It is the peouliar characteristic of modern
Democracy that it derideB the principles of
Thomas Jefferson, repudiuten the old doc
trine of democratic equality, and laughs at
the idea of human rights "set forth in the
Declaration of Independence. We never
expected to see the time when a paper,'
wearing the garb of democracy, would
publish such a paragraph as the following,
which we have cut out of the Advocate of
this we^k. We do not wonder that a
party which I.as the people in such contempt
should withhold protection from the natu
ralized citixen. But lot us hear the Advo
eate:
"COULDH'T HOUD IN.—Mr.
Dennison open­
ed the campuign in a speech at Granville on
Wednesday. The occasion was a celebra
tion at th«* Feinule Acndeniy, when a toast to
whioh Mr. D. WHK called on to respond, drew
fr him a chaptur on 'iiUw-'u
ur
oreatod
free and equal."'
God forbid that suoh a Chapter' should
ever be out of place in the land whioh pro
duced Hancock, Adams, Washington and
Jefferson.—[Newark (O.) American.
