II
M, ssrs DEMOCRAT, which we offer TO 7
our political friends in this section OF the / I
State as an organ and advocate oil lhelr s
principles, .
The time may be,deemed by some IN lie
ausbicious for the establishment OF polI- q
.tical ne Uspaper- soon after the terini- 4
rat;on of one of the most violent and de- Q
cisiye contests which has marked the an
nails Of the Union. To this we answer II
that there is now but the more need foI Il
yioilant and independent press not 10 ian 4
the flame Of discord, and arouse anew the /
excitement so happily ailayed by the YER
dict of the balloI-box, but 10 scan win ma Q
rigid scrutiny the conduct Of those VINO nj /
public stations, aud to arraign at the par
| of public opinion the chosen executors
of the popular viii, for every derllecilon
from duty. Other contests, too, as impor- /
fant as that which has terminated, VIII |
arise hereafter. Already the defeated
party has thrown off the flimsy veil when
| disguised their yindictive malice towards
a portion of our population-the large
class who have sought among US an asy
lum from the oppression and tyranny Oh
the privileged robbers of other countrles;-
already have they formed an alliance win
faction who seek to fix the exercise OF
the rights of liberty by the accident oil
hir.h. and 10 light the torch of religious
binotrv and persecution in this free coun-
frV. Ifgo they will ii, the Democratic patty
i prepared TO meet them on this issue,
as did their fathers in the days OF Mr.. JET
ferson: to resist every attempt to extend
the present naturalization laws, or to
j abridge the privilege of becoming citizens
and holding property among US, and 10
j continue this the land of liberty, and the
home of the oppressed of all nations
The result of the recent election has
inspired the Democracy with renewed faith
! 10 the purity of the principles OF Equal
! Rights and popular government In the
words of an accomplished and eloquent
champion of the cause" The Democra
tic principle, having for time been over
whelmed by arts and misrepresentation
j has gathered energy to throw oil tn
d weight that bore it down: IT HAS RISE
ONCE MORE IN ITS MAJESTY, TO be tn
y Guiding star of our nation, and the hope o
humanity
To ensure the fruits of this victory
to hold the recipients of the peoples "a
yor to a rigid accountability-to assIs
to defeat the future wiles and machlna
= lions of the class who are to reap the be
he neft Of partial legislation and special pr
N, vileges through the medium OF Bankln
be Funding, restrictive Tariff, or other me
se nopolozing systems-and TO use all hone
he rable means to perpetuate the ASCENDING
he Of the principles of his party-is now tn
er, duty of every democrat. To these pu
poses we pledge ourselC as the condact'
es- of democratic press.
be We have borrowed our motto
he g That government is best which governs least
'er from a periodical the pride and boast, az
ne an honor TO the literature, of the Amer
lot can Democracy. In illustration OF hi
ar we shall defend "ihe broadcast liberty
go' the citizen, compatible with the organ
ay' law and the most simple governme
nj which will secure public safety.
ms Essential to the success OF our inslIt
ost lions, and to the progress Of our principle
fse is the establishment Of a system OF Fr
Oa1 Schools. To effect this, we offer re
lous cooperation with the press of
res State. It is much to the discredlt OF t
Inc favored section of the Union, that we ha
me no successful system of public instructI'
airs and the press of both political parties, ca
zee not be engaged in a more profitable s.
III vice than that of arousing our people
nen the importance of placing the acqulsltl
anu Of knowledge within the reach oil all.
ems We believe that the creation OF pat
4 debt for purposes ether than the gene
leai defence, or TO defray the actual exPen
Q OF of government, is beyond the power of
constituted authorities, at war with
TINS spirit of our Institutions, calculated IN
ou' end 10 reduce the people TO vassalag'
ee,s, and we shall oppose all laws TO I
Any taxes to pay the principal or interesi
% $50 calledA debts heretofore contracted
e violation Of the Constitution and laws
~ the State.
otn'' Believing union and concession nes
'lses .sary to party organization, we shall sup
cur such nominees as may be designated
we're q majority of the party in conyento
ss'ef the nominees being orthodox IN their
SUP litical faith.
