What is DemOcracyi


MR EDIToR:- In these stormy politi.
cal times, when not only the life of the
Government but the liberty of the citi-
zen are alike in danger of immolation,
it behooyes the people to scan carefully
the actions Of those who administer that
government, whether in civil or military
capacities, to the end that they may be
able, at the proper time, to apply the
corrective aud hurl from power the per.
petrators ofthe wrong.
II we have q moiety of our original
God,given rights left us, let us preserve
them even. as the apple of our eye. Let
as defend them with the same fearless.
ness and tenacity that our citizen sol.
diery would defend themselves from the
assaults Of rebels in arms. And since
1t has become so fashionable for the par.
ty in power to denounce Democrats as
Copperheads and Butternuts, we are mats
urally led to enquire, What is Democ.
racyS We understand it to je form
Of government in which the supreme
power is lodged in the people collective
ly, and Democrat is one who adheres
to such government, and the extension
Of the right of suffrage. 1t is well. to
remember these definitions, and not al
low ourselves to be drawn away by side
Issues, or to lose sight Of these cardinal
principles, by the attempts Of political
demagogues to force the people into an
antagonism with the government, so long
as it preserves the resemblance Of Dem,
ocratic Republican form.
Terms of'opprobrium and epithets Of
reproach from political opponents, in
themselves amount to notLing-are as
harmless as the windy newspapers who
give currency to them, and fall still-born
upon the ears of those they are intended
to defame. ~,
"Ah !" says some Abolitionist, "but
you are countenancing rebellion" Not
at all, sir. Few, very few, men in the
North (save abolitiohists) have, as yet,
countenanced rebellion, and the few who
have had the temerity to do'So have Sc.
verely paid the penalty of their foolhardy
conduct. The Abolition sympathizers
with treason, however, have SO far es.
capped punishment.

fathers made it, for our shield and pro
lection, and we shall claim our rightl

those whose brief Office it is to admins
