If there l any one thing above another which the editor of the Oitgonian delight to do, It li that oi discrediting tho worth and merit of the Inllucuce of dead demo crats. H! chlcfest pleasure Is in making scarfdalous atUciis upon some leading democrat at the Instant oi hit death and before his remains are laid away to molder back to their kindred dust. But as these opportunities do not present themselves as rapidly as the insatiate and ghoulish appe- tite of the Orrjouian editor demands, becomes necessary for him to stalk abroad among the sepulchers of a century ago and there dig deep for the ashes of some hated democrat upon which to vent his spirit of hate. So it Is not surprising that Jeflerson should be made a victim. The editor says: "Jefferson rendered the country a good deal ot real service, and did It nn lnnnite deal of harm. His merit as author of the declaration of Independence has been much exrgeratcd. All that Is striking In the dcument was "conveyed by Jet ferson from a declaration issued at iCleck- lenburff. N. C, some lime before. The voice of the colonies would have found ex presMon had Jefferson not existed, and very probably in clearer style and better jorm. It is a well-authenticated historical fact that Jefferson was the autkwr of the Dec laration of Independence, though federalists and those who wanted and continue to want to set up a strong government modeled after the form of that of Great Britain have attempted to deny it. Those who favor a centralized government have always antagonized Jefferson and the great principles of constitutional liberty as ex pounded by him. These centralizationists want a centralized government in order that they may divest the people of their right to regulate their own domestic affairs In their own way. For this reason they seek to discredit Jefferson. The O'cgonian would deprive Jefferson of the credit due him as author of the declaration of inde pendence by saying that "the voice of the colonies would have found expression had Jefferson not existed and very probably in clearer style and better form." This is nonsense. Just as well attempt to snatch the laurels from Washington by saying that had he not lived the liberties of the American colonies would have as certain ly been secured. The "style and form" of the declaration was such as to suit the sentiments and tastes of a liberty seeking people who were then making ready to pour their life blood in the great cause of resistance to tyrants then impending. It was not a matter of concern to Jefferson whether the "style and form" of the dec laration suited the royal tastes of federal ists or not. They were not regarded as other than half -hearted friends of the suc cess of that revolution that was to be the beginning of the scheme to cstabish the eqality of men, in the establishment of government of the people, by the people and for the people. And when the con stitution was formed he believed that through it came to congress all the powers which it might lawfully exercise, fie believed that the constitution was made to be observed under a strict construction. He believed, (and no one has even been able to prove otherwise,) that congress can exercise no power except that that is del egated to it by the slates through the medium of a written constitution. This is a great caidinal principle of represen tative government, the essential and chief prep of a free governmet. The real Jifference between the doctrines of Jefferson and Hamilton was, and is that the former believed that the government should be in the hands of the masses of the people while the latter would have made a government of aristocrats. Jeffer. son believed thut their was a vast differ ence between the liowe1' exercised by the people through Ihe state governments and that exercised by congress. That exercised by the stale is inherent, original power, while that exercised by congress i dele gated power. A strict construction of the constitution will a'onc dertermlne the line of demarkaiion between these powers. Hamilton was a liberal constructionist. He believed that under the general "wel fare clause' congress migh assume to ex ercise powers not delegated, A'c can now see to what these assumption lead. Where Hamilton imposed tariff duties of 5 to 10 per cent, llic modern federalists have raided ihcm 10 50 and I03 per cent, nn.l more. until the f.wored classes arc rich enough to huY j elections and own hu'h 111. legislature and the j executive. ICven the meat besotted fcdeirdi-i I members of the first, sccon-l and third con- 1 grosses wouid have been startled if they could j have foreseen that, fei'.owing and lettering ' their instruction, the fifty-first congress ttoul-1 a brief century later, appropriate a roun.l bill on of dollars hum the jKickets of the people, already depleted by .the payment of at leas' nn equal sum during the same period, direc'.ly to the protected" monopolies. Such arc the nalura1 and necessary fiui's ol federalism of loose construction that is, o givirgthe administration its own head, instead of requiring it to follow the letter of the charier. None nf those execssts is possible un ler the JelTersonian system. The government can take nothing by taxaiion hut that v.-l.ich is ah solutelylnecessary to its economical adminis tration. It has no right to levy upon the j earnings or the arcumula ions of one r.ss for j the benefit of another. It can nj'jTorriate j public money only to the oljjcts sp-rilitd in 1 the constitution. They being few and inx- pensive the expenditures arc necessarily voiy light, Economy, frugality, simplicity, oltiiciaj In the Khode Island election held last wet! Davis, the democratic candidate for governor, received 22,249 votes, l.aild the republican 20,995, Larry prohibitionist 1828 and llurton nationalist 3S4 . In that state an actual ma jorlty over all candidates is necessary to elect. The election of governor and other sttte officer, will now devolve upon the legislature. The legislature will be largely republican. The state is so "cer-vmaniletcit lor members 01 the legislature that it is almost impossible for the democrats to carry that body, notwithstaud ing they might have a large plurality on their state ticket. As an example: Twenty-three republican towns, with a population of 90, 9S3 have 23 senators. Thirteen democratic towns with a population ol 253,124 hare 13 sen ators.One republican senator under this gerry mander for every 3.955 persons and one dem ocratic tenator for cveiy 19,471 . What a pity some scheme might not be adopted whereby this deviltry of jerrymandering might be crush- rd out whether practiced by democoats or re publicans of which each seems lobe equally guilty.
