As the decisive contest approaches il becomes more
and more evident, that the Democratic party are de
slTous 1871, OF again trying the issucs on when
they fell in $50. They think, tkct the principles
around which they then rallied, are principles essen
tai to our advancement a nation, and they believe
that the deusve exc,temen!s which ct that time
brought about defeat have far passed away under
tn coun!eactng influence OF xperIence thGt the vest
majority is now with them. They stand assured that
the s'sober second thought is working out lis whole
some results, and they wish to meet their enemies just
as they met them in the last Presidential struggle
not ory with the same doctrines but with the same
candidate, that it may be- in all lis preliminary aspects,
the battle, and that, If they do triumph, as they
are convinced they will, possibility may exist on the
part Of those who st-vs against them, Of resoriug t.

is not that Democracy does not give ITS full appre
