Democracy.
'',, An esteemed . correspondent who has al
• 'ways opposed Dcmcciraic men and measures,'
‘ilisiks the • decision of Ile Supreme , Court
3,
list the Died Scott case is ei•erwheltning - tes-
Airrtorty against the Temocracy, and ought
itO bo considered a jest and conclusive reason
fpi opposing that organization Which has
wilt up the Republic to its present . height
4-of prosperity and power. To our Mind that
.
;decision is:proof of the correctness of our
?p` Arty's poSition, iiromounci ng as it does, in
:terrerence by Congress with slavery in States
i•or Territories, emeonstitutional ; uphohlittg
`the beneficent principle of popular sovereign
ty which underlies our. whole governmental
structure ; and recognizing the right of the ,
`Territorial occupant to make the laws which'
are to control and regulate his conduct as a
citizen. For the sake of argument, grant
that the Supreme Court has erred, that its
meant and 'witch-complained-of decision con
flicts witl s rblic sentiment; still it is plain
ly the duty of the citizen to respect and
abide by that decision. So long as the con
tstitztipti is maintained and revered, so long
;fling the interpretation placed upon that in
strument by the appointed and proper an
\
_thiarity, be obeyed. - It is useless and tree- 1
,sonable for.combin. tions of selfish aspirants
1 to resist the people's authorities—the will of
the people's Judicial agents ; and the party
that supports that will, and lal4trt to main-
Min the government as it is, deserves public
confidence and approbation: It is a strange
doctrintrlo advance, that the Democratic par
ty should be opposed, because of its devotion
to theconstitution, and its determination to
maintain the authorities ! And, yet this is
the position• of our friend'who fights the Dem
ocratic army because it defends the decision
of our highest Court. But we do not admit
that the 'decision of that Court is wrong and
hostile ts, the feelings and' judgment of the
community. On the contrary, we claim that
4 the principle of non-interiention by Congress
1 with slavery accords with public opinion-and
is popular; we assort also that the declare
lima the Court that negrons . are not' citi
zens of the United States is in conformity
with past Judicial opinions, past legislation
• and the feeling of nine-tenths of our citizens

Question A itswered.
In response to our remarks ia tondenina
tion of the hawking and peddling prohibition,
recently extended to this County the Repub
lican of last week propounds the following
question. ",Will the ifor.troie Democrat
please inform ns what it thinks of the act -of
April 20th, I.B.s.l,p.obibitin,glaiiking and
.peddling in •the'Counties of Wyoming and
- Sullivan? 'Certainly. The provisions of
the act to Which- the inquiry relates are the
same as those of the law lately applied to
. this County, therefore what we said of the
latter may be taken as indicative of our
views of the former. We condemn unhesi
tatingly the principle of 'restriction involved
iri both measures. • If however the inhabitants
of the counties of Wyoming and Sulivata de •
-
sired the prohibitory enactment it wasidoubt
haStheir privilege to have it; and if the pro
hibition bad been demanded by the people
of Susquelemna we would not utter so wog
R protest against it. We respect the popular
will .constitutionally proclaimed. We be
lieve that a legislative act affecting the 'whole
community should , be approved by the-com
munity. We dislike those enactments, the
passage - Of which is purchased, for the benefit
of the few to the detriment
.of the many.
I Now every man in this section well knows
that this hawking and - peddling prohibition
was applied to this county to accommodate
a few merchants who dislike comi ei lion, It is
not intended to benefit the majority; it in
jures are —, sonsurner by compelling him to
purchase. of a certain class.e measure
possessed one element of just e, or propriety,
its originators would: not hay ccrelly obtain
ed its passage : - They would h e proclaimed
ifi ti a ,
their, intention., confideat of public approba
tion. The very secresy which acoompanied
the selfish movement is proof of its injustice.
flow many of our citizens knew that the law
was contemplated?. The Republlears under
ss i ands very well that its mercantile friends
in this borough procured the passage of th e
.
net without : acquaint ing the public of their
design to dew. Now will the ARcpuldkan
inform us what it thinks of the law, and
whether it approves of the siy and secret
manner of its passage. Come, neighbor if
you have an opinion in this matter, have the
courage to express it.

Now that little item of itself seems a mat

suspect :be motive of the Editor in inserting
it. It was 4oubtlemiutended to convey an ,
impression - to the readers of that paper that
Gov. P. had been exercising "a wise and
honest disiTimination," try vetoing Bank bills.
It will be remembered that three ycara ago,
Pollock and his friends claimed to bare no
different views in regard to 'question's of State
polity, Banks, &e., than- liaise carried out
by our most excellent Governor, Wm. Bigler;
and his justly restrictive Banking policy is
too well understood to need comment here,
" Nebraska," " Slavery," &c., was made the
warecry, and Bigler "was sacrificed in a whirl

placed in the Gubernatorial chair. But no

'Letter From Mr. Lathrop.
The editors of the Republican refused to
give the following letter, addressed to them
by Oliver Lathrop E-11.,0f Springville, a place •
in the columns of their -paper. It is proper
to ;tate the ollesrcd reasons- for the refusal,
prefacing the same with a brief account 'of
The circumstances 'which induced• Mr. -La
throp to write the rejected article.
Some time since Mr. li. solicited and re
ceived the name of_ene J. Fuller .as 3„stib- .

not choose to patronize-a" border ruffian"— •
a " tory"-•--41. " 'knavish itypeeritt," and
would not therefore. receive the hook 'for
Which.he had subscribed. Thereupon • Mr.
Lathrop presented the letter to us and we

Neither persecutton or oppression .has di-.
minished their number:4, their zeal, or fanati

ever made such giant stride e 'progres,4, not
even Mahotnedanistri; which \ i'n all of its Et
