has in many parts prevailed for time
Persuasion, threats, false issues, money
talents, (if il was not in the ranks they
had money to pay for it,) were used
Then the panic; that favorite mode Of
the federalists to force the people. wa.
got up in all its terrors.
These succeeded in producing some eff
feet. In 1886, the Nation aIists felt sure
Of success from the char .ges wrought in
public sentiment by the panic of 1884
but it availed them lit lie in the presiden.
tial election-public sentiment is forcing
the banks to resuU le-the specie in the
country will soon be put into circulation
these, with oth' n causes, will soon dispel
the effluvia az ising from the fens of Bank
Whlggery nd Federalism. Indeed, the
present s~ tie of things are cheering to
every de- .nocrat ;-"DiviGe and conquer"
the me ito of the party that opposes the
Prese' at and the past, and every popular
adm Illustration, since the days of Washing
to n, will not do longer, the republicans IN
principle have in many instances been
made to act in opposition to their own
: cause, but this could not last long.
The Conservatives of Virginia were us
ed, by the cunning of the opposition, tor a
time, to thwart the best efforts of the adj
ministration, but this continued only as
long as they hoped that their favorite
measure, the pet bank system, would sue
coed. We see them now coming to the
rescue, opposed to Clay and National
Bank, with the veteran editor, RIcHEY,
leading the way; man endeared to the
people of the Union for his eminent SER
vices, and unhinching attachment to re-
publicanism. Such men may fall into
error, but they cannot remain long In it.
There is little doubt of reunion and con-
cert ofaction between the democratic and
conservative parties. The conserVatIyes,as
party, cannot long act with the wings,
they were not dyed in the wool. Richey
says, in the Enquirer of the 7th ult.: "lt
the game should 60 against the Admins
tration, we will rush to the rescue, and
do all in our power to re-unte our repub-
lican brethren, and do battle with the
Wings. Unite our legions, and we are in
no danger. We shall still beat down the
Wings, battle the Banks, and defeat Mr..
Clay"
And in our own state, there is every
reason to expect harmony of feeling and
sameness Of action on the great points of
national policy, that is at this time grasp
ing public attention, betwixt the demo-
cratic and the state rights party.
Part Of the latter, however, attached
themselves to that party, not for the sake
of the principles, but for opposition; these
we would expect, as a matter of course,
to oppose us-.they are of the Federal dye
but, the part of that party, who are re-
publican in principle, will act with the de
rnocrats, who were always State Rights
advocates-not Nullifers. The issue is,
not who shall be the next executive, but
whether the people or q bank are to gov
ern the countryside money power or the
constitution and laws the Democratic and
State Rights parties, by the expressed
opinions in different parts of the
state, give thermometer by which we
ascertain the feelings and sentiments
which appear to correspond on the funda-
mental points of our national policy.
Democracy has nothing to fear from its
enemies, if its friends are true; but union,
compromise and action, at this time, can
not be too much urged; Bank influence is
great and active. Every freeman should
remember that "eternal vigilence is the
price of liberty" Associations connect
ed with the name of Democrat, are dear
to those who bear that name-association
and recollections in the very name that
has power to call our natures noblest
feelings up. Democracy was the leading
sentiment in the creed of JEFFERSON, and
of all the worthless whodefended the rights
and promoted the happiness of this happy
land
