The result Of the recent election has
inspired the Democracy with renewed faith
in the purity OF the principles Of Equal
Rights and popular government. In tbs

We have borrowed our moteo-
Z" That government is beat which sarsfrls last. >
from periodical the pride and boast, ard
an honor TO the literature, Of the Ameri.
can Democracy. In Illustration OF this.
We shall defend " the broadcast liberty Of
the citizen, compatible with the organic
law" and the most simple government
which will secure public safety.
Essential to the success Of our institn-
tons, and TO the progress Of our principles,
is the establishment of system OF Free
Schools. To effect this, we offer ! yea
lous cooperation with the press Of the
State. Ii IS much 10 the discredit CT this
favored section Of the Union, that We have
no successful system of public instruction.
and the press of both political parties, can
not be engaged in 4 more profitable ser
vice than that of arousing our people L.
the importance of placing the acquisition
OF knowledge within the reach of az.
We believe that the creation Of public
debt for purposes ether than the general
