THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION AND
THE AMERICAN PARTY."
Tbe fourth section of the aeoond article of our
Constitution reads thus:
"No person except a natural born citizen, or a
citizen of the United States at tbe time of the
adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to
the office of President.
Will the "Stanford give us or its readers one
good reason for this -proscription' clause in our
Constitution T Will it tell us wby Washington,
Madison, Franklin, and tbe other patriotic sages
who framed that Constitution, thought it best to
put such a section in it ? Was there any neces
sity tXtm for such a feature in our great text
book? Was it wise, or prodoot, or kind, at tkat
early day,' thus to exclude from the highest of
fice within the gift of a generous and grateful
people each a man as La Fayette 1
Will tbe "Standard frankly answer Us? We
are earnest in wishing a frank answer; for many
of ewr readers read that paper also, and they
aometiroes complain to us that it has a singular
propensity to ermdt answering questions whose
evident Cairn and importance require honeef,
straight-forward answers.
Of coarse we are not responaiUe foe this queer
'dodging.' so characteristic of our neighbors ; but
if the Democratic subsfribeT of the "SiajidanT
wiU still complain to as that it does not answer
our fair, open questions, (lor DetbocraU read str
. paper, too), they will see that we are doing our
Vest to bring about a wholesome reform.' WOI

CONSTITUTIONAL" CONSTRUCTION.
Th Pri.l(iit l.v t; t.rf late successive ve
toes, ha put aa od to 'ail hope of ipproprie
tiona for interna improvement daring hi term of
office, ttaleM, indee-t, the two Hoiuiea sh-uld join
in passing the condemned bills by, a taT-thirds
rote, a rimitnstance ik4 at all likely to occur.
We are not purpnoing to bold the President per
sonally mrmtiMr-Ie fT putting a atop to meaa-
orea that are demanded by Uie moat important
intercuts of the country, and, to our understand
ing, clear! within the constitutional powers of
the government. That the mouth of the Miasis
fcippi aheuld become impassable whilst tLe coun-
I try retains in usel inaction twenty millions of
pW in iU aUong W U a grieroua error, but it
wiKKtrie Unit ol tbe freoKient. lie it out me
exerutire officer of tit party that put Lin in
power, and aa it Las jtrouounced against internal
improvententa by the general government, no
matter how national in their character, aa uncon
stitutional, le U wholly consistent with tlx poai
tiu he occupies on the prt platform when ne
iiiteqwxea the power of negation the Constitu
Uon has confided to him. The tact that the billa
be waa called upon to veto had been passed by a
Senate in which the members of his own party,
proteasing to stand with him on the aame plat
form; were largely in the majority, was not al
lowed to alter his de"iiou. They might, and in
reality did, find it convenient to ignore their pajr
ty principles and avoid responsibility by permit
ting or facilitating the passage of these bills, but
the President was expected to assume tlia respon
sibility they avoided, and though keenly suscep
tible to the damage these vetoes might do to his
chances at Cincinnati, to throw himself with all
his political hopes into the breach which had
been occasioned by the defection of hia own par
ty. . Let us, therefore, give Pierce all due credit
for consistency in this matter, and remember that
tbe responsibility of tbe act belongs aot to him
but to the party he represents, and whose prin
ciples he may rghtly aaaanie were endorsed in
his election.
The locofuco party, therefore, through
Pierce, has reiterated its opinion on the uncoo
stitutionality of the improvement, of rivers and
harbors, at the verr momeut that it is about to be
lie fore the country, demanding an approval of its
policy and a renewal of power. It has done this
in the moat emphatic form, showing that it is
progressive in the mstter of constitutional con
struct ion as well as other points of political or
thodoxy. Tbe improvement of the mouth of the
Miaeiasippi was thought to be one that might
escape the dangers of strict construction. Run
ning from the South away through the Central
and up into the Northern section of the country,
watering alike the borders of free and slave
States, and bearing towards the ocean tbe products
of an empire, that river had been recognised by
Mr. Calhoun himself, at the Ifemphia Conven
tion, as an "inland sea," whose claims upon na
" ? M? "T
But the
lights that guided the strict constructionist of
Fouth Carolina in hia decisions are dimmed be
side those by which the Democratic party now
direct their course. Mr; Calhoun could admit
the power of the Federal Government to make
appropriations for the improvement of harbors
and the seaboard, and he voted for appropria
tions for harbors and channels when of national
importance, without doubt of the constitutional
propriety of his course; but Ilerce, as the expo
nent of his party's principle of hostility to a
general aysUm of internal improvement by the
Federal Government, is unable to admit the con
stitutional power o' the Government, either, as
in the cae of the Mississippi river, to open the
way for the coram'ree of the States into the gulf,
by the improvement of the St. Qair Flats to
muove an obstacle to the navigation of the
Great Lakes. Virtually, by this decision, neither
the Mississippi nor the lakes are national. We
uny talk of them as something common to the
country, as features of national geography, but
they are only figuratively so ; the government
refugee to ibeni its protection, and denies any
but the moat limited responsibility for their con
dition. But Pierce, though consistent with his party
in ts hostility to internal improvements, ia not
so consistent with himsel f, in other matters. Strict
constructionism op and exclaims in a moat pot-'
ential voice " I forbid,'' when it is proposed to
make a harbor safe, improve the channel ef a river
or open the mount h of a great Inland sea ; but it
is docile and subdued when millions of acres of
lands are donated away for railroads. In the
tame week in which the Presideat turned his
back on the Mississippi river, ke govt a gradou
auemt to a bill granting to tkt StaUoJ Jbwa, mlone,
ovtr four million acre of land to aid in tkt etm
ttrwiion of four different raHnadt, about forty
miU$ apart, naming from tkt Misiiurppi to tkt
ATutouri rieer, thus crossing: the whole State font
times from east to west, and averaging nearly
three hundred miles each in length. -Ths Presi
dent may be able to reconcile it to his party prin
ciples that it is constitutional to 'give lands for
railroads but u neons titutionai to grant money for
rivers and harbors, and that it is within the powers
of the general government to improve one State
by aiding to construct four railroads through its
limits, but beyond those same powers to improve
and render navigable an M inland sea," whose
waters traverse nine States. But however con
butent be may make such principles with party
orthodoxorbidding the one because it is for
bidden in "bis schedule of partisan doctrines, and
permitting the other because it is not expressly
denounced there, even though it be essentially a
part of a scheme of internal improvements, yet
we Imagine that he cannot convince an intelligent
people that there is ritbeir common sense or or
dinary justice in making a distinction where no
difference exists, And lavishing the landed pro
perty of the government upon every enterprise
that asks it, wbilat its money, ia hoarded and with
held with peniirious band from internal improve-
msU pressing in their importance and national
ia their object ; " :
"V; "DEMOCRACY." '. t
There was a time in the history of this coun
try when Democracy was not an unmeaning
term, a mere catch phnwe to gull and deceive the
ignorant and unsuspecting. In the earlier days
of the Republic, those calling themselves Demo
crats ud acting as the leaders of the Republican
Party, were men of fixed principles, who had ob
jects and purposes in view in strict accordance,
and in entire harmony, with the liberal democra
tic principles they professed, and the political
nomenclature they had assumed. 1 How different
is the ease now 1 Corruption now stalks abroad
under the name and sanction of the Democracy
of the present day. '. j
Democracy has been in power so loug that it
has become so degenerate aud so profligate and
corrupt, that it retains no longer aught but its
name. All the principles, if such they may be
called, now carried out by it, give the lie to its
prefesidoua aud its name. The power of govern
mental patronage in its hands has become a mon
ter ma-hine, whose heavy wheels of oppression
and destruction seem destined to crush out, in the
name of Democracy, every vestige of true repub
lican libtrty, if its career be not checked and
speedily put an end to. This is no ideal picture
having no substantial reality.- There is now a
class of men. bellowinz at the ton of their voices
Democracy and controlling its action, and con
sequently that of tbe Government, most of whom
might be very properly denominated professional
political gamblers men who hare stolen 'the
livery of Heaven to serve the Devil,' and-who
commit all sorts of fraud, oppression and tyranny,
while they at tbe same time profe an exclusive
devotion to Democracy. ' Who that list a regard
for truth w'H deny the correctness of these asser
tions ? They cannot be guinsaid, and the sooner
the honest yeomanry of the country often their
eyes to the fact, the better it will be for them
selves and the .country. ! '
Truly has a recent writer in the Democratic
Review, in neticing the abuses of the name of
Democracy, and speaking of demagogues of this
stamp, said, that to talk of honesty and disinter
estedness in connection with such characters, is
to insult the spirit of truth, and offer a gross in
dignity to tbe common sense and, decency of the
world. UnCke the noble eagle, they do not court
a combat with the living, but, like the filthy vul
ture, they are attracted by the offensive odor of
the dead, and exult in the rile task of exhuming
the half buried carcasses, and robbing them of
their jewels. Of independence, they know not1
ing ; a simple aert, like certain tenants, under the
ancient laws of England, they are transferred in
a deed of sale as a mere incident of the soil no
more "mention being required of them than of the
hounds and. foxes of the manor; they glory in
servility, and boast that they are ready and anx
ious to do whatever is commanded.
Is it not then high time for American freemen
to waken up to their own true interests and those
of the country, and hurl from power men who
prate Democracy without being true to a simple
Democratic principle? Let us not hare our libertiea
taken away aad subverted by being' deluded, ca
joled and deceived by empty professions, and un
der false pretences. The west despotism on
earth may be rocked in a Democratic cradle, and
reared under a Democratic name. Tyranny and
oppression has ever assumed a j guise, and stolen
upon the people Uk a masked thief at night.
Let the mask of Democracy be torn off, and the
demagogues who misrule the land be exposed in
all their naked deformity. Let us look to prin
ciples and measures, and no longer be hoodwink
ed and gulled by a name which is only borne the
more effectually to cheat and swindle us out of
our rights. i :
Tbe Northern papers are all condemning
and denouncing Mr. Brooks for his assault on
Senator Sumner, in the severest terms. We do not
justify or excuse the mode and manner in which
redress was taken for a supposed wrong. But,
in censuring the attack, let not the cause be for
gottenand let the whole -affair be a reason
which should induce the Senate hereafter to pre
vent the kind of debate which has recently pro
railed in that body. The Senate chamber is.
certainly, we admit, no . place for brawls and
fights, and every American citizen must lament
the recent occurrence. But the Senate cham
ber, also, is no place for foul language, abuse,
taunts, and opprobrious epithets. One evil leads
necessarily to another. The1 Senate must pre
serve its own dignity, in order to command the
respect of the public. '"!.

the destruction of Lawrence. ' It states that after
Marshall Donelson had entered town and made
arrests of all for whom he had warrants he turn
ed his posse over to Sheriff Jones, whose attempts
to. make arrests were resisted by the people, who
fired on his men. Jones then cannonaded and
set fire to the Hotel and Herald ef Freedom office,
destroying both. The artillery were still firing
and the flames spreading when the messenger
left. " But few lives were lost. . r. ' .,

Jones requested Eldridge to remove the furniture
from bis Hotel, but he declined, when a posse
entered and carried most of it into the street.
Jones gave express orders that no private pro
party be injured, particularly Robinson's house,
not to be touched, but after a portion of the posse

. CONGRESSIONAL. " ':j
. . Wasbinqtos May 27.
Sesate. Mr. Trumbull gave notice to-day of
his intention to introduce a bill to prevent civil
war and restore peace in Kansas. x . .
A bill was passed for the introduction of a
uniform code of marine signals ; after, which Mr,
Slidell called the attention of the Senate to a tel
egraphic despatch, giving Mr. Sumner's state
ment before, the House, which the committee
published this morning. A long debate then
took place. Some excitement.' ;
Messrs. Slidell aud Douglas disclaimed, any
knowledge, of the contemplated assault.;
Mr. Toombs denied being near Mr. Brooks
at tbe time, but approved of the act, while Mr.
Butler said, had he been present, he would have
assumed all tbe responsibility. 'Vj
Mr. Wade saH, if the principle of assault were
to prevail, we must come here armed. Although
you are four to one, I am here to meet you. Man
can die in no better caus than in the defence of
the liberty of speech.
: Mr. Wilson remarked that the assault was bru
tal, cowardly and murderous, to which Mr. But
ler replied, emphatically, denying the charge.
The subject was then, after a little further de
bate, dropped. .
Mr. Cass made a further explanation iu refer
ence to Craniptou's correspondence, wh'ch hid
misrepresented him. A special order, being the
President's vetoes, uext came up. Mr. Toombs
defended the one of the bill for the improvement
of the mouth of the Mississippi, which subject
was further discussed by others. Senate then ad
journed. House. Mr. Walbridge, on the Cmmittee
of Public Lands, reported a bill granting 1,300,
000 acres of land in Michigan for railroads.
A motion to table the bill was negatived by 1
67 against 80. On the second reading of the
bill, it was passed by a rote of 78 against 57.
Wakhikoton, May 28th. Semate Mr.
Pearce, from the Select Committee to investiga'e
the Sumner affair, made a report, stating that
Erecedents are to be found only in the House of
presentatives, the Senate having never been
called on to pronounce judgment in, a similar
case. Several precedents were cited, and the
Committee had come to the conclusion that al
though the assaulf was in violution of the privi
leges of the Senate, it was not in their jurisdic
tion. The offence wits only punishable by the
House. This being strict parliamentary law and
the regimen oT the Constitution, the Committee
recommend that the Senate make no complaint
to the House, but smply submit a resolution to
that body. j
. The Senate then adjourned.
Uocsb. A bill was introduced ceding public
lands for railroadj in Minnesota, Nebraska, and
Kansas.
A bill was introduced ceding by the Gorern-
ment lands to the State wherever located.
Mr. Greenwood introduced to repeal the act es
tablishing the Court of Claims.
The resolution was adopted, Mr. Toombs alone
voting in the nagat) re.
A bill was passed granting a million and a half
acres of land to the Louisiana Railroads.- '
Mr. Crow asked a unnnimoua consent to renort
a bill admitting Kansas with a Free State Con
stitution, which was objected to. .
FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES.
A Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald, in giving an account of the efforts of M.
de Sartiges, the French minister, to induce the
American Government to accept the explanation
of Mr. Crampton and Lord Clarendon as satis
factory, gives the subjoined account of qn inter
view between the minister and Mr. Marcy :
He represented that the.continuance of peace
ful relations between England and the United
States was the earnest wish of his master, the
Emperor, who, since his accession to the throne
of Franch, had personally, and through his re-'
presentatives, evinced on every possible occasion
a friendship to the Union. Mr. Marcy ia said to
have expressed satisfaction at the assurance giv
en, and remarked that it d;d not correspond with
other official statements which the Uaited States
had received from parties of reputable standing
in their own country.
The Minister promptly interposed, and denied
in the firmest manner the truth of any report
adverse to the one which he had just made. The
scene at this moment, according to represents
tion, must have been one of interest, for Mr.
Marcy, rising from hia seat, excused his absence
for a moment, when he returned from an adjoin
ing room with an original despatch in his hand,
addressed to the Secretary of War, Mr. Davis,
which he opened, and, by permission of M. Sar
tiges, commenced reading extracts therefrom.
"Now," said Mr. Marcy, closing-the document,
"what I have just read to you is from a report of
an army commission which was sent out by this
Government for the benefit of science ; and am I
to understand from the free assurance that you
have given, that his Majesty, the Emperor, was
ignorant of the language used by his War Secre
tary to the officers of this mission, to whom he
not only declined extending the courtesies soli
cited, but added to the refusal an expression ho
ping "that when they next met it might be at
the cannon's mouth V " Mr. Marcy continued :
"Thi language is further corroborated by a des-
gatch to this department from our Minister at
aris." De Sartiges took a hurried leave.
A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
The saddest story that we ever read was that
of a little child in Switzerland, a pet boy, just as
yours is, reader, whom his mother one bright
morning rigged out in a beautiful jacket all shin
ing with gilt and buttons, and gay as a mother's
love could make it, and then permitted him to
go out to play.. Be had scarcely stepped from
the door of the " Swiss Cottage," when an enor
mous eagle scooped him from the earth, and bore
him to his nest, high among the mountains, and
yet within sight of the house of which he had
been the joy. There, he was killed and devoured,
th'j eyrie being at a point which was literally in
accessible to man, so that no relief could be af
forded. In tearing the child to pieces, the eagle
so placed his gay jacket in the nest, that it be
came a fixture there, and . whenever the wind
blew it would flutter, and tbe -sun would shine
upon its lovely trimmings and ornaments. : For
years it was visible from the low lands long after
tho. eagle had abandoned the nest. What a sight
it must have been to the parents of. the victim 1
Some of. the gentlemen of Charleston
have provided a cane for Mr. Brooks, "to show
their appreciation of his late act of 'licking Sen
ator Sumner.' "
Town meetings have been held in Newberry
and Anderson, and resolutions complimentary to
Mr. Brooks have been adopted. A handsome
gold-headed cane has b?en sent from the former
place to Mr. Brooks. ': 1 " '
Subscriptions, headed by the Governor of the
State, are being taken up in Columbia, for the
purpose of presenting Mr. Brooks with a silver
pitcher and goblet; and the slaves of that city, we
are told, M have already a handsome subscription,
and will present an : appropriate token of their
regard to him who has made the first practical
issue for their preservation and protection in
their rights and enjoyments as the happiest la
' borers on the face of the globe" IF2. Herald.

Garnett, Superintendent of the North Carolina
Railroad, that' sonje fiend or fiends iu humau
shape made two attempts, on Wednesday last,
to throw, trains from the track, in one of which
they were successful. The particulars are as
foltows: About two miles east of Raleigh, a
large oak rail or rafter was placed across the
track ; the passenger ;cngiue coming first.' moved
tne oustructiou inure than a huadre.l yards un
der the cow-catcher, without being thrown off

jjUi:the second instance, which was about 10
o clock, A. M. heavv planks had been placed
across the rails, at the same cro&aug, and the
gravel train, backing dowu from this place, had
uve cars tnrown irm tne tracK. down an em
bankment over ten feet high. There jvere
twelve negroes oh the cars it the. time, four of
.whom were severely iuj'-red ; some limbs were
brpkyrbut no one killed. Drs. llines' and Hay
wood, were soon on the spot, and rendered all
the medical aid necessary. Ve learn the in
jured negroes are doing well. As this aUemot
appears to have been premeditated, it should, by
all means, both for thesifety of passengers, and
the welfare of the rnad, be sifted to the very bot
tom, and the perpetrator, if detected, be made to
suffer the full penalty of the law.

Attention Officers. We would respectfully re
mind our Gty Officers that there is an Ordinance
prohibiting the rolling of hand-carts," "wheel

the penalty for a violation of this law is a fine of
five dollars ; and we have uo doubt, if the law
were properly enforced, th.U our City Treasury
would be considerably helped, and our side-walks
be less rough and uneven:

we notice, has been for a long time, and is still,

DOUGLAS AND BUCHANAN.
The Washington correspondent of the ' New
York Times, teils the folio wing : A good story
is t ld of Douglas aud Buchanan. Douglas was
sitting in a private parlor at Guy's National Ho
tel, the other night, talking with a, dozen pf Bu
chanan's friends, when the latt-r, having been
sent for, came in and joined the party. "My
young friend," said Buchanan, soon afterwards,
turning patronizingly to D aigl-'s, "let me give
you a, little advice. ' "Thank you !" irstantly
retorted Douglas, seizing him by the hand; fcI
expt ct to choose my Gn.-titutional advi.-ers soon,
and am most happy thus to rective you-'accep-'
tance in advance. -'Old Buck" was so confused ;
by this turn ! in ! the conversation, that he forgot
the proffered advice altogether. ; I
CREATING A SENSATION.
Why is it, that when the venerable Gorsuch,;
an unoffending Southern gentleuiau,' Wiis brutal-i
ly murdered in Pennsylvania, wc never heard of
any indignation meetiugs, even in the South ; but
when a foul-mouthed abolitionist is ; not killed
but merely cane i, such a vast sensation should
be produced? is the hide of Yankee abolition
istsof more value thau the lift of a Southern
gentleman?; ! j. . 4

, A. J. Dargan, Esq., has been chosen Elector1
on the American ticket ror this Congressional dis
trict. He has already accepted the appointment,'
and has begun a series of telling and effective
speeches iu behalf of the American candidates.!

Iaia. utales .i see in your iasi issue ma
am taken to task b "Qi.iz," for styling Mr.A M.
UMiltuMles) Lewis, MtUxadta" K,,urcorre-,Pnn
d nt asks, "what excuse can "Observer - render
for thus placing Mr. Iewis in, the i ludicrous lizbt
of a little man, diguified by a sotinding title."
I tfiink that I can satisfy "Quix" in a few words
that I am not dibg wrong. Iam but doing jus
tice to the man. Mr. Lewis has shown himself to
be as courageous as the thereof Marathon" in
some respects at least -1 have three reasons
why I style him "Miltiades." '--.-: y
- Firs?, In 1840 Mr.' Lewis was a hard cider
Whig He di l as much as other man to de
stroy the avple-juice. He uskinned" the pino
poles of the 'log cabin" until he got his unmen
tionables besmeared all over with Spirits of Tur
pentine.:. '' '- ' :"" ' ' : ..
Second. ' In 1853 Mr. Lewis took it into his
head tp go to Congress. Mr. Venable was a can
di late also. In this canvass Mr, L; proved him- J
self: worthy nf the appellation of "MiWadea.'' j
Ha cut Mr. Venable out, but did not exactly get
in himself, although he got the very large vote
of;200Q.V , ' ' " ;;!
Third. At the1 Democratic1 Meeting held hT
this conntyvat March -Oourt, to appoint- dele-'
sates to the State Convention,' he said he did not
have much confidence in his ability- but ie be
lieved if he had every Knowr Nothing in the
State there then, he could convert them over to
hisl way of thinking. You Mr. Editor and
"Quiz" had better look sharp or Mr. L. will con
vert you -1 have some more reasons, but I'
have' not time .to. write them now. I shall con- :
tinue to gie Mr. Lewis the benefit of the appel
lation and hope that "Quiz" will do the same. -
