For the Union.
The Democratic Party-its True Position.

II there ever was time since the organic ation OF the
government for the democratic party to be united now
the suspicious moments for without unity oil acuon ana
shirt of compromise which is necessary element for
genuine democrat cannot maintain the great philoso
phical position which genius and patriotism have marked
out for onward career as great and magnanmous
nation Without the success OF democratic measures,
where would country now be in the history OF ma
lions! She would be pent up in the geographical limits
of the old thirteen States Ii has been the clamor
of the federal party, the purchase OF Louisiana by
Mr. Jefferson that they opposed to The extension OF
territory which was buta esuilical opposition to the
tension of civil and religious hbertyto the gradual but
steady advancement of which, that great apostle of
liberty devoted the energies OF his gigantic intel
lect His very is beacon light to those who
are ardently devoted to the extension OF the great
republican principles which his talents and patriot
ism infused into political system, and every year
of our national existence adds new beauty and
yigor to the philosophical truths he has left
mento of his intellectual worth. The moral force of
Mr. Jehersons political principles cannot be resisted
by the federal pary hence ii is that they affect to
argument and reason his system OF political economy
cannot be resisted. They use his mighty name merely
to deceive the unsuspecng WHILE IN their very hearts
they despse his principles The ingenuity OF the leaders
of this great centrazing party is beyond description
they know will not do for them to go before the people
with the avowed determination to carry out their prncl
pies, which exemped in the great contest OF 1910
the result of which Is part OF the history OF the
country and should they again succeed by STEALTH does

The federal party, when out of power have grea
horror for prescription; but, when they WELD it, they
have no bounds-which has been fully eXempliiet
during the last two three days. for since they have
discovered that it is likely they will have majority il
the next House of Representatives, they have begun
selecting their candidates for the various places in thu
Capitol but when they are out of power and there
is no likelihood of their getting in for some time
/ they appeal to the magnanimy OF the democracy
which has been extended, in many instances, with TOT
liberal hand. We mention this merely in illustration
of the idea that we wish to impress upon the minds
that the federal party are not be relet
upon in their professions They are not to be trustee
when they say Bank Of the United States is an obsolete
idea with them, because they as adenty attached
such institution as ever They are not to be trustee
when they admit that the tariff of 1916 has worked well
because they ardently attached to the restrictive
J policy as ever; and we all know that they would i'm
mediaey if they had the power repeal the Independent
treasury so to create the necessity Of establishing
bank, although they admit for the sake OF throwing
the democracy off their guard that is an obsolete idea
