which exisiedat the formation Of the consttutiol
still exist. The democratic party is the same
now that it was sixty years ago. 1t advocates the
same measures, and still seeks 10 maintain the
greatest good of the greatest number. 1t is OPP
posed TO all special legislation, whether by the
national or state governments, comforting immu,
mites on a few favored individuals, which are moi
granted TO the mass Of the people. Hence the
Democracy are opposed to the establishment Of
a National Bank, which is nothing but a magni
fcent engine for swindling and delrauding the
honest but unsuspecting portion Of community
they are opposed TO a high Protective Tariff, Of
any levy of duties which discriminates in favor O
one class of mankind 10 The exclusion of anothe
for they believe that one set of men have ne
more right 10 expect or ask favors from govern
ment than another, and that the poorest and mos
obscure member Of society has equal claims OIL
government as the wealthiest nabob in the lane
they are opposed 10 the grand federal scheme
of The National Government assuming TO pay the
Idebts of the states, because it is unwlse, inexpe
dent and unconstitutional-they are opposed tt
the proceeds arising from the sales ofthe public
lands being taken from their natural and legitl
mate channel, and distributed among the states
at the rate of a few pennies to each voter! thus
creating a horde of new officers and converting
the sovereign States into miserable mendicants-
they are opposed to the passage of Bankrupt
Laws such as that of 1S4l, which wipes out by
a single scratch of the pen, millions of dollars oil
ndebtedness-fnally, they are opposed to the
monster FEDERALISM, a name which embraces
every thing that democratic freemen abhor and
Idetest.
The principles OF Democracy have been in the
ascendant in our government since its formation,
with the exception of a few years, when the dem
party were either cheated by bargain and
sale, or defeated by fraud, bribery and pipc-lay-
ing. In 1910 the wing party succeeded to pow
err, by the means of fraudulent double voting,
and making hypocrit;cal professions Of democra-
cy. Gen. Harrison and John Tyler, it was ale
ged, were democrats of the Jcffersonian school,
and that if they were elected, their adminjstra-
lion would be governed by democratic principles.
They obtained power, but instead of carrying out
their measures which they ayowed befoie the
people would govern the new administration, we
find that the federal party, needed by Henry Clay
and Daniel Webster, Introduced and passed laws
Though both branches of Congress, of the most
ultra federal and anti Democratic character.
But John Tyler, the man they supported for the
Vice Presidency, "without a why OF wherefore"
by a Providental interposition, came into posses
sion of The Presidential chair, and true to his an
cient political faith, he had the honesty and man
ly independence, to veto the infamous bills of
the Clay Congress and thereby preserved his
consistency and saved the American people from
disgrace & the corrupting influence ofacts which
would have ruined and beggarcd the great mass
honest yoomlnry Of the country. And for
being thus honest, John Tyler has been denoun-
cod in the most vindicliyo manner, and The whole
vocabulary Of epithets has been boapcd upon his
head.
The Federal party arc now supporting a man
for the Presidency, who is himself tIe very core
and Embodiment Of wing principles-They feel
morally certain that if they succeed in e~lecting
him, that he will not approve the adoption ofthoir
%favorite schemes. We find them making a des-
perate and indeed demoniac, effort, TO gain pow
er. Crazy as they were in 1910, they are not
less 50 in 1874. Bat every thing seems to
against tlom. The democracy are glo-
triumphing in every part of our beloved
country; and even in Clay's own Kentucky, and
at his very Ashland door, the loud peals of yicto-
ry fall upon his ears, Ike a thunder storm! But
the man and lis party still, Notwithstanding, have
the fool-hardiness to make appeals to the Amer
lean people to give him their support.
But Henry Clay is destined to be defeated, as
certain as the n~oon-day sun gives light. The
great mass Of the people of the United States,
who are democratic, will never consent toilet fed
aral principles gain the a~scendency. JAMES X.
Polk and GEoRGE M. DALLAS will be on next
President and Vice President, as certain as they
live. And we now predict that the defeat of the
this fall uiU be their defeat forcrcr!
They cannot organize--they cannot again cram
their lies down the people--they cannot again
collect a corporal's guard TO do battle for them at
the elections.
Democrats! as you love Liberty--as you cherish
your Republican lnstitutions-as you desire that
our Democratic form of Government may be per-
petual, exert yourself for a few weeks longer.
Buckle on your armor for the confict--slumber
not on the watch-tower Of freedom--be not idle
q single moment-be yigilant from morning I'M
