Special Correspondence of Intelligencer, Washington, D. C., Nov. 22, 1008. The commente of leading Democrats hereon the recent high-handed man ner of the Republican administration in dealinp with the new defacto re public of Panama, and its actions prior co the so-called revolution on the Isth mue, are in thc nature of bitter denun ciations of the outrage perpetrated on a friendly nation. Tney claim that Roosevelt has outraged all precedent and placed a bloc on the fair namo of chis nation for dealing wi iii its contem poraries in a fair and just manner. That IB but aaotber step in die im perial policy. That the gume he is playing is tbat "might makes rigbt," ana chut he is doing all tbis simply to play into the hands of the gang who will prolitby the increase in the price of the bonds of the Panama Canal Com - Eany when a treaty with the new opera outfe republic ia ratified by the Seuate and by tho powers governing Che seces sion republic of Panama. When contrasted with past prece dents in connection witb thy recogni tion of new republics, tho actions of the Roosevelt administration uro un outrageous overturning ot them all and ah indorsement ot secession and an indecent slap in the face of a weak sister nation. In 183(1, President Jack son refused to recognize the new re public of Texas, and said that it was important that we observe a couran " wisely consistent witb our j nat prin ciples. President Grant refused co recognize che republic of Cuba and so did President McKinley? and there were many more reasons why that re public should have been recognized chan the new mushroom republio of Panama. In speaking of Cuba and his reasons for not granting recogni tion of its independence at chat Cime, President McKinley said : "In dealing with cases like these che f urCher con dition .impones itself that recognition of independent statehood is not due to a revolted dependency until the danger of its being again subjugated by Cbe parent stace has entirely passed away." Does any sane mau believe that Colombia could not quickly have subjugated Panama if there had not been. United otates war vessels piesent to interfere with the action of che Co lombian forces and warn them to keep hands oft'? What did we think of the attempt of England to recognize the Confederacy in 1801T We warned her to keep hands off, and she did so. The whole truth, as believed here by those best informed on tbis subject, is that thiB revolt was planned overnight in the City of New York and carried oat by American guns, and at the in stigation and connivance of this coun try, every move of which was known in advance by this Republican administra tion. Every move and every step proves "bis or it proven nothing. The French stock operator and speculator who pretends to represent the new republic of Panama at chis Capitol, way receiv ed by President Roosevelt.with a great show of spectacular ceremony, and Che new republio duly recognized by the United Staten as one of che nations of the earth. Ue declares Che Panama raid represented tho "unopposed will of tho people of Panama," but what of Colombia, which was the parent State? It had proposed an expedici?n to sup press the revolt such as General Scott started to Charleston in 1861, under Jiojor Anderson, but our President of the day took sides with the secession ists iu Panama and ordered our naval forces to resist the landing of any force coat oat by the republic of Colombia in the execution of ita constitutional duty to maintain the unity of the South Americas republic. Decs set this strike clunking Americans who boast a well-regulated conscience as anauda-l cioua performance, resting on unbri dled powers and at war with every re cognized principle of rightful Ameri can conduct? We trampled on the weak, declared secession to be right ful, and prometed its success, is it not a shameful episode in our national history! To whom does does disgrace and dishonor attach? Let the people answer the question. Tho whole milk in the cocoanut of this disgraceful proceeding came out to-day when it was announced in the New York press that . the firm of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. had been made the fiscal agenta of the hew republio of Panama in chis country. That means that chis firm of "Captains of finance" will finance the new republio and get the rake-off, That accounts for the fact that the New York Sue, which has been hitherto bitterly antagonistic to Roosevelt, has come ont r.nd endorsed the action of che administration in gar roting And robbing the vopublic of Co lombia. That paper is owned and eon trolled by Mr. Morgan. It also shows that all the talk about WaR Street and the Morgan interests hoing opposed to Roosevelt will no louger'go down the throats of a hitherto over-credulous public. They ar? all together now in one happy band of commercial free booters and fiashi Basonke, and it is singularly unfortunate that Senator Gorman's leadership io the Senate has tailed completely to get the Democrats in that body to refuse absolutely to have fury thing to do with the new opera bouffe republio and defeat any treaty)that may come before ic for rati fication. The man who votes in the Senate to ratify a treaty with this Roosevelt-made republic will-find him self confronted with the charge.of en dorsing a dishonorable action. It is generally conceded that the Democrats most carry the States -of New Yo:k sad New Jersey in the next presidential election ia order to win. Conceding that thoaa twn ?tates ire absolutely necessary for D?mocratie success next year, it may be interest ing'for the Democrats oz the country to know the land of Democracy that must control in the State of New Jer sey next year if we would win that State. An illustration drawn from the last Congreaaioual election in that State lest year will suffice to give them thia information. In one of the Congres sional districts that was Democratic tho Democrat) i nominated a man nam ed Do Witt Clinton Flanagan,* man of wealth, refinement, culture and social distinction. Ho represented only thoa? things that Republicano .like and of which they are not afraid. He waa ndorsod by Grover Cleveland, who lives iu his district, and who made a speech for him, the first he had made aluce his retirement from the presi dency. Notwithstanding all thia and tho farther fact that Mr* Flanagan spent large sums of money, he was de feated. On the other hand in another dis trict .that waa normally Republican by About 4,000 majority, aud in which the Republicans nominated the millionaire thread manufacturer, Barbour, and in which tba Democratic nomination went begging, the Democrat? won a splendid victory. After the nomina tion in this district had been declined by a number of Democrats, a young Democrat named William Hugues, a lawyer withont money, but with char acter and brains and real Democracy, accepted tho nomination asa matter of party honor. Ho announced from the beginning of the campaign that he had no money with which to buy vote?, and said he did no t want a vote that had to be purchased. He also said tbi?" if he were elected it would mean a real Democratic triumph and a slap in the face ol monopoly and trust do mination and tho rule of tho predatory rich. He rouudly denounced all thoso things from start to liuish of tho cam paign, and tho result was that ho WUB elected by the honest men of tho dis trict by 3,900 . majority, a change of 8,000 votes in tho district.

There are two or three out for liquor oommisainer, the office now held by Mr. Cram, and every legislator has, no doubt, already been canvassed by the oan didates. - There have been so many speoial toi ns of court ordered this year that the. eivil contingent fund, out of whioh the judges are paid, has about been exhausted, and three or four who have already presided mi speoial terms will have *.o wait for the legislature to make an appropriation in order to get their pay. The amount of the fond ia $2,500 and not $100 of that amount romaine, and while some who have already served have not been paid, there are several counties whioh yet want special terms. These speoial judges get $10 a day while holding court, and are allowed the same com pensation for five days after the ad journment of court in whioh to write decrees. Only about three, however, have gotten this extra compensation. All of .this will undoubtedly bring up the question of increasing' the cir cuits or lengthening the term of pres ent court*, when the.next legislature assemble! i.
