agents and other outside influences, to bring about

contracts become a eource of profit.
; -..At the. outset, -when the ohnneo of a ruinous

discoveries in California were notmade until sev^'
oral months afterwards, and then emigration
commenced. This unexpected ciroumstancoren
“ dered safe and: profitable, what before was so
.doubtful and hazardous. • Is this n reason why
- the Government of the United States shouhibo
urged to-.violate, orrepudiate contracts, upon the
iaith of which its citizen* ventured such-large
sums of moneys • and incurred, - at the beginning;
•such fearful risks ? .■ .
In the short space of three or four years these

ableto produoe, although fostered by Government

by the United States.
. .The very parties who are now so urgent that
. the Government- should some of its
present contracts, and. give the mails to their
Jines of steamers, would.not entertain, or even
look at the projects when first offered—the risk
•then being so great, and the result so uncertain.
‘ ’ But now that the experiment has been made,
• nnd good results, seem likely-to be realized by.
.those t°ok all the risks ■: of- the enterprises

WM. L. HIRST, Chairman
Young Democracy—Old Democracy—ln*
formation Wanted.
We hava three friends who desire information
on the words that head this article. "Young
Democracy” is an interesting friend who bos
been bred in the faith. His sire is a man that
has grown grey in his devotion to the principles
of the party, and, what might appear singular
to some of the “young’nns,” he has never ap
plied for an office. The son of this honest, hoary
headed democrat, desires to bo informed whether
it would be allowable for him to parsuo the hon
est course of bis father. Wo are in na-wiso med
dlesome with the opinions of others, but on this
occasion wo will remark, in tho words of lawyer
Meddle, that we “have no hesitation in saying,”
that the honorable course pursued by Ills worthy
father is tho course that ho should follow.
Wc are not old in years,but we arc aged in tho
democratic faith; for our devotion to. it com
menced when we could first comprehend the dif
ference between the liberal institutions of our
own free country from the oppressive rule of the
despotisms.of the old world. But, with all this
experience we cannot answer the question of
“Young Democracy” in a manner that could
he made useful to the old ones, or young ones,
if they want to be exclusives.
We have never supposed that Democracy could
beoome old, or require any of tho strengthening
aids derived from ttjo principles of rejuvenation
to keep it fresh and warm in tho hearts of every
American citizen, whether hois to tho “ manner
born,” or adopts oor liberal principles heoauso
he can hero find a happy home, which with or
dinary industry can bo provided with all tho
comforts of life, whioh could never bo obtained
in tho country ho left.
" Young Democracy” is right in supposing
that theDemooratio courso followed by his father
for the last forty years is the true democracy -
Many of the mon who profess to belong to tho
party may,from interested motives, change their
opinions, bat the principles of tho party are im
mutable, and are always pushed forward. Mea
sures may change, but, under our form of gov
ernment, the principles of democracy, never
Its embodiment is as fresh and vigorous as it
was when the germ was first watered by tho
blood of the heroes of the revolution, and aftor
wards nurtured by tho careful care of the man
who has most worthily won the title of the Fa
ther of Democracy —ThouaS jErransox. It can
never die or become old- It is always perennial,
and will never fade or lose its healthful vigor.
: Wo know no such-democracies ns “Old and
Young Democracy,” nor does aoy disinterested
member of tho party recognize the terms as ap
plicable to- our party organization. We all
agree that we are the democratic party ; the party
of progress—the party that is able and willing
to pußh on the column of political liberty that
will yet regenerate the world, and the party that
numbers in its millions the sound Loads, ma
tured minds and honest hearts, that can accom
plish tho purpose when wo sliok together.
But, to accomplish suoh a purpose, the ques
tion of “ Young and Old Democracy", would not,
we opine, bo considered. . Onall great questions
wo are one and indivisible. Wo know no divided
duty when oar party is colled upon to support
tho pure principles on which it is based; and
when the contest comes, eld and young go-into
the conflict with a harmony that appalß'tboso
who think that feuds exist among us.
We suppose ire have said enough to assure
our three friends that, as far as our knowledge
extends, there are no such anomalies existing
1a the United States os two Democracies. We
hare never known them, and ire hone we never
Bhall. If ever that day shall orrive, we would
despair for the-progress of our principles and
the onward march of freedom!
Although the opponents of democracy hare a
perfect right to change their namo with every
change of the weather, the same volatile course
is not allowable in the party that is the sincere
conservator of our liberties. If Democracy
should have assumed the various changes that
have characterized tho whig party—as it is now
called—sinco the commencement of the Govern
.ment, where would our free institutions bo hi
the present day? In ohaos. Wo would bo a
Kepubllo something like what Franoo now is,
with w President moro tyrannical than the great
bear, of-Russia would dare to proclaim himself
Wo would, therefore, with a sincere desire for
the welfare of the country, commend to our
■party the propriety of dropping all these clap
trap terms,.and to resolve to go into the contest
with a firm determfuntionto battle for the copse,
and the causa only. Will this satisfy “Old and
Young Domocraoy ?”

LETTER FBOM HARRISBURG.
Harrisburg, March 30, 1852.
Messrs. HAnrEit & Pmiurs: —
Tho first impressions of a neophyte at itio
State Cnpitcl may not be of great interest to tho
public; yet they may be.read in tho absence of
more important nows from this point, from the
usual sources.
Tho appearance of thecityof Harrisburg—tho
public buildings, the public men—add to tho ef
fect of previous impressions, to inspire a feeling
of respect, if not of awo, for our law makers and
tho law executors. But once within the sacred
prccints; breathe tho atmosphere of tho Legis
lative halls; get a little into the whirl of busi
ness by interest in nn acquaintance or friend,
who is a member, or perhaps n Senator; look
behind the scenes, and see tho movements of the
machinery necessary to carry on tho business of
Legislation; and the harmonious beauty of precon
ceived ideas all but disappears. If your noopbyto
is very young perhaps he may be shocked; and call
to miod divers rumors or accounts of gladiatorial
exhibitions upon there floors, which inspired a
degree of honor upon his mind, in nn inverse
ratio to his acquaintance or familiarity with tho
scenes described, and which ho regarded as some
thing very marked, very unusual. If these opin
ions are wrong, they may go still further from the
truth on the opposite side. By a first view of
the field itself, ho may think: can any order,
any good thing, oomo out of so much confusion?
The several halls appear like respectable town
meetings; where tho people, with clean shirt
collars, polished boots, and shavon faces,
meet in a fins room, with comfortablo seats,
commodious desks, and an unlimited privi
lege of talk.
Well, what is all this about they nra discus
sing in the Houbo ? Why, the payment of the
bills for tho entertainment of Kossuth. Many
members improve tho opportonity to gratify their
malice by-sneers at Ills F.xokli.enuy, while ar
guing the payment of tho bill, and others moro
openly sneer nt the Governor, and oppose pay
ing for his entertainment, Yonr neophyte
thinks that tho Legislature ought to liavo ap
pointed a committee who would hnvo managed
the nfiair with a due regard to economy, with
out parsimony, in entertaining tho greatest re
presentative of freodom that European tyranny
has over thrown upon ourßhores; and that the
action of the committee, if not grosssly or stri
kingly improper or extravagant, should bo sanc
tioned; and not expend twice the sum appro
priated for this purpose, in disoassing the merits
or the question from first to last, and consume
important time, near the close of the session,
wiiioh ought to bo devoted to tho general wants
of tho public—but your noophytc “is very
young.”
Tbe Senate are discussing the Maine Liquor
Law, which overshadows all other subjects at
present. The ardent friends of tho msasare arc
urging it with a spirit which the nature of
the case demands. Tho conservatives, with
opinions not fully fixed; hesitating, perhaps,
between their own oonvictions of right on tho
snbjeot, and tho opinions of thoso who are favor
ing or opposing the measure; your man with
his mind not clour upon the snbjcct must ho in
an unfortunate position; for between tho pres
sure on onosido or the other; for the parties
appear to bo nearly balanced, and the straggle
Is desperate, both sides dealing blows unsparing
ly, and yonr middle man mast catch them all.
The impression is that tbo bill will in some shapo
pass, probably with a clause submitting it to a
vote of tho people.
A well dcsorvod compliment was paid to car
worthy Governor in tho Senate this morning. A
hatch of bills were returned with tho executive
veto and reasons assigned; the good sonso of
which were so apparent ihnt even tho opposi
tion npproved of some one or more of them—sev
eral whig senators rising from their seats and
remarking that they coincided with some of tho
reasons of tho Governor, and in regard to one
bill particularly, no one would acknowledge its
paternity!
Thoso charged with eustaining this relation
to the bill, disclaimed anything more thnn a
friendly regard for it, under mistaken ideas of its
character and reputation; and it was at' last
fully proven n bastard by its reputed parent
avowing frankly that it was drawn up and han
ded to him by.n lawyer from his county, and ho
thought it to bo nil right. :
Tho unfortunate thing was then finally dis
missed by the undeceived Senate.
How fortunate is the Stateiu possessing an Ex
ecutive possessed of tho discrimination to discov
er these frauds attempted to be porpotrated upon
the peoplo; and with the firmness to interpose
with the authority conferred upon him by the
constitution, ;to prevent tho pollution of our
statute books by laws which disgraco tho Com
monwealth. The admirablo message of the
Governor upon tho floating debt and spooial le
gislation, is received with almost universal sat* !
isfaction and admiration.
. 'With the good qualities of the Executive we
may look with confidence fora new era in tho
history of our Slate’s prosperity; and a refor
mation of some of the gross evils which have
stolen nponus and become almost, indispensable
from supposed innbitityto remove them.
Well, these first impressions have span out to
ua unexpected length, let. them go, as. they are
the first and perhaps tho last, : ALPHA. -
