The Declaration ol IndependenceThe
Tesl Applied.
As we anticipated, the Age, whenlirotiztitto the
tot, diccards the true democratic idea promul
gated by Jkpfebaon and tlie fathers of the re
puullc, and puts iu its place the modern sham
notion of democracy, which Is notUiu? more
than a very absurd kind of aristocracy. It de
nies that the Declaration of Independence, when
it sajs "all men are created equal," means a:l
men. To support thia view, it makes the
rinpularly weak argument, that the main p'trt
of the Declaration being a recital ol the eriev
ancea of the colonies against the mother country,
the general statements in it must be taken a
limited also to them. It Is a sufficient reply to
this that the document, on itsvery face, wil
admit of no such construction. Faucy the ab
surdity of saving, "We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all the people of these Colonies
an? created equal 1" Jefferson, who drew up the
Declaration, was a loeiciau, and he reasoned iu
this case trom generals to particular". Ho atarti
out with certain truths of universal application,
and Belt-evident in their character; aud from
these he descends to the particular instance ot
the American Colonies.
We shall enter Into no attempted argument to
prove a truth which .the Fathers well averted
to be "self-evident." They bald -"all men," a;id
they meant all men. The equanty ol any smaller
number, as of the people of the Colonies, for
instance, would have been in no sense "sell
evident," except as it spruug from the wider
truth that alt men are created equal. The
Declaration ot Independence was an appeal to
the moral sense of the world in justification of
the Auierican Revolution. The truths enun
ciated in it are the fundamental truths of
human rights everywhere. They wero'
so regarded at the time. "Let it never be tor
gotten," was the language of those great men
after the sirueale was over aud American inde
pendence had been achieved, "that the cauc for
which we have contended is the cause of
Human Nature." The iuteipretatioD which the
Age gives to the Declaration is toe weak inven
tion of a later day, and of men w ho, while they
have no iaith in human rights, are still fond of
mouthing the word "Democracy." They h ive
not the boldness to say, as Judge Ptnir, oi In
diana, once did, that t no Declaration is a .self
evident lie; but they seek to rob it of its beauty
and power, and to make it self-evident non
sense. The trouble with the Age politicians, us ws
told them the other day, is that they are not
Democrats. Ttiey do not believe in democracy,
What they caU democracy is a sham and a
cheat. They believe in liberty, but it is tor
their own set merely. They believe in equal
rights, but for lavored classes only. Kiugd and
despots have been good "democrats" after this
60it. True democracy is something wider,
grander, nobler than this. It believes in the
rights of men by virtue of their manhood, and
Independent of all external circumstance and
conditions. It strikes its root deep in the pro
found truth of the unity of the humau family
a truth which lies at the bottom of our Chris
tianity, as well as ot our republicanism.
The Age winces at being called "pro-slavery,''
and then consumes a column iu showing that
the epithet is correctly applied. It acknow
ledge that it defended slaver; to the lat, and
its spirit is unmistakably nro-slavery now. We
accept It, however, as a lavoraole symptom that
the term is beginning to be felt as odious. J t
shows that the progress of the times in regard
to the great truths ot human rights is beginning
to reach even to that low plane upon which the
Age stands.
Representative Men of the Convention.
Ik looking over the list of delegates to the
Convention, we notice a number ot univerially
respected and time-honored names. We see
such as Robert C. Wintorop, William C,
Rives, John A. Dix, Thomas Ewino, George
Ashmun, and a host of like gentlemen, for
every one of whom we have the highest respect.
They are men who have secured reputations,
are men of approved ability, but are also men
who are utterly Incapable of grasping the situa
tion, and acting up to the requirements of
the times. Thirty years ago they were live
men; they were powerful in the political world;
they lived in the atmosphere of accion, and oy
their position proved themselves rapable of
being leaders and directors of public sentiment.
But to-day they are fossilized in their views.
They are still highly respectable, and ngalnst
them no man dare breathe a word of reproach;
but then they are political Rip Van Winkles.
They fell asleep at the time the Whig party died,
and tney have iustwoke up. Thoir view3 are
the views of the Whig regime. They fail to per
ceive that the old times have passed a way, and that
anew time has dawned, and, clinging to the dog
mas of the past, they are perfectly unable to cope
with new issuer, and had better have remained
in retirement. They fought a good tigtit in
their day, but their day is gone; their oppor
tunity Is paBt, and to ouce more reappear upon
the stage la like the return of old Joe Gbimildi,
who sought to perform lus active antics while
seated in a cripple's chair. The remem
brance of their pet records will secure
for them the sympathy of thlr
audience, but influence they have none. We dj
not my this in disparagement of thc-e gentle
men. We hold them iu the highest esteem.

It w ill merely declare that, as the Union party

The Fate of the Constitution of North
Carolina.
Yesterday we asked tho delegates from North
Carolina to the Conveutlon. whether the State
had not rejected the amcuV.ed Constitution. We
append a letter received from Mr. Manly, oue
ol the delegates, in which he tacitly acknow
ledges that tbe Constitution was defeated, but
goes intc an explanation of the cause. He says:
To the Editor of The Evening Telegraph:
Tub Ielkobaph is m'staken in supposing that
tbe rejection of the new Constitution ot the State of
Noith Carolina by the people will have any effect
upon ordinancea or laws passed by the Convention
or Legislature of that Stato for abo'ishlng slavery or
tbe slave code, or for the extension of freedmen's
rights.
Everything which has been done in theae matters
by North Carolina exists and will continue to exist,
irrespective of the vote on tbe new Constitution.
Tbe point submitted and decided by that vote was
whether a now draft, embodying amendments
already made in reaptct to slavery, and other pro
posed amendments not affecting the condition of the
blacks, should be adopted.
II the Constitution has b.'en rejoctod, that rejection
has no other operation than to decline adopting the
titto draft with tbe other amendments proposed, and
leaves all loyal and rational amendments heretofore
made and everything done in relation to tbe black
race untouched. St. E. Ma sly,
One ot the North Caro'ina delejration in the National
Uiilou Convention.
We do not pretcDd to know as much about
North Carolina affair fis a resident of that State,
but If the reuson given be correct, then the 8tate
Is acting most absurdly. If all this diicuB.nou
is over a new draft, which embodies jno new
ideas, we feel a Bincere pity for the time wasted.
We ha?e not seen a copy of the new law, but we
feel confident that It must embody some addi
tional provisions, eNe why the opposition
made by the Kebols and the support given
it by loyalists? And if it is nothing but a
verbal change, why has its defeat been
so carefully concealed? We think there is
something behind till this secrecy, but ore grati
fied anyhow to have some definite information
on the subject. From tbe letter, we may safely
infer that the Constitution, be its principles
what they may, has leen defentcd in the State.
From Mr. Ham-y's letter we deduce the conclu
sion that the new Constitution Is an official
legalizing of the acts performed immediately
after the subjugation of the Rebellion; and the
people by its relection have declared, ai far as
they ate concerned, that tbe laws abolishing
slavery and the blnck code have notthelf appro
bation. ,
The 'ew Ot leans Riot Testimony of n
United States Officer.
A DismouisnED Federal officer, high la com
mand in New Orleans, mentions in a private
letter to a aentlpman in this City, that the in-
. vefctigatiotis now beinjj made with reference to
the late riot in that city confirm previous ac
counts from Union sources of the guilt of the
Rebel police. Kone of the policemen were
killed, and only a few were wounded. On the
other hand, the number of Union men murdered
reaches to forty, while about two hundred were
wounded. He ay that the only safety for
Union men there now l in the presence of the
military.
Massachusetts and South Carolina.
Our Wigwam politicians are felicitating them
selves extensively over the fact that lhe Massa
chusetts delegation and the South Carolina dele
gation walked Into the Convention at its open
ing arm in arm. Even Mr. Doolittls, with his
usual profundity, thinks, or says he does, that
If that sight could only Lave been witnessed by
the people ot Maisacb.ti-'eits, it would instantly
have worked a complete revolution in their
political sentiments.
fcow, we must coufes:-, it produced a very
pretty stoge-eirect to hee th.e u'cnttameu wiln
into the Convention in tnib lovintr and am table
st.vle, and it sboea considerable ekill on the
part of tho managers to open the per
formances in so moving a manner. But
we cannot help reminding our political
wirepullers of the Wig a am that it is
no new thing to rind a certain class of Mas
saohusctts politician waiklnir arm inarm with
those of South Carolina. It used to be done at
every Democratic Convention, even when South
Caroliua was imprisoning Massachusetts seamen
and mobbing her commiHsioners sent to te-t the
constitutionality of South Carolina's laws.
Heuvcn knows wc should be glad to Bee M:is?u
chusctts aud .''outli Carolina in perfect accord,
but it will require something more to accom
plish it than u Wigwam promenade between u
lot of Massachusetts doutrhtace? uad South
Carolina es-lteot'le. Majs-achusetts Is not repre
sented in tbe Wigwam. Some men are there
who live w ithin her boundaries, but the brain.
the heait, the ;.eutinitnt, the moral power of
Massachusetts ure not represented there.
Mc-srs. Okh and Coucn may perambulate up
aDd down the Wigwam till doomsdaj, and it
w ill mean nothing except a political by-play,
unices the fundamental uteus which inform tnc
structure of society in their respective State;
can be brought into livinir sympathy and accord.
The great problem before our country for
solution is well typified by these two States,
aud we wish lliat our Wigwam fricnd could be
biougtit to see that it can never be solved by
peiaiubiila-ory per.'orio.-.iicefi, or epread-eaglc
speeches, or convivial conferences. The problem
in our country is to do away with the antagonism
Utvxen ariHocra"j ami demoiraaj, and to
realize the true democratic idea iu the whole
structure of our society. Now look at Massa
chusetts and South Carolina. Massachusetts is
a true Commonwealth. Its people stand on a
perfect equality beioro the law. It is a State
modelled after and fully realizing the true
Ameiioanidea ot a State.
South Carolina, on the other Land, is an
oligarchy. The minority rules instead of the
majority. The masses of the people are dis
franchised. They are subject to taxation with
out representation. They are forced to obey
laws which they have no veicc in making.
There is no equality before the law. Her
society is composed of privileged classes and
oppressed classes. Her whole structure and
framework of government Is vitally antagonistic
to the true Amcricau idea of u State.
Still more, South Carolina having just b?en
suppressed in a violent :.nd long continued
attempt to overthrow tue Government of the
United States, in w hich attempt she voluntarily
seceded from the Union and abandoned her
relations to her si&terStates, now demands to be
readnuttud, not'uron terms of equality, but
upon those of superiority. She asks that each of
her voters may have two and one-ha f times as
much porter in all national affairs as a voter in
Massachusetts. She asks tor.fue representatives
in Congress, when her voter only entitle her to
two. In short, she demands that her oligarchical
form of government shall give her voters two
and a half times tbe power in the natiou that
they are fairly entitled to wield.
Now does Mr. Doolittle suppose that antag
onisms like these, going to the very foundations
of things, can be reconciled by the pretty prome
nades of Messrs. Orb and Couch on the floor of
his Wigwam ? Is that the extent of his political
sagacity? Is that the lesson he has learned
from our past history ?
The instinctive intelligence of the American
people tells them that this antagonism between
democracy and aristocracy in our country must
cense. They have sacrificed three hundred thou
sand lives to make it cease. They are not now,
through political chicunery, to be defrauded
of the Just victory they have won. lhe demo
cratic republican idea triumphed on the battle
field, and it must triumph In the halls of legis
lation. Our Wigwam politicians, in the name of
peace and union and good-will, are in truth
doing all they can to perpetuate antagonism
aud discord. They would lay up for our
children, and perhaps for ourselves, a repetition
of the terrible struggle through which we have
just passed. So intent are they on political
power that they would keep alive In the body
politic an element of strife and discord, which
is as sure to work out disaster and convulsion
as any physical cause is to produce its natural
effect.
Recent, but kot New. We have had laid on
our desk a little pamphlet by Mr. Hekby Flan
D3ns, entitled "Observations on Reconstruction,-'
which, is a thirty -two paged attack on Con
gress and its policy. It must not be Inferred,
however, that Mr. Flandebs throws any new
light on the subiect. The great body ot tbe work
is composed of pointless poetry and lengthy
extracts from Count de Golnkac. A copy of the
Civil Rights bill is also added.
