home of The oppressed of all nations.
The result Of the recent election haf
inspired the Democracy with renewed fntf
in The purity Of the principles Of Equa
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
whemed by arts and misrepresentation,
has gathered energy to throw off the
weight that bore it down: TT HAS RISEN
ONCE MORE IN ITS MAJESTY, to be the
guiding star Of our nation, and the hope Of
humanity

nefit of partial legislation and special pri.
yileges through the medium Of Banking
Funding, restrictive Tariff, or other mo.
nopoIozlng systems--and to use all homo
rable means TO perpetuate the ascendancy

We have borrowed our motto
"That government is best which governs least, +"
from periodical the pride and boast, aud
an honor to the literature, of the Amer.

we shall defend the broadcast liberty of

which will secure public safety.
Essential to the success Of our inslitu.
tons, and to the progress Of our principles,
is the establishment of a system Of Free

not be engaged in a more profitable SER

the importance of placing the acquisition
of knowledge within the reach of all.
We believe that the creation of public
debt for purposes ether than the general
defence, or 10 delray the actual expenses
Of government is beyond the power Of the
authorities, at war with the
spirit of our institutions, calculated in the
end to reduce the people 10 yassaage-
and we shall oppose all laws to levy
taxes to pay the principal or interest Of
$50 called) debts heretofore contracted in
violation Of the Constitution and laws Of

itical faith.
