" FntLbw'Citizens s' ", . ’ • Among tho duties assigned .to us by tho Democratic party, wo are obliged to address you, .'suiting forth In a plain and,simple maimer tho Issues that will bo submitted to tho x»coplo-at the approaching election. A proper regard for thq opinions of, rten ro quirbs that wo should iendoavor to explain to tho people tho reasons why tho Demo- - cratlc-partyagaln ask’ them to combine in f ono common cause in support of its prlhci . plos and chosen men. >' Tlio oflicos to ho filled In the coping o loction, may not, of themselves, ho of suf flclept consoqupnco to.cxcito pojmjar Inter- yet that of Canal Commissioner in volves largo public trusts, which should on ly bo conlidod toamanof known experl-, unco and integrity For that office tho Democratic paity have choschaslhoir fcan ■ dldato, Arnold PiuMKn, whoso past, lift?, both public and private, Justifies us in say- . ing that ho possesses tho experience, tirm ■ ness and unblemished’integrity, which pre eminently fit him for • that office,' and ren der him worthy of your confidence and choice. But far beyond tho success of any candidate or thb obtaining of any office,aro the subjects now before you to bo examined nml discussed, and by your determination, probably, forever settled. Tlioir infinite importance, not only to yourselves ami to Pennsylvania, but to all the people and States of this confederacy, should stimulate you to a zealous support of tho principles and candidates of the Dem ocratic party. Wo cannot abstain from dwelling upon these subjects, and by our appeals to your reason nml sense of duty to your country and to humanity, we shall, strive to rouse you to an effort that shall bo worthy of tho occasion and your past history. Tho Democratic party of the U. States is the great conservator of this vast political . organization, stretching from, the Atluntip to the Pacific, and covered with teeming millions of freemen. To its guardianship has been confided 'the custody of the sim ple elements of political truth which are at , tho basis of‘our institutions. In nil tho changes of public affairs it has been tho proud privilege of that party to stand by the Constitution of tho country and tore strain all attempts to pervert Its provisions or corrupt its principles. It has been, and still Is, the citadel ut our liberties and tho bulwark of those ju*t doctrines; to estab lish Which tho people rose ns ono man, and with the sympathies of tho whole civilized world overthrew 'an aristocratic and legisla tive despotism, and established a govern ment, which, by its mild and humane tem per,- offered to mankind n hope that, in ono lanajit’least, there should bo a refuge from oppression and intolerance. This has been the duty of tho Democratic partyi and with .unfaltering .fidelity Ims that party kept Us sacred trust. , From the first moment—*jvon boforci'fuo organization of tho government —and while tho States were deliberating .upon the-adoption of the'Constitution of ’ itho country, the great men who wore after- . wards to become tho lenders.of the Demo-,, erotic party exerted their powerful energies’ And intellects to secure upon a flnnfounda- - ‘ Itoih as'upbn a r’6clc,- the principles that arc.- corporate*! In tho body of the Constitution and In Its subsequent amendments. Again, wo sny to tho Democratic party belongs tho duty of standing resolutely and unflinching ly by that Constitution and by tho purest and (host holy of its principles.,' ; The -'earliest history’of’this’'government was identified with tho contentions between the gfoat parties whoso doctrines were tho subjects to which tho thoughts and labors of tho statesmen of/those days were devo ted. ■ The Federal party were anxious to establish a strong consolidated government, made for tho people and to bo controlled by tho men of property, and education and so- - dal condition. Thu Democratic partv re sisted this scheme of grand nationality to ho raised on tho ruins of Independent States, ' and at tho cost of popularliberty, and urged and secured tho establishment of a Govern ment limited and restricted in its powers, acknowledging State sovereignty, intended for tho benefit and welfare of all, based up on principles of equality and justice crea ted fur the people, and governed by tho people upon broad and enduring principles of human rights. During tho many years of Important and stirring political events that have since succeeded those days, tho two parties thus arrayed In tho beginning on opposite sides were often engaged ia disputes arising out of a multitude of ques tions and issues* nil of which could be re solved into, the original ground of conten tion between them. TliOjFodorftl party be ing a parly’ of expediency, and relying upon Stato cruft And political and/ still distrusting tho people, l have,- under va- , 1 rious names and witli ns various pretexts and contrivances, sought by Indirect and crooked ways to obtain those ends and aims ' iVoin which they were driven by tho letter and spirit of tho Constitution- It was sup posed that tho time had gone by when tho people should over bo in danger of any open, attempt to subvert tho Constitutions and its acknowledged principles .by any original political 1 action avowedly ‘directed to such purpose. Implication and forced Interpre tation of its letter, wore tho only moans by which tho pooplo were sought to ho abused, • and their government turned against them selves fur tho advancement and profit of adroit political adventurers.. That' snppo . sltlon was an error, for now wo aro again re minded by the action of a now and danger ous combination, that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. . , Fellow Citizens, wo have again to con front tho samo issues that were made in 1709, and to fight for tho samo principles, that convulsed tills Country thou, ami in vindicating which Jefferson triumphed, and ‘Madison earned the love and gratitude of a thankful people. Tho insignificant and mi nor subjects of dUreroncu that have (br sera o' time past divided tho ’public, men of tho ' country* aro all obliterated by tiio mugni-: tudo of tho question now before you. , Yonr . opponents, under a deluding and tempting , 1 cry demanding that “ Americans shall rule America,!* Imvo.at last, with [forced and compulsive candor, acknowledged that they wish to establish fwo principles. ‘ ( 1. That nono : hut those born in this coun try, shall enjoy the. rights of citizenship. - 2, That there shall ho established a re ligious tost for bfllco. To roach these -ends tho:Constitution of tho United; States, must ho changed or Its iifovlslonsr ovadedj and the spirit ol our )omocraUc Republican form* of govern ment thus altogether subverted. Tho Dec laration of Independence itself charged up qn tho King of Groat .Britain, ns one bf tho most serious grievances hAdet which wdlituV suffurinl,-that “ ho has ehdoav'orud to pro- • vent tho population of these States, for that purpose obstructing tho lows, for tho natur alization' of foreigners,' refusing topass oth ers to encourage their migration hither,and : 1 racing (ho conditions ofipowapproprlnUona of tho hind.” . Tho complaint thus’made, wfi» a pav( of the first; public, protest of a united pooplo, ogaipsb arbitrary ; authority, .arid;.in favor, of .Ilqman. jllffljts*, .'/Thy rou- : ,pouß that then prompted this, Jiuyqboori ov-» ■ or since acknowledged aa, am element of our. > . lublltutlouu that has seburodio us Uio bon ff 1 tk. fidonco of mankind, and been tho first great causo of our marvellous success, as a peo ple. , - 1 , When tho defects ot the Confederation wore- apparent,-and the- necessities of tho public called .for a more stable and perfect .form.of .Union,, tho Constitution was adopt od 5 among its most conspicuous provisions w ..?A h , o i* lutllol ' lt y delegated to Congress to establish an uniform rule of Naturalization, and in the very last clause of the very lost section Of.that Instrumchl the following wdrds wore inserted: «< No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.?’ Thus-sealing, ns itworo, tho Bond of om-uhlon with tho sacred and rational' principle of tho Liberty of Conscience and the right of Private Judgment. I When tho Constitution w.os submitted to - the Stqtes for thoir adoption, it is to bo re membered llampshlro, .N. York, Pennsylvania arid Virginia,.all ratified it, with a solemn declaration of rights, which they set forth as explanations consistent with It, and tvlrichcould not bo abridged or vi6hitcd,;and which they proposed should bo adopted as amendment's thereto. Rhode Island and North Carolina, in a spirit'of sturdy resistance to absolutism and of man ly devotion to tho cause ot Liberty, for thoir own sakes, fertile sake of thoir posterity, and for the sako.of tho human race, ro-as scrlcd the doctrines and dogmas ot tho Bill of Rights, and for a while declined to ratify tho Constitution until these sacred and In violable principles of natural right hero ac knowledged and adopted ns a part ot its text, and in nil of these proposed' amend ments were, incorporated a solemn doclara ■tionin favor of civil and religious liberty.' At tho first session of tho first Congress the amendments to tho Constitution were adopt ed and subsequently ratified, by tho States, and tho first article of those amendments sot tho question at rest forever by declaring , that f * Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,”, It is worthy of observation that when In Convention it was proposed by Mr. Pinckney to,add to tljo Sixth Article the clause prohibiting a relig ious test that Mr. Shertrtan thought it un necessary, the prevailing liberality,being a sufficient security rigainst such tost, after which Mr. Gouvorneur Morris and General Pinckney approved tho motion,’arid it was carried ..unanimously. These enlightened men wore too well aware of the disastrous - consequences attendant upon any interfe rence by the State with the religious opin ions of its citizens. Thq- bloody record of fanatical persecutions was spread outbeforo thetri, and in It they read of those atrocities that were tho darkest stains upon the char actor of tho human race. ’ From the earliest days down to their own time, had tho histo ry of mankind shown that Its advancements in clvilizatlon had been retarded, and some times stifled, In the ferocious conflicts be tween contending sects and exterminating propngundistn. In all parts of the world had fire and faggot, tho sword and tho spear, brutalized men Into implicit obedience to religious they did not understand, and faiths at .which''their consciences re volted. From religious persecution had thoir fathers .fled,;and by 4 emigration had thoir sovereignties’ been established. Up - .to..(hot time, by Qod's provldGnco, had this r ’ hind been the refuge of oppressed men, and witli God*s protection, they wero resolved to dedicate tlioir country ,to fho cause of civilization and religious freedom, and from ’ that day to this lime had thoir noble work remained untouched. May It last forever f But now,'after wo have enjoyed tho bles sings of these sacred provlsioris, has a par ty orison in onr midst, ond with secret, o,ath-bound combinations, resolved to blot out tills pure and life-giving principle, ond by force and violence of law restrain and abridge tho liberties of men, and limit their civil rights by an odious and impious rejig ous test. As citizens of this mighty Re public, as members of tho groat Democratic party, as men .for (ho sake of mankind at largo, wo call upon you to resist this sacri- , logo, and rebuke these against tho honor aud dignity of our Constitution and laws. After tho adoption of tho Constitution, and during-tho administration of tlio older Adams, Congress enacted two statutes, ona concerning alient, and tlio other entitled an act for tho punishment of certain crimes a gainst tho United States, known as tho Al ien and Sedition Laws, immediately up on tho enactment of these statutes, tho States of Kentucky and Virginia passed certain resolutions, condemning thorn as violations of tho letter and spirit of tho Con stitution, and reprobating them ns gross at- . tempts to establish.arbitrary authority, and as subversive of the liberties of tlio people. , Tho Kentucky resolutions weru written by Mr. Jefferson, and those of Virginia by Mr. Madison,; and both of these were, ad dressed to tho Legislatures of tho sovcial ! States, inviting their co-operation to resist these statutes.- Some of tho Legislatures' refused tef co-operate : Virginia'and Kentucky, and pronounced these rcsolu- ; tions to bo of a dangerous, tendency, and, therefore r.ot fit Aubjoct for further consid eration. To'these refusals the. Common- | wealth of Virginia .replied In the form ota' 1 Report drawn by Mr. Madison, and adopt ed by tho Legislature of - tlio Slate in 1700- Tho object of tho Alien law wasoxposed in those resolutions and In that Report, and tho mischievous consequences of Us adop tion wore fully explained and demonstra ted in tboso masterly papers. In thorn it was proclaimed to bo inhuman, impolitic, illegal and irrational for Congress to re strain tho current of emigration, that 'was ■ setting in towards our shores, - caused by ■ tho high tides of civil convulsions and pub lic discord that wore raging in Europe.— Mr. Jefferson there said that tlio Alton law will fUrnlsh now calumnies against ropubll- ', can governments, and now pretexts for tlioao who wish it to bo believed that man cannot ■ be governed but by a rod of iron,.and .that a very numerous and valuable description of tho Inhabitants of thusa Status would, by this precedent, bo reduced as outlaws,, and that “ the mild spirit of our country, nod Us r laws had pledged hospitality and protection, to these friendless straugurd.” ' It was de nounced by Mr. Madison, In Ids report, as* tyrannical In its spirit, and conferring a ' despotic power upon tho President ■’ tohaa* <. , leb “ an alien IVom a country info widcU ho ■! had boon Invited os the asylum ’most au spicious to his happiness, a country .whore,, ho may have formed the most tender con- . nootions, and,whore ho may have, invested his entire property.” ’ , 1 • : This iayv thus resisted, and nullified, and defeated, hover assumed to do more than exorcise a restraining power over ,/HUni}' and harsh ns it was, had no relation to naU -urnilzatlon, and no man among the hardiest of its supporters at that 'day, dared to pro pose the dlsfrfinohlsomout of emigrants or tho abplltlou of tho naturalization laws.- Tho public that was indignant at tlio tyran nical spirit 6f that statute, would have burst ; . out,with ono shout of condemnation at any . attempt to outlaw freemen and reduce them to tho'condition of'Slaves, because they , wohiibom in another: country apd wore of <1 another people. , Upon tho resistance to tiro ' Alien and Sedition Laws, and ipi support of, tho' principles announced In those rosolu-"/ .tlons’amli that Report of *ooj was Mr..

With that Inatitultbn Pennsylva nians have nothing to do, ' Irrtho exorcise of a wise philanthropy,‘wo have long since abolished It.

Should an acquaintance tread-on your dress, your best, your very best, and by accident (car it, how profuse you aro with your “never-minda —don’t think of it—l don’t caro at all. If a husband docs it, he gets a frown ! if & child be is chastised. Ah ! these are little things, say you! They tell mightily on tho heart, let us assure you, little ns they arc. A gentleman stops at a friend’s house, and finds it in confusion. “He don’t see anything to apologize for—never thinks of such matters —Everything is all right”—cold supper—cold room—crying children—“ perfectly comfort able.” Goes homo, his wife has been taking care of tho’sick ones, and worked her life almost out. ‘’Don’t see why things can’t be kept in better order —thfcre never wen? such cross chil dren before.” No apologies except away from home. Why not be polite at home ? Why not use freely tho golden coin of courtesy ? How sweet they sound, those little words, “I thank yon," or “You, arc very kind.” Doubly, yes, thrice sweet from the lips we love, when heart-smiles make tho eye sparkle with the clear right of af fection.' Be polite to your children. Do you expect them to bu mindful of yoiir welfare f To grow glad at your approach » To bound away to do your pleasure before your request Is half sno ken 1- Then, with oil your dignity and autho rity mingle politeness. Give it a niche in your household temple. Only then will you have the true secret of sending out into tho world really finished gentlemen and ladies. Again we say unto all —be pbljtc. Deal Gently with the Erring. That man possesses an extremely low and grovelling mind, who rejoices at the downfall of another. A noble heart, instead of denoun cing os a consummate scoundrel, ono who has erred, will throw abound him the mantle of charity, and the arms of Jove, and labor to bring him back to duty'ainj to Ood. We arc not our own keepers.- Who‘knows when wo shall so far forgot ourselves os-to put forth a right'hand and sin. Heaven keeps us in the narrow, path.
