From the Rrsl lime, since the adoption
of our Constitution, Democratic Presi-
dent has beendeleated whenpIaced before
the people for reelection. Whatever may
have been the immediate causes in pro-
ducing such an un Republican anomaly
infamous frauds upon the ballot boxes,
debsuching the minds oS portion of our
population by bribery, direct or indirect, or
.deceiving them by the veriest falsehoOds
and sophisms that were ever uttered
the hidden influence that has melted the
Opposition in their desperate efforts can
not but alarm many, and particularly
those who, laboring under an ignoble in
fatuatiOn, alienated themselves from their
first love. Painful and mortfying as the

Notwithstanding as II must be TO the
advocates of Popular liberty in eiter hem
isphere-fatal as il may prove TO the sta
blity of our Governmental fabric-we
trust in Heaven that the obsequiOusness
to wealth that has marked the conduct of
those who have turned the scale against
us will not become habitual with any great
portion Of the true people.
The opponents Of the Democratic par

cade disrepntable to them as individuals,
and which will hereafter be brought up
in judgment against them as a party with
fatal effect. The Democracy entered
the field as an unarmed philosopher and
poltician-bringng with them TRUTH
without spear, and ARGUMENT unbacked
with artillery. Mighty as truth and ar
gument are, in this conflict, they have
been Frustrated, Never was party so
armed in right, as was the Democratic
party. But the mwelcome truths that
were told--the troublesome arguments
that were advanced-were not permitted
to impede the progress of the money
power. Britain, with her powerful but
insidious influence, always successful
when purposely directed to a particular
object, determined upon a reversal of our
governmental policy, and her tools and
cormorants here Obeyed the pehest. We
are defeated. The force of fraud and
falsehoOd has thrown us in nominal
, minority, much TO our disappointment
. and regret. We have this one consola-
tion, however, this one invaluable legacy
to leave to our children; that in the great
r political contest of 1910, when the whole
d money power Of our country and Britain
= was arrayed against Martin Van Buren,
o the candidate Of the Democratic party,
the statesman pure and unsulled, tho
man whom threats could not inimidate,
b nor the lure of wealth betray from the
path Of duty, that in such battle their
sire at least was true to the principles Of
q Democratic liberty. This we hope is an
), universal sentiment among the members
Of the Democratic party. Is there one
