The DEMOCRATIC Prlncinle.

Many years ago, in response to a
toast, the late Governor Allen paid q
tribute to the Democratic principles.
1t indicated that he had a lofty con.
ception of the idea in human govern
ment to which he was steadfastIy de.
voted. He said:
Democracy is a sentiment not to
be appalled,, corrupted or compro-
missed. 1t knows no baseness, covers
to no danger, Expresses no weakness.
Fearless, generous and humane, it re.
Dukes the arrogant, cherishes honor,
and sympathizes with the humble
II asks nothing but what it comedies;
it comedies nothing but what tide:
mapds Destructive only Of despot-
ism, it is the sole conservator of lib.
erty, labor and property. 1t is the
sentiment of freedom, Of equal rights,
of equal obligations. 1t is the law Of
nature pervading the law of the land.
The stupid, the selfish and the base
in spirit may denounce it as a vul.
gar thing; butin the history of. our
race the Democratic principle has de-
veloped and illustrated the highest
moral and intellectual attributes OF
our nature.

State Politics.

Tho Clarksburg Ne,cs: State poll
tics arc being literally discussed by
some of our contemporaries. 1t APP
pears that some Of our Democratic
contemporaries have some fears about
the prospects of the Democracy in
this State next year. It is true the
party needs more thorough organiza-
ton, and we would advise that the
rank and file look after the matter.
We believe, however, that the pros
poets for Democratic success were
never better, if we avail ourselves of
them by organizing.
The issues next year will be clear
ly defined. Fixed principles will be
involved and they will be principles
that have been regarded as purely
Democratic from the foundation of
the government.
Inc supremacy OF The Constitution
will be involved and the Democracy
will be found holding that it, and not
the dictum of the centralizationsts,
is supreme. The freedom of cleo
tions from the control of armies and
partizan officials at Washington,
and the purity of the ballot will be
involved. The claim of the money
power to control the financial matters
of the government will be involved
To sum up, the people next year will
have to decide whether this govern
ment is to remain a Republic, or an
Oligarchy. run by National Banks
and army officers. The Democracy
have defined the issue and declared
for the Republic, and all who are
against them are for the Oligar-
chy. We believe the Democracy of
this State, next year, will declare for
the Republic and their country as
established by Washington, Jeffer-
son and their co-patriots.

The Election.

The election passed off quietly. A
very light vote was polled, and the
result is that Democratic candidates
are defeated. The County Judge
Bill was completely showed under,
the proposition getting but little
over three hundred votes in its favor.
There has been SO much said about
the Justices Court, that it was sup
posed the people would accept almost
anything in lieu of it, TO get rid of it.
But this election has proven one
thing quite satisfactorily to us, and
that is,this, that they are not oppos-
ed to the present form Of County
Court and that. the cry against it
has been made by Republicans for
the purpose of making political cap
ital. So far as we are concerned, we
propose TO lat them keep this Court
for all time TO come. We do not
propose to support any measure look
ing to the adjustment Of it, not
even the Constitutional Amendment;
because the people have said by their
votes, that they donot want a change,
and that the County Court is the
Court of the people," We will not
go in opposition to the wishes Of SO
large a majority of the people Of our
county. Nevertheless" says the
Wheeling Register, "it is probable
that the people will wake up some
day to the consciousness that they
have rejected the most simple, eco.
nomical, and efficient plan of a
Court that can be devised. One,
which after the expense and annoy
ance of many experiments have been
gone through with, the people of this
State will come back to, and wonder
that they did not sooner learn that

~. EasIaz eyyT5fer: An impression hav-
ing been created in the minds of
some persons, that at a meeting of
the 0verseers of the Poor, for Mason
county, held on the Sth day of July,
1879, George Fadely, Esq, Overseer
of the Poor for CONDEMN District,
antagonized and opposed an allow
ance of 500 in favor ofMrs. Martha
Lanier, for maintaining her idiot
son, Robert; and succeeded in having
the regular allowance reduced to $50.
AT the request of Mr.. Fadely, 1 take
pleasure in stating that he used.all
his persuasive powers in behalf Of
Mrs. Lanier for an allowance Of 500,
and was assisted in his laudable en-
deavors by several other members Of
the Board, but Mr.. Fadely being in
the minority, majority Of them
deemed $50 II sufficient allowance,
which was accordingly made. Twill

Board, was present during all its
deliberations, and know whereof I
