Letter from a Democratic Citizen or

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 31, 1860.
liox. him% MAYO, Mayor of Richmond, Va.:
Permit me to offer a few observations on the posi
tion and present feelings of the North, touching
the great issues of the day, and that, I think, will
foreeyon to relinquish many erroneous Impressions
that you now Indulge to our prejudice. -
To a Bonthern eye the heavy Republican vote
North Is the one great formidable fact that silences
all argument, and proves the sectional and hostile
views of our people. To this let me Ant address
myself.
As every pleasure has its pain, so, perhaps, every
worldly blessing has Its carte. If this be a truth,
liberty—even American liberty—ht Its fittest illus
tration; for, attending and following Its march,
generally faint, but often distinct and hideously
blast', is its shadow and Ifs curse, License, which I
regard as the acorn from which the great oaks of
evil, whose branches, spreading far and wide over
the land, darken Its horizon, and blacken Its fame,
spring up, fora time flourish, but which, in the
providence of God, soon perish before the intelli
gence and justice of our country.
Thus, in the year 113.515, the ciountry, from end to
end, was runsied to fury by tales of dreadful out
rage, murder, and rapine, until the two'potions
appeared to stand like tigers, ready to 'piing at
each other's throat. Nub of this hod, its origin in
vulgar fends between vulgar man,
.wko covered
their orinsta with a seaming glom of political vir
tue, and Jan from being outlaw, zombie , and
here'-thleitisc became hems, patrioth and rtyre
—ay, and politleal.goda to thousands of r peo
ple, afflicted with too mash libertyandbipp ess of
-hogs—penPla , who seek oVeetis of pal
through a teleseipi, and otiiiritiot thateretth sees
that' paradise daily and barfly before their own
doors. Every trl lug incidental' Aaiun; '56.4
paged from tongue to tongue, gathering pro
•portion and bitterness as It went. until at
last, to the ere:helm multitude It seemed a very
mountain of wrong. the foulest slander, the
greatest lie, forted' readiest listener'', and dream.
stances most iiiding were distorted Into dreedbas
meanings. Thus, littese—the curse of our systems
—through Irresponsible presses and tongues,
brought the country to the verge of destruction ;
peace, prosperity, and happiness, gave place to
hatred, oontention, and civil war : but the Union,
though angered and agitated—its surface ruffled by
the contending waves of fanaticism—moved proud
ly on, secure in the millions of hearts that form it s
bed—and 'inevitable, enduring, and eternal as is
the ocean.
In that storm much of our political froth and
1311111 was floated to the top. We elected James
Buchanan to the Presidency. We gave him: char t
and compose to guide him, and he was accepted by
the conservative sentiment of the country as Ito
type and guardian. State after State gave evi
dence of returning senso—New England, even, out
voting her fanatics—and all our hearts were made
glad with the prospect of a happy, peaceful feture.
But, alas! the pilot we bad chosen WAS Ineempe
tent and unworthy—proved false to his word, false
to his friends, and false to the duties of his station.
Mental and moral weakness and ingratitude with
him are probably original sins. /le dropped his
principles and his friends at the same time, and
took congenial refuge In the favor of political pi.
rates, who whine forth their pram, in proportion
as he feeds them.
Now, sir, is the point of all this. Since Cite pe
riod at which he forsook greatness, and aide() to
boom* little, every Republican victory has been
simply a defeat of James Buchanan, and riot of
the Demosratic party. It is my conviction that
the rankest proala very man In the South today,
would run better t han he, even in Pennsyllrania.
Hie election was a splendid triumph over 1 error
and fanaticism, but hardly was it achieved are
he took its glory—the dignity of his Governtilent—
the immortality and fame to which an hondrable
course would have led him, and, bundling them
altogether, threw ikon onto Calioun'a estate
bop, from which his Administration may bd said
to have derived all its light—a light th t shines
and flickers, awl dickers and shines, and will finally
go out in rank and greasy offence, like the cheap
est article of the chandler's ware.
To glee you an illustration of the feeling lire: I
know of one gentleman, who for thirty•seven yeara
never gave other than •
Buchanan developed himself, and rime then be
has voted with the Opposition, with wham he has
no sympathy whatever, beyond contempt Mr the
"favorite eon." That voter is only one of thou.
sands who love the Fonth u they do the :forth,
but who have gone with the Opposition on laid and
minor questions, merely to mark their hafted to
Buchanan's Administration, whets iniquitir, by
the power and patronage of Government, were bar
nested to the backs of plaoemen, (those poor politi
cal " logs that go segues the flood" of authority,)
mere party machines, by the control of which that
Administration hu obtained sporty endorseMent.
But the rotors rebelled, and hence the Republican
victories.
The successes of the Republicans, like those of
an army, of source brought them thousands of
esmp•followers, who care only for spoils, not prin
ciples ; and then there are other thousands, as you
well know, whose lives have been one long trontx
nued conflict with the Demooratio:party—to destroy
which, they would fight under any leader, even
Seward or Satan, had they any chance of winning.
Now take these two classes, and Buchanan's party
foes, from the Republican vote, and you will
laugh at the molehill you had Imagined a moan•
lain.
There is one element of mischief, however, in the
present aspect of affairs, which I fear aboie all
others—it is the bad blood engendered by the
frothy speeches of extremist! North and South.
Such men as Hammond, for instance, with his
boyish mud•sill insult to eighteen millions of
people, do nothing but harm. And then the
threats that are so flippantly thrown in our teeth,
as to what you will and what you won't doLas if
we were all John Browne—fall upon our hearte
with chilling force. Both North and South should
withdraw the word spouts that cow misrepresent
them. They are seldom brave except in boasting..
If the time shall ever 000:10 when you are really
assailed, In or oat of the Union, we shall expect
find every Southern arm a hero's, and every
Southern soul A burning spirit of coollot ; for
bravery is a conceded virtue with you But why
allow all this bravado—why allow your polltiCllll.l
CU make lehmsolites of you? They weaken your
position and dishearten your friends.
The peril of this crisis is in the estrangements
and enmities they, in common with our own dews
ugues, create and perpetuate. Pennsylvania, I
know, is all right., She is too great to threaten—
too powerful to fear. She will concede your rights.
and your foes shall be her foes. But for sod's sake,
out down rho political reeds that rear their empty
heads in your section, as we shall hare, for blood is
bleed, North and South, and will not stand con
stant heating. Let both lotions frown down the
hungry bidders for local applause, and advance in
their stead those who have &luta equal to the Re
public's limits. Let us away with the rubbish, be
ginning with Buchanan and his parasites. lie
Administration) believe is the cease of most of our
present troubles, and is a failure and a disgrace.
Place yourself in imagination on the grandly mo
ral heights amidst which Washington lived and
breathed, and game down to the vulgar sink that
his present sueoetwor delights in, And if your heart
is not appalled by the terrible descent 'twill be be
cause your sight is too dim, or because that
euecessor is beyond the range of all moral vision.
'Tie like gazing from a heaven of nobility toe hell
of maggoty corruption. Let on unebeath the po
litical knife, and cut from the body politic all ouch
sores. I untsoientionsly believe 'tls necessary, and
that until we do so there will be no peace nor hap
piness, but a continuation of unrest and irritation.
This done, let us unfurl the banner of the Consti
tution, and preserve it inviolate, for if we slight
that Constitution we
'• From the curbed license pluck
The muzzle of restraint. and the wild dog
Elos'l flesh his costa in every innocent."
That Constitution should be our political gospel,
and if we but oburre iu obligetions we shall yet
only love each other all the more for baring so
foolishly quarrelled.

Er Such was the late Dr. J. A. Alexander's
love of study when a child, and his ability to ac

library, he commenced studying it, and at fourteen
had so mastered the language that he read the
Koran through, in the original. Ile then proceed•

Latin,) in the ordinary course of study, and was
well acquainted with Hebrew before he entered
the seminary as a student. From Hebrew he pro

competent judges who knew him well, to have had

Banos, Feb. 6, IVA.
MY nets Stu : Yours is received. I cheerf7lly
give you all I have to say in regard to the Guber
natorial nomination. I say now, as I have said
from the Ant suggestion or .y name, that I do
not desire it, and would ticcidatly prefer that it
should be conferred on tome one else. In saying
this, I have no Lien of dispersging the nomination
or of affecting to look down upon it. Conferred
by that party stieh embodies all Late true and
genuine Democracy, the real eonterratime. and

I do not desire it, and would very much prefer tot
to hare it. For this I. hare three or four private
reasons, which axe quite convincing to myself, and
equally so to many friends who are attpuinte4
with them, bat whieb it would be In bad taste and
obtrusive to thrust sport the publie. It.luereei
by these, I hare from the bee, - .ing erpreseed the
wish, and repeat it now, that n, man will urge my
nomination from the motive of mere personal
friendship to me.
I nevertheless recognise fully the obligation rest
ing upon every man to sacrifice personal contidere
dons to any reasonable extent, when called on by
his party to become a candiJete, for their sae,
and not his own ; and, recognising this obligation,
I would respond to it wherever snob a state or eir
minuteness should oecur. On tle resent ,

You area delegate to the nominating conumtion,
and I would Impress on you the necessity of select
ing a standard-bearer who is sound upon the two
great questions on which our future huge. the

the second is, whether free white labor seal be

in their purity, and roll tack the tide of corrup

national spoils party, we tuustplant ourselves on

mands this protection and ought to have it. Our
candidate should be as sound on this point as the
other. I know that the Republican parry are not as
unanimous on this u on the former question, but the
People's party of Pennsylvania are: and I believe
that the greet dominant eon:rolling mass of the
Republicans of the nation are with them, an I will
mike it a part of their platform. Without in it is
idle and absurd to expect to curry Pennsylvania,
end the sooner this 's distinctly enders:cod, the
better. We must look this truth in the face. In
deed, I cannot understand how a man can be a
Free-trade Republican. Meaning no disrespect to
adverse opinions, they seem tome plainly paradox
ical. To the development of free intelligent labor,
this protection is a necessity, while slavery and
free trade are the most natural allies. So tree is
this, that If oar Union ended at Mama attic Dixon's
line, or was composed entirely of free States, there
would be but one opinion upon the subject, and
free-trade doctrines weed become a curiosity.
Very truly yours, A. If. RIDDLE.
