue Caronde-
let yesterday. The Afrieas adYices were COM
mented on, but as they were only of two days
later date, there was very little feeling eyinced re-
garding them. Later advices are now due by the
Nova Scotian of the ed February. There is some
talk that the political aspect Of Europe Is far from
satisfactory. There is telling what week or
even day may bring FORTH If Emperor Napoleon
feels inclined for another fight, there will be ex-
cuses for 1t. Some folks talk that he does not care
a sous about the peace Of Europe any more than
to secure the stability Of his own Empire. Every
thing may appear to be very peaceable on the
European continent, but we should much prefer to
learn OF many questions now apparently open, as
being in course Of settlement. However, no one
in particular the flags Of Tchoupitoulas, Poydras
and New Leyee streets care a pound of bacon
about the Nephew Of my Uncle, or any other ruler
in Europe. On the great leyee there was con-
siderable briskness yesterday, irrespective of for
eign affairs. The gimlet rangers were actively
employed, and do not appear to care the value of
three cent piece for ship loads of intelligence
from the other side of the Atlantic. They are
aware that all the saccharine Is good for what they
now hold it. They are not watching for the smoke
Of every steamer coming across the ocean to know
whether they must rise or decline in their figures
The talk is that the receipts of sugar and moasses
are tolerable free for haf-crop year. attended by
a most extraordinary frost in the middle Of Novem
ber. The big book will be out in q few days. As
we place some confidence in the book statement
much more than we do in book 1earning-it is
hoped that our several parish officers, who make
returns every year, will take more pains the pre-.
sent year in making up returns Of the crop. Mon
seur Champonier's statements and returns are
considered the standard for the sugar interest.
There is from time to time compaints-giving
rise to good deal Of talk-regarding port charges
in this good city Of ours. As regards port charges
they are complained Of everywhere. The talk is,
however, that the pilots Of the port and district of
New Orleans, located at the Balize, are doing
about as well as most pilots, although they have to
live in low, marshy place, well and bountifully
supplied with mosquitoes and other luxuries.
The climate, however, is very mild, and from the
figures below We think that plotting must be very
good business, only one-haf Of the earnings are
required to meet expenses. We are at q loss to
know whether there thirty eight pilots or eleven
who receive this profit. However, we are pretty
well satisfied in our own mind that pilots generally
earn their money, but We are decidedly given to
talking against all rnonopolies.
