COALITION.

as the Free Soil Party Free Democracy IS conceTnN
ed should be fairly understood. That party, ahjuring
as party issues, most of the questions Of mere political
expectancy some Of them local in their character and
partial in their application, and Of hem napt from
change of tine and circumstances, with which the old
parties had become encountered have adopted the great
leading Iundame,tal principles which gave vitality to
those parties in their original organizations and, as
growing out OF them have made opposition 10 slavery
in all It's forms their leading and Interchangeable parry
sue o long slavery exists, 10 contend against.
The great fundamental principle of tie Democratic
party, originally constituted was the natural inharen,
political equality Of all men; and the holding Of this
principle which has given the party its efficiency,
and has contributed to its almost uniform success
But the party such although sul holding tie prin>
cple in the abstract, has practically abandoned ii,
and its dereicon has become manifesto 10 all, tEat
the spell is broken which heretofore led on TO almost
certain victory. It's open and undisgused coalition with
the slave has finally demoral.z d ii, ana broken
il down
The Wing party, too, commenced its organization,
under that name, with tic great fundamental principle
Of the Eng sh Wings and OF the Why's Of the Revolt,
ton, principle which all true believers in republican
government must admit to be a sound one VIZ resls>
auce to the encroachnents OF arbitrary power and
restriction of the Executive strictly within the limits
prescribed by the cons tu'ion. This the ground,
work OF their organization, and it brought together,
der the name OF wigs men who had been prominent in
both The existing political parties. But the peculiar
Circumstances under which the organization formed
having passed away, new party issues grew up cut Of
he podcyof the times, and the principle itself became
either Oh olee with the party, or was looked upon as
thing OF secondary consequence.
The + &c Democracy bases-lsefon these principles;
they its groundwork; and, without them, it has no
separate existence. gives vituy the prime pies, by
making the questions witch grow directly out Of them-
those Of personal Liberty and political rgbs-its distinct
and leading party issues When, therefore il can bet.
ter accomplish The great objects it has in view, by
union with others, and thai UNION can be effecS
ted without the sacrifice of any principle as was the
case in The election Of Wilson and Tuck in New
Hampshire, and has been the case, aho in the more
recent unions with portions Of the Democrats Of Vermont
and Wisconsin, il will have objection to such union
but will rather seek Than avoid it, because the giving OF
its principles practical effect is one Of its primary obs
iecs.
But ift is asked, wherever il is in tn, minority. to
unite with either Of the old par merely for the purpose
of giving to that parry triumph or for the purpose mere
y OF putting the opposing party down. can have noth>
ing to do with any sLch proposition, because the put.
