you can thoroughly cultivate. Corn will

enlisted. Unless these requisites deyel-
ope themselves 10 a fitting extent, we fight

learn what he could not 1--we intended to say,
we shall more easily appreciate what he did mean
to declare. And the first lesson to learn is TO
avoid the mischierous error that contuses the
two portions Of sentence in the declaration.
The proposition that all men are created equal is
one 1t has no connection with the following
proposition that they are endowed with certain
rights nor was itdesigned TO declare any equality
in those rights. The most that can be implied is
that each man may pursue happiness, enjoy life
and use liberty, subject to the restraints which law
and necessities of social relationship impose on
all men, and that therefore each in his own position
may use liberty SO as not TO abuse it If, by
law, by colonization, by any changes of the So
cial system the black race Of Africa or the Indian
race Of America, or the Malay race of the South
Seas, should be elevated to the grade Of civiliza-
ton aud the enjoyment of free institutions, the
principles Of the declaration would Justify them
in the fullest enjoyment of their liberty. just as
those principles now justify them in the enjoyment
of Whatever liberty they possess by the laws or
the social necessities of their several positions in
the world. Unless it be held that the Declaration
of Independence was meant TO destroy the right
Of the father to control the son and TO own his
labor and service till he was twenty years old,
it cannot be held that ii was designed to abolish

The Ohio Statesman says: The Democrats in
Europe are radicals. They are necessarily so
under mOnarchical and aristocratic Governments.
They constitute there the anti government or
revolutionary party.
"But in the United States, Democracy takes an
other form. Here the national Government is
the Government of the people, deriving its au-
thority from their consent expressed through
written Constitution. That Constitution, ap-
proved and ratified by the people. defines and

for Union of States

is the constitutional Union party. Il Is the true,

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune makes the following pertinent in
quiry: Property owners and laborers of Ameri
ca, do you know the fact that the cost of this wal
has got up to ss,O0o.0o0 day." II our arith
melic is correct that per diem cost sums up an
aggregate of s90,O0o,OO0 every month and
one thousand ninetyJfre millions per annum
without calculating the loss it occasions to the
productive wealth Of the nation. Remember
too, that the adoption of either the cRlrrENDEs
compromise, the border States Convention com
promise, or the DoUGLAs compromise would have
saved this frightful waste of the public treasure
and the sacrifice of health and life that must en-
sue from the controversy, with all the embarrass-
ments that these results will entail upon the ma

Scrofula, or Kings Evil

Is a constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated weak
and poor Being in the circulation. il pervades
the whole body, and NAV burst out in disease on
any part oft. No organ is free from It's attacks.
nor s there one which il may not destroy. The
scroiulous faint Is variously caused by mercurial
disease, low living disOrdered OF unhealthy food,
impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing
vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection
Whatever be its origin, il is hereditary IN the
constitution, descending from parents to chill
dren unto the third and fourth generation " indeed
It seems to be the rod of Him who saws: Il will
VISIT the iniquides of the fathers upon their chill

Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter which, in
the lungs, liver and internal organs, is termed tu
bercles; IN the glands, swellngs; and on the sur

which gendeis in the blood, depresses the ener-
gies OF life, so that scrofulous constitutions not
only suffer from scrofulOus complaints but they
have Tar less power to Withstand the attacks of
otter diseases; consequently vast numbers perish
by disorders which, although not scrofulous in
their nature, are still rendered fatal by this faint

declmates the human family has its origin directly
IN this scrofulous contamination; and many de

The s.muds,IIs.,

The Cincinnati Gazette, in its comments upon
the disturbance attending WENDELL PHILLIPs's
lecture in that city, is ex eedingIy indignant upon
the ''mudsilIsy of Porkopols for daring to ex
press their sentiments upon the issues before the
country. 1t says: ,'sThe issue thus made is
whether the lowest stratum of society shall be
permitted to dictate to the respectable portion
what sentiments they shall be allowed to hear. Z"
A few years ago, and but few. the same Gazette
denounced Senator HAMMosD, of South Carroll
ma. in terms most bitter, for his depecatory alu-
sions to the influence of "mudsiIls" of Northern
society in the political and social affairs of sse
country The Gazetts,'as the leading representa-
tive of the Republican party in the Northwest,
is more aristocratic than the wealthy planter of
the Palmetto State. 1t talks about the ..dregs
of society" and in contradistinction the ere
spectacle inhabitants, just in the same spirit that
it condemned in the South Carolinian. To gam
party advantage, and for partisan purposes, it
was very much incensed that Senator HAMMOND
should aIlude to the poor class Of the North as
the "mudsills'' of society But now it's tune is
changed. Ii speaks of the respectable inhabit
ants" and Glow fellows of the North with as
much nonchalance as the most aristocratic slave
owner of the South. In alludng to the persons who
caused the disturbance at WENDELL PHLLIPs's
lecture in Cincinnati, il terms them the chaser
sort Of humanity and that "no respectable fam
lily in the city would permit one of those low fell
lows to contaminate its circle" Again il re
marks: when brutes are our intellectual stand
ard QUO progress must necessarily be towards
brutishness," and "our citizens are Indignant
that their rights should be held subject to the
very dregs Of society" There are pregnant
thoughts for reflection in these comments of The
Gazette upon the circumstances attending thu
WkSpELE PHILLIPS lecture in Cincinnati. 1t i
evident that the leading Republican organ o.
the West has no longer confidence in the ca
pacity OF the people for self government and tina
it regards strong, central power as the only Sc
curity for permanent and safe Government
:'he Gazefts goes far beyond the South Caro-
lima Senator in expressing its disgust Of tn
"mudsils" Of Northern society who, TO use ID
own language. set themselves up rs the censor
Of the sentiments Of the respectable people o
Cincinnati" And be it remembered these ex
