THE DEMOCRAT.

31. A. 0. PACKARD, :::::: Editor. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, JOccember 17, 1857. i3?Those of our subscribers who wish to -pay their subscription in WOOD are requested to bring it along immediately. The Message. There is no surer index of our stability as a nation, than the universal and exciting o interest felt, among the masses of our country, for the political and diplomatic movements of our rulers. This interest r.ot onIjr exhibits a high degree of intelligence among tho people, especially on questions of National importance, but is a safe check, And on not to bo disregarded, upon the conduct of all :n authority. How different is this stato of things from that in tho old Avorld. The peasants of France, the sen's of Russia, and even tho working class o! our own mother country have, in general, as little concern about the political movents of the government, as a New Zealandcr has of ours. It would be needless to attempt to show that the difference in the. forms of government in these countries and that of our own 13 the result of a difference in the dissemination ef popular, and especially political, intelligence. The mind catches at tho conclusion at a glance. We were naturally led to these thoughts by observing the intense interest throughout our entire country awaiting the publication of the President's message. Thanks to steam and lightuing, that much desired document 13 now distributed to millions of readers. Wo publish in the issuo of this week a fur and reliable synopsis from the Detroit Free Press the Message itself arrived too late for publication. We have read it carefully, and it fully comports with the sagacity and diplomatic wisdom cf its author. Although a redun dancy of words ha3 been carefully avoided, yet the Message, owing to tho numerous subjects treated of, is necessarily lengthy. On the Kansas question the views of tho President are not materially different from what we expressed in our leader of last week. Ho regards the Lccoroptoa Convention as a legäliezd body, so recognized by Congress on several occasions, and as having acted undr legal authority; and in hi3 view they fully complied with the Kansas-Nebraska Act by fcubmittinthc only question contained in it, viz: that of finery, to the approval or rejection of the people. This posHon he supports by a reference to the language of the act itself. It was "not to legislate slavery into any tcritory, nor to exclude' it therefrom, hut to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and reyuiuie aittr uumtsitc lusiituituns ie mcir own tciy.' "Domestic institutions," ? ho holds here, to have a direct and appropriate reference to ths institution of slarery this being the only question before Congress at that time. He further deems it a matter of policy to settle now and Jorcver, lhe difficulties of Kansas, which have al ready occupied too much of the public attention, and which in the event may terminate in civil war. Under all these circumstances, ho thought that after the slavery clause of the jTonstitution had been fairly submitted to 4he people , tt ought to bo admitted nnder the same. But at tho same time that he recommends this course to Congress he adheres with unswerving, fidelity to the principles cf popular sovereignty; esteems this the true policy oi our government, and the legitimato offspring of civil liberty. It U evident, therefore, that while policy and his duty a3 an executive lead him in one, direction, his private principles lead him in another. ' Th discussion on this question has al ready begun in Congress. The voice of the gallant Douglas is heard in defense of that principle, for which he has so long, and 6o manfully contended. He retracts, ho concedes nothincr. The submission of ach and every qnestion to the voice of the peopl, is the true, the only definition he will receive of popular scereignty. Hero, as in every other question," the mass of the Democracy will stand by. this great cham pion of political lights. Th5 present probability is that the Con titution will be submitted to the people a3 directed thereinKansas will be admitted into the sisterhood of States quiet will bo given to her distracted people; and that wild sea of excitement which has so long agitated our country, and on which a dis union, sectional party had hoped to sail in to power, will be allayed, and they, while they thought themselves, liko Pharoah's -Host walking on dry land, will be over Trhelmed in the midst thereof an even . fraught with blessings, not less to be desi red by the world than the destruction o old.' ' ' Jhere are many other questions of vita!

interest touched upon in tho Message, but wo defer further comment at this time. Wo shall soon lay tho entire instrument before our readers, and then they can form their own opinions upon the same, as their best judgments shall direct

A Hint. It has been suggested by one of our fellow-townsmen who, by tho way, is a Mechanic with a heavy outstanding debt that if tho Farmers who have contracted debts with the Mechanics and others, would bring in their produce, and square up those claims, even if they did have to sacrifice somewhat on the price, the times, locally considered, would be very much improved. This is evident, on a moment's reflection. Business only can move as the Farmers move. If they withhold their produco from market, thero must be a general suspension. Now, wo do not mean that they should make a general market for their grain at tho low figures now offered, orly that they should pay those debts for which their creditors aro so much in need. Here i3 an example: Mr. Cabinet Ma ker has furnished Mr. Farmer's new house with a good, substantial set of furniture, and agrees to wait with him till " after har vest. " " After harvest " comes, but prices aro so reduced -Mr. F. refuses to sell his grain, and hence Mr. C, because Mr. F. can't make money out of the matter, don't get his debt paid at all. The consoquenco is C.'s shop is shut up, his "jours" go unpaid, and his family suffers, for ho, unlike Mr. F., has no stoiehouso of grain on which he can fall back, and rest in peace and plenty. This picture is not overdrawn. It is a simple statement of lacts. Let tho Farmers, their, bring in. their grain and pay their honest debts. Thi3 will encourage the Mechanics and business men. Their shops will be re-ope ncd business receive a new impetus prices for all kinds of produce be advanced, and tho Farmers ultimately reap a rich harvest from "their own fair dealings. Remember this hint, and " owe no man anything. " tTWe had, the other day, the pleasure of n:i introduction to Prof. Geo. Bovma ! of Delphi. He appears liko a gentlemanly sort of a fellow, and a man, we should think, well fitted for tho business in which he is eniraared. Ho is around introducing the series of school books, which have lato ! ly been adopted by tho Stato Educational Board. " He haa established an agency for the same at Pershing & Co.'s. Donation Visit. Rev. Mr. Watkixs, of the M.E. Church, will receive a visit from tho members cf hi? congregation and numerous friends, at the residence of Wm. M. Patterson, Esq., on Tuesday, afternoon and evoning, 22d inst. It is to be hoped that there will bo a general turn out and a liberal donation. Let the citizens of Plymouth do something worthy of themsolves. A general good time is expected. All are respectfully invited to attend. For the Democrat. Democratic Policy and Kan sas. Mr. Editor: It seems that I was right in my conjectures as to the views of the President on the Kansas Constitution, and ho language U6ed by Mr. Buchanan throughout his whola message on all sub jects, can admit of no misconstruction. Since I have been old enough to read, I have never seen so able a state document. With the immensity of our Government details around him, he has touched them all, in a message comparatively brief, sat isfying the mind with what he says, and in language almost sublime in its simplici ty, yet comprehensiveness. Everything is direct to the point firm, yet kind, evinc ing the statesman, the hero, the scholar. and at the same time the kind hearted and politic gentleman and pater familias, that sees all, governs all, protects all, guides all and loves all, full of consciousness of right and strength, and doing the one and refraining from the use of the other always when possible. Truly, the people did wise ly in making Jamas Buchanan Chfc Mag istrate at this particnlar juncture, though he is sufficient for any and all times. His Kansas policy is doubtless nght.While he holds that the Constitution should have been submitted, commends the law for Minnesota which required, for the first time, a Constitution to be submitted to the peoplerecognizes that as the true doc trine, and one that ought to bo carried out in all cases; yet, in as much a3 the Lecompton Convention were not absolutely requir ed to submit the whole Constitution to the people, and ia as much as the Free State men refused to participate in the election from which the Convention finally derived its existence, and in as much as the slavery clause the real bone of contention is to be submitted, ho thinks the people

ought to vote, and if anything else is tobe done, let Congress send the mattar back to the people. If the people refuse to vote, and the Constitution i3 adopted, by those who do vote, as a slave Constitution, (for the pro-slavery men will doubtless vote,) the Constitution will then be adopted, and civil war may result. Tho mere act of voting on the slavery clause will be no ratification of the Convention. The Delegate of the people in Congress will amply pro-

tost against the Convention, and the act of voting will show tho love of the people for law and order, while they unqualifiedly condemn all attempts to rulo by any authority other than that of the expressed will of the majority of tho people; and Congress will doubtless send back the wholo matter t the poople for a second vote. The whole democracy are in favor of a repudiation of tho Convention, and the President refuses to recommend its being sustained. The position of the Republican party now is not an enviable one. Their first and only principle (ostensiblo) was that the Congress should mako tho laws for tho territory. Now they are crying for Congross to repudiate tho nets of a Convention who have carried out that principle, to-wit: tho assumption and centralization of power. The Democracy wish tho people to mako their own laws the Republicans would havo Congress to do it for them; now they insist that tho people aro deprived of tho power, and ought to havo it. Verily " consistency coi?d be a jewel " with them if they had it; but they have not, and never will have. We, the Democracy, are on the right track, with eternal principles, with ablo public servants, and the people are with us heart and soul, and unparalleled prosperity must be the continued result. Wo may now expect long and loud Wallings over tho extravagance of tho government, from tho Republican press. Tho last plank ha3 gone from them, and they will deem the seventy-five millions expenditure of the past year a hook to hang a hope on. Vain hope! We have thirty millions of peoplo at home; in to f course with every iution under heaven; offices increased one thousand fold, and a hundred reasons for increased expenditure; and yet it is but littlo more than that of any opposition Ad ministration we have had, with scarcely any of the calls we now havo for extra ex pense. Such a nation, and to carry on its wholfl machinery for seven ty-fivo millions of dollars per annum, is an example of economy that puts all other nations lo tho blush, and will stand as a matter of strango surprise before generations to come. No other nation under heaven can do tho same thing for two hundred millions; and better would it bo for us, did we expend that much; for thero i3 no taxation. It all comes from tho purse of the importer, foreigner and extravagant, who rely on foreign w:. res to minister to their luxury the money goes out amongst the people to find its way into general circulation, and costs the poor and the honest nothing. Cold and poor comfort such fault finding will prove. Tho miserable contempt into which tho Washington Union has fallen, should be a warniog to our opponents, from whatever source they may spring. If wo so punish one of our own household, who i3 a traitor o his faith, what can our open and avowed enemies expect from us? Tho Ohio States man, edited with such unexampled ability, deals tho last of a series of blows, vigor ously commenced by its ablo cotcmperary, the Chicago Times, in an articlo headed States Rights Assailed, " which no sound headed, right feeling man can read and not launch while he admires the last scenes of the 11 death " of the notable game. We can commend its doctrine to every man in tho nation. . VERITAS. CONGRESSIONAL. NEWS. Thirty-Fifth Congress First Session. Washington, Dec. 7. Tin weather here to-day is charming. Dense crowds in the galleries and other portions of the Capitol, and tho greetings between members and friends are pleasant and oxciting. senate. Fifty Senators were present when the tody was called to order by the Secretary, who read a letter from the Vice President, stating that he would not be able to reach Washington by the comn.encement of the session. Un motion of Mr. Benjamin, a lesolution was adopted, (hat the oath prescribed by the Constitu tion be administered to the new Senators by Mr. Bright, the oldest member present.

The Senate adjourned without transacting any other business. House. On call of tho roll at 12 o'clock 222 members answered to their names, and a quorum having thus been ascertained to be present, the House proceeded to the elecof a speaker. Jas. L. Orr, of S. C. was nominated by Mr. Jones, cf Tennessee, and Hon. G. A. Grow, of Penn., by Mr. Banks, with tho following result: Orr, 128; Grow, 84; scattering 13. Mr. X)rr was declared elected. Tho annunciation of tho result was greeted with aplause. The clerk appointed Messrs. Stephens of Ga., and Banks of Mass., a committee to conduct Mr. Orr to tho chair. The oath was administered by Mr. Gidding. On a ssuming it, Mr! Orr expressod thanks for tho honor conferred on him, and said the delicate and responsible duties of tho chair would bo comparatively light if he should bo so fortunate as to securo the cordial co-operation of the members in dispatching business and upholding the dignity of the House. He promised to administer rules which may bo adopted with firmness and impartiality. The great business confided lo them, admonished them to cultivato patriotism as expansive as the confederation itself. He cherished tho hope that business would bo transacted to promoto tho interest and happiness of the entire people; that tho Constitution would be maintained in its integrity, and that their legislation would quicken the greatness and glory of our common coutry. Tho members were then sworn, advancing by delegations for that purpose. Washington, Dec. 9. Senate.--T1io galleries were densely crowded again this morning in expectation of a speech from Senator Douglas. Mr. Pujjh gavo notice of his intention to introduce a bill for tho improvement of the navigation of the Ohio river. Mr. Mason offered a resolution which was debated and passed, inviting the clergymen of the District to officiate gratuitously as chaplains of tho Senate. Mr. Gwyn gavo notice of his intention to introduce bills providing for constructing the Northern, Southern and Central Pacific railroads.

Also, a bill to organize tho Territory of Anzonia. Mr. Douglas said ho was yesterday under the impression that the President had approved the action of the Lecompion Convention, and under that impression he felt it to bo his duty to state that while he concurred iu the general views of the message, yet so far as it did approve or indorso the action of that Convention, ho entirely dissented from it, and would give his reasons for such dissent upon a more careful and critical examination of the message. He rejoiced to find tho Presi dent had not entirely approved the action of that Convention. He was also rejoiced to find that the President had not recommended that Congress should pass laws receiving Kansas into the Union as a State under tho Constitution framed at Lecompton. It is true tho tone of the message in- j dicates willingness on the part of tho President to sirn any bill Congress might pass receiving Kansas as a State into the Union under that Constitution; but it was a very significant fact that the Ptesidenthad refrained from any endorsement of. the Convention and from any recommendation as to the course Congress should pursue in regard to the admission of Kansas. Indeed the President had expressed deep mortification and disappointment that the whole Constitution was not submitted to the people of Kansas for their acceptance or rejection. He proceeded to show that Congress could not properly receive Kansas into the Union under the Lecorapton Constitution; not only the slavery question but all others, must be submitted to the people of Kansas, as they are guaranteed to estau.isn an ineir aomesuo institutions for themselves. On this principle tho whole Constitution must bo submitted to ascertan whether or not it meets with their approbation. Mr. D. contended that tho people of Kansas ought to have an oppor tunity to voto against tho uonstuuuon u they choose to do so. He compared the freedoiu allowed by the Lecompton Convention to the freedom at the election in Paris when Louis Napoleon was elected President. The reason assigned why the people of Kansas were not allowed to vote on the acceptance of the Constitution pre pared, was, that if they bad the chanco they would vote it down by an overwhelming majority. He believed they would, and thought it was a clear violation of tho organic act thus to force tho obnoxious Constitution upon the majority. When Mr. Douglas concluded thero was great applause in the galleries. Mr. Bigler replied to Mr. Douglas, say ing the Convention was called "according to law, and had been recognized by the President and the Governor of the Terri tory. It was their right to submit the Constitution to the people or send it to Congress without submission, if it was right in itself and republican in form, and the people had fairly decided the slavery question. It would not be wise to keep them out of the Union simply because the whole Constitution has not been submitted to them. To do so would be inconsistent with the doctrine of non-intervention.-There was nothing in the past history of the country to justify such a course. It would be the duty of Congress to look at the question as it came before them and do the best they couM, looking at the happiness of the entire country. He had long been under the impression that it would be the beat both for the country and Kansas that the State should be admitted at the first favorable opportunity, in order to legalize the strife. He would have preferred that the Constitution had been submitted to the people, but parsons outside of the Territory have no right interfering with the slavery question there. He believed

the people of Kansas. now havo an opportunity to decide whether to have a free or slave Sute. lie however would not determine his entire course until they shall make such decision. He said the position of Mr. Douglas to-day was in utter derogation to that which ho occupied when he voted for Toombs' bill, which proposed to make. a Stato Constitution and put it in operation without submitting it to a vole of the people, and this oniy a short time ago. lie could not understand how Douglas had so readily become sensitive regarding the rights" of the people, after having attempted such an infringement upon them.

Senator Douglas I am certain Senator Bii'ler does not speak for the Presipent I know the President h.is just spoken for himself in his message m which ho condemns the convention for not submitting the constitution to the people, and refused to recommend us to receive it. The President is a bold frank man, and if he intended to give us an administration measure he would say so; it is not respectful to 23sumo that he will do what ho will not recommend us to do. Of course I know the Senator from Pennsylvania did not speak from any authority. Bigler I think I am snfr in saying, and I think the senator from Illinois will agree that tho President upholds in his message tho doctrine that tho convention had the right to form a constitution and submit it to the people for approval or send it, up to Congress without approval. I think it is deducible from the message that the President does not uphold that because the entire constitution was not submitted to tho people, Kansas should bo kept out of the Union. Judge Douglas I infer from the message that the President does hold that a convention had a right to form a constitution and send it here, but that was only the right to petition for redress e-f grievances under the federal constitution and not because tho Legislature had the power to constitute that a legal convention. Bigler Where did you get that? Judge Douglas replied A gentleman (meaning Trumbull) yesterday read from a speech made by Mr. Buchanan that the Legislature had no right to create a convention to supercede Territorial trovernment, and lo attempt it would bo a gross rni i . usurpation, ine democratic party nas held that doctrine ever since, and asseited it a year ago by endorsing his (Douglas') report from committee on Territories. Three hundred thousand copies wero cir culated as party documents. He himself paid for one hundred thousand copies of them (Laughter.) Bigler entered his protest and claimed the statute of limitations. Ho could not consent that Senator Dougles should hold the President responsible for principles i j i . t . i laici uown twenty year3 ago unuer entirely different circumstances. It is not half so long fince Douglas declard that tho Missonri line was a sacred compromise. In 1848 he proposed to extend it to the Pacific Ocean, yet he repealed the whole of it. Mr. Douglas denied the right of Bigler to offer the statute of limitations. None but the authorized attorney of tho party can thus interpose. The Senator has denied me authority to speak for tho President. He cannot file that plea. Douglas approved of the statute of limitations. He needed one very much himself. He had never boasted he had never changed his opinions. He felt every year a little wiser than the year before. Had the President over withdrawn that opinion in which he denied the right to plead the statute of limitation against tho Cincinnati convention? Until the Charleston convention meet, he stood now where he stood last year because he believed he was right? It was true that he voted for Tombs' bill, and was ready to vote for it again; if by doing so thero would ba no quarrel it would not do to taunt him with once voting for a measure he would not vote for now. After further debate tho matter was postponed and the Senate adjourned. Washington Dec. 10. Mr. Douglas gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill at an early day to enable the people of Kansas to form a constitution and State government preparatory to their admission into the Union. "Have you 'Blasted Hopes?' " asked a lady of a green librarian, whose face was swollen by the toothache. "No ma'atn, but 1 have a blasted toothache." "Boy," said a traveler to a little fellow whom he met, clothed in pants and roundabout, but minus of another very neccesary article of apparel "Boy, where's your shin?" "Mamma's washing it." "Have you no other?" "No other!" exclaimed the urchin with indignant scorn; "would you want a body to have a hundred shirts?" . gr'Somo idea may be formed of the size of the mammoth British vessel, the "Great Eastern," from the fact that the painted surfice inside and out, measures about 130,000 yards, or more than twenty-four acres. -Gov.

Somehow or other the impression has got abroad in the country that Oglesbee k Shirley have failed, and made an assignment. This we desire to correct, and if and doubt the correction, let them just step into the "People's Store" and see the piles i oi goods sold there every day, chaea for "ready pay." This error probably grew out of the fact that the old firm of N H. Oglesbee k Co. have made an assignment; and all-knowing themselves indebted to the same will save costs by calling and settling immediately. Sec adFertiement headtd "A Rare Chance to Make Money." M.
