mou to advocate and adopt is to work by

nothing more or less than to advocate a
ream ton of wages. Besides, it cannot

would a farmer think of eight hours a day
during corn planting, haymaking, har
vesting or plowing? How would it he

ductors, engineers and firemen on rail
roads; among boatmen on canals; among
i attsnjen; among mdlers; among clerks in
stores, and hundred* of other businesses
which must he driven while time sun
shine, water, &c. are to i K . had ?' All
those could make bargains bv the hour
but certainly not by the day, when eight
hours are to constitute it.
Democracy as it Is and Was.
The Democrat comes to the defense of
Buchanan and Black, thetwoxlignitaries
who could discover nothing in the Con
stitution to put down a rebellion, and
even gives them credit for it! This is not
to be wondered at, for modern democracy
is precisely what Calhoun nullification
and secession were in 1833. At that time
Calhoun laid down the doctrine of his de
mocracy as follows:
1. That the political system under which
we live, and under which Congress is now j
assembled, is a compact, to which the i
people of the several States, as separate
and sovereign communities, are the par- !
tics.
•2. That these sovereign parties have a j
right to judge, each for itself, of any al- j
leged violation of the Con
gress; and, in case of such violation, to
choose, each for itself, its own mode and
measure of redress.
The 3d enumerates and denies the sev
eral expressed opinions of President Jack
son's proclamation respecting the nature
and powers of the General Government—
General J. having taken the ground that
the government could put down nullifi
cation, which was nothing more nor less
than sece sion, and secession treason.
This was done after Gen. Jackson had
issued his proclamation to the people of
South Carolina that State action, whether
hv the Legislature or Convention, setting
up a government of their own, was nulli
fication, that nullification was secession,
that secession was treason, and that trea
son must b<*putdown! .Dan'el Webster,
the great Expounder of the Constitution,
came to the rescue of Gen. Jackson, and
in the Senate of the United States on the
l(!tli of February, 1833, utterly demolish
ed the then Calhoun, now copperhead
doctrine of State Bights, and in reply to
the threats of the great nullilier, spoke as
follows:
" Mr. President, if the friends of nulli
fication should be able to propagate their
opinions, and give them practical effect,
they would, in my judgment, prove them
selves the most skilful "architects of ru
in, 1 ' the most effectual extinguishers of
high-raised expectation, the greatest blas
ters of human hopes, that "any age lias
produced. They would stand up to pro
claim, in tones which would pierce tln
curs of half the human race, that the last
great experiment of representative gov
ernment had failed. They would send
forth sounds, at the hearing of which tiie
doctrine of thedivine right of kings would
feel, even in its grave, a returning sensa
tion of vitality and resuscitation. Mil
lions of eyes, of those who now feed their
inherent love of liberty on the success of
the American example, would turn away
from beholding our dismemberment, and
lind no place on earth whereon to rest
their gratified sight. Amidst the incan
tations and orgies of nullification, seces
sion, disunion, and revolution, would be
celebrated the funeral rites of constitu
tional and republican liberty."
"But, fsir, if the government do its
duty, if it act with firmness and modera
tion, these opinions cannot prevail, lie
assured. Sir. be assured, that among the
politicalsentimcntsof this people, the love
of union is still uppermost. They will
stand fast by the Constitution, and by
those who defend it. J rely on no tem
porary expedients, on no political combi
nation ; but I rely on the true American
feeling, the genuine patriotism of the peo
ple, and the imperative decision of the
public voice. Disorder and confusion, in
deed, may arise; scenes of commotion
and contest are threatened, and perhaps
may come. With my whole heart, I pray
for the continuance of the domestic peace
and quiet of the country. I desire, most
ardently, the restoration of affection and
harmony to all its parts, i desire that
every citizen of the whole country mav
look to this government with no other
sentiments than those of grateful respect
an i attachment. But I can not yield even
to kind feelings the cause of the Constitu
tion, the true glory of the country, and
the great trust which we hold in our hands
for succ -eiJiug ages. If the Constitution
rannot be maintained without nueline/
these semes of commotion and contest,
however unwelcome, THEY MUST COME.'
We cannot, we must not, Ave dare not,
omit to do that which, in our judgment}
the safety of the Union requires. Not re
gardless of consequences, we must yet
meet consequences; seeing the hazards
which surround the discharge of public
duty, it must yet be discharged. For my
self, Bir, I shun no responsibility justly
devolving on me, here or elsewhere, in at
tempting to maintain the cause. I am
bound to it by indissoluble ties of affec
tion and duty, ami I shall cheerfully par
take in its fortunes and its fate. lam
ready to perform my own appropriate
part, whenever and wherever the occa-'
sion may call on me, and to take my
chance among those upon whom blows
may fall first and fall thickest."
For making this noble defence, Mr.
Webster was invited to dinner by Gen.
Jackson, although the two had long been
estranged, and the whole Jackson democ
racy rang with praises of its doctrines, as
well as the Force Bill, which authorized
the government to collect duties on ships
of war.
Let any dispassionate reader compare
Gen. Jackson'scourse with Abraham Lin
coln's, and they will find the two follow
ed the same path, and although both ex
ercised doubtful powers, like Cicero of old,
iey could have laid their hands upon
their hearts and sworn they had preserv
ed the Union. Let the same reader com
pare the doctrine of Calhoun and Hayne
with the imbecile declaration of Buchan
an and Black that they could find no
p.wcr m the Constitution to coerce a
State, or in other words put down a rebel
lion and the conclusion is irresistible that
the latter are hut second editions of the
former, save in talent. Compare too Cal
houn's propositions, given above, with
the teachings of all theleadersof the self
styled democratic party of the present
day, and it takes little acumen to see that
the nullification doctrine of Calhoun and
his adherents is now the doctrine of dem
ocratic copperheadism.

seriously that her life is despaired of.
