1.-THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN
PARITY

reorganization Of the Democratic Repub-
lican party is inevitable. II is already in pro-
gress, the sneers Of the Loco-iocos, to the
contrary notwithstanding. The people are
ripe for it, and the movement will be sponta-
neous. Political federation, freedom Of OPT
Mon, tho right Of peaceably assembling, and
more liberal party regime, are to become the
order Of the day. The Loco-focos arc to be
buried deeply in their graves with their 'drty
sheeis"s around them.
The movement in New York is already Sc
conded in various quarters. and the result will
be conventions Of the people in their respective
States, for the better understanding oftheir real
opinions, greater security in the enjoyment Of
them, and publication and reorganization of
the Democratic Republican party. The con-
ventions Of New York and Connecticut will
be seconded with strength and extensive
ness Of cooperation little expected by many
who are resting in conscious security ofar-
bitrary sway, unacquainted with the force and
character Of the currents that are hurrying ST.
lently along beneath the surface of political
events
We warned our old friends betimes, and
with great earnestness and sincerity, of the
results Of the intolerant and dangerous policy
they were pursuing. We warned them of the
consequences Of attacks upon State institutions,
and Of unjusti6abie imputations upon the vir
tue Of the people. Notwithstanding their eff
forts to save the administration were treated
with indignity, the Democratic Republican
party have stood by their chosen Rulers until
the cup of forbearance is filed to the brim
They cannot always passively endure the bur-
dens imposed upon them. The instinct Of
selfprcservation has already begun to operate,
and the result will be universal effort to save
the party by recurrence to first principles.
Upon the ancient platform Of Jefersonian De-
mocratic Republicanism the PEOPLE WILL
RALLY. They are called upon to do it by
every consideration that can be presented to
the mind of an American Patriot-by their
love for the vital principles of our republican
system-by sacredregard for the Declaration
and the Cunstitution-by their respect for the
sovereignty of the States-by their desire to
enjoy the rights belonging to ireemen secure
from the arbitrary dictation of Government and
the tyranny OF Loco-foco mobs-by their love
of peace and quiet, public virtue, personal
liberty, independence and safety.
In the assertion and maintenance of the
Democratic Republican faith, and the security
Of popular rights, the people Of other States
are preparing TO follow the examples of New
York and Connecticut How long will it be
before the " Key Stone" State shall exhibit
the unfeigned wishes and opinions Of her nu-
merous Democratic Republican citizens?--
How long before the Democratic Republicans
of Maryland, Maine, Virginia, Illinois, and
other states, shall declare their opinions, and
shape their movements to secure their free
enjoyment, il not to enforce their ascendancy
in the business and direction Of government!
