Mr. BuckaIew's Letter

To fIs MEETING at HughesviNe, Eastern
Lyconaing, august 22d, 1853.
GENTLEMEN OF LYcoMINa You are
10 be commended for assembling yourselves
as men opposed to the Administrations at
Harrisburg, and Washington. and am
glad to contribute to your proceedings the
expression of some few earnest words.
An issue between Power and Liberty is
distinctly presented Us by the policy of
our rulers, and If we stand Indifferent TO
Il, or scouiesce in its decision according
TO the pleasure of those who aspire to be
our masters, what shame will be ours !
what loss and injury! what degradation
and eternal disgrace
By Liberty I do not mean license, but
that regulated freedom established by our
ancestors which We have enjoyed hitherto
without question, and the example of which
We have held forth proudly before other
nations as the reproof of their systems and
the glory of our own.
BY power do not mean legitimate au-
thority, but authority usurped and laWless,
pursuing It's own ends over broken Con-
stitution aiad through the baleful flames of
civil war.
Bstweel, these-between power and lib
erty--can you hesitate in your choice I
VIII you hold up . balance and weigh.
doubtfnlly, the arguments which sustain
liberty against those which oppose itf
Necsssity-Safety-are these the magical
wo7ds By which despotism is to be changed
in charactsr and made ft for our adoption
Shall the plea Of tyrants be accepted as
our standard of public rule I Shall we
concsde force, and justice, and wisdom, to
one ,f che most impudent, false and inju
nous doctrines ever in.ruded into the dis
cussios Of public affairsi

THE BasflbE DEMOCRAT.
B7 P. 9 rUKaEsoN.


Tbey bore him to gloomy cell,
And barred him from the light,
Because his boldly dared TO tell
The people what was right,
He dared his single voice to raise
Against ioppressicn's power,
To show by truths unerrIng rays,
The dangers of the hour.
They called him By traitors name,
And with fiendish hate,
Heaped or his head load OF shame,
Such as on felons wait. lhearth,
They dragged him from his peaceful
Upon an enemy's word,
Although The vilest man on earth,
Should bv The law be heard.
They shut him up, they could not chain
His free and fearless SOUL.
The, sacrei chamber OF his brain,
Was free from their control.
They could moi bind the eagle thought
That from his mind took flight,
Effslce the lesson he had taught,
Nor beiir the ruth from light.
For tho within dungeon damp
They sIat him from the day,
They could not queRch thruth's airy lamp
That burns with fearless ray.
But hark ! upon he sea OF life,
What sound comes from afar
II is the harbiager OF strife,
CT red, ensanguinsd war.

upon public safety, and national life, and
necessity, to 60 with US to our great COM
mercial metropolis and there stand With
Us beside the modest slab which marks
the resting place of Benjamin and Debo-

bic will there sound all these apologies
for Wrong-all these pretexts for stealing
away or taking away from the people, the
rights and liberties achieved for them by
the great men of former times We will

Gentlemen; Your political opponents
think that patriotism should be called 10y
atty, and made to consist in unconditional,
unquestioning devotion to an administra-
ton of the government. believe you
will agree with me that this great virtue
requires no new name borrowed from the
literature of monarchy; that it shown in
devotion to the Constitutions and laws of
the United States and Of the several States,
and that the true patriot regards public
officials with respect precisely proper
toned to their observance of law, justice
and right, and to their skill, wisdom and
honesty in the performance of their public
duties.
Judge your public men fairly but freely.
Let no man put paddock upon your lips,
nor impose upon you any of tho false and
pernicious sophisms of arbitrary power.
An important election approaches in
this commonwealth, and another import
ant one succeeds it next year. At these,
you are required to judge those who have
ruled or misrHled you since 1850, and to
determine, as far as your votes will go.
the policy of the future. You need no
labored exhortation from me to inspire
you with zeal, courage, determination and
fidelity in the discharge of your electoral
duties. Behold the evils which afiict the
nation and the dangers which threaten it |!
These exhort you, beyond art of mine, to
right actor, and justify that opinion which
We hold in common, that upon Democratic
success in the elections just mentioned,
depend the existence of free, liberal and
just government in this country; a re-
storatiou of Union founded in consent /;
the avoidance of future wars, and the pre-
servation and growth of that material pros
perity which results from good govern
ment when vouchsafed to an united, in.
dustrious and virtuous people.
/ am, your fellow-citizen,
and obdt. servant,

.works Of Franklin, by Sparks. m PIP. IO7, 4ao. 49,
This was the declaration of the Provin-
cial Assembly of Pennsylvania, November
IL, 1856, in answer to Governor Morris,
upon the question of exempting Proprie-
tary property from taxation. Despite the
fact of Indian depredations in the border
settlements and the danger of extended
hostilities, the Assembly refused an ap-
preparation of money for military purposes
unless the same should be raised or repaid
in just manner, by placing the burden
equally upon the property and resources
of the culony. Equality of taxation as aa
essential principle Of liberty was then stern
ly vindicated by the men of Pennsylvania,
and naalifary necessity was plead to them
in vain as reason for surrendering or
waving their rights as freemen, and bend
ing their backs to burden Of injustice.

sembly and prepared most of the docu-
ments on Its behalf, in the dispute.-See
