A 'writer in the Ohio Crisis offers the following excellent views as to the duty of Democrats. We most earnestly ap prove what he says, and trust the Demo crats of Oregon will heed his views, and - adopt his wise counsels : . ' My object in writing this article is to "prevent, if possible, a disruption of the : Democratic party. Division now among j us would be disastrous to the party and the salvation of our country frohi anarchy and misrule. The facts of pasl experience t ought to admonish us and make us more . cautious in the future. The cardinal or fundamental truths which lie at the foun dation of our civil government, have al ways been the principles of onr civil and political faith. Upon these there should be no disagreement nor any attempt at concealment for they are the great cen tral points of onr civil compact, around which have clustered, for many years, the most precious fru:t3 which have swelled the common mart of our country's pros 4perity. All the minor or secondary issues before our counfrv are the bitter fruits of a violation of the eiples oi onr iorni ment. Therefore these pl&i should have a prominent pi in the Democratic platform. If the pres- "ent leaders of the Democratic . party are ashamed of those principles, or if they r.re afraid to defend them, they had better re- tire from the conflict and make room for more courageous men. We have seen the ad effects of truckling to the caprice of the enemy. The past admonishes us. '.and let us resolve that in the future that principles and not policy shall be our fuiding light, and that men of truth, onor, courage, consistency and fidelity shall be our standard-bearers. If this course is fcot pursued tire result will be .similar to tie unwise action of the late Chicago Convention and the Presidential election That Convention, by ignoring our tame-honored principles, expected by their peculiar policy to obtain the soldiers' vote and such as were halting between :twA opinions. They not only failed in this but they also failed in getting thou sands of Democrats to endorse their policy. I am strongly inclined to question the sincerity of those advocates of an aceoni teodatiag policy, and am sometimes in clined to believe they arc enemies in dis guise or the tools of our enemies, employed to conceal the real issues before the people. -Lt this anmonish Democrats and induce them to mse precaution in selecting mem bers to car conventions and thereby pre vent tiarikr mischief. ? ' Are t tie Abolitionists the rankest laSdels is tie land, 8 far as the suprem ey f law is concerned ? What law, hu 6aa or diviae, have they not violated? -la Waat does their loyalty consist ? Have litey preserved, defeded and maintained t&e supremacy -of the fundamental laws of our country ? Are Democrats afraid to charge them with their infidelity or or disloyalty to the laws of the land? The great issue before the people is, shall fidelity or infidelity triumph in our coun try? Shall the supremacy of our civil laws in all their beauty, power and incor ruptibility be preserved,' orsviIl we pass ively submit to see the inheritance be queathed to us by our worthy, ancestors i&itroyed and Bet aside by unauthorized f?tlamations and tribunals ? Are we to fee" degraded and corrupted t.tce of glares er are we to be freemen? Who U1 turner these questions ? These nuist fce met as 1 decided at the ballot-box, if tkey are cot pre rented by military ne- . tfessitv." ' .Tf feat are ; tie great issues before the icotistry now? First and most prominent M THI bQTEEEiaSTT, FREEDOM AND 1N- SEPESDsxcE oi the States. This was guaranteed to the State by Great Britain - at the close of the Revolution, which has "been preserved and maintained by the States np.to the year 1860. This was aeVer questioned until the present Aboli tion party cams into power. When' the Jsiates created a general government to Execute their will and pleasure, they did pot clothe their agent with, sovereign and taEBiited powef, neither did they make mmrreader ot' their sovereignty, freedom! jiaTe reserved - to. themselves the right, pot only to legislate for their own local interests, but also to elect the President, Senators and Congressmen to represent tLcia &ad legislate for their respective in terests and to execute their will and pleas i ure. AVhh nnthorizos the election oi' those men? The Statcs; The (Jencral CiovernuKMit is not sovereign, neither is it independent of. the States. It possesses no nnthority beyond that i fr;jiitr,i to it by the sovereign States. The State have reserved all rights not delegated to their agent. The State, govcrninenis tire, in the language of Scripture, "the powers that be," which require uffeetieiate obedi ence to their authority. To resist them is to '.osist the ordinance of (Jod ;" to revolutionize them by force of arms is treasonable rebellion against the Miprcttie authority of a sovereign State. A ,sov ereisn cannot commit treason against a ercature. An inferior may rebel against a superior, or the creature may commit treason against the creator, but a sover eign State cannot rebel against a depend ent, 1 hese are facts which no sane man will deny. In the light of truth this places the " Urcat Itebelhon upon the treasonable acts of " lowing war " asrainst a sovereign State, against the Atmlitiofi party who deserve the utmost penalty' of violated law. It is hoped that when the supremacy of civil law is restored in this country, that every one of them will be tried by the civil courts for the crimes perpetrated by them. Apprehending this in the restoration of law and order, they will oppose, with all their might, the rights of A sovereign State. This is the reason why they denounce State Rights. They are afraid of reaction and the appli cation of their own preaching from the text. " Whatsoever vc would that men should do unto you, do ye cveu so uuto them. What is the duty of Democracy ? To place the sovereignty, freedom and inde pendence of the States in their platform, and then by union of-effort preserve, de fend and maintain the doctrine of State Rights. Then let there also be engrafted in the platform the time-honored exposi tion of our political faith, as contained in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions by the great expositors of the Democratic creed, and success will again perch upon our banners. IIotv the Money Goes. When John T. Ford attempted to re open his Theatre at Washington and go on with a business which had received the approbation and the patronage of President Jjmcoln. the War Department stopped him. After waiting a reasonable time, Mr. Ford made a formal demand for the restoration of his property, which being refused, he employed counsel and was about to bring suit against tire Secre tary of War for damages. This seems to have brought that distinguished individual to a realizing sense of-the responsibility people. turning; the Theatre over to its owner and allow- iag him to do as he pieafI with it. the j Secretary of War has agreed to pay him j fifteen hundred dollars per month for it j till the first of February next. when, 'if Congress refuses to buy it for one bun- area inousana aoiiars, it is to be given up to him. Thus, at the very moment when th last dollar of the last loan authorized by Congress has been received and expend ed, and when the ablest Ertaueiers in the country are unable to sec where the mon ey is to come from that will be needed to carry the Government through till winter, the Secretary of War contracts to pay a rent amounting to eighteen per cent, per annum on the exaggerated value set upon this property. He also agrees to recom mend the purchase of the property for the use ot the Government, when it is certain, no matter what may be said to the contrary and by, way of excuse for the proposed robbery of the treasury, that it is not needed for the public service and is not worth the money asked for it. mt - r . rv . i xne seizure or tne ineatrc wnen it was on the eve of being rc-opened by its owner, was an outrage for which the Sec retary of War can render no sufficient excuse, fetill less sufficient will be any excuse he may attempt to render for sad dling on the empty national treasury the large amount he has airreed to pay for a property with which he had no business to meddle. Tsi Securitt or Personal Libertt. Senator Wilson, in a recent address upon universal suffrage, says " that on the nrst day of the next Congress he should introduce a bill for the personal liberty of every free man on this continent." This is excellent, if the Senator could effect so wide a blessing. There arc persons in Mexico, Braail, Cuba, (which is an appendage to the continent.) as well as in the United States, who would like very much to come in under so humane a provision of law. But let the Senator use bis exertions at the-earliest moment to se cure personal liberty to every freeman in the United States, which is as far as the power of our.Congress extends. All he has to do is to introduce a bill restoring the " privilege of the writ of habeas corpus'' to all the civil courts, and putting such guards to it, that hereafter it cannot be suspended in any case in time of peace. The habeas corpus is the best bill for the security of personallibcrty that ever was devised, and no free Govern ment can do without it. If he can promote its extension to the "continent" bo much the better. The whole family of man ought to be free, and its personal liberty absolute ly secured. Fhiia. ieager. Lathis Riding Sidewats.

Roth parties, no doubt, intended the Government should; be perpetual ; and the great and only difficulty was, the true construction to; be placed on the instrument which gave; that government existence. As to which party was or is right, or which wrong in this great contest, is not the object cf the present articlo cither to canvass or settle. The simple purpose will be to give a general and fair synopsis of the late Pres ident Jackson's sentiments therein, from the best and most authentic information. As many have labored under unfounded impressions concerning General Jsckson's fixed sentiments touching State Right?, especially in view of the South Carolina Proclamation in IXcembcr, 1S32. an at tempt will be here made to settle all doubts by the extracts following, arrayed a near ly as may be in chronological order. In Jackson's firot Inaugural Address. March 4, 1 821', he says : " In such measures as I may be calhnl to pursue, in rcgnM to the rights vt' the separate States, 1 hope to lie animated by a proper respect for those sovereign mem bers of our I r.ioh ; taking care net to confound vhe;powcrs they havo reserved to themselves with these thev have grant cd to the Cor feuerncv." iVgain. in bis Crst annual message toi Congress, I'cccinbcr 8, 129, be says : sacred loMiirations. .

If it! fail here, all hope iu regard to it will be! extinguished. That this was intended to no. a government of limited and f pecihc. 1 and not general powers, must be admitted by all; and it is our uuix to prcwrvo forjcalbd. would lose all their independence it the character mtcnocd by Us Iramcrs. If experience point out the necessity for an enlargement of thee powers, let us appdy for it to those for whose benefit it is to be exereii-eu, and not undermine the whole system by a resort to overstrain ed construction. The scheme has work ed Well, it his exceeded the hopes of those who devised it, and became an ob ject of admiration to the world. We are responsible to the country, and to the glorious cause of self government, for the preservation of 50 great a good. The great mass of legislation relating to our internal affairs was intended to be left where the Federal Convention found it- in the State Governments. Nothing is clearer iu my view than that we arc chiefly indebted for the success of the Constitu tion tinder which we arc now acting, to the watchful ahd auxiliary operation of the Mate authorities, j his is not the reflection of a day, but belongs to the most deeply rooted convictionsof my mind. I cannot, therefore, too strongly, or too earnestly, for my own sense of its impor tance, warn you against all encroachments upon the legitimate sphere of State sov ereignty. Sustained by its healthful and invigorating influence, the lederal system can never fail." - In the Mar-sville Veto Message of 27th May, 1830, he says : " When an honest observance of con stitutional compacts cannot be obtained from a community like ours, it need not be anticipated elsewhere ; aud the cause in which there has been so much martyr dom, and from which so much was ex pected by the friends of liberty may be -abandoned ; and the degrading truth that man is unfit for self -government admitted. And this will be the case if expediency be made a rule of construction in inter preting the Constitution r Power in no government could desire a better shield for the insidious advances which itisevcr ready to make upon the checks that are designed to restrain its action. In his Bank Veto Message of July 2 1832, he says: ' " Nor is our Government to be main tained, or our Union preserved by inva sions of the rights and powers ot the sev eral States. In thus attempting to make our Government strong, we make it weak Its true strength, consists in leaving indi vidual States as much as possible to them. selves ; making itself felt, not in power, but in its beneficence, not in its control, but in its protection, not in binding the State's more closely' to the centre, but leaving each to move unobstructed in its proper orbit." In his Annual Message of December 132, he eays: , " If a system compatible with the Con - mmuuurou.ru. ueueviscu wmcn .is iree stitution cannot be devised, which, is free I om seen tendencies, we snoma rccoiieci that that instrument prov-itks within ifsi;lf the mode of it amendment; and there is, therefore, nooxt n. e for the assumption of doubt Vnl po'.vi is by the (ieneral (lov ernuient.

If they do not, then they will not hesitate to make the grant. Roth Governments are the Governments of the people. Im provements must be made with the mnev of the pooph; ; and if the money can be collected and applied by those ttote sim ple and economical machines, the State Governments, it will unquestionably be safer anl better for the pe'ople, than to add to the splendor, the patronage, and the power of the General Government. That the Government tay be so admin istered as to preserve it.-, iac.'e-iicy in pro moting and securing these prenersl objects should be the only aim of our ambition, and we cannot, therefore, too carefully examine its structure, in order that we may not mistake its powers or assume those which the people InrVe reserved to them-: selves. 'We should constantly bear inj mind the fact that the considerations which j induced the framcrs of the Constitution to withhold from the ieneral Government, the power to regulate the great mays of the business and concerns i f the people have been fully justified ly experience. 1 Limited to a general superintending power to maintain pence at home and id toad, and to proscribe laws on a few subjects of general interest, not calculated to restrict human liberty, but to enforce human rights, this Government will find its strength and glory in the faithful discharge of these plain nhd simple duties." In his second Inaugural Address. March 4, 13.1, President Jackson says : " My cxjcricnce in public concerns, and the observation of a life somewhat advanced, confirm the opinions long since imbibed by mo, that the destruction of the State governments, or the annihila tion of their control over the local con cerns of the people, would lead directly to revolution and auarchy, and finally to despotism and military domination. Iu proportion, therefore as the Federal Gov ernment encroaches upon the rights of the States, in the same proportion does it impair its owu power and detract from the ability to fulfill the purposes of its creation. Solemnly impressed with these considerations, my countrymen will ever fisul ,ne r.Y tj exercise my constitutional J rowers m srrestintr measures which may , 1C ate In his Lfl.nd-bill Veto 31trsar:e. -1th Dec, l-3, he says : It appears to me that mrre l'iert road to cons.didatii.it can not be devi-ed. Money is power; and in that goverumci which ravs nil the Mtblic oHiecrs of tl rnmcnt ie 'States, will all political power be substan- tialiy concentrated. 1 he State rovcrn- (tvivnts, if governments they mirrht le and dignity; tne economy which now distinguishes them would be converted into a profusion, limiied only by the extent of the supply, Rcing the doj ndents of the (ieneral Government and looking to the treasury as the source of their emol uments, the State officers, under whatever name they might pass, and by whatever forms their duties might be prescribed, would in effect be the mere stipendiaries and instruments of the central power. It is too obvious that such a course would subvert our well balanced system of government, and ultimately deprive us of the blessings now derived from our lwppy Cnion." Henrv. The Secretarv of War. Tho Pittsburg Post remarks as follows concerning Mr. Stanton : The present Secretary of War is one of ,L f -i 1 1- 1 ..

Piocs, Moral, Ptritas Boston. A late State paper has the following t Boston is becoming infamous for the out rages perpetrated in its vicinity. A few weeks ago, two children by the name of Joyce, a girl fifteen and a boy fourteen years of age, were found murdered in the woods near Roxbury, a suburb of Boston, the girl having been brutally outraged before being killed. A bounty jumper by the name of Stewart was arrested tor the orlense. Un Thursday last another horrible outrage was pespetrated bv three ruffians upon a child named Alice Burns, within a short distance of Boston. The child attended a picnic near tho citv. and after the perpetration of the horrible act, was aiscovcrca by uer - . . . friends in a perfectly insensible state, she still remains in a. very critical conaition. White Slaves. The Hartford Times says in Connecticut they have a system of putting up poor men ana women on an auc tion block and selling them (or their servi ces, which is the same thing) to the loidcst bidder. Of course it is all right to sell poor white men by the Puritans ; but it is hein ous to sell black men. Black is the win- nin' color" nowamong that class. t u An Abolition Chaplain.

The following from the Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer, will show the hypoc risy and treachery of the Administra tion im regard to the Monroe Doctrine : The reasons which implied the late President Lincoln to inform his Post master G(ircra), Montgomery Riair, about a year ago, that the time had come when his room in the Cabinet was more desir able than bis company, have never been authoritatively stated to the public. We infer from the speech delivered by Mr. Riair at Hagerstown, fln the 12th inst.. that his opposition to Lincoln and Sew ard's surrender of the Monroe Doctrine had something to do with Jiis ejection from the Cabinet. A Presidential election jyas impending, and Lincoln was again a candidate. The war was undecided, and minors were rife that France was about to. recognize the South. Such recognition, though it might not have secured the independ ence of the Confederacy, would undoubt edly have insured the defeat of Mr. Lin coln. To ward off this threatened disas ter to himself, the late President pur chased the continued non-interference of France by a shameful; abandonment of the lung-settled policy of the country. Mr. Llair seems to have been violently opposed to this pusillanimous step, whiefi he charges to the account of Messrs. Sew ard and Stanton. He" asserts that "both our Slate and War Department's have hem subordinate to Napoleon's poliej-." He reminds the publi that when "our House of Representatives rc-cehoed the voice of the -convention fliat nominated Lincoln .nd Johnson as candidates, pledged, if lected. to reassert and main tain the Monroe Doctrine even in the midst of the rebellion, the State Depart ment instantly dispatched a disclaimer to the Emperor of the French, through our minister to Paris, containing the assur ance that the opinions of the House' was not that ci the Government, and giving him to understand that the Executive would not co-operate with the House." He adds that "the War Office confirmed this intimation of the State Department immediately by its action," an order be ing "entered against the exportation of arms, which were essential to enable the Mexicans to defend themselves,; while j the French were allowed forage audi transportation, which were-all they want-j ed."

It has more than once been asserted, but as often dcuicd, that President Johnson would avail himself of the first reasona ble excuse he could find to rid himself of some of his ready-made constitutional advisers. He is Very intimate with the Blair family, and it was at the house of the father of Montgomery and Frank, uear Washington, that, by careful nurs ing, his health wast restored after its alarming breakdown on the day of his in auguration as Vice President. When the close personal and political relations of President Johnson and the Blairs are taken into account, and when it is re membered that Montgomery Blair wound up his Hagerstown diatribe against Sew ard and Stanton with a eulogy on the "courage, judgment, constancy and pa triotism" of the President, there is cer tainly room to BUspect that the latter has given the" Blairs to understand that he will not quarrel with them if they find means to drive Seward and Stanton out of the Cabinet.

A Western paper compiles and 'gives the following. We commend it to the perusal of those who would place the ne gro cm a level with the white man : At no period- in the history of this country have crimes been so numerous and;" eo atrocious us now. During the last week our exchanges have been more than usually occupied with accounts of murders, robberies, rapes and arsons, il lustrating the appalling demoralization of the times almost directly traceable to thp war, to the violations of law by those in authority, and to the teachings of the deluded reformers and fanatical ptolftieal leaders. Much of the prevalent disorder grows out of the antagonism between the whites and negroes, and the extraordinary audacity and insolence ..with which the latter have hecr.me imbued by the teach ing of the fanatical demagogues who ex pect political preferment by pandering to the most degrading and hU!exu3 pas sions of the black.. A white woman named Mrs. Dalliitger, residing near Lafayette, Indiana, was as saulted by two negroes, one of- them named Gaines, and the other unknown. She made a stout resistance to tliem, and Gaines finally stabbed her until she be came faint from the loss of blood, when both violated her person. Roth fiends were arrested and lodged in the jail at Evausvillc. On the following day a mob collected about the jail, broke down the door, dragged out the prisoners and beat them to death. After tley were dead they were taken up and hanged to a lamp-post on the corner of the street, whe re they were hanging at a late hour in the evening. They were ultimately taken down and buried. On the 28th of July, at Johnsonville, Tennestee, a man employed as wagon master of the telegrajdx corps, accidently offended some of the negro troops sta tioned at the jdace by his language. They exaggerated the affair to their offi cers, got an order for the man's arrest, pursued him out the rocd upon which he was leaving the town, and brutally mur dered him. They shot him through and through, strikin? him in the bend in two pdaces. once tnrotlgh the neck, once through the hand, and once through the body. They then stripped him of his clothes, watch and cash to the amonnt of from $150 to $200. leaving his dead body where he fell. The correspondent who mentions these facts says that nothing bos bcea clone to arrest or punish the perpetrators of this murder, and, in fact, if is scarcely noticed, so common are oc currences of this kind there. a This un fortunate man was the third one who had been shot daring his stay at that place about five days.

The negroes then insulted Mrs. Whitsel in the most outrageous manner, and at tempted to violate her person. Her cries brought some neighbors to her rescue, when the villians made good their es cape. The news of this outrage was soon made known, when the citizens armed themselves and started in pursuit of the outlaws and.would-be murderers. Oa the next day a dead negro was found near the spot where the outrage was committed ; and the people were then stiil m search of the ruffians, the excitement was intense, and there was no telling what might be the result a mob against the negroes be ing anticipated.

' - A correspondent at int. Vernon, oet- ferson county, Illinois, sends us the par ticulars of a horrible murder recently committed in that county under peculiar circumstances. A farmer named .Den nett left his wife, who was in the last stages of consumption, in charge fa ne-" gro woman while he went to work in the field; ' On his return he found his wife lying in the middle of the room, with her head chopped off and her body horribly mutilated. In the preliminary examina tion, the negro woman swore that a strange" man, having on a silk dress, entered the house, demanded money, which was given to him, and then murdered the lady ; but upon being examined " in court she swore that Dennett had murdered his own wne, although there was no other evidence to substantiate such a charge, and it is gen erally believed that the negro committed the crime, from the tact that blood-stained clothes and other evidences were found in her house near by. Bennett is, how ever, still in jail, and the wench, is at liberty. The President a Usurper.
