Of the people as here asserted, is TO be per-
Petually binding and unalterable BY all sue
eeeding Legislatures, on the ground that
there is "a contract in the case, is the sum
OF all tyranny. A contract" which does
not conform to these constitutional proyi-
sions is fraud on the people. and fraud
Vitates all contracts. A claim cannot be
set up for the perpetuity OF a privilege
which is abused and exercised for the de-
struetion Of the rights Of those who granted
it. If, rs declared by our correspondent

Here follows long array Of authori-

The editorial concludes as follows:
Nothing can be palmer. What we con.

A Mistake.

The American Register, is very able
paper, published with endorsement OF
It's orthodoxy by number of prominent
Democratic Senators and Representa-.
tives, and therefore it should aim al
strict accuracy in it's statements. It at
tributes the Democratic defeat in 1880,
to two cumbersome, which it calls "the
unwise attempt to change the position
of the Democracy on the Tariff the
other, the unfortunate nomination for
Vice-President" 1t is correct as to the
latter; as to the former, it is entirely at
fault. The position" of the Democra-
cy on the tariff, was not Changed"
The allusion is to the declaration for =
+" Tariff for revenue only" If our Wash
ing contemporary will refer to the Dem
ocratie platform of 1876, it will see that
this is an almost literal copy Of its
language which was as follows, 1--WE
demand that all eustom-house taxation
(ViE. the Tarit0 shall be for veuenue only"
On this explicit declaration Of principle,
the Democracy won the battle in 1876.
Unfortunately, many Of their trusted
leaders conspired with the defeated par
~ to devise the method by which the
victory was lost; but that does not over
throw the irreversible fact that it was
