WHO is THE TRUE DEMOCRAT3
As these are times when men are to be Judged
by their past history, friend has placed in our
hand the Sun, of September 9th, 1889, from which
we quote the following compilation, for the edi-
fication of the democratic readers of the Repub-
ican No wonder we find that paper proclaim
ing that the Blacksmith should stick to his anvil,
and the Shoemaker to his last The sentiment
is very-very appropos! But to the extracts
From, the Sun Of Sept 9th, 1889.
eeWho is this uncorrupted and unpurchasable
Editor-this SAMUEL HARKER, whom the self
STYLED Democratic Press of the country have for
months past been welcoming back to the editorial
chair, as the bold, fearless and uniform Cham
pion of Democracy Who is this jewel of con-
sistency, who claims to be the friend of the
people, Andrew jackson, Thomas Jefferson, and
Martin Van Buren-whilst he reioices in the
name Of Democrat, and charges upon others the
sin of being sEpolitical changelings"-who is he?
Let him speak for himself, in editorials in the
columns of 'eThe Delaware Gazette, printed and
published by Samuel Harker, at Wilmington,
Delaware" First, as to his Democracy and
love of the people
In 1922. He says:
sfWe will never ask p SC. forgiveness OF the
political sin, which stamped upon the name of
E4@A(SISAA<AoL WE DELlOhI IN The NAAlEsE
Again, in 1928:
s'ro us, the name of Federalism is a subject
of no reproach. We rejoice to bear il, and hope
that our efforts to honor and support it, may be
such as it merits. While others are endeavoring
to hold it up to scorn and deserving its standard
for the purpose of securing power and emolu-
ment, from other hands, it shall be our glory to
support its cause, and OUR FEEBLE POW
ERS SHALL ALWAYS BE EMPLOYED
tn diSILau ifs beauties to othersni
Again. In reply to a correspondent of the
Wilmington Waterman, he compliments the
Democracy thus
eeWe can inform ssVerbum Sato of the Watch
man, that none of his LOW BRED, HIDE-BoUND
DEMOCRATS corresponds 10Th Us, as he i7lSiIlu-
s. ates.7
Again Federalism he calls the COED OLD
CAUSE.
esBetter and Better-The accounts we receive
from Kent and Sussex, are more and more pleas
ing From other places we also learn, that the
FederalistS actively engaged, and evince an
anxious desire FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE
GOOD OLD CAUSE"
Again. He tells Us what he deemed GOOD
NEWS:
"Good. Nst1s-St. Georges Hundred has come
out Federal. A FEDERAL CONSTABLE
has been elected in this STRONGHOLD OF
DEMOCRACY"
Again. He rallys the Federalists to the Polls,
ami tells who the Democrats are:
esTtu7a out, turn out, give in your votes for
Gen. Paynter and the Federal ticket. Then shall
we be safe-then shall see the t,v5aaent-the
rioielat, the ,Enpfincipled men, who have con-
tended against us, put doSU'i.0
Again. The election is over; the Federalists
succeeded, he raises the shout OF triumph:
esThe Triumph of Federalism. federalism
has again re-established itself in Delaware. 1t
has suffered partial eclipse, but its gories have
only been concealed for a season, TO display the
greater radiance and beauty on its re-appear-
ance.o
Such is SAMUEL HARKER. Democrats of Bal
timore, behold the ''man of your counsel;" a
Democrat Gin whom there is guile"
As to his Friendship for Andrew Jackson
In 1888. He says:
ssOf all the gentlemen named for the Presi-
dency, General Jackson appears to us the most
Objectionable"
Again. tsWc have seen in the General, such
disregard for the Institutions of the country
such disposition to place himself aboue its Ia,cs
and such inclination to trdnpIe upo1 the
rights Of others, when they stood in opposition
to his own interests feelings, as should render
the citizens of the United States very cautious
about placing him in the first Office within their
gift"
/. Again. seGeneral Jackson like Gen. WAYNE,
should be called Mad .AHdre,vo
Friends of General jackson, behold the con-
sistent supporter of your beloved old General.
As to his Friendship for MIR. Jefferson
In 1928 He says:
s.The unprovoked attack which Mr.. Jefferson
has been pleased to make upon the Federal par
ty without any kind of necessity or reason for it,
is altogether unustifabe, and can be accounted
for on no other ground than the MENTAL
IMBECILIIY or unhallowed resentment of its
author, a most co7suns70te ifitriguer, who had
been opposed to the adoption of the Federal con-
stitution; inveigled himself into the favor of the
people; undermined the men who had befriended
him, and rendered him popular, when far other
wise, ON account of his opposition to the consti-
tuition; nisrepresensed their motives and actions,
and iHstigated others to insult and abuse them,
and at length seated himself in the chair of the
Chief Magistracy Of the country, by OF
the MOST SHAMEFUL DOUBLE DEAL
ING and PERYERSION OF TRUTH AND
JUSTICE."
Democrats, behold the consistent follower OF
the Father of Democracy.
As to his Friendship for Mr.. Van Buren,
believe the party hold mp Mr. Van Buren, as
Democrat2 Well the Democratic Editor of
the Republican, speaking through the Delaware
Gazette, in 1928, says:
eve SHOULD REJOICE TO SEE A
SOLID, SUBSTANTIAL FEDER.aLTST
ELEVATED TO THE PRESIDENTIAL
CHAIR, because we believe that the advance
ment OF the best interests of the country would
be thereby promoted
Friends Of Van Buren,, behold yo,,r cbamp;on
your Democrats Editor-who, in his daily
paper, prociaims to the world, that no political
change Of sentiment sscan be the result of honest
convictionn-that the subsequent esprofessionss
