The selection of suitable candidate for the Presi-
dency Of the u s. is intimately connected with the
success Of the principles ofthe Democratic Republican
party that IL is of the greatest Importance TO u.s. upon
whom that choice may fall The temporary triumph
and ascendancy Of the Wings, show what we ought to
apprehend from the longer continuance in power of a
party, whose principles are so directly opposed TO our
views Of the proper administration OF the Federal Go
vernment. The Bank, the Tariff, the Bankrupt Law,
the Distribution ofthe Proceeds of the Public Lands,
and the Assumption Of State Debts, have been the
great objects Of that party 10 accomplish, and their
whole course while in the possession of power, has
been marked by m,srue and disorder OF every kind 1t
becomes US, therefore, IN order to remedy the evils
which have already flowed from the ascendancy Of
hig principles and resist those which they have
aniy attempted carry out. to organize party d.
recty opposed 10 them, and present to the people Of
the United States a candidate who will sustain our
views.
Nav 1874. has been fixed on by many Of the States
for the time of holding a National Con enton and
think properly There are many reasons why the
Spring of 1874 should be selected but is sufficient
for u.s. that not only the views of the several
candidates. but also those of their supporters should be
made known upon all the great questions upon which
the Democratic Republican party has been organized,
before we are called on make the selection Of
dda,e for the Presidency. Fortunately for us, We can
offer the people Of the u States the name OF candl.
dale whose political opinions are known to ALL as they
form part of The history of the counry who has
