That the end justifies tho means seems tn have been taken fur granted by the democracy of the present age. Whenever there is any capital to he made cither to party or lo individ uals, whenever there is measure that promises success to be instigated llicro seems to be no lack of expedients. Sn that party designs may be ultimately successful tho intervening stages and processes that lead to ils accomplish ment are or no lurlher account than as they presago victory or defeat. If the former they are pursued with unrelenting pertinacity; if tho latter they are at once discarded. Success sanctifies all instrumentalities, and is pointed to for a justification of whatever cunduccs to ils attainment, A bare recurrence to several uromincnt tiassaucsnf ilpmiiTiiii..iioi..auiiti will scric to mako this fact apparent. Less than a dozen years since it seemed do-1 sirablo thai southern institutions always a j darling pet of tho modern democratic parly I should be strengthened by an addition to our territory. This desire could not bo accom-' plished without making war upon a weak sister republic. It was sometime before any sort of a pretext could be found. Hut democratic ingenuity, never at a loss for expedients, con trived a plan as fraudulent as it was efl'ectual. The United States government, then in tho hands of the democratic parly, stationed Ironps on our south-western border and in disputed territory, ostensibly for the protection of our frontiers, but really to harrass our neighbors into committing such aggressions as should by ingenuity be tortured inlo acts of war. The plan was successful. War was soon after wards declared to exist, and the dismember ment of .Mexico was im result. At the same time our claims, which were pronounced by ex ecutive authority to be "clear and unquestiona ble," to territory claimed also by the most pow erful nation on tho globe, were quietly relin quished. Fortunately through the energy of free statu emigrants the territory thus acquired proved a barren sceptre of power. The next movement of the democracy for tho benefit of Slavery was the opening of free ter ritory for its introduction. Under the specious guise of popular sovereignty, which is now construed by the highest democratic authority in the country to relato only to Slavery, the lime honored compact known as tho .Missouri 'Compromise and which guaranteed Freedom to an territory norm ol au degrees 30 minutes north latitude, was wantonly repealed, and Kansas, a prominent portion of that territory, left to fight her way against the administration, against Slavery, and against the democratic parly, into the Union as a Free Slate through every obstacle that I li is combined opposition could suggest. Slavery demanded the terri tory and every legal and constitutional barrier to its introduction must be and was removed Again: Slavery wanted Cuba. This "gem ot Hie Antilles" could only be obtained by con quost. Spain declined lepeated oiertures for its purchase. Ilenou some pretext must hi bought for a war tvilh that distracted nation, Her attempts to preverit tho boding of fillibus ters in Cuba were tortured into aggressions up on our commerce and would have made a biifli- cicnt occasion, had it not been for the attitude assumed by Lngland and Fiance, fur wrcslim? this coveted island from her possession. I These and other nolablo instances of the ready means the democrats have on hand for justifying their foray for the extension of Slav ery aro brought lo mind by an article in the Washington Union of Saturday in which the ac quisition of Central Ajnerica is discussed. Tho means adopted by Walker aro repudiated, but the project by another process is favored. It says : 'To ncnulic tho prhilcge of constructing railiiav, cnnnls anil romls ncross the Isthmus, to settle, legion ul country traversed by thco routes, with peaceful trndcitnen, farmers, tnechtmlc", etc., would seem tho only sure nml Infiillibks mode of planting our Institu tion pcimatiently in tlioo region". If, however, we must plant ntir Institutions in regions south of u. bv the strong nrin, let It bo by open and honorable hostil ity, conducted under (lie iiUMilcenndnuthority of the Got eminent. A' Ming can he ratter than to fnut ci mine if national owirrel with the Central American Ftatei ami Ihe ttpanit1! twcemmenl, f ire let about reel ing it. if, contrary to our niitlmml policy, we must iieed extend our institutions Miitlinunl bv force let It bo done by honorable tvnrf.ire, nnd not bv political foray." "Nothing can be easier than tu find a cause of national quarrel if wo set about seeking it!" Evidently not. Tho past history of the parly fully warrants this conclusion. Jlutihalacon- tesl thus begun, and waged for the purposo of seizing upon llio territory of a neighboring ataie, snouiti tie called "honorable warfare,'' passes the comprehension of all making any pieunsions to such moral distinctions as right unu wrong, i nat n is on a par with lliodem ocralio morality of (ho present day we w ill ad mit, it is out part arm parcel ol llio means used to disemmember Mexico, force Slavery upon Kansas, and annex Cuba. We have too much confidence in the moral sensnof otircoun ryincn to ibclicvothat such means will always be succcssiul. The Leoompton Swindle Doomed. The administration finds it an unliill work to forco llio Lccompton Constitution down the throats of the people of Kansas aeainst thei wishes. Its policy is condemned in various places where only tame submission was annre' bended ; and tho President Is receiving the must signincant Minis irom certain quarters where, if to any, he would naturally expect to look for fealty. Ho will bo quito likely to learn not only irom the example of his prodo cessor oui uy outer experience, although th knowlodge may come too late lor his own re utalion, thai a systematic attempt tn subvert the natural principles nrjustico and right will not ul way be successful even whero party leading strings aro drawn so tight as they aro by mod ern democratic organizations. Senator t'ugh of Ohio has been disposed lo sustain Ihc 1'icsidenl in his position on the ad mission of Kansas. Hut ho has lately received instructions which will make him hesitato be fore going the entire length of the doctrines contained in llio .Message.

Of what he deems it of vital consequence that should bo done may bo readily understood : " The Cos eminent are the municipalities of sover eignty which embrace especially the in.livi.lu.il per sons, the families, the households, the nlturs nnd the homes of our people. It Is that which makes State rights. State laws, Mate organization, State action, so precious, becuu-o so tlomalif, in oiirconfederacv. The I'edcni!

It is well sometimes to con trast great tilings with small. No one will ac cuse Gov. Wise of being an Abololiuuist. He is as ready tn defend tho interests of Slavery at any and all tunes as any oilier man in the country. Compateor ralhcr contrast his course with that of curtain men in this region who were original opponents of the Kansas Nebras ka bill and were only whipped inlo its suppnil by " bread and butter" appliances, but who no a aro attempting to read out uf the party Douglas and such olhcr democrats as will not say amen to llio sw indlo attempted lo be per pctraled upon tho settlers of Kansas.

TnwKSHEMi To tht VJUorof the Vhmix t The article over the signature of "A citizen of l'owntliend,' published In the Phicnlxof Jan. 2nd, contains so much falsehood and so little troth, and attributes such un worthy motives to the authorities of Townshend in Ihe prosecution therein lefcredto, that justice to the authorities, especially to tho undersigned, who ns gratm juror or the town, Instituted the complaint against Mr. Hull, demands a brief statement of tho facts nnd tho name of tho author of the publication. It is proper to concede that about twelve o'clock at noon, on Friday, tho 23d day of January f tho severest day of last winter, Mr. llnll, with his servant, under took to drive two loaded teams from Jamnlcit to East Townshend. He wns set several limes on Ids way, both In Jamaica and Townshend but with the uld of people on the road and cxlra teams, ho made his way through the siiowwhleli was badly drilled, ton point less than two miles below West Townshend and litllo ivcr six miles from Jamaica, where ho started) when, darkness having overtaken him, one of Ids loads gut oft of the travelled path and wns again fast. Ilrro, he wns obliged to unhitch Ids horses nnd leave olio load till morning. For this ho did sue the town and the undersigned, as town agent, in concirt with tho select men titidertook a defence. Of tho merits of that controversy I havo nothing to say, it was decided by a legal tribunal iu the town of Jamaica whero Mr. II. resides. It Is also proper to concede tliat Hall hod sued for ten dollars only, the recovery of w liieh with an equal amount of costs did not compensate him for the expenses of two lengthy and warmly contested jury trials. As tho ad damnum wns but ten dollars thero was no appeal. So far tho article, referred to, has tho semblance of truth. It Is also true that llnll has for several years been engaged in freighting between Jamaica nnd ISrattlcboro. Iu this business he hns employed teams of from two to eight horse, usually driving one team of six. And for years ho had driven hi teams quite regularly through Townshend on the Sabbath, both upon his downward and upward trips, often greatly annoying people who were passing to nud from church; and had been accustomed to load and unload freight in the village nnd to bate his teams at mid-day. For this, almost constant desecration of the Sabbath, and long continued dUrepird of the feelings of Its consci entious observers, he had been threatened with pros ecution long before bis ult against the town; and re peatedly wirnel afterwards. Ho wns informed by me that unles he refotmed his habit of pursuing his business legutailv, upon the Sabbath it would be tin possible to avoid it prosecution. For a short time dur ing the foie part of hist summer, be wasmn'ro careful, nud there were several Sabbaths on w hich hi team did not pass tlmoiigh town, unless it may have been early In the morning or at evening. Soon, however, he relapsed into his fonncr habit and complaint came to me from dltlcrent soyrccs, which I declined to no tice, officially, u'ually urging us uti excuse, that lu consequence of Ihc position 1 Ind occupied hi reference to the suit against the town, n complaint might be con strued, by some, us a retaliatory measure. For this many of our peoplo complained that my Inaction wn a disregard if their laudable wishes and n violation of my official duty. A petition was, final ly, piesentedto me, in writing, from more than thirty highly respectable citizens, requesting me to cause tt prosecution lobe instituted; und 1 was compelled though, for the reason before stated, reluctantly to comply with the request. No one of the town author Hies, signed said petition, nor did any one of tiieui or any other person who took any active part in defend ing the suit ag-iinst the town ever request or recom mend to me a prosecution : and the-e tacts w ere made known to Mr. Hall. Ihc complaint set forth three dlstiret offenses, upon three consecutive Sabbaths. To this complaint he plende.1 guilty and was fined by justice Shaffer five dollars and costs. As the line fr each offence Is but 52 to the extent, nnd tin- tatute j of limitation requnes the protcutiou to he eomniene-, ed within thirty days, from the time the off'er.re is committed, it will readily be seen that the town could not hope to get any of "their money back" iu this way. Whatever may h ive been my personal opinion as to the expediency of the prosecution, I hate uo hes itation In idiinuitig that I cannot well conceive of a case where the law ngtitift nhlmtli deseenitiou could , Inoro pnipnety be enforced. Injustice to tin nuthonties of lowuhend, and especially to myself, I I request you to pubh'h the foregoing facts, together with the name of the author who had tho temerity to publish o gross h hl.el: al-o of the person who caus ed the publication onhe "paragraph entitled Sabbath ireaklug." If he be a ritissn of Town.liend, the .- ph of Townshend would like to know it. At present I can not believe that the man who ipied his pen in j the senttd.il that Itcdiiubed the manuscript lives much nearer Townshend than the residence of the the "gen tleman of high respectability' whose character he, so unfortunately attempted tu vindicate.

A lesson to rum drinkeis ! As a joung gentleman with two ladies, all of St. Johnsbury, were returning from llarnet, the shafts of the sleigh became detached and the horse un manageable; consequently the party, horse aud all, were precipitated down a thirty ftet embankment, but happily without serious injury. The commission of which George P.
