It is new to us as, one of that Dernocrapy, for We have beerrused to seta our creed legislated in to the policy; of the 'government permanently, and hot the ternparary" policy of the govern. stem legislated into our creed. Besides, it is a new doctrine to us, that any law acquires additional 'strength by being several times en acted. It 'is an namisicon virtually of weak nescin the government itself, that a law Can not command the 'reverence die to law when lit is once enacted and recorded in the statute books of the'nation. We look' upon it as a " solemn farce 4 to 'enact ever again a law, and I as establishing a dangerous precedent by-ad mitting a weakness as above- alluded to, that will not he'Clow to, root itself in the popular mind, and gradnalloead it: to disregard laws at convenience, by destroying all law-rever encing feeling. We can sec no'reason why the Compromise 'should be again enacted-:. why it should require . tobe enacted over again every two years. Has that been the course of the Democracy in the Past, in reference to any ;measure of . our .party that has been en grafted intothe policy of the country? When Protectionists sent up .a howl from ono end of the Union to tho, other, after the paocigo of the '46 Tariff; when' they were agitating Its repeal and bringing to bear every effort to ac. conAlish it, did the 'Democracy at the twat session of Congress enact it over again ? No. body so'silly as to think of, much less to pro pose sue h a farce, and why now sheuld thoso laws of '6O require itl, Where in creation ex ists the, reason, the necessity for it ?
