WHAT SHALL IT BE-DHxocRAcY on Ans
rocRAcYr-Ths lecture Of Hugh J. Campbell,
Esq, ON this subject, at fremont Hall, last
week, was we'll attended.
Mr.. Campbell handled this all absorbing
question in an entirely new and original style.
lie did not allow himself, Is speakers on 20
Iitical subjects too often do, to indulge in ex-
citing and bombastical denunciat,ons Of
every one who does not agree with himself
in opinion. 1t was clear and calm e:suncia-
lion Of arguments, which he deduccd from
facts and propositions which are as firm and
immutabe Is Gods own laws He did not
attempt to answer the question put forth in
bis subject. .r', 49,.
The lecture WAS . history Of this great
problem which the world has becn trying te
solve for thousands Of years.e
(which shall it be-Democracy or Aristoc
racy ?" is the question that has been asked BY
the Almighty Of every nation that has evel
existed. We, in our egotism, imagined tina
We had responded. Tho Declaration Of In
dependence, which declared all men free ant
equal, was our answer. But We have failct
to put our theory into practice. To all in
tents and purposes every man Of our rae
has enjoyed the liberty guaranteed in tina
memorable declaration. :. But the Creator o
the universe did not make laws for one-half 0
his.peopls only, but for every man Of ever.
trace and Of every color. ~ -->.
! We have failed so far to carry out on
answer to this great political problem. Blu
over million of our people are gathered Of
be banks Of the Potomac, and all along tn
Southern border Of our loyal States, busil.
engaged in solving.this question Of ah qucs
tons, with the aid Of the only material tina
ever decided political issue on permansn
basis-the bay onets and cannon.
! When this present STRUGGLED ended-whe
lpesce again returns to our land-then tn
answer Of the American people shall be re
turned to their divine interrogation, which
shall be, Democracy or Aristocracy. If tn
South wins, no one need deny that Aristot
racy has gained the day. Should the Nortf
. with its millions Of freemen, prove the victo
then great and mighty people will proclaiI
to the world, ut sksu be Democracy"

CAaP NKAR SOMERSET, Jan. IS, 1852.
Thinking that brief statement OF Affairs, from the
extreme Eastern part Of army in Kentucky would
be of interest to your rea ers, have taken the pry
ledge to write.
Early in September our regiment penetrated the
interior of this State and pitched our tents on the
Ozark and Bloody Ground" At some places We
were received with suspicion at otcr places kindly
welcome greeted us. From what have seen and
heard during this time, am fully persuaded that the
unconditional Union men are few and far between
in Kentucky. Union sentiments are based upon sell
fshness. Our troops are welcome, because they
drive back the rebels, who plumber their counties
and take their property. They are quite willing that
wo fight for them, but their patriotism fear goes
bu, little further.
Were il not that we drive back the marauding
hordes which hsrrass them, reception would
hive been cool indeed Their interest in the success
Of the Union army is confined to this State; out
side. IL seems TO be II matter Of Indifference may
be considered severe in my structures, yet truth de-
mands it, for if the practical question be put to pro-
fessed Union men that, provided it be found neces'
sary TO maintain the Union, Slavery must iali De-
lieye the almost universal response would be, Let
the Union slide" There are honorable exceptions;
only enough, however, to prove the rule.
There 10, however, large conditional Union party.
They want the Union preserved, with its Constitu-
ton and laws, under the Interpretation Of Clay and
Webster. which is all that Union men South ever
asked but that party wants to stand OIL, and let
others settle the rebellion. IL is the representative
Of the " neutrality idea" 1t was this idea which
brought the scourge of eivwar to their very hearth
stones Had this party taken decided stand for tbs
Union, Rebel armies would never have tented OF
their soi the desolaon and waste incident to armiei
marching through country would have fallen Oh
