for the rights of the people.
Stale treaaurer, James W. Tate,
of Kentucky, has suddenly dis
appeared, leaving a shortage in
his accounts of nearly a half mil
lion dollars. It is reported, how-

W hither are we Drift lug.
Previous to I860, when the
Southern Stales seceded from llie
Union, a strict construction of the
federal constitution, was the prin
cipal article in the creed of the
Democratic parly. No proposed
measure that did not tall wiilnn
the limits of this fundamental
idea, could become n law withoui
encountering .the determined le
-dalaure of the great leaders ol
his party of the people. Protrc
tive tariffs, schemes of internal
improvements, and other like
propositions were vigorously as
sailed, because there could not lie
found in the compact of Union,
•my express provision for such
measures. It would have lieen
well for our country, if the party
which cherished this sacred re
gard for the constitution, could
always hare controlled ita desli
nies. But such has not been the
case. A party utterly without
principles, and inspired by a fan
atical sentimentality, was organ
