Il is against such combination that
the Democratic party is called upon toact.
the cause in which il is engaged is the
p1rest and hottest ever advocated by man.
10 present steady hostility to the in
crease and the peryersion Of power--to
stem the torrent of abuses that are max
ing fearful inroads into the pristine sim
plicity of republican institutions--to check
The progress of irresponsible corporations
which spring up with unparalleled rapidity,
exercising uncomfortable power and taini :
ine the moral sense Of the people by their
telnicious principles--to oppose the esta-
bIishment of centre of despotism, mis-
csIled National Bank, that would en-
pioy power, the incalculable effects OF
which are even now felt in the continued
suspension Of specie payments, the term Of
which will depend entirely upon the SUI
preme pleasure of single individual--to
separate the Government beyond the pos
sibility of reunion from all connection
with banking institutions--to labor inde-
fatigabIv and unremittingly in intoxicating
the doctrines of the Jeffersonian school,
by the strict observance of which re-
publican form Of Government may be pre-
served uncontaminated by the vices which
pollute the Constitutions Of other coun-
tries, and deprived as far as practicable,
6f the tendency to consolidation on the
hand or anarchy on the other-these con-
stitute the high and sacred duties of one
Democracy of our country. The energies
of people were never employed in no.
BILE cause. It stands conspicuously forth
asa contest of principle against interest,
Ofpatriotism against usurpation, of dlsln-
terested attachment to our Government,
and an earnest desire to place our instr
tutions beyond the pale of possible corrup-
ton, against struggle for a political and
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, of honesty ofin'
tention against intrigue and selishness, in
fine, of zeal and love of country, unsus.
tanned by wealth or influence, against am.
bition, ayarce, the efforts of a mighty fac.
ton holding as it we're the keys of the
Treasury, and forming an unbroken pha'
lanx determined to march to power ever
though its course should be over the ruin:
of the country.
AT such conluncture and with such
obstacles to encounter, the Democracy
must feel that this is no period to falter Of
hesitate. The present Administration un
der the auspices of the patriot and states
man who conducts it, lends its utmost aiC
to the furtherance of the great objects o.
this momentous struggle--it relies for eff
fcient cooperation and final triumph uPor
the people. Without their ardent and un
shrinking support, the government vii
not be enabled to carry into operation III
salutary and excellent designs. The volc'
that cries for reform must emanate iron
the people, and they must resolve to unit
action to language, and to contend to tn
uttermost, for the accomplishment of tn
important changes demanded by the ext
gency of the times, and an admonitlon
an experience which has taught US tn
fruitlessness of Cancellation and the neces
sity Of effectual remedies. To the peopl
then we must look for victory or downfall
their decision will infuse into the Go,
eminent the elements of uninterrupte
prosperity and Immaculate purity, orwi
render il once more a puppet subjected t
the corrupt dominion Of a moneyed despo'
ism.
