More Democracy!

vvo liKe an open ana nonesi naversay, who is not afraid to say what he . hinks, without resorting to mean and ] angible insinuations. We occasionally , neet with such a character. The , ;on Patriot, an organ ofDemocracy (!) is , )f tliis class. It is the most shnmelessly ( iroslavery of any print in the State that )rofesses to advocate "Equal Right." , Fhe Livingston Courier might dispute the alm of servility, were its ability at all jqual to its disposition. Whereas the ïditor of the Patriot is a writer of some Torce and vigor. In a late number, after ipologizing for mobs in general, and exlorting "every citizen" to be "extremely sautious hovr he outrages propriety," lest ie bring a mol) upon himself, he Iets Jrive at C. M. Clay and northern aboli:ionists as follows: "It appears that the p eople of Lexington had quietly permitted Mr. Clay to ïstablish bis paper in the ir midst- liad exbibiled no dïsapproval of it; and showed no disposition to do so while he adhered to fairmanly discussion. But when he outraged every principie that ought to govirn free discussion - admitted the inflnmnatory nnd dnngerous arliclesinlo his paier - and even encournged violence - and ill this among a slave populntion already educed from duty by the infernal acts of aw-defying abolitionists, it is not to be vonderedthat hot-southern blood took fire. Fhe only wonder is that they treated ülay with so much lenity - that they resected his person and property. We have no patience with these north;rn abolitionists. They openly and boastngly disregard such law as is inconsist;nt with thcir peculiar views; and if in heir headlong law-breaking cnreer thoy ire oertaken with quick justice at the lands of an outraged people, they com)lain of mobocracy and lawlessness. We vould infinitely prefer the stigma of being i mobocrat to the merited charge of béng guilty of stealingourneighbor's horsïs, or cnttle, or what is not different in Kentucky, his slaves. The northern abJÜtionist boasts of stealing the southern lave - and yet we hear him talk about law!"ji luuKs ruiuer uupeiess ;o iry 10 mane ny thing decent out of a Democrat who ; an see no diflerence bet ween horses, ) eandslaves, butweshall not give him ( p in despair. We must admit, however, ïat he is a dull scholar in learning the pelling book of human rights. j me since he accused Abolitionists of ' stealing slaves." We challenged him produce a solitary instance of the rime on their pnrt. They help persons ' orn free and equal to the possession of jiberty. But we cited him to a crime I 'ar greatcr, although perpetrated by such ! len as Polk, Calhoun and Jackson, whom ie delights to eulogize: ikcy steal little ielpless infants, bom free, according to )emocracy, and hold them as slaves for ifef We proposed the inquiry te him rhether the crime of making a free man nto a slave were not far greater than ma:ing a slave into a free man? But we .lso desired his opinión whether a Denocratic editor in a free State, who vould voluntarily make himself into a serile defender of slavery did not act a part ■leaner still? Not having received any nswer from him, we presume he is still ogitating upon the matter.Jot a single Democratie paper, so far 3 we know has spoken out in a manly ad decided tone in behalf of the freedom S f the press, so shamelessly trodden down i Lexington. On the contrary, most of ïem, directly or indirectly, justify the 10b, like this Patriot, and denounce C. I. Clay and the Abolitionists; and were ïey equally honest, they would doubtless eelnre, with the editor of the Patriot.that v ïey had rather be Mobocrats than r onists - destro)ers of property rather mn liberatorsof men. There isno l] utingabout preferences. Each will - tin his own; and our only object in wring this article is to exhibit a specimen s f the kind of feeling andsentiment which revail in whal is called the Democratie r ïrty. It is the defender of Mobocracy s nd Slavery! a e05o" The Syracuse Star contains the rocedings of a Convention of the colored itizens of New York in that place. The principal object was to take h res for obtaining the righ. of equal ii age. At present no colored man can il ote in New York unless possessed of C 250 in real estáte. Thus the number b f voters of this class is few, whereas o ïthout any property qualification, the vi robable number of colored voters has been p stimated at 15,000.
