The Sentinel is perplexed. IL can

ocracy aud what is not How should

defined ideas upon the subject. II has
been educated 10 different school, al.

able for lis lack Of diseernment in such
matters. The principles Of Democracy
are fixed. They change not with the
utterances of any representative in
Congress, or of any public journal 10
general terms Democracy has been de-
fined to be that policy which seeks .sths
greatest good Of the greatest number" /"
In reference to the tariff, il has ever
held to a tariff for re0eaue, with iuci-
dental protection A so called protective
or prohibitory tariff il has ever opposed,
as affording little or no revenue to the
government, and az being oppressive TO
the interests of the masses, while build
ing up those of the few, chiefly blcated
capitalists and monopolists, who OF all men
have the least necessity for these spe-
cial fayors from the government. These
are the well defined principles of Dem-
ocracy, SO simple and plain that they
cannot be misunderstood BY any one
who desires to understand them.
Mr., Richie, aud the other represen.
tatives Of Maryland in both Houses q
Congress, in opposing the repeal Of the
duty on coal, doubtless took into the
account the small modicum Of protection
accorded to Maryland interests, while the
interests Of other sections are SO largel,
fosiered. But, in general revision and
modification ofthe tariff, uoder Demo.

MERITED REBuKE Tho BaHinore
Gazette gives the Neac Fork World a
merited raspiug for its impolitic and
inconsistent course as party journal.
Itchides the World, also, for its officious
manoeuvering 10 relation to the ap-
proaching presidential election Of 1872.
The World would do well, 10 view of
the storm Of findignat:on which II evoked
by its audacious outrage upon the party
in 1865, TO keep itself, with becoming
humility, far in the background. The
Worlds unparalleled presumption, on
the eve Of the last National Convention
is not forgotten, nor will il be. The
Democratic party want no more Of the
peculiar tactics Of those who Used ii on
that occasion. Let one such act suffice
for tie life time of that journal A

FoRNEY's Press Of last Friday week
throws some ugly and suspicious stones
at Ulysses. What's the matter2 We
give few extracts:
"When the great political battle Of 1872
comes to be fought, the Republican party
will need more stirring campaign docu-
ment than lis financial record.h
"lhe man Of mere dollars and cents is Mt
best but poor creature, and as it is with
men 50 it is with parties. Who shall first
strike the key note 10 victory year heuce?''
On the St. Domingo question, the
editor says:
However considered, the removal Of
Senator Summer from the chairmanship of
Foreign Relations is something more than
blnnder. II will certainly not help the
San Domingo scheme.n
San Domingo can never be made test
in the Republican, party, and ought not TO
be. But If it Is determined to make it 30,
the poorest way TO begin the wretched bu.
siness is to strike down the great man who
led the Republican hosts when thousands
who proudly enroll themselves among them
were either Democrats or doubters. The
managers in this very bad proceeding will
realize that their party win be even more
outraged by this sacrifice than the Democ.
racy in the case Of Douglas.
There is something wrong with For
ney, evidently True, The respectable
portion Of the Republican press, an
over the country, denouncc or depIore
the removal Of Mr.. Sumner from the
committee Of which he had been the
honored chairman for ten years past,
but why Mr.. Forney should 70 echo that
denunciation, ip opposition to tho sen
timents Of his master, ,--''the man on
horseback" whose lick .spittle and toady
the editor Of the Press has been 50 long,
is quite mystery. May not the non
reconstructed cabinet, with Mr., Fornsy
still out 10 the cold, have something to
do with his bolduess Of speech against

natives of Java, who eat red kind Of
earth as luxury. This earth, which
is soft and smooth to the touch, has
been anylized by German chemist,

small quantity Of potassa aud soda.
Some tribes eat earth to stay the

their earth, baked in thin cakes, as an
agreeable variety in their general diet.

cHEraYul lsTsLlioxsog ron GRANT 60.

After fifteen years of continuous Ra-
dical rule, aud in spite of the influence
of Federal and State patronage, always
exercised with reckless partisanship,
the old Granite State is at last redeem
ed, and has returned to her ancient
Democratic. faith This great result,
though somewhat unexpected, from the
quiet manner in which the canvass was
conducted, has not, however, disnppoint-
ed the confidence of those who had
carefully watched the signs of reaction,
AID felt persuaded that change was
inevitable. The proscriptise policy OF
the Administration, oppressive taxation
and an utter failure TO restore peace TO
the country, have been the controlling
causes in this political revolution, for
such it may be described, while the
persecution of Mr.. Sumner has in some
degree contributed to emphasize the
popular resentment.
This detection in the very stronghold
of New England, which will soon be
followed by another imposing victory in
Connecticut, may be regarded as the
first gun OF the Presidential campaign,
which announces the certain and over.
whelming overthrow Of the Radical
candidate, whoever he may be, in 1872.
1t is difficult to measure the moral effect
of so decisive an expression upon the
country. When the column of New
England, which has never before falter-
ed, thus breaks into disorder, renounces
its leaders, and discards their commands,
then, iadeed. may the President and
his followers be warned that the day OF
rctributive justice has, after long trial
and patient suffering, come to the relief
of a betrayed aud outraged people.
A desperate majority i'd Congress
disregarding this rebuke, and Needless
of its stern instruction, may still attempt
to force through obnoxious measures Of
persecution. But from this time for
ward it will be powcrless for any serious
mischief Faction may fume and rant,
but neither the discipline of party nor
Executive dictation will be able to hold
in tame submission class Of moderate
men, who have long realized their false
position aud struggled against its humil-
iating restraints. Since the firing OF
the last gun of civil strife, there have
been no such joyful tidings sent out to
cheer the nations heart as this glorious
triumph in New Hampshire Wash

SEPARATING THE ELEcrIcNs. In
view Of the new enforcement act OF
Congress, with its numerous pains and
penalties, nearly all the leading Virgin
ia journals are urging that a State law
shall be passed to separate the con grcs.
sional elections from all other elections.
so that they may be held at time a when
no State elections are to occur. 1t is
probable thatthis will be done not only 10
Virginia, butamong the States generally,
as the only means Of avoiding some Of
the disagreeable features Of the outra-
geous act. New York will perhaps
speedily separate its elections, and we
take it that in time Maryland will do
the same should the congressional law
remain 10 force. Such change on the
part Of individual States would necessi-
tate additional elections in most of them,
but il is far better to submit to that
inconvieuce than that the local elections
should be controlled or interfered with
by partisans under the influence Of out
side authority, with United States
. troops at their individual call, and State
officials entirely at their mercy. Bali
