. What is Democracy Now? . It' will be well to inquire every month, what is Democracy now? To be sure the inattentive devotee to the ‘name Democracy rests on that time - honored name as’ his rock of defence ,VWitho‘i‘xt think"ipg or knowing that under a hallowed name a dishonest apd corrupt set of men may work the gr::t\ est outrage, tyranny and wrong and yeb gll’of the time Ze may be resting on.'conscious security upon the mere mist, the mere vapor of a name. How few would mow remain in the self-dub-bed Democratle ranks if they were aware ¢f the fact, of ,the continyal .changes which the leaders make, down, dowtii from one position to.another, each more and more dangerous to popular rights than the one which precceded it. Reader, how has it been for the last 10 years? this short span—what strides towards despotisth has this false named Democracy made in the short space of ten years? Y s o b

Ten years ago Democratic State Conventions, resolved, and pablished to the world that “slavery was politically, morally, and socially wrong,” and dep-' recated its existence under any eircum- | stances: Democratic Legislatures in all the Northern « tates except one, passed resolutions instructing their Senators and requesting their representatives to vote for a proviso, forever excluding | slavery from the Termiforics of the United States. Demoeratic Statesmen | spoke and wrote in its favor. But.? hark! a rumbling sound is heard—it is | in the direction of the South—-it ‘comcsi nearer and neargér——soon you can heari the loud erack of the whip—itis the man-breeders whip, and with it comes;i the voice, “Democrats, down in _the‘ dust! take back those resolutions which | you have passed—forswear those sélemn | declarations which you have made!. A | silent pause and stillncss ._'«éaﬁhé;,uponz‘ those who have just been loudly vocit' erating for' the Wiln}ot'jﬁrovisoi A trembling and shaking of Kuees like an electric shock &cemed to pervade the whole line. Pretty soon their doughty generals #egan to recline—nnd - soon veﬁm&& ‘General Cass fell? To his now acknowledged rightful 150vereigns‘ he asked for absolution fggm the past— ' and published a ‘change of heart’ fo’rl the futare. As fell General Cass, so fell in course of time, the lieutenants, coloriels, and privates of the Demogeratic army. But a passive change was rot all that was required.. The crack of the whip, and tk%mcc of the wielderssaid, “denouncc as dangeros, file, and treasonable whoever shall attempt o maintain the pﬁne@w@ﬁhxww have Jnsf cast oﬂ%” i : ‘vgg “ i - The history of the times will shaow that if was obeyed.

James Buchanan was e: lected and' as the oracle of the Slave God in connection with partizan judges say again—¢Northern: Democrats! forswear again all of ;hos,,e‘ﬁ"eclgrations which you made in 1856—denounce them as treasonable—for tﬁ% Constitution of your eountry does not ullow you to vote slavery out of the Territories. It is sacred there—Down again!—Dblaspheme and curse all who believe what you said in 1856.” And did pure Democrats kncel down and ery holy to this! —they did. =~ . . But here says Buchanan—whén you come to vote on state Constitutions then'you may surely vote against or for slavery. ; . ; - This peint is soon reached, and the people of Kansas say, Jim Buchanin dont youl en}em‘o'ei' your promise? Al yes, says the old gentlemen, you had delegates elected, I don't think nag that it is necessary. Dowi &gain Dc!pbcruts

The Vice Dresident of the United States thinks that a constitution can be made forthe people withont their interference just about as'well as with it. Thereforc the people can tend to their faims and pot trouble themselves about Clonstitutions that they are to live ynder—such a set of priceless. ‘scoundrels as

made tne Lecompton one, can do it up for them all rlght, and oblige them to live under it. A precious blaspheming upon anything that has any Democracy irf it, is this. : / “The startling doctrine hasstarted in this country, that a constitution has no validity until submitted to a vote of the people. Congress had anthorized Kansas to form her own institutions in her own way. ‘She chose that peeuliur, way and Congtess had no right to inteifere in the matter, =~ ... ./

Kentueky submitted her new consti~ tution to the people because she wanted to, but if she had chosen not to do it, it would have no business of éoogress‘ or any bedy else. [Cheers@nd cries of “That’s go.”] T'd like “to haye seen Congress attempt to interfere in.regard to the submiggion of our constitution!’ As an abgﬁwt “proposition, I will neveFsubmit to it. [Ch;eei‘s.ai I will never ¢onsent that Congress shall have a right to reject a Constitution beeause the people of a territory chose not to submit it to the people. = f&

T s Wﬁ% had quite an enthuEﬁaat:c ~demonstration 2t Chicago on Saturday last. - SenamTrmbull spoke from the balcony of the Tremont House, to a multitude of thousands. His speech was replete with sound argument and eloquence, and elicited the unbounded applause of his anditors, from the commencement to its close.. _ We have only space to copy from it upon only a single point, and that upon the economy ot the Demoeratic Administration in power. And here we beg our readers to ponder well the pretended simplicity of the latter day democratic institutions. See a sample only ot what the administration is doing for iits‘ supporters—see how with careless ‘and reckless hand, the people’s money |is'thrbwn away upon heartless vaga. ‘bends, who are thus put under pay to %sqpport James Buchanan and his dy‘nasty. Look at it honest Democrats! Alere in one instance five hundred dollars “apiece are paid to men for one dolhar that they collect for the governsy ‘ment. S o : e i

This is'the way, reader, that your money is squandered. All of this is constitutional; but it is unconstitutional to improve your harbors and rivers to save from" ruing .milliqns'up’on millions of our inland commerce. .

1t is uncomstitutional for you not to have Slavery planted all over our land: Tt is uncovnstitutional v_,_for ‘you not to be blood-hounds for the higger-drjvers ‘of the South.” And it's got to be unconstitntional for Northern Democrats to bave garden seeds from Washington. But lo! it’s worthy and'supremely con~ stitutional for this man-enslaving administration to pay a favorite five hundred dollars for collecting one. : Reader look at theothet less flagrant examples, and see how one hundred millions of money are wasted in a year.

Gen: Pierce expended more money during four years of peace than pur government expended for the first thirty years after its-organization.! In 1823 the expenditures of the Governs ment for all. purposes, exclusive of the the public debt, $9,784,1564 59. In ‘1857, the expenses of the Government exclusive of the public debt, were $69, 082,659 76. Lhe pro rata, accobding to the population in 2823, was 94 cents on each individual. The pro rata in 1857 was $2 28, according to popula~ tion. Now these facts ought to attraet the attention of the ecountry; but perhaps if T were to state in detail some of the wastefulness of this Gowmern‘ment, some of the means by which i these expenses have ‘been increased, it ‘would strjkefsome niinds more forcibly. T will cal} your attention to the city of { Chicago. You have a custom house located here, and in 1852, or for the fiscal year ending in June, 1853, the last year of Fillwore’s Administration, there was collected at Chicago. $lll, 808 86. Six men were employed to collect it, and they were paid $2,882 12 That was a little over two per cent.— For the year ending June 30th; 1856 there was collected at Chicago $145, 662 49. Sixteen men were employed in its icollection, and they were paid $14,349 29 for doipg it. Now I ask you, living right here asyou do,is there any reasoun for this increase of expenditure? . Can you tell me any reason why it cost ten per cent the last fiscal yoar, to collect the revenue at this port, and only a little over two per cenf four years ago. Is' there any reason for it except that the government wants ed to shower the money upon faverites. (Yes there is a reason.) I .don’t know what it is. hc _Deuniocratic party ‘must be snstained.”—Laughter and appiause.] 1 think that is the best reasen: [Renewed Laughter.] They must sustain the office holders. -But Q%rz:s'omy a single cage. - I have the official report here and I wiil state a few other cases to show you how the ‘Qogemment expends’ meney. - There ‘are some other points where the expen-, ditures for collecting the revenue are ‘much worse than at this point. At ‘Wilmiugton, Delaware, there was col~ lected %2,004 95. How many men do you suppose it wﬁa collect that ‘amount, and how'mueh do you suppose ‘they got for it? It took ;eigﬁfﬁ’me‘d,gi the expence bf collecting wass $15,848 %’;twww%mmm be--gau entirely too soon. These ‘are the ‘better sort of cases. At Annapolis, in --Ma?i@nd,' there was collected -the ‘same year, $875 25. /[Renewed laughter.] How many men do you suppose it fook to Cbllect that? ﬂ'fﬁék four: 'men, and they were paid for their ser-l vicess9B3 42. ’Ab‘;&meoke in -North Carolitia, $B2 55 wero collectedin 1857 &nghw,] .1t took seven m%iadq t, [ Langhter] and an economical gov‘ernient, under 2 Democratic adminig~ 1 tration, pmi:gat.se}f ‘on its economy, paid seven men to collect this $B2 55, :mmﬁwggier] At port 03~ ford, in Oregon - Territory—now you ‘would - expect -something extravagant over there—there was collected $5,85 hymar i forcolsin i, 82,100 08."

[“When can we ’hiVé the report!”’ You can have ~tbisfpxy lished itis a public doctment.’ [Ha&"ﬂguglz\s got it?] I presume he has, for he sustains the administration on every pgintl savelone. I will now give you some | account of the total expense of collect- ’ ing the revenue for several yearspast. Tn 1850 Congress passed a law appro~ priating $2,450,000 annually to defray | the éxpenses of collecting the revenue | east of the Rocky Mountains. During | Taylor and Fillmore’s administration ! sthe whole revenue éast of the Rocky | ; Mountains was collected for about two ~million dollars per annum, leaving ai surplus of more. than $1,600,000 at% ‘the end of the four years. During the four years of the adwministration of Gen: Picree, he used up the $2,450,000 per annum, and every dollar of the i $600,000 remaining over from the Fill- ' ‘more_administration besides, After i,;ﬂr. Buchanan came into _power, Mr.‘ Secretary Cobb, in his first report asked’| [ Congress to appropriate $3,700,000 an--nually to collect the revenue-in the [s:gmé district of country where only a- | bout $2,000,000 had been required five | years before.. What was the réason“foré this vast incngase of expense? |
