Dedication OF a Democratic and
Liberal WigWam.

JEFFRRsoNvILLE, Ind, August 1G.--
The dedication Of the Democratic and
Liberal Wigwam, at this place, this even.
ing, was fine affair. The wigwam was
beautifully and tastetully decorated with
flags, aowets and evergreens, and with a
capacity to seat 1000 people. Bands Of
music were playing, bonfires burning and
the scene was lively and enthusiastic.
The wigwam was densely crowded.
Speeches were made by Hon. Joseph E.
Gayen, Democratic and Liberal Elector
for the State at large, and Hon. Jonas G.
Howard Of this city.

metaphysical pair Of silk stockings which
by dint Of repeated darning had become
entirely worsted, without q single thread
of silk inthem. Very much the Same Is
the present predicament OF that which
calls itself the Democratic party. No
pair OF stockings, whether silk or any
other texture, was ever put to such hard
usage, to such perpetual and consuming
wear, as of late years the Democratic par.

serve the lack Of all general ideas, of all
fundamental political philosophy which
characterlzes their speeches, their conVen.
tions, and their acts. The men who laid
the foundations Of our republic, and espec.
tally Jefferson, had political philosophy
ot which the theoretical part was mostly
derived from the French authors who pre-.
ceded and prepared the revolution, and
the practical part from the common law
and the institutions Of England. The fun.
damental doctrine ot that philosophy was
that each individual man is possessed of
certain inallenable rights, and that gov
ernment Is but the instrument for the pro.
lection Of those rights. how shamefully
the party has departed from this principle
we do not now propose to inquire. Il Is
rather the absence Of all principle, and
the decision OF the grayest Importance
upon consideration Of policy utterly un-
worthy OF statesmen, to which we wish to
invite attention" n,"-1ribune, June %, 1856
