Much now i being said on the quos
tlon of changing tkekw prorMing for
Preaitlential Electors and allowing the
people to choose a President direct, :md
thore is unquestionably a growing dis
position in favor of changing the Fed
aral Con ti itloa in this respect. At
a late gathering of Indiana Democratic
editors to map out a future policy, this
Htm the first recommendation. The
oalvoVj action to it that has much
-weight is that it would he a departure
from the system established when the
government was for!nel. Then it i
thought better to entrust the choice of
sident to an el oral college, and
theory was thai the countrv would
more likely to be well served than
if our rulers were voted for bv the peo
pie direct. Hence in the selection of
Presidential electors cure was exercised
to nominate gentlemen of more than
ordinary intelligence and weight of
character, who would be better able to
judge of the qualifications ot candid. ties
fer the Presidency than the great DMM
of citizens. Tnis idea has now become
obsolete. Presidential e'cctois Lave
practicallv become QOiasaUfcee men to
receive ibe votes and place to- OS in the
ballot box. An elector who should
ercise his own will a:id discretion in
casting his vote tor Preside: and dis
regard the implied instructions under
which he acts, would be regarded as a
monster, and would be hooted at. But
to change the present feature of keep
ing up State lines and adj aaling tbe
Presidential rote by a:i apjiortioninen! .
measured by the Congressional delega
tion, may be thought to infringe against
State right. It would be a departure,
bat it is difficult to percrive any valid
objection in the way. The bottom
principle of the Government is i! it
derives its jowera from the popnlai
oonsent and that a majority moat rule.
This seems to Ve applicable to the
choice of national ruleis if to anything.
Nor ia there anv reason why one ei i -
sen's vote should be aifocted by that ut
any other, whsther a resident of one
State r another. Under the present
system the majority frequently does
not rule. Mr. Buchanan did not re
ceive a majority of the j-opular vote.
Nor did Mr. Lincoln at his first elec
tion. Mr. Hayes also came far sburt
of it. The same is probably true of
Mr. Garfield. These facta are certainly
worthy to be considered. If the pOfHfr-
lar will is entitled to rule iu theory, it
ought to in point of fact.

The Kaglish provincial (: . s is fc.iy-
that the ex-Premier u about to
silently transfer the c hief jsjst in tie
leadership of Ms party to the Marqtria
of Salisbury, his efficient cciieague in
the settlement of the Berlin treaty.
There ia '.j no formal resignation of
position, but under the weight of ad
vancing years, and the parsait of
long cherished literary taak. Lord Bea
consfield is rnxious to be relieved of the
hard work of active politics, in order to
hare more leisnre for other matters, ft
is also believed that Gladstone will
shortly be called to the House of Lords
place of rest md quiet in his old
His heaith bj in a condition that
:auses alarm to his tamiiy and friend.
The Marquis of Hartington will suc
ceed him in the trying and arduous
position of leader of the Hoeae of Com
mons. With Disraeli and Gladstone
no longer in actire politics there will
be a chance for the yosager men to
shew of what they are mad. None
of them, at present, give feigns of being
in any sense comparable with the two
aged st-tesmen soon to eek retireassnt.
' Old Fix-brake Widiani," wb i
now out of a j ;b in America, with siim

TO THE KEADEK. OF XSIE Ji.iH
In consequence of the unprecedented
flxd aud consequent high water the
mails have been completely "bottled
up" in the post offices for the past two
weeks, hence the past two issues of the
Democrat, sharing the fate of all VvVj
foot mail matter, has lain dormant in
the Albany post office and could not be
sent forward. Nobody is to blame for
this but the "dork of the weather,"
and as he seems to have a life "hit," we
suppose there is no use to ask Ha
te remove him especially since it has
been discovered that he is from Ohio !
Mas. W. J. Dyer, daugbter of Mr
Sam. A. Clarke, ol the Willamette Far
mer, died suddenly at her home in
"Walla Walla Last Monday. ' Minnie"
as she was so well and favorably
known in salem and Portland was a
bride of less than a year, and her death
will be sincerely mourned by a larjre
circle of Oregon friends. We tender
m the bereaved parents our most sincere
pympathy.
SiTTlxo Bull and his whole tribe
of treacherous reptiles have surrender,
ed to the government troops, and now
the demand for grub, blankets, scalping
knives and breach loading rifles for the
ext Bummer's campaign by the tribe
ill be enormous.

SbSQ the Presidential election the
iVmoeratie DMM as well as all recog
nized organisations of the party, have
made it a specialty to expose John
Kelly's treachery, and give him tho
"grand bounce." until now there is
none so poor within the j rty lines to!
do the great Tammany Sachem homage.
And this utter dethronement o( the
once jKwerful metropolitan politician
should teanh him and all other politi
cal manipulator! t wo important lessons.
Indeed these lessens might be taken
home to a few of our Oregon politicians,
and their moral applied with good
client, t ne lesson to be learned from
Kelly's fall is that in political, as iu all
other affairs, there is a law of retribu
tion which sooner or later wi'l assert
itself beyond possibility of escape
The other is that there is a point be
yond which the one man power cannot
gO. The Tammany leader in the pride
of his pewer undertook to dietau? to tho
Democracy of the nation !s standard
bearer four ears ago, but after exert
ing himselt to the utmost tie was tte
feated by the spirit of reform, which
was found embodied in the peMOa if
Gov. Titden. That defeat, however,
only nerved him to make a more des
pei ate ell. . which, unfortunately, was
tOO successful. When routed at St.
LOOM ho was w ise enough to keep in
;.ide the lines of the Democratic party,
not dajiog then to raise ojienly the
standard of rfolt. Bat, no' withstand
ing, a largo majority of the jssople had
unmistakably indicated a detormina
tion to ergraft into our nationality the
spirit of reform as its distinctive force,
and well knowing that it pointed to
Got. Tildeu as its exponent as well in
IsSO as ia 1 nml with oven more
potency, he set his machinery la me
tier, to s'.itle it through the ordinmy
.I.An.ld ..( MHAM .1 I t I hit t! A 1 , ,1;
in that he Stiack an open blow at it by
defeating Uov. Robinson Usf year,
whose oti.v l . i i 1 r mas lU.it no was a
friend of the reform candidate for the
Presidency, and whose reelection he
rightly jodfsd would generally be re
garded as a renewul of a detensiaatten
to repeat the poaalac verdict of lc7fi
Success then emboldeneii him for Strong
er efforts in the saai" direction, aud in
. ph, w i'.'u a power behind
him which was recOgBtsed by Um na
tional Deuiecracy us too poererfal to be
grappled with, he was enabled todivurt
the popalar mind from its projier pur
pose, end for a Usee bkhSt the Irenes in
spired of a national lefbffli ndministra
tion under Democrati; auspices. Now
swift retribution 1ms oeertahea him.
and th grave which he prepaied for
others . has swallowed him up. The
lesson is an instructive one fur all party
Alrttrira. and dcaervf-a to be Studied
not only by boame, bat by their blind
supporters.
Iaaaerslup ia politics, wkaa under
the guidance of patriotic parpoMf ; I
superior wUdom, skill aod exaoutivo
force, is not a thing to be deprecated.
When, however, SS is the case with ;
- il
Mr. Kelly, it uHSumea te act from the j
blind impulse of power and personal
prerogative it beoSBies a nui-'ance to le j
abated and a danger to le overthrown.
The caucus system was never designed
to become a piece of mechanium for
thwarting the public will, and when it
becomes such it loses its BsOredneai and
ban outgrown its usefulness. Wboa
used, as it has been in New Yark city,
merely to register the decrees of a siogle
dictator, it has no claim to popular re
gard either in action or uei tJaMBt. Its
design whs and is to represent the vir
tue and intelligence cf the peopbi, not
to crucify them. It is beginning to be
felt that loyalty to principle is a higher
duty than devotion to a mechanical
contrivance which is made te turn out
leaders abo have not other crrdentiala
than those which ate purely official.
The spirit ot uMlepeadaaee is abroad ia
he land and will not allow the one
man pow?r to rid iu triumph over the
necks of the jeople.
The Desaoeiatic j arty, as a rule,
makes no war on any organization with
in its line ; bat the fate of the proud
leader of Tammany should be a warn
ing to that organization and ail others,
that something beside capacity to lead
the blind multitude is needful in lead
sbip, and that it party organizations
prostitute their influence and opportu
nities, they as well as their favorites
will go by the board. The people, not
the machine, jaaat rule in this country,
and will. Jmperialtm has BO place in
American politic?, a'id ie-.-'St of all in
the Democratic party Whenever and
wherever it shows its head it desei res
a blow, and will be quite likely to get 1
it sooner or later.
