Our Purpose.

Having tried faithfully and failed 10
find out what these agitators are in fA-
vor of in regard to a final settlement
of the State debt, it is our purpose
hereafter until the question takes some
definite shape, to have very little to
say about it, and devote our space to
questions of more practical Importance
and of more direct interest to our xs%b
ers. If the courts decide that tho 1863
is a constitutional settlement, we are
for adopting measures to pay it off in
the most practical manner without bur-
dening our people, which we think can
be done. If the courts set it aside and
the question is left open for another
canvass, we shall then as now favor a
settlement at fifty cents in the dollar
We place ourselves thus squarely be-
fore the world on the issue, and hold
that the man or party that fails to do
this while agitating the question is I'M
worthy the confidence and respect Of
the country. We are for a united
Democracy and against all combinations
and efforts to form a new party.

On many countenances we see traces
of time, or dissipation, or evil thought,
which are not unintelligible hieroglyph-

fair page, from which we may learn
lessons of wisdom and truth. The

sallowness, the usual accompaniment

The Five Propositions.

DIR. Baird set forth in his temperance
address last week five propositions
which we promised to submit this week
that our readers may see whether they
are true or not; for if they are true,
it is startling indeed to contemplate
them in connection with our duties and
relations to our fellow mortals. But
before presenting them we wish to say
that one of the greatest faults of our
age is Httle-miadedneSs. 1t consists in
open opposition to any proposition,
dogma or doctrine that in any way con-
ficts with what men are engaged in,
or believe in. Magnanimity or noble
mindedness on the other hand admits
the truth wherever found, it matters
not by whom presented. We say this
because many men whose business OF
faith is condemned by these PROPOSE
tons will not stop to enquire whether
they are true or not, but will at once
say, "thafs The old trade Of preachers
aCOmen and Sunday school childeen." W.
ask every one who reads these PROPOSE
tions to consider them on their Owl
mefits qtffue friaGu ne eSoG Gfisfi
and your fellow man.
The proportions were applied to thu
trade and traffic in alcoholic liquors
and we submit them without furthe
comment, to stand or fall upon thei
own inherent truth.
THE FIVE PROPOSITIONS.
l. All human rights are derived
frCm God, and therefore there can b.
no conflict of rights.
2. No man has a right to follow al
avocatiOn, engage in practice or pur
suit that will injure Or endanger hi
own life.
3. No man has a right to engage il
a practice, pursuit or avocation tina
will injure or endanger the life of an,
human being.
4. Whatever a man has more thai
he needs belongs to the public and n
man has right to destroy it.
5. The objects of all laws for tn
government of man are to define an
protect rights, and all actions that ten
to intrude upon the rights of other
should be prohibited by law.

What Others Say.
COMPROMISE.

In the last two issues of this paper
we gave briefly our estimate of Mr..
Davis and his great book, in which we
stated that Mr.. Davis had given the
ablest and best exposition Of the United
States government as framed by its
founders and of the American polity,
now extant. Sectional feelings and
prejudices may have induced some to
question this who have not read the
standard works on the subject. We
therefore propose now to show from
the very best authority in the North
that we are correct. We quote the fol.
lowing from the New York San, whose
able editor, Chas, A. Dana says:
"Mr. Davis had, as we have said, a
twofold purpose in the composition Of
this narrative. His first aim was to
prove by historical authority that each
of the States, as sovereign parties to
the compact of union, had the reserved
p0Ser to secede from it whenever il
should be found not to answer the ends
for which it was established, From
this premise he would draw the infer,
ence that the war was on the part Of
the United States government one Of
aggression and usurpation, whiIc0 On

the part Of the South, it was war for
the defense of an inherent, inalienable
right. We do not propose, at this
time, to follow Mr.. Davis in the histor-
ical inquiry from which he draws the
arguments in support of his main thesis,
but we commend to the thoughtful and
candid reader his discussion of the
powers reserved to the individual States,
and of the specific right Of withdrawal
from the confederation, as being the
most learned, comprehensive, sagacious
and satisfactory examination of the
question that we have ever seen, and
we do not except the contributions OF
Webster and Calhoun to the enlighten-
ment of American opinion upon the
subject. Those who imagine that Mr..
Davis in his treatment of this theme
would lay himself open to the charge
of special pleading, or of suppression
of facts, will do we'll to scan his pages
closely, and compare each of his asser
tions with the text of the Constitution
with the records of the National Con
.vention which framed it, and of thu
State Conventions which accepted it
and with the published utterances o
those men who had the largest share ii
