FOR WAR" was an injunction of the Father OF our
Country, which should be indeliby impressed upon
the heart of every true American citizen
The paper will extend cordial support to the pre-

TALLY democratic, and intended TO benefit the entire
American Poople-while, at the same time, II will not

corrupt and selfish politicians, more especially when
they found endeavoring to build up splendid Go
vernment through the aid of an Irresponsible money
power upon foundation of Clay, without regard to
the purity Of the principles upon which the Republic
was originally established.
In regard the candidate for the Presidency it
is somewhat premature to declare any particular per.

sterling Democrats named in connection with that
office The editor, however, believes that the sober
second thought of the People is wrong, but al

ganization but will moi hesitate to canvass with all
fairness and candor the preensons of all candidates

the moral and political happiness of the whole People,
and TO carry out far may be practicable the doc
trines of the Fathers of Democracy, summed up
in the simple phrase, Equal and exact justice to all
men,"
