In our politics we are decidedly Demo
cratic--we yielded a hearty, and we
think, we'll merited support TO much the
greater portion of the late administra-
ltion--and assisted to the utmost of our
humble abilities, in eeyating to power the
present Chief Magistrate of the nation.
And, though we are welded to no man or
party, yet so long as he continues TO fol-
low in that line, which he has already
lchalked ont for himself, we shall conceive
that we can no better preserve, protect
and defend the constitution and liberties
ofthe people than by yielding him an ar
dent and untireing support. Reared in
the land that gave birth othe great apos-
tie Of liberty, we early to lisp Democra-
cy, Jefferson, Liberty--we have enlisted
freely tn the contest, and our subsequent
days sha be spent we trust as our first
have been, battling in the cause freedom
| We believe that the so STYLED Virginia
and Kentucky resolutions Of 1913 and '99,
give true exposition of the spirit and
meaning of The constitution, that the
political line which they have drawn, is
the one intended to be thrown around the
national government to keep it within its
prescribed limits, but in yielding to this
belief, We have not thought it neces
Isary to run into the ultra State Rights
doctrines, contained in the South Caro-
lima ordinance of 1889.
We are for strict construction Of tht
constitution, and can therefore ncvcl
yield the point that Congress can, with
out most palpable and dangerous in
fraction, Of the constitution, charter,
nation Bank, or create any other corpo
rate body. Yet we do not entertain an,
