n One Of the writer's Of editorials in the Mad
isonan undertook in a long, prosy, abstract arti-s
Gle Of "Wednesday, to give the world a history Of
the rise and progress ef Federalism and Democ-
racy. His account Of the origin Of the Federal
party is extremely erroneous, and shows that
he cannot be very tamilier with the early history
Of parties in this country. The subject, however.
is not one upon which we choose to enter into a
controversy now, and therefore let it pass. The
writer says, however, that there are two kinds
of Democracy now in this country, the old and
the new, the genuine and the spurious, and pro-
fess to have put ear-marks upon them, so that
no man may hereafter plead ignorance for pos
sessing, with intent to pass it off, the counterfeit


According to his "ear-marksp the Democracy Of
Mr.. Van Buren, Benton, and even that Of Gen.
Jackson, is the new Or spurious kind, while that
Of John Tyler is the genuine article! The gem
uine Democracy. he says, sis kind which
would be willing to encounter the frowns Of a
majority, Or Of . triumphant party" We are
inclined to think, then, that there is very little
Of the (" raal ginewine' to be found in these
parts" p+ss st9iAa4 stga a4s FisiA

Mr.. Burritt, the learned blacksmith, IS ser-a
,ously engaged in attempting 10 make discoveries
in the moon, by means of mesmerisrns or clair
voyance TO which end he proposes to employ
three subjects in different places to make obser-
vations, and note them down for future compar-
ison. He says he hasin his possession the state,
ment Of a lad in the clairvoyant state who 'vis-
ted the moon and went into building resembling
a school-house, found a book which he was una
bic to read, but at the request Of the magnetizer
he copied off tWenty-eight well-formed charac-
tiers. AT a subsequent visit he saw things better,
and took drawings OF amonument and metallic
horn.g Upon the monument was an inscription
written in the very characters which the boy
found in the book, all Of which he had received
to compare with the Oriental languages. Ken

This will be sad intelligence for the manufac-
turers Of telescopes, for if little boys can in a
clairvoyant state visit I" the man in the moon,"
and peep into all the hooks and corners Of that
dwelling which he has heretofore occupied /. soi-
tary and alone" we cannot see why they may
not take another flight, visit the planets and fixed
stars, 60 from world to world, and from system
to system, and tell us what they are, whether
inhabited, and by what kind of beings; and, in
short, satisfy that longing curiosity which seeks
to penetrate that deep profound Of mystery which
makes us feel our nothingness The idea of thus
discovering what a bene6cent Deity has in his
wisdom thought proper thus far to place beyond
our reach, though absurd, is perhaps not proper
one 10 be treated with ridicule. GN3
