We copy the above for the Parposs Of
showing thai The editor Of the Gd<siis is
waiil adhsving TO the policy which has
saussd the disqualification Of the Demo

ina. ths editor has no principles Of bis
swn and must wait for s'Congrsss 10 de-

that the members Of Congress ars the
pespls's servants, and ID is the business
Of the people to Ley down their principles
and the duty Of their serVaDts-ihe mem
bsrs Of Congress to act in accordance
With them. AMEN change; bat principles
