WH AT IS DEMOCRACY !
If we are to believe some of the high
flown oratorical displays occasionally put
forth by leading politicians, Democracy
consists of the right of the people to gov
ern themselves, but in doing so yielding
equal and exact justice to all. Were this
theoretical dogma carried out in practice,
but little, if any, fault could lie found with
that party, tor although the majority might
occasionally err, yet it would soon right it
self by coming back to first principles.—
I nder such regulations members of Con
gress would go to Washington to legislate
for the good of the country, take into Con
sideration the measures recommended by
the President and his official advisers, and
if thov believed such measures to be right,
pass them; if wrong, reject them. Such
conduct, in our opinion, would be demo
cratic, and ought to work no forfeiture of
allegiance when arrayed against the Presi
dent, because lie being but one man, is as
liable to error as any other.
Such however is not the practice of those
now in power at Washington. The Presi
dent, advocating a doctrine in opposition to
popular right and the true democratic
creed, punishes those who will not think
with him where he has the power, and his
special adherents, bound together by the
cohesive power of office emoluments, cither
in possession or expectation, denounce those
as enemies to the democratic party who
will not think as does the office head, or
act as do the office holders. If the latter
arc the party, this assumption of public
servants to be masters, is right; hut if the
people constitute the party —if the many
are to govern the few instead of the few
the many, then it is all wrong, and these
servants ought to be both rebuked and pun
ished for their attempt to turn democracy
into a despotism.
No man looking honestly at the mere
question of right as regards the present
condition of Kansas, can for a moment
doubt that the President is wrong and oc
cupying an anti-democratic ground in urg
ing the admission of" Kansas as a State
under a Constitution not submitted to the
people for adoption or rejection, and which
is well known to he repugnant to a large
majority of the people. And equally plain
js it that the position occupied by Mr.
DoUglas and an umber of other democratic
members in both houses, is in accordance
with what democracy ought to he.
If the doctrine that members of Con
gress must carry oili whatever views the
President may recommend, or failing to do
so must be proscribed as ail enemy, why
have a Congress at all ? We might u* well
turn the President into a Louis Napoleo."
or Autocrat, suffer liim to enact laws, and
give him an army to enforce them—for
this would just he as democratic as to send
legislators to the Capitol with tied hands
and locked mouths, speaking only as the
powers that be might direct. The truth is
a great crisis in that party has sprung out j
of this contest, in which either the office
holders or the people will come Out victo- 1
torious —if the former, popular sovcrr'ojnty
will mean for all to do and think as an Ex
ecutive; if the latter, that the majority of
a people, whether as a State or a Confeder
acy, shall give tone and vigor to their in
stitutions, and lead in place of following.
A GOOD USUI..— Four gentlemen of this town on Thurs
day last caught 11.1 speckled trout In a few hours fishing.
The mafiv streams in this vicinity abound with this de
lightful species of the " tinny tribe," and strange as It may
seem, they are as easily taken at this season as any other.
The above paragraph comes to us marked in the Chat
fleld (Minnesota; Democrat, edited by C.C. Hemphill, K*q.
About the time they were catching trout there, we were
catching rtne pike In the Klshacoquillas; while out we saw
a One troct Jumping at shad llles, which were then oil the
water, and have uo doubt that tish could also have been
caught here, had the law permitted Ushlng tor them.
THE TONNAGE I'AX ONCE MORE.
The Hollidaysburg Standard professes to
see nothing in our reply two weeks ago to
the point except our naked assertion that
there is a likelihood the freight on some
articles would be reduced in case of a re
peal, and avers that unless it can be satis
fied that a repeal will be followed by a cor
responding reduction in freights, it will not
yield its opposition- That paper also in
sists a repeal would be simply " legislating
that amount out of the State treasury into
pocket of the company, and the deficit in
the revenues thus created would have to be
made up in some other form of taxation.
Our friend up there is evidently indisposed
to areue the question* of justice or the
principle of taxing trade, both of which
he evades altogether, but acts with much
tenacity on the maxim "Oct what you can,
and all you get hold." And this is about
all that con be said in favor of the State
retaining this tax since the sale of the
main line, given to it too by a quibble of
law, for had the last legislature repealed
the tonnage tax separate and apart from
the bill for selling the main line, the decis
ion of the Supreme Court would have ren
dered it legal, and the intention of the
legislators been carried out. With those
who hold it as a rod over the railroad com
pany, it is almost useless to argue, but be
lieving that our propositions, which we
again append, arc unanswerable on that
side, we challenge any advocate of that tax
to answer them affirmatively with even a
shadow of right, justice, or precedent:
Ist. Is domestic trade u proper wiliject of taxation by
the State?
21. The consideration, for which any epetlllc tax was
levied, having passed away. I s It right to continue such
taxation in one part of the State only?
3d. I- such a principle democratlc?
Pennsylvania Legislature.
The hill, entitled u An Act regulating
the -penalty f<r the sale or gilt of spiritu
ous or malt liquors, wine or cider, or per

This bill abolishes the clause which pro
vides that persons shall be imprisoned if
they sell liquor without license or on Hun
day. It was negatived in committee of the
whole and the House sustained the report.
The hill may therefore he considered as lost.

Foreign News.
The summary of foreign news presents
several matters of interest. Parliament
was to have assembled on the 4th inst. —
The Bank of England had reduced its rate
of discount to four per cent., and a further
reduction was anticipated. Later despatch
es from Tndia had been received, but the
news was of little importance. No fresh
outbreaks had taken place, but several reg
iments hitherto loyal were suspected. Mr.
Commissioner Vek, having returned u an
insolent answer" to the ultimatum of the
French and English, a speedy attack upon
Canton was contemplated. Mr. Heed, the
American Embassador, had vainly solicited
an interview within the city, which Yek
was willing to give him outside of the walls.
The Christians in Cochin China were being
persecuted violently, and the country was
in a state of the greatest confusion.
The congratulatory addresses from the
army to Louis Napoleon were worded so
strongly that even the Moniteur does not
print them all in full. Some of the regi
ments call violently for leave "to pursue
the conspirators to their haunts." A de
cree, announcing the intention of the ( JOY-"
eminent to put a stop to religious contro
versy in the columns of the French press,
had been published in the Moniteur. The
five new marshals in command of the army
of the Seine had been selected. The
French Foreign Ministers are reported to
have demanded of the British, Belgian,
Swiss and Sardinian Governments the adop
tion of certain measures to prevent further
attempts to assassinate the Emperor. Ac
cording to a despatch from Naples, the fa
mous basso Lablache, a premature report of
whose decease some time since brought out
notices of his life in the American journals,
died 011 the 28d ult. A* plot against the
life of the King of Naples, said to have
been concocted by Frenchmen, had been
discovered. HumOrs of other conspiracies
in Itah* were current. Bussia has it in
contemplation, it is said, to restore the ma
rine stations on the Circassian coast, and
to build anew Sevastopol. Serious distur
bances bad broken out in Bosnia.
" The Jerk*." —The Illinois Baptist of Jan
uary 14 says that " This strange infatuation
is again revived in our immediate vicinity.
It made its appearance in a protracted meet
ing among the Methodists at Indian Grave.
The ministers who conducted the meetings
moved thein from Indian Grove to A\oca, and
brought with tlieui five or six jerkers, and
thus the contagion commenced at the latter
place. Our informant was present at several
of their meetings in Avoca. and describes the
scene as very exciting. From fifty t> a hun
dred were jerking at the same time. Their
hands, shoulders, feet and head would be
violently thrown into the most grotesque and
painful shapes. The women's bonnets would
fly off, their hair become dishevelled, and in
some instances snap like a whip. Iti some
instances it attacked unbelievers, and uncon
verted men who tried to resist it by folding
their arms and wrapping them tightly about
their bodies, but in spite of themselves their
shoulders, first one and then the other, would
be jerked back, till they lost all control of
themselves.
Poisnniny Case in Philadelphia. —A curi
ous ease of alleged poisoning has I teen under
examination in Philadelphia, during thepa.-t
week, before Alderman Kniic. A young man
named Robert 1?. Kirkpatrick was charged
with attempting to poison the family of his
brother, Edwin Kirkpatrick, residing in Arch
street, below Broad. About a month ngo a
package WHS handed in at Mr. E. Kirkpatrick's
door, which on opening proved to contain a
very handsome pie, baring a card with this
inscription—" For Mrs. E. Kirkpatrick, from
Kate." Mrs. K. bad frequently received pies
from her aunt Kate, but she did not recognize
the writing of her aunt. The card was
thrown away, and the pic cut the next day at
dinner. A little son of Mr. E. K., eating a
piece, remarked to his mother that it had
medicine in it. The remainder of the pie
was not eaten, but placed in the hands of
skilful physicians for examination, and it
was found to contain arsenic. The accused
was held in $5,000 bail.
Sinyu/ar Movements oj' Catholics. —A t er
mont correspondent writes to tho Congrega
tionalist that, under tho name of a "Spiritual
Retreat," there has been held in the Catholic
Church, St. Mary's, of Burlington, Yt , a
real " protracted meeting," attended with
much of the interest that marked such meet
ings in Evangelical churches, several years
sinci. The exercises of the Retreat wore
conducted, nut by the Bishop and resident
Priests, but by what we should call Evange
lists—known in Catholic phraseology, as "The
Rev. Fathers Walworth, Ilcwif, and Dos
camp." The two first are well known in
England and Now York, from the Protestant
and Evangelical descent—Walworth being the
son ef the distinguished layman. Chancellor

Proceedings of Congress.
In the Senate Mr. Douglas, from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, reported a res
olution authorizing the President to settle all
the difficulties with Paraguay. The Senate
by vote, yeas 23, nays 30, rel'ased to take up
Mr. Douglas' Kansas resolution, calling for
returns of elections held in that Territory, &c.
The consideration of the Army bill was then
resumed. In the House nothing of special
interest occurred. A bill was reported froui
the Committee on Foreign Relations to ena
ble the President to fulfil treaty stipulations
with Denmark for the abolition of the Sound
Dues. Another special committee was au
thorized to investigate a fraud in relation to
the purchase of land by the Government at
Wilkinson's Point, X. Y.
In the Senate on the 10th, Mr. Harlan pre
sented the credentials of Mr. Grimes, the
new Senator from lowa. Mr. Douglas at
tempted to bring up his Kansas resolution,
but failed. The army bill was discussed for
two or three hours by Messrs. Crittenden,
Davis, Houston, Hale and others, but without
taking the question the Senate adjourned.—
In the House the consideration of the bill
amendatory of the act for the safety of pa."
sengers on board of vessels propelled in whole
or in part by steam, was resumed.
In the Senate on the 11th, Mr. Mason pre
sented a joint resolution authorizing the Pres
ident to make arrangements for the reception
of the distinguished Turkish naval officer
now on bis way to this country. A resolu
tion was adopted making an appropriation
to pay for the printing of the Dred Scott de
cision. The consideration of the Army hill
was then resumed. In the House, the Speak
er announced the Special Committee on the
President's Kansas Message, created under
the resolution of Mr. Harris of Illinois. It
is comprised as follows: Harris of Illinois,

and seven atiti-Lecomptonites.
-The Senate was not in session on the 12th.
In the House, John W. Wolcot, the witness
arrested at the instance of the Tariff Investi
gating Committee, was brought up, and, after
being interrogated, was granted until Monday
time to purge himself of contempt in refiw
ing to answer the questions of the Commit
tee. The Committee on Flections made a re
port in the case of the seat of Ilenry Winter
DU\ is contested by Ilenry I'. Brooks. They
d 'em it inexpedient to grant the prayer of
the memorialist, Mr. 8., for a Committee to
take testimony. After some unimportant
proceedings, the House then took up thepri
vnto calendar, and soon after adjourned to
Monday.
Tiie Senate on the 15th confirmed the ap
pointment of Mr. Jewctt as Marshal of the
Northern district, and Mr. liirdsall Naval
Officer of New York. An ineffectual motion
was made to remove the injunction of secrecy
on the proceedings and the speeches attend
ing the confirmation of Mr. Sedgwick as
District Attorney. They involve the merits
of New York politics and the reasons which
led to the removal of Mr. McKeon.
The House of Representatives by resolution
ordered the committal to jail of Mr. Wolcott,
the witness in the tariff bribery case, on the
charge of contempt until he consents to an

A Man Whip[>rd to Death with a Handsaw. \
—A correspondent writing to us front Little
Rock, under date of the 30th ult., relates the j
following:
On Tuesday, the sth day of January, 1858,
at Raid's bridge, a most inhuman act was
perpetrated. About the Ist of January some
SISOO were stolen from the widow Reid, at
the bridge. A negro woman was whipped
severely to force a confession that she had
some knowledge of the money. I'nder the
torture, she stated that a Mr. Cobb, in the
vicinity, had got the money, but not till the
question had been often asked, if Cobb had
not got the money.
Elias flood, ti.e hrotber of widow Reid, and
Martin Bell, her son-in-law, went to Cobb's
residence, took him to the bridge, then sent
round the neighborhood, and gathered a num
ber of associates, took Cobb, stripped him,
and tied him across a log, and whipped him
with a handsaw. After whipping him, they
started to go to his brother, in Prairie county,
12 miles distant, stopped after going 8 miles,
and whipped hiui again, and then returned
to the bridge. At that time the number who
took part in the whipping amounted to fifteen.
Each one agreed to give a number of licks
with the hnndsaw. flood said he knew the
law, and told them to go ahead, he had a bar
rel cf money, and would pay all expenses.—
They forced Cobb to drink whiskey with
them —whipped him Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday. Then, under some sort of
mock trial, committed him to jail at this place.
Dr. Webb called at tho jail to see Cobb, and
found him perfectly black, from his head to
his feet, with large gashes in several parts of
his body. The doctor said Cobb could not
live. He lingered in great agony several
days, and died about the 15th inst.
Cobb begged the inhuman monsters, while
whipping him, to shoot him, and end his mis
ery—not torture him to death.
Cobb's dying declaration was taken, and it
appears, from circumstances on the examina
tion, that be was innocent, as he steadily
averred while living. Ho has left a widow
and four children.
Eleven of the murderers have been arrest
ed, and four have made their escape. A
preacher is one that made his escape. Six
have been admitted to bail under bonds of
two and four thousand dollars, as accessories,
and five are detained in jail for murder in the
first degree.
I have waited till the close of the examina
tion, and the papers keep a dead silence on
the subject. The foregoing are the main facts
in tho case.
—We have noticed but two papers, the Lewlstown
Democrat and Clearfield Republican, which have hud the

Dear Sir—Having been afflicted for more
than ten months with Chronic Inflammation
of the Lungs, at times very severely, and
having adopted ninny medicines without any
but temporary n-iief, I purchased about three
bottles of Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
from the effects of which I obtained more re

taken for that distressing disorder. I have
by the repeated use of this valuable Balsam,
been more free from pressure for breath and
oppression on the lungs, than 1 had anticipa

this acknowledgment, which you will use as
your judgment dictates.

In Union township, on tho morning of the
12th, suddenly, of typhoid fever, LEONARD
P. IIAYICE, aged 12 years, 5 months and 4
days. The deceased was a promising boy.
lie evidenced in his every day conduct a deep
sense of piety very seldom found in young
persons of his age. As a son, he was very
obedient; as a brother, affectionate and kind;
as a scholar, dutiful, ever appreciating and
improving his time; and as an associate,
friendly and cheerful. His loss is deeply felt
in the bereaved family of which ho was a
prominent member; and though not permit
ted by kind Providence to see many summers,
he filled up the measure of his days with use
fulness, and seemed to be ready to depart at
death's sudden call. To the bereaved, weep
not—his fierce assailant on earth has only
powe" over the body, but the soul immortal
still lives on in the halo of that "light whose
brightness never dims," unapproaehed by the
stern monster, death. His sudden demise
should warn us of the importance of prepar
ing for early death ; for bcingr young is no
assurance of long "life—frequently is the rose
smitten in the bud. So has it been with our
youpg departed friend, snatched away just in
tho spring time of life.

Thy vast eternity's begun;
From earth thy spirit's tied—
Th.v body to the slumb'rtng ilcatl. A.
