THE WHO VIEW OF THE LATE SESSION OF con


DRESS.


The BALTndoRE AMERICAN Of Thursday last con.
tains an article reviewing the prominent Of
the administration thus far, the burden Of which
seems TO be that the democratic party are afraid to
follow out their own doings, or to look their own
principles in the face" and that in fact the recent
measures adopted by Congress are wholly unae-
eounable. BY way of explaining, however, what
II finds to be inexplcable, the American after re-
domestic policy Of the administration comes to the
conclusion that the mystery of the whole matter
may be cleared up, and the course Of the govern
ment accounted for, on the principle Of social and
sectional prejudice !" This is the very latest whig
theory Of democratic action. But we will let the
American" sp ,ak for itself:


at is not TO be supposed, however, that any gov
eminent can deliberat ly propose destructive
ures and cooy pursue them for the mere purpose Of
nhIcung injury. We 10 look 10 social and section.
al prsudiess, upon Whieh modern democracy Is based
for explanation Of the course pheh democratic ad-
ninisiTaiiOn plusues The protective tariff is de-
nounced system for the benefit Of capitalists;
the laborer Is told that rich men grow richer upon
the fruits OF his industry; and inaamed with jea-
lousy, he Is urged TO beggar himself that he may
bring his employer TO poverty. In like manner
banks held up to odum as the fortresses Of mo-
nopoly, as the strong-holds of moneyed men who
prey upon the earnings of the laboring community
The government, TO show its detestation of these
institutions, must have nothing to do with them,
and hence comes the sub-treasury. The offspring
OF blind and aggravated preludces, how can it pos
sess any principles or features IN harmony with true
financial policy But beyond the passions and pre-
JUDGES of the day, the leaders of the latest born de-
mocracy do not seem to look. The rage for terrific
rial extension must be grati6ed by a war; the iea.
louses of labor against capital must PROSTATE the
interests of both labor and capital in one common
rum; the sensItiyeness Of democratic antlpathy
against corporations gives rise 10 the subtreasury.
Thus far we have gone; but the end is not yet"


The "social preudices" here referred to as the
basis of modern democracy, will be found upon ex-
animation, we think, TO be not altogether unreason-
able. The very prejudice" for example, which is
cited by the American" as "denouncing" the "pro-
tectve tariff of ls42, is prejudice" against pay
ing more than thirty dollars for the right 10 buy in the
.3mericau market hundred dollars north Of British
or French or German goods! We opine that the
american" and its kindred presses will find this
prejudice" to be somewhat obstinate and deep
rooted. We incline, also to the opinion that this
same "prejudice," when put to the question, will
find something-and something not very unreason-
.LI III
not be Surprised even to discover that the principles
which such prejudice" may invoke in its favor
do in fact constitute, as the American says, part
at least, of the "basis of modern democracy" In
so far as this shall be the case moreover, we appe
hend that the "modern democracy" will not suffer
by comparison this point with the best democ-
racy of the elder days of our republic.


Again, the sub-treasury "prejudice," of which
the American speaks, has come to be, we appre-
hend, somewhat inveerate. 1t is prejudice against
allowing the banks to trade upon the public money,
and issue for circulation their paper promises to pay
about three dollars for every which the govern
ment deposites in their vaults. If the American will
look this whole matter calmly over, VIC doubt
whether it will find the "prejudice'' against such
u
ful or very irrational. The experience which
our government and people have heretofore, from
time to time, {and much more since the expert
ment was proposed in 1872 had of banks
both great and small, has most decidedly tended
to "aggravate" this "prejudce" And it has come
at last to be so very aggravated" that the people
have resolved that it shall take the form of statute
be Ulab kpn 4, A.
American concludes that this constitutional treasury
"prejudice," and the prejudice" against the tariff
of l842, "cannot stand"


"The rage for territorial extension" is, in the view
of the American, another Of these same democratic
"prejudlces." This "rage" has manifested itself
thus far in our day, in the admission of Texas into
our Union. Considering the manner in which this
act has been donc-a manner which we think the
American itself will allow to be very peaceable and
orderly--and seeing, too the part which the Texan
people, Of their own motion, took in il, we appre-
hend that this prejudice" will not be found to be
very censurable principle of party organization or
action. II it be "rage," Madness there is at least
"method in it." At any rate for a "prejudice," )" it
is fast obtaining pretty general currency and adop-
ton. When the American would seek ground of
complaint against the democratic party, or against
democratic administration, it must find other cause
than that involved in the "preudices" which it now
sees fit to denounce.


But the democratic party, in the judgment of the
American, fears to "look its own measures in the
face" Not so. The democratic party, when Con-
gress came together, found the Oregon question
upon its hands to settle. And though the wings in.
terered in the business, and partially marred it, still
the democratic party did its work. and the Oregon
question is settled Again, at the meeting Of Con.
gress the democratic party found our relations with
Mexico, which had been growing worse and worse
for years, to have come at last to a condition mper.
atively demanding prompt and satisfactory adjust
ment The democratic administration has shown,
in spite Of the Americans assertion to the contrary,
all the nerve requisite to look That issue very fully
in the facet and Mexican relations are, at this
very moment, in process of adjustment by the only
method in which the folly and madness Of Mexico
has permitted them to be adjusted. Again, at the
