The sound Democratic Sentiment.

1t is beyond doubt question that the great Demo
cratic Party OF the country, North and South and East
and West, has resolved upon the reassertion of the
national principles which governed IL past time,
and their maintenance against traitors within and foes
without, for the future. They preparing TO rally

We have evidence of this in every OF the Union

Minister TO Brazil, among other things says, he is
honest man." Now Pope says,
''An honest man 5 the noblest work of God"
Under that definitions is perfect buresque to call
Bob Schenek q honest man." Reader: did you ever

face Of our Brazilian Minister. He is clever fellow
enough, bat the mobiles. work of God. Such dec
laration would drive all Brazil to iufdelity. 1t may be
said he cannot help his looks. True but he might stay
about Dayton, where foI eigners wouldn't see him.

remarkng:

might be had which would satisfy the prejudces of the
people; but left the Senate and another station
before the law passed. The law of 1850 passed.
Now | undertake, a lawyer and on my professional
character say You and ALL that the law
is decidedly favorable the fugitive than General
Washington's law of 1793
Such is the present law: and. 81
much opposed and maligned it is it is favora-
bic law to the fugitive than the law of Washingon's Of
1893, which created disturbance at the time il was
passed, and which sanctioned by the North well
as by the South. But this opposition is sentiment oil
modern times From whom does this clamor come
Why. look at the proceedings Of the AntSavery Con-
ventionslook at their resolutions Do you find among
all those persons who oppose this fugitive slave law any
admission whatever that any law ought to be passed
carry into effect the solemn stpulaons of the Constu
ton? Tell any snch case! Tell me il any resolution
passed by the Convention at Syracuse avorng the
carrying ofthe Constitution Not onel The fact is
