TRUE DEMOCRACY AS WE UNDERSTANDTT 1T.

hands of The Democrats Of The Revolution, and

adding TO it or taking from il one sentence, espe

recklessly desire to remove every obstacle out
of his way to the Presidency-may be consider

tlcular class of citizens can ever be tolerated for
moment by the Democracy Of this country
These are the most prominent features of De-
mocracy. They are simple, and can be under
stood by any honest man. The interests,
The feelings and desires in relation to rights and
privileges, which unbdden ac,uale the breas Is
OF honest men, are all encouraged, graliie and
protected by the principles Of Democracy be-
cause these principles were laid down and es-
tablished by men having similar feelings and
desires.
" The greatest good Of the greatest number
was the great ind to be attained. Hence, if
any individual, by means of charter or other
monopoly granted by The Legislature, should be
able TO enjoy in his own person the benefits
arising from an enactment, while his brother
ireemen in some other section of the country
are enduring corresponding evil. from il, this
would be The very antirodes ofIrue Democracy.
And yet this is precisely the nature Of Bank

But true Democracy does not empower ad
ers 10 choose themselves. Neither can true De-
mocracy sanction the conduct Of selfconsli-

kitchen into The temple, and afterwards pro-
claims that no converts TO the principles Of De-
mocracy shall enter, who will not first pledge
themselves to support his usurped leadership
perpeiuaIy. This would be monopoly and fy-
rdnny in the temple OF ID, mocracy.
No man in the Democratic parry has The

are no lets and hindrances on Democratic ground.
