The Moral Of the Great Victory.

Whatever speculatlons may entertain with gard 10
the which led 10 this unprecedented demc"ratc
victory, there is truth which shines clear enough
through all the fog and haze of party conflicts and that is
the masses, whenever anything like party issue
be made, confde chiefly in the democratic party When
the battle is between the democratic and the wing
idea the people rush to the democratic standard
1t has been the policy OF the wings, therefore, leave
their principles in the backe ground, and rush their
ddaes ahead under the of whatever noise and
element they could get up 10 bewllder and deude the
people Hard cider and cooa-skns the implements
OF whg in the election OF General Harrison The
people cheated, and they forward at the end
Of four years and threw the whg specuaiors and money
changers out oil power. Then the wings had resort
gain 10 their old device OF hiding their principles and
running their candidate in glory. But the people bad
been cheated by glory, and it therefore, found
necessary 10 devise yet another trap TO catch the masses
and General Taylor held up peoples candi-
date. And he was elected President OF the United States
through the false petences that he was "no party man
but he allowed himself 10 be called the ''people's
man., standing up there on some high, broad PLATFORM
far above the mere Inrgucs and paralties OF party
tics The American people generous people, and such
idea vbraed their heart from one end OF the
land the other and with such other gunpo WIDER glory
as they could invest the candidate with, he came
into his office with such racket Of lin horns and
bonfres never heard this side of pandemonium
before The staunch and tried wings IN the first place.
were forced reluctantly 10 swallow his nomination il
bitter pill and which the better portion OF the
party took with extreme reluctance The "people"
everywhere felt well but beth parties TO extent
dismayed, for the politicians Of both parties that
"he people" determined to try their hands and
what they could do. They tired enough Of The
everlasting ding dong about Irrational banks" 'hgh
tariffs" slow tariffs" protective tariffs" and all the
hacked and rused swords OF former party conflicts, and
without any platform whatever they rushed wildly into
the campaign for the peoples man"
The result Of this general "no-party issue" of
temporary severing Of the party bonds OF beth
wings and democrats Old elements of quarrel
easily available in both parties and the GLORIOUS
of the people, enough 10 being glorious
destruction OF both parties and of the Union. The "peo
pie" everywhere disappointed in this general n-psn
and orchlght party training, and at length have
shown an nvincible determination to come back and
train again under their old banners.
The nomination of General Scott the third time OF
trying the old device 10 cheat the people. But the peo
pie had learned TO beware OF the third time The Har-
ri.on stampede failure the Taylor mo party ad
mnisiration than failure for il resulted in
nothing bu, mbecD and Galphinisms; and now the
have risen up 10 their might and placed the de-
mocrats in power by unprecedented majority They
have tried the wings faithfully, glory and all, and they
will trust them no longer
