WHO ARE THE DEMOCRACY
QF THE COUNTRY *
We believe this question can. be readi-
ly and easily answered. No difficulty or
doubt can embarrass or attend its solution.
The principles of this party are broad,
national, clear, comprehensive, and we'.l
defined. Every man, woman and school-
boy in the land who will read, can know,,
understand, and apply them. The Demo-
cratic party is one of principle, "Measures \
and not jneii" is a part of its ritual, and
emblazoned on every page of its history.
Unlike other political parties, and organi-
zations of recent origin, whose rise and
progress and final shipwreck, after a few
successful voyages, amidst storms and
headwinds, will furnish the future impartial
historian with ample materials*for a salea-
ble volume, and will teach our successors
a lesson of warning and instruction to shun,
as they would the poisonous mushroom,
or deadly night shade, all affiliation or
connection with a party destitute of princi-
ples, whose fanatical zeal, proscriptive in-
tolerance, and hatred of Democracy, were
all the qualifications or principles they
possessed, to conduct or administer the af*
fairs of the nation. The true Democracy
of the Union are still and will always re-
main an organized party. In legious and
battallions they have ever " kept step to the
music of the Union," devoted to their prin-
ciples, enthnsiastio in the cause of their
oountry, her honor and renown.
This general truth, or law,* comprehend-
ing many subordinate truths, termed
'•principle," advocated by the Democratic
party of the present day; are identically
the same principles, or truths, which ani-
mated the bosoms, braved the hearts and
nerved the arms of the giants of the revo-
lutionary era, to declare, and afterwards
establish their independence, and of the
wise and good men of a later period, who
formed our present compact of Union, for
the purpose, as they express it, " to estab-
lish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defence, promote
the general welfare, and secure the bless-
ings of Liberty to ourselves and posterity."
It is a principle of the Democratic party
" that ours is a Republic of States, and in
the people of each seperate State is lodged
the ultimate sovereignity, that the true
theory of our Government is not that the
sovereign power is lodged in a majority,
either of the States, or of the whole people
of all the States, but in each separate State
and the people thereof." It is also a prin-
ciple of the same Democratic party, " that
the powers of the Government are clearly
defined, and strictly limited by the Consti-
tution, and that all the powers not express,
ly delegated, are reserved to the States^
and the people, and that each State is, in
itself, a matron and sovereign. It is like-
wise a cardinal principle of this party, that
the domain and organized territories are
the common property of all the States, and
that each citizen of every State has the
Constitutional right to go into the territo.
rie3 with every species of property, and
that, during the teiritorial condition, he is
entitled to the fullest protection by the
Federal Government in the enjoyment of
his property. It is a patriotic Constitution-
al Union party, as every pagef book and
chapter of the history of these States will
amply testify and bear witness. It is a
party of toleration, who denounces the nar-
row minded bigotry that would proscribe
either MTurk"s. or "Jew," "Greek" or
''Gentile," on account of their religious
opinions. This party believes, and teaches,
that a Roman Catholic has equal religious
rights with a Presbyterian, a Jew as a
Methodist, or Baptist, an Infidel as a saint,
and that all men and all creeds are on
the same footing—free to worehip their
Creator as . their consciences dictate and
direct. It is a party of progress, who be-
lieve in the lawful acquisition* of more
land, in the acquisition of Cuba, aud some
thing with Mexico, (what that something
is to be we are not prophet enough to
foretell,) perhaps a protectorate, and Gov,
Houston at its head as the Big Chief. Ii
is the party of equal privileges and Con-
i strtutional rights, who have, on severa]
; memorable occasions, in the history of our
, Government, vindicated this cherished
! principle of the party, and who, in its ft>)
. lest extent, recognize, enforce and defend
| the truth that " all white men are boru free
and equal;" that "a man is a man for a'
that;" a pttraining his ftlluws, be he
ever so poor and humble; that he ia an
American sovereign, in fact, and free as
the winds of Heaven that whistle over him.
! Fanaticism, religious or political, is no
part of th** creed of a true Democrat, or o1
¡ the party to which he belongs. Freesoil-
ism, Abolitionism, Ivnownothingism, aud
. all the other isms,pol lutions and abomina
tions abroad in our land, he and hia party
utterly despise aud abhor.
I There, then, are the venerable andtime-
honored principles of the Democratic par-
' ty, and each aud every man, and all men
j who hold, practice, and abide by the same,
are, in truth and in fact, members of this
glorious old party ; they are the true De-
mocracy of the nation.
From the bleak and sterile cliffs and
promontories of Maine,to the orange groves
and peach orchards of Florida, across to
the chapparal court of Cortinas on the Rio
Grande, giving audience to Plenipotentia-
ries from Texas on the south-west, thence
up north and west to the shores of the Pa-
cific, again across the continent east west,
north and south, in every direction, the
principles of this party, where they exist
at all, are one anu the same. Its members
act in unison and concert for the success of
their measures, the triumph of their princi-
ples, and, ás they believe, for the prosperi-
ty of their country.
It is the same sort of Democracy that
nerved, animated and cheered onward,
amidst perils and gloom, our Revolutiona-
ry Fathers in their struggle with Great
Brittain for ¡independence. It is the same
that has hitherto conducted us, as a na-
tion, to our present pitch of greatness and
glory. It is the same principle that im-
pelled and gave birth to the national war
cry of" Millions for defense, and nota cent
for tribute," when threatened by France at
an early day in the history of our Govern-
ment, It is the same Democracy who, in
1812Í, threw down the gauntlet of defiance
to the British lion (and who whipped him
afterwards) when every tongue gave utter-
ance to the memorable sentiment of that
" Son of Thunder, and Master of Assem-
blies," flenry Clay, "Free Trade and SaiLr's
Rights." It is the same Democracy who,
in 1803, purchased the priceless territory
of Louisiana, and afterwards that of Flori-
da, the " fabled land." It is the same
glorious and victorious old party who an-
nexed Texas to the Union, conducted the
war with Mexico, added New Mexico and
California to our territory, and glory to our
name as a nation. It is the same good old
fashioned Democracy that fought the bat-
tle of San Jacinto, made Gen. Houston
what he once was,but not what he is now.
It is the same principle which originated
and brought into action the proud and
daring achievements of our naval and mil-
itary heroes, on sea and land, and which
has and will still adorn the annals of our
country with the names of Philosophers,
Orators and Statesmen, equal and superior
in their various spheres to other names?
ancient and modern, and above all others,
it has given our country the peerless undy-
ing name of Washington. Yes, it is the
same Democracy who elected eight Demo-
cratic Presidents, and who, we hope, (next
to our salvation) will add another to the
list in 1861.
'As " King Richard was in the mighty
hold of Bolingbroke," so with this living,
vital, active, truthful principle of Democra*
cy. It is still in the mighty bold, and safe
keeping of the people of this Union; it is still
the trutb;itis built upon a rock; its principles
are the 6ame yesterday, to-day and forever,
and the gates of Hell cannot prevail against
them. Without any variableness, or shad-
dow of turning, the members of this party
are, one and all, devoted to its principles
and teachings. Its inspirations and prompt-
ings are from Heaven, and ¿well up in the
heart of the true Democrat for the Liberty
and happiness of the human race, and the
" rest of mankind."
These truths, or correct opinions of po-
litical government, which, for the time be
ing, are "crushed to Ofth," " shall never-
theless rise again," and flourish in pristine
purity aud splendor, undimmed, unspotted
and -unhurt, from the " war of elements,"
and the perversion and false teachir.gr> of
its euemies to rule the world, and perpetu-
ate our American svstem.
OUR SCHOOLS.
We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement, in another column, of
the " Masonic and Odd Fellow's School,"
at Chátfield's Point. Located in a beauti-
ful acd healthy section of our county, in a
community famous for its morality and
intelligence, and conducted by a gentle-
man of reputation and a minister and schol-
ar, we prophesy for it a merited and bril-
liant success.
This is only one of the fine schools of
which Navarro boasts. In this place we
have the "Corsicana Female Institute,''
under the control of Rev. N. P. Mod rail,
and a Male Academy, of which Dr. Mal-
loy is Principal, which will compare favor-
ably with any other Institutions in the
State, Both of these gentlemen have been
here soma time; long enough, at any rate,
to show the community that they are em-
inently qualified for the delicate and diffi-
cult task of educating and training the
minds of youth. The interest manifested
in the welfare of these Institutions shows,
most conslusively, that in no community
are the advantages of education more gen-
erally felt, or highly appreciated. All seem
disposed to further the aim oí the State in
its liberal provision of the education of
youth—a most commendable spirit, and
one that will bring its reward.
While speaking of our schools, we |
would call the attention of our citizens to !
the buildings occupied by them, which are ;

to a lack of public spirit in the communi-

merely results from neglect, and all that is

f£¡r The election for city officers, on
Saturday last, resulted in the choice of John
W. Stewart, Esq., Mayor ; Messrs. Croft
Butler, Donaldson, Haynes and Moss, Al-
dermen ; and W. O. Smith, Constable.
Although many of our City Fathers
lack thosejAIdermanic proportions, general-
ly thought essential for such offices, yet
we reckon that our Mayor has enough of
the turtle-soup rotundity to save the char-
acter of the Board, and that we shall have
a good City Council.

before somebody gets his head shot off by
some of those stray balls that are whistling
around here occasionally.

ment of J. R. Porter, Esq., as a candidate
for Assessor and Collector. We hardly
think it worth while to say anything to
you about Jim, for you all know him to be
a good and faithful officer, as well as a
whole souled clever fellow. He has serv-
ed you before, guarding?the rights of the
State with jealousy, and, at the same time,
showing you all the eourtesy and leniency
in his power. He is now acquainted thor-
oughly with the business, and is as capable
of discharging the du ties of the office as
any man in the county.
Our friend, J. B. Gallaher, though burnt
out, has arisen again, and is now arrang-
ing his plumage for a larger and more ex-
tensive business than ever. He has bought
out the extensive establishment of Kelsey,

all. The stock on hand together with a
very large stock, just purchased in the
North aud shortly to arrive, will make
about the most complete stock to be found
any where. Such enterprise as he has ex-
hibited will win.— Telegraph.
