Democracy Defined, Wo fiud the followiug communication in the Montrose Bcjpublicn n. There is a degree of humor and quiet sarcasm in the article, sel dom found in a political article. The writer stems to have a good idea of the -purious ar ticle now denominated Dcmocrvnt. Wo com mend the coiummiieation to the attention of our readers. We will publish a second article oa the same subject next week : MKSSRS. EDITORS :—I have always been a member of the great Democratic party. I have also always claimed that I was a Free Soil man, and that ours was a Free Soil parte : and if any one denied it, 1 pointed proudly to the course of our Representative, M;\ Grow, for evidence. But now I can do no lon -or. I have learned with grief that Mr. Grow is ;o longer a Democrat. ' I 'he Washington l'ni>n tells me so, aud the Mcntr. sc 1 Inrcrut teils me so. It was not known, till too present Congress assembled, that Mr. Grow had ceas ed to be a Democrat; but uow there can be no doubt of the fact, for we have- the highest Democratic authority for it. As Mr. Grow and 1 ! are been old friends, both personally and politically, I was verv Borry to hear that he had deserted the parly, and I have carefully looked over the doings of the House since Congress met to see what he has done*. I;k r, suit of my examination and re licet ion has been a conviction that I have heretofore bud a wrong ide.. of what are De mocrat: • principles. When I see Richardson —who w;.s io ti Nebraska bill in the House what Douglas was iu the Senate—nominated aud supported by our party for Speaker, I am convinced that the Nebraska bill, which i was once so much opposed to, is a Demo -ratio measure, and as such should receive the sup port of all true Democrats. When 1 see oar party trying to elect tor Speaker, sometimes Mr. Smith of \ irgiaia, a Know Nothing, sometimes Mr. Oliver, of Missouri, an old line Whig, aud finally uniting with the Southern Know Nothings in support of Aiken, of South Carolina, who seems to be about half Demo crat and half Know Nothing, all for the pur pose of defeatiug the Republican candidate, 1 am convinced that the greatest enemy the Democratic party now has to contend with is that same principle of Fn-e-Soil which I have always advocated. And wlier. I see that Mr. Grow has continued to supj>ort Free Soil prin ciples. iu opposition to the }>arty, and as far lar as 1 cau discover has done not It bur else that is undemocratic, 1 am convinced that Sla very is the great Democratic doctrine, and. that if I intend to remain a member of the party, 1 must discard my Free Soil principles. My course is now plain. I don't believe in tiro fessiug one thing and acting another If I had suspected that my Free Soilism was un democratic, 1 should have discarded it lorn: ago. 1 was born a Democrat, and mean to die a Democrat. The Democratic* party is in favor of extend ing slavery, ami so am I. .Mr Grow may go off with such Know No liinc as Greelev" and Seward, and Baeks. and ouinn- r, and Wilniot ami Giddinsrs and Chase of Ohio, in pursuit of an abstraction, but 1 shall stick to the par ty along with the honest editor of the Mon trosc Dc.'i'crai. believing 1 that we shall get Cushions. and Wises, and Toombses. and Hen ry M Fullers, am! Cotton Whi and twelfth section Americans enough to join us, to coun terbalance a thousaud Crows. It is a serious matter to tliiuk of leaving the Democratic par ty, which was founded by the great Thomas Jefferson, and is now so zealously earrving out the doctrines he inculcated concerning libertv and human equality. These doctrine's I .-till devoutly believe in, notwithstanding I am in favor of extending negro slavery over free tor ritory. Do you ask how tic- can be ? I re ply. after considerable reflection, that I do not consider the negro human, but ouly a higher species of baboon tit only for a >ta?e of servi tude I cannot, however, agree with some of the leading Democratic pajiers at the South that irJii't slavery is right, for that does not sound like real Jcffersonian I>emocracv.

Harper, wliosc arrest and imprisonment we have noticed in another paragraph, broke jail about one o'clock on Sunday morning and made his escape. It appears from what we can learn that one day last week, whilst some repairs were being made in the room occupied by Harjwr. he managed to slip a piece of board under his bed, where he kept it conceal ed until Saturday night, and then by some means divested himself of his hopples aud with the aid of the board removed part of the grat ing in the window. This accomplished, lie next endeavored to make his exit, bot finding tile opening rather too tight a fit for his per son, he took off most of bis clothes and Hung them into the yard and then followed boldly. Having dressed himself, he scaled the jail yard wall and departed, is the report given by one of the other prisoners, who was couSn cd in the same room with Harper. It ishigh iv probable that a horse was iu readiness some where in the vicinity of town to facilitate the flight of the fugitive, for he told his room mate be might give the alarm as SOQH as he va> over the wall, which he accordingly did. L'lius has this accomplished .scoundrel escaped a second time from our county prison and evad ed the clutches of the law. We do not know who is censurable, or whether any body is ; but there has manifestly been a want of effi cient means of remissness in their application. —lndizni (I'd..) Register, March "23. Ministers aud Politics. During the past year or so, no one eats have faito notice ti. vindictive assaults of the Nebraska orators, upon the" clergy, generally, fertile reason-that they raised their voices against the great iniquity involved iu the re peal of the Missouri Compromise. Nothing was too extreme to be said about thorn—noth ing too false or absurd. But as soon ..s a minister was found volunteering a defeucc of slavery, it was all right that he should preach polities. The letters of the Rev, Mr. Breek enridge have beeu published with approval by nearly all the Nebraska papers iu the country. We learn from a gentleman who has just re turned from a tour of several months in one of the Slave States, that the ministers there are in the constant habit of preaching politics, and that their sermons are published iu the politi cal papers just as so much other political mat ter would be. Cut we do not see them rebuk ed in anv n-.iv, for the reason that thev advo- cate and uphold the " peculiar institution."— We connucnd these facts to those who are so much stirred up" because a Northern preaeh ei occasionally speaks for Freedom.— Daily l^cmocrat. Mr. Ri i'iiaxav and tiik Xe nr. a ska Rii.i.. — The Washington Union publishes the following: Some dist .ission having taken place upon the position of Mr. Buchanan on the Kansas-Ne braska bill, we are permitted to copy the fol- 1 lowing extract from a letter addressed by Mr. Buchanan to Senator Slidell, dated London, ' on the •J'sth of December last, when there seemed to be no difference as to Mr. B's thor ough ideutity with the Democratic party ou this, as on all other issues. It will be seeu that Mr. B. speaks of the Kansas-Nebraska bill with-his usual frankness and decision.— We are confirmed in our impression, by this letter, that no man, no set of men, and no newspajx'r. are at all warranted to speak au thoritatively for Mr. Buchanan upon this or upon other question. His own words speak for themselves. The letter of Mr. Buchanan was not, it will be seen, intended for publication, but the gen- i tlemau to whom it was addressed has thought it necessary, after the editorial article in the Union of Wednesday last to lay it before the country: 4 The question has been settled by Con-' gross, uud this settlement should be inflexibly maintained. The Missouri Compromise is gone and gone forever. But no assault should be made upou those Democrats who maintained it provided they are now willing in goxi faitli to maintain the settlement as it exists. Such au understanding is wise and just in itself. *' It is well k. hew I labored in com pany with so-.'he"!, men to have this line ex tendi.. to the I'aeifle. But it has departed. The time for it ha passed away, and I verily believe thai the best—nay, the only—mode • now U-ft of putting down the fanatical and • re.klfs.- spirit of abolition at the North is to adhere to the existing settlement, without the slight _st thought or appearance of wavering and wituont regarding any storm which may be ru *d against it."

If we did not know that CHASE, of the Montrose Democrat was a knave, we should feel quite certain that lie was a fool. In a late number of his delectable sheet, he seizes bald of an article in the Reporter to prove that we have been engaged ' for a year and a half in building up the Know-Nothing order." In his last issue lie comes out with the start ling announcement that Winner has made a coalition with the FILI.MOKI: Ivnow-Xothiiigs, and accuses him of an " attempt to sell the Free-soilors to the Fillmore Ticket"! We congratulate the free-soilcrs of Susquehauna upon having such a vigilant sentinel of their rights and liberties as CHASE —they can feel safe while his sleepless vigilance and proved integrity is guarding their cause against the covert assaults and traitorous machinations o.' such doubtful friends as WIEMOT. CHASE is your true friend of Freedom. What if his course does look somewhat dubious and inconsistent, shall any one doubt the sincerity of such professions as he has made ? Has he i not already taken the field for BENTON, for President ! Has he not declared that uoiri natious will not affect his support of that dis tinguished statesman ?—that he should be with those who were for him, and against those were against him ? Has he not made the slavery i question the paramount issue, and pledged the Democratic party as the true free-soil party ? Undoubtedly, those who are disposed to be lieve CHASE insiueere, are doing him great in justice. He hopes to benefit the cause of Free i doru through the Democratic party. Knowing his weight iu that organization he does not in teud to leave it, but will bring it back to a free-soil platform. We have no question that the leaders of the Democracy, PIERCE, DOCG LAS. TOMBS Ac CO. will respect CHASE'S advice and wishes, and incorporate a free-soil plank, ■' taken from the Montrose Democrat) in the platform to be erected at Cincinnati. When this is doue. the honesty of CHASE'S course will be fully and triumphantly vindicated.

KANSAS MEETING AT IIARRISHVKG. —On the morning of Friday a resolution was adopted by the llouse of Representatives of this State to grant the use of their hall to (Jen. JAMES 11. LANE, of Kausa-, to address the members of that body and the citizens of Ilarrisbnrg upon the admission of Kansas into the Caion under her present State Constitution. This resolu tion was introduced by Mr. Johns, of Fayette, who, although a Democrat of the Douglas school, yet had the magnanimity to fight this resolution through in the face <>f a decided par ty majorty. The Nebraakaites sought to kill it by all kiuds of side motions and excuses for voting against it ; but the steady supi>ort of the Union party minority, and a few Demo crats following tue lead of Johns, carried it through. The meetiug was a very large one. Gen. LANE was introduced by Hon. E. JOY MORRIS, and spoke at length iu regard to matters in Kausas At the close of the speech, a resolu tion was offered to the meeting for adoption, expressive of the sense of the meetiug, avowing it to be the wish and desire ol the meeting that Kausas should be*admitted into the Union.— This resolution was offered by K. 11. Kerr, of Tkr Pittsburg Post. It was adopted by a loud, hearty affirmative vote. Star" The following remarks UJKIU the nomi nees aud resolutions of the late Union Conven tion. are taken from the Pithbu t f w zctte, one of the ablest ami most reliable Republican pa pers in Western Pennsylvania. The same views, we observe, are held by most if not all of the Republican pajers of the North. The candidates are in every way acceptable, and if ratified by the Republican State Convention, ujon a Republican platform, will meet with a hearty support at the North : " Considering the distracted state of the op position party in this State and the wide diffe rences existing "U various political principles and measures, the result has astonished the friends of the movement, and dismayed the slave Democracv. The ticket is one of the strongest ever put in nomination in the State. Mr. COCHRAN is an old line Whig, who has resolutely stood aloof from all connection with Americanism. He is represented by his friends as Anti-Sla very in principle, and thoroughly imbued with the Republican spirit, a geutleinan of ability, integrity and high character. Mr. PHKLI-S i.- a Republican American, of the Whig -chool, an excellent man in all respects, and vcrv pop ular in the Legislature, of which he i a mem ber. Mr. LAI -HI:: wa- an old Democrat, and is now a thorough Republican, harmonizing aie 1 acting with the 11 publican party of Penn sylvania. He is a gentleman of the best mo ral character. and in every respect worthy of support. He is also a member of the L > iature. The ticket is a goo 1 one—a strong one— ami with the endorsement of the Republican State Convention, which it will undoubtedly receive, there is no reason why it should not reeeiie the vote of the Republican jmrtv. It is a great thing to have secured the unan imous endorsement, by a Convention repre senting the entire opposition clement of the State, of the great Republican principle of re sistance to the further extension and encroach ments of slavery. We can afford to allow in the platform of a few abstractions and plati tudes to-which, as separated from politics, no man will except, while we have secured the substance, the only practical issue of the cam paign. The Convention was a very able one com prising much respectability and talent, and the members separated with the best f.-ehntrs. and with a resolute determination to carry the ticket, and the greater ticket to be supjwrted iu November" FOREIGN NEWS. —There have been two ar rival- since our last issue, bringing several days later intelligence.

THE RKESH)EN"RUT.

It is confessed by the most astute managers that the present political fog is more impenetrable than any that lias preceded it for many year.-. No confidence as to the nomination is really eutertaiued in any quarter, whatever may be be professed, and di.-trnst is exhibited on all sides ; and the internecine war, which ha commeuccd between the rival followers of Mr. Ruehanau and (ten.
