The emblems of Democracy We no.
tice, are growing as Justify over the
recent election victories, as did one of
the same breed Of fowls when Peter
used cuss words; but if this rebuke
only stirs up the Republican party to
do it's whole duty in the future, like
it did Peter in the past. the glorious
old party that saved the life of the ma
ton will again save it from the grasp
of the Democracy, and the usbering in
of the new Centennial period, in 1876,
will be inaugurated by Republican
administration. The cloaks of Lib
eral, Granger" and independent"
with which the old Democratic hydra
covered its deformities are now cast
off-the overwhelming political tri-
umphs has made the leaders bold and
triumphant, and, hereafter, up to the
Presidential election of 1876, there
will be but one party in the field op-
posed to the Republican, and that is
the Democratic" party, so called.
Over this element that brought SO
much Of evil to our country, when
it last held sway under the admins
istration of James Buchanan, the Re-
publican party must triumph, because
its principles are JUST and RIGHT.

Nebraska, few days ago by Gen. Ord
to visit all sections of the grasshopper
district, reports that he finds no cases
of actual starvation, but much suffer

relieved from various sources. Reliefs
must be given, or hundreds will starve
before winter is half over. Within
ten days many will be without pound
of corn or -four. The present aid
they are receiving is but drop in the

Law and Public Opinion.

That THE world is governed too
much is true. Especially is it the
truth that Americans delight in a
multiplicity of laws. Legislation has
come to be regarded as the cure all
the remedy for every moral or social
evil that aftlicts the country. People
seem to think that, somehow or other,
the millennium is to be ushercd in by
multiplying laws. One would suppose
that from the clamor we hear to regu-
late everything by legal enactments,
there is nothing to do to secure the
most perfect happiness, but to enlarge
our statute books. Is money needed
to carry on business, all that is nee
essary is to legally start up the print
ing presses, and straightway our pock-
cts will be filled. Is labor seeking to
be employed? Legislation is expected
to furnish the employment. The law
is to be made the lever whereby every
mans morals are to he elevated. and
his personal affairs regulated This
is not the business of the Government.
Its duties are simply of police char
acter, and when it steps in to adjust
moral or economical questions, out
side of its duty to protect the citizen
and his property, it transcends it's le-
gitimate authority. 1t is unrepubli-
can. or perhaps we might use the word
undemocratic. 1t is said that the hui
man body, if in full possession of all
its faculties, is perfectly healthy when
it is unconscious of the operations of
its various organs, and the body polite
is in more wholesome condition
when the laws framed for its govern
ment rest lightly upon it. By this we
do not mean that crime should escape
with little punishment, or that laws
should not be executed, or that vice
in all its forms should not be sup
pressed, but we do mean to say, in
short. that the American people
should not depend upon TIE law to dc
for them what in the nature of things
cannot receive the sanction of a
healthy public sentiment. The pur-
pose of law is to protect the citizen in
his or her just rights. and to punish
all who disregard them but it becomes
tyranny when it takes away even the
smallest privi eye rightfully belonging
! to him or her, under the guise of pub
lie necessity or benefit. Popular sen
timent ought to have something to dc
: with the regulation Of many questions
! which the law is invoked to adjust

? action, and then it could he shaped
according to the needs of the situation
and the time. Let there be a sharI
discrimination between the true an6
, the false-bctween the meritoriou
and the mountebank in society. B,
the fruit let each be known. Let Thu
be the test. 1t is an insult to the in

discrimination for them when they ar,

As faithful Journalist our duty
has called US to note the tergiversa-
tions of our city's Executive and to
expose his hypocritical pretensions
and claims to being the advocate and
special champion, par excellence, of
economy and retrenchment in public
expenditures. We have shown, from
time to time, his utter disregard of
the prudent advice of the members of
his own party for retrenchment, in
the casting vote he gave whereby he
placed 5000 more into his own pocket,

and of which no one has a right to-
complain; but the MANNER in which
these copies were paid for, is horse

delivered his Maps, &c. notwith-

with him to have his bookstore card

the South meant protection Of slavery.
Democracy in the North meant sane

Of slavery. Democracy during the re
