Democratic banner., 1851-07-02

1t comes to voting, what ID the result
What was the result on the fugitive slave
law? Only three Of these northern Wings
refused to vote with the Free Soilers-ev-
cry man, except three, voted against exc
cutting the compact made by the States in
the constitution.
Which party at the north, then, shall the
south look to for peace and tranquility
the Wings, every man in the last house ex.
cept three, voting against them, or the
Democratic party, which is the same stthe
north as at the south-the same in 1851 a.
i'm 1914 and 1913? The Wings have al
ways been in faAor Of resistance to any Law
|distasteful to sectional feelings, whether It
were q Law for giving toCesar the things
tina. are Cessr's, in the shape Of specie to
government for its revenues, or in that Of
servant to his master. Have We
mot had "the ten.cent rebellion % well Is
the fugitive slave rescue? Have wa not all
heard Abbott Lawrence pronounce this goy-

e:ned country on the face Of Gods earth.

Who stood by the laws 10 those days? Not
Wing. Law and order with them means
obedience when they choose to obey, or to
dictate obedience to others.

pie, and not floating without rudder or com-
pass on the sea Of e~xPsdiency. II is the
only party that can be relied upon for broad
national principles that protect equally
north and south, and reject all sscsionalism
of every kind and nature, whether in the f.
|%nancial policy Of the government or in our
internal and domestic regulations. Tied
down by openly avowed principles, the
country knows where to look for support
and aid in the day Of Danger and in the hour
of trial and imminent peril. Every Wing
administration, since John Q. Adams, hes
been forced to look to the Democratic par
by to help it through its task Of governing
the country; and every such administration
has shown that it had confidence in the pa
triotism, the honor, and the fsithfulness to
its professions of the Democratic party
What a tribute of praise is this to the truth
and permansncy Of our principles! But it
is tha fact that they are principles, firmly
fixed and specially defined, that gives us
our strength to benefit the country, wheth-
|er we be in power or out Of power. That
party that cannot save the country when il
liz out ofpoweF, a. well as guide it to pros.
aud renoW0 when Il Ellis ell the posts
Of honor with iis " adherents,is not wor-
thy the name ofa party;it is q factions col
lection Of shreds and patches-it 10 no child
of American parantage;itm may serve the ends
of those who want place, but it is no bene-
factor to u country or to mankind.
Shall the integrity ofsueh q party as ours
be jeeparded? Shall vein an hour Of weak
ness, sully its virtue? Or rather, shall we
shaw our own want Of virtue BY deserving
and turning our backs on that party that a.
mong the faithless is ever faithful found?
Let every Democrat-let every friend
to the Union rally then, to the support Of
the Democratic candidate. Let those who
have been erring or inactive, once more
place themselves in a position where they
can act with the glorious Democracy Of The
Union in good faith, ip full confidence, and
with those fratsrnsl feelings that should
bind together men who mean to benefit the
country, from love Of country, and from a
determination to omit no sacra6ce to render
its progress as certain rs it will be glorious.
Do not be deceived with the idea that mere
force can maintain our Union or insure its
blsssings,or the equally false notion that the
present possession of Office gives aparty the
control Of sfairs,or the power Of rendering
that benefit to the country which is the dear
est aspiration Of evsryD Democratic heart
The only strong foundation for rsa. power,
for moral :orcs in the country, whethsr 10
or out Of Office, is respect for the Armnsss
Of our principles, and confidence il our IN
waveing fidelity. The only salvation for
the Union Is the fraternal ELECTION Of the
people.
's.Nsver for a moment believe that the
|srend. body Of the citizens Of any State or
States eau deliberately intend to do wrosg."
Such is Jsckson's advice to Us. 1.-THE
|founda ton Of the Union must be laid In the
|fraterpsl attachments which the citizens Of
the several States bear to one another, o.
