eyed despotism. 1t is branch Of the great
whig party which promised to close the Flori-
da war in six weeks after the induction Of
whig President. II is the same party which
in 1910 alarmed the people with The clamor of
100000 standing army; and in 1912 employed

party which in 1910 denounced the use ofblood

denounced the needless furniture at the White
House -and in 1871 voted the purchase Of
$6. 900 more. 1t is the same party which in
1910 promised retrenGhment and reform; and
in 1912 had increased the national debt
from five 10 twenty-five millions. 1t is

in opposing the selfish political array which
has been described, the same democracy
which ever stood by their country in veal and
through woe, will rally once more in defence
OF their principles. Amidst the shouts Of ruin
and distress, of clamor and denUnciations
which assailed The administration of jackson,
they stood unterrifed 10 the last. They will
again rally in the consciousness that they are

not the equality ofman, but look first 10 the in.

for tariff amply sufficient for revenue for

first and then consult the capitalization can
didates, who recognize in The mass ofthe peo-
pie, the sovereignty Of nation, and will re-
gard The interests of all it's citizens as equally
worthy ofegislative consideration. And with
q firm reliance upon The value of their princ,s

stout hearts and upright intentions, they will
enter upon The campaign with full assurance
that with vigilance, organization and effort,
VICTORY will crown their efforts.
