Democraitc Aristocracy.

A Washington correspondent of the De- \ troit Advertiser writ s: The President has been relieved by the ! return of Miss Lane from the duty of patron | of the fashions, which he was-'compelled to ; discharge during tier absence in j’iiilade!i phia. The President’s equ pige is the most stylish and aristocratic that lias ever been supported by any President. - His horses are faultless in action, his harness is the most richly plated, and his carriage isi-worthy of the animals attached to it. But; what will the Democrats of Michigan say when I tell them that nil this magnificence does not satisfy the heart of their chieftain, but that Mr. Buchanan actually sports live Democrats in liveried coats, with gilded back-bands, and huge brasseous buttons, as driver and outrider. Think of it, Democrats •in livery, a Democratic President puts the badge of servitude upon two American citizens ! When Pierce attempted something like this he quailed before the indignant shout that went up from the flaming throats of the offended sovereigns. There is no law against uniforms ol this sort, and if a citizen choose to Wear these symbols, his choice cannot be gainsaid; but it certainly is a kind of thing which trenches not a little upon those dbctrines of Democratic equality prevalent before the maxims of the Declaration of Independence were found to be glittering generalities.
