by holding parlcys with the enemy, TO ASCERTAIN
upon what terms he will evacuate, while at the same
time he does as he lists. The principles Of the
democratic and wing parties are antagonisiical by
nature; and war must and will be waged, until one
or the other is vsnquished. The democratic party
represents the ins0sests Of simple humanity, and not
of the accidents OF humanity. The wing party re-
presents the accidents of humanity. 10 plain words
the Democratic party represents the worth of man
money money No~' between ' these there !. inter
mediate ground upon which they can meet and
form compromise; and any compromise made Is
only to buy of from the democratic party those who
become interested in such compromises; and the
sequence is, the weakening Of the democratic party
Our advice, them is, that IL is the duty Of the dem
ocraiic party never 10 make any compromise.
When We look over the Union, we find that the
democratic party, with a few exceptions, has con-
troll over the national and State governments; and
we instnctively say il isiin duty bound to adopt
such measures as will render its ascendcncy pcrma
nent and abiding and il is then that the axiom OF
Jackson--"in peace prepare for war"--strlkes us
as forcibly applying to the democratic party. We
have already said that the democratic party repre-
sens the rights Of man. while the wing party repre-
sents the rights Of morey Prudence, then, dictates
to the former party, when IL has sway, to do
all in It's power to weaken the power OF money; for
that is always the power il has to contend with. 1t
must, then, not tamper or daily with the money
power, by showing it favors or giving 1t privileges.
II must not favor the incorporation of capital, nor
the laying Of protective duties, But it demands, at
the hands of the democratic party, the total abo.
ton Of banks and protective tariffs, and the separa-
ton Of the funds OF the government from all mon
eyed corporations. Let the democratic party now
perform its duty with an unshrinking hand, and an
advantage ground will be gained, from which re.
verses will be able to drive them. Whenever the
power Of capital is brought to bear in an uDbrokcn
front upon the democratic phalanx, we confess we

The overwhelming defeat sustained by the demo-
cratic party in the State Of New York, in the fall Of
1887, when ninety odd banks lives depended upon
the result has taught lesson have not forgot
ten. So, ALSO the presidential election of l840 The
cent election in Ohio also bears evidence to the
fact. Organize capital, and fortify it by privileges,
and bring on direct conflict with it and the democ-
racy, and the result is almost invariably the same
the prostration Of the democratic party. Were the
different bantlings Of whigery, which have been the
recipients ofts bountics, not conflicting and bete
rogeneous, we would almost give up the contest.
But as the interests which have been the favor
ties Of whgery are antagonistical not to ad-
NIT Of unity, the consequence is, the democratic
party has attacked and vanquished each in detail.
But mould the whole into mass, and give il uni
ty of aim and action, and we would tremble at the
result. The democratic party then, to itself
owes il to the cause of truth and justcc-owes il TO
the perpetuation of liberty on this Western continent
owes it to the OF suffering humanity every
where, to curtai the heads of this hundrcd-hcadcd
hydra, as fast and speedily as possible. Destroy
the banks, and prohibit their rc-cstabshment dis
solve the connection between the government and
corporations; abolish the protective tariff, and halo

sues its onward and upward career with renewed
vgor and hope, and long will be heard the jubilee
song Of deverance ascend from every tribe, kindred,
and nation Of the earth.
