THE PLANTER.
Tuesday, Nov. 90, 1888.

There can be no better evidence of the
correctness of those principles for which
we contend, than the unwavering success
that has attended them through evil ant
through good report. Yes, supported by
I the proud consciousness of the justice anc
4 integrity of our purpose, we wreck not
though we hazard life and limb in the
\ defence and maintenance OF what we be-
lieve the cause Of our country and the
Cause Of humanity. Though the enemies
of equal rights may rail and threaten us
with pains and penalties-though they
may set on their hell-hounds to disturb
bur quiet, and annoy us as we walk the
streets, we shall not be driven from our
position. The votaries of truth and free
tlom, though surrounded with faggots, on
Nv yield their faith with their lives. De.
mocracy, from its infancy, in despite of all
Opposition. has continued onward in its
course-it has proudly rode upon the an
CRY waves of political strife, amid rocks
and quicksands, and now, as CALAMITY I'M
furls its canvass to the breeze, as though
y had just left its native port.
"Let facts be stated"
RA Ever since the signal overthrow of the
! Federal party in the beginning of the pre-
kent centary, they have been struggling
with the desperation of Millions devils, to
recover their lost estate, and resume once
again into their hands that power, in the
exc ase of which, they so peculiarly de-
light. For this, they have busted them
selves in all the intrigue aud stratagem
that cunning, ambitious and corrupt
- ATTY could devise, such as bribery, cor
faption, Bank panics and pressures, &c.
When these fail, they have, at one time,
with demonac malignity, denounced and
stigmatised the people for their ignorance
and utter incapacity for selfgovernment.
AT another time they have feigned them
Helyes the champions ofthese same reviled
people, telling them that those whom they
had put in power, were wicked and corrupt,
and trying to cheat them out of their lib
critics. But unfortunately, for them, their
schemes and Vaccinations have always
Been seen through in time, and they have
emet with that attention which their false
and hollow pretensions for "the interest of
the people" merited. Though changing
with Protean facility from Federalists to
National Republicans, Wings, and the
Lord knows what not, all would not do,
hey only beautifully illustrated that
heres nothing in name. The true
ause of their ardor and zeal was but too
apparent in their premature shout of "vic-
Rlory,'' on more than one occasion. By
8his they showed that they only wanted
hose who were in Office OUT, that they
hight get IN. No wonder they have fail
ia in this. The manner in which the Fe- |
aeraIists or Wings would manage affairs,
Were they intrusted with the Adminstra-
non Of this Government, was most beauti-
aiilly and clearly exemplifed in the admit
NARRATION Of the elder Adams. The Gag
acts, and the alien and sedition laws, as
ing as history remains faithful to the past,
VIII stand as mementoes Of this reign Of
INJUSTICE and oppression, the re-establish-
fnent Of which, the American people, as
ne legitimate descendants Of freemen,
VII, through all future periods Of this Re-
inbIic, continue to eschew as one of the
Ncrst curses that could alight upon free
ND independent nation. Fate seems to
ave doomed the Federal, better known
ew as the Wing party, as punishment
IL its evil doings, to one eternal struggle
y success, but never, no never 10 realize !
~ hopes. Like Wolsey, when they think !
i surely their greatness is a ripening, I
'6ere comes frost, killing frost, and |
Aips it in the bud. '
How often evcn-handed justice has lifted |
he ingredients of their poisoned Chalice t
y their own lips, may be read in the his {
by of their disappointments, their rever-
j and their sufferings. We never con- I
lnplate the history Of this party, but we !
