What the Democrats Have Done.

Tn the matter of admitting new States into
the Union. as, indeed, in all other matters, the
Democratic party has done all has that has
been done for this country. Under the ao-
ministration of Washington, the Democracy
admitted three states-two new Slave ot'tes
and one Free State, into the Union. Ihese
were Vermont in 1874, Tennessee IN lfSo,
and Kentucky in 1898. The Democratic Ad-
n;n;stra,ion of Thomas Jefferson received
Ohio into the Union in 1902, and purchased

tion of Louisiana gave Us Territory enough
for more States than were In our orlglnai
confederacy, and, what was scarcely less eaiu-
able. gave us control of the Mississippi hiVer'
whose mouth was previously owned 6y france
and Spain. Under james MadIsons democrat
ic Administration, the State OF Louisiana was
admitted into the Union in 1872, and Indiana
in 1915 During the Presidency OF james
Monroe. Democratic Congress admitted

fancy, as honor among thieves. 1t is not We
fear. sst-,-. .-5 ~.
The latest foreign papers contain accounts
of little bit of sharp practice which the ex-
King of Naples lately attempted against his
relative the Emperor of Austria.
Franois-J Joseph, himself weak and some
what wicked sovereign, had SO much sympa-
thy for Francis II of Naples, that, when it
became pretty clear that the Neepolitan tyrant
would have to fly, the Austrian fleet was Or
dered up from the Gulf of Venice to the shore
of the kingdom of Naples, in order, if needs
be, to receive the fugitive King and his fam
ily, and safely convey them to an asylum in
the Austrian dominions. aiRs
Of course the King of Naples was greatly
relieved and obliged by tho intimation that It
-as the event proved-he could not trust bis
own navy, he might rely on the navy of Aus
tria But, not especially anxious to become
an exile, the Neapolitan ruler intinated to
Garibaldi that, provided he would discontinue
his course npon Naples he (the King) would
lend him the Neapolitan navy, with large
military force, to take with him for hostile ope-
rations against Venetia.
Incensed at this base perfdy, Garibaldi
communicated it to the Emperor OF Austria,
who Immediately recalled his aeot to Trieste,
and abandoned his treaeherous cousin to his
fate. So runs the story, and it 10 too positively
detailed to leave much reasonable doubt OF its
being founded on factR. asa 81

Bedecked with pantaloons and hats.
And long tailed coats and smooth cravats.
Of this class is the Printer.

Adorned with froeks and bonnets neat,

Listen to the Words of a Patriot.

The following is an extract from the fare
well address of Andrew. Jackson. 7 They are
words ftly spoken, and worthy the consider
alton of every citizen at the present time
Read them, reflect on them, and then ask
yourselves whether they are not the words of
wisdom and truth: 9 q af
"The citizens of every State should studi-
eusly avoid every thing calculated to wound
the sensibility or offend the just pride of the
people of other States; and they should frown
upon any proceedings within their own borders
likely to disturb the tranquility of their po-
itical brethcrn in other portion of the Union
In country so extensive as the United States
and with pursuits so varied, the internal regu-
lations of the several States must frequently
differ from auothefzin iI-portantz zparties.-
lars; and this difference is unavoidably increas
ed by the varying principles upon which the
American colonies were originally planted;
principles which had taken deep root in their
social reIe tions before the Revolution, and of
necessity, influencing their policy since they
became free and independent States. Blu
each State has the unquestionable right to
regulate its own internal concerns according
to its own pleasure; and while it does not in
terfere with the rights of tho people of other
States or the rights of the Union, every State
must be sole judge of the measures proper to
secure the safety of It's citizens and promote
their happiness; and all efforts on the part of
the people of other States to cast odium upon
their institutions, and all measures calculated
to disturb their rights of property, or to put
in jeopardy their peace and internal tranquil
ty, are in direct opposition to the spirit in
which the Union was formed, and must en-
danger its safety. Motive Of philanthropy
may be assigned for this anwarrantable inter
ference, and such men may persuade them
selves for moment that they are laboring in
the cause of humanity, and asserting the
rights of tho human race; but every one, upon
sober reflection, will see that nothing bat mis-
chief can come from their improper assaults
upon the feelings and rights of others. Rest
assured, that the men found busy in this work
of discord are not worthy of your confidence
and deserve your strongest reprobation."
