Tony DEMocRAcY.-We have no where
seen bolder or more faithful sketch of the
Democracy of the present administration
than the following, by Senator Tallmadge,
Of New York, in his speech on Mr.. Wrighps
proposition to give to the President unImlt-
ed control over the public money:


''God deliver me from such Democracy!
A democracy which concentrates all power
in the hands ofone man-democracy which
subjects the opinions and actions of party
followers TO his will, and to his will alone
democracy which makes the great and
paramount interests of the country subser-
Went to the low and grovelling pursuits OF
party-a democracy which permits no ae-
ton on any question however urgent the me-
cessity may be, without orders from head
quarters-a democracy that appeals to the
passions and prejudices of the people, IN
stead Of enlightening their judgments, and
relying upon their reason and their patriot
sm-a democracy which attempts to set up
one class of the community against the 9TH
er, as if their interests were not recIprocaI
and identical-a democracy which denlesto
every man the right to think and act for him
self on those great questions in which the
vital interests of the country are so deeply
inyoved-a democracy which attempts by
party drill or party discipline, to subvert the
very spirit of the Costitution, to substitute
Executive Tor Legislative power, to subject
the will ofthe Representative to the Will OF
Executive, TO compel him to act contrary 10
his own opinions, against his own Judgment
in violation of his own conscience, and In
open defiance ofthe expressed will and wish
es of his constituents democracy which
extends its influence from the General Go
yernment to the respective States; which
swallows up the reserved rights of the States
in the consideration Of the central power
a democracy, in short, which establishes In
the heart of the country the most perfect
despoism under the delusVe forms OF Tree
institutions.


Yes, Mr.. President, such is the democra-
cy of this federal administratlon--an ad-
minstraton that has adopted the ultra fed
eralism of ''the reign Of terror" and now
charges upon its former friends, the sins OF
its own commission. Sir, the people OF the
United States cannot be deceived by those
vain and hollow pretences. Democracy,
like monarchy, will be known by its fruits
The bitter fruits of this administration have
already ripened sufficiently TO Indicate the
tree on which they grew-and the people
have long since tasted enough to enable
them, like our first parents, to distinguish
between good and evil. Sir, the contest
which is waRing, is to determine the future
character of our Government.


The following definition ofa Loafer 10
from the Ne0 York Mirror


ga loafer, is the personiiOation of philos-
ophy. He has no vanity to be ruffled by
the sight of anoiher's success. He has no
dignity to maintain, which costs him trouble
and money. He finds himself in the world,
and he let's it wag, keeping just in that sta
ton where he began. He cares not to get
higher, and he cannot go lower. Other
men pass half their time in little troubles
that are beneath the dignity of man. The
dandy is annoyed because his coat does
not fit. If large he wraps lit the tighter;
If small he squeezes his limbs into it the
harder. He has no fashions to study; no
fasiidious acquaintances to outshne. The
law of the loafer is the law of nature"


Fighting the Indians in Florida, (says tho
Baltimore Chronicle, } after all, is not so bad
business, at least for the militia. In Mr..
Bronson's speech on the increase of the ar
nv, he gave the following items as part of
Quarler-Master's certified report Of expen-
ses incurred by corps of Alabama militia
in the service of Uncle Sam. Just think of
the militia officers fighting the Indians with
half-a-dozen Cologne Water and Segars at
1924 thousand. We consider this bill as
one Of the queerest curiosities of the day.
The Cologne Water, particularly, is some
thing that would have nightly tickled Daniel
Boon.
