ga
/ ha Weplace at the head of our columns
this week, the Democratic electoral ticket
for President and Vice President, nominal
ed by the Convention which assembled at
jackson on the 9Th of January last
In thus endorsing the proceedings, and
supporting the nominees, of that convention,
we act from the dispassionate dictates Of our
sober Judgment, as to what is best for the
country as whole, and especially for that
section in which our otis cast.
nthe first place, we know of no safer pol
icy upon which to administer the affairs of
the country than that of strict construction
of the constitution, and the jealous abnega-
ton Of all powers, not plainly set forth in its
language. This is the radical doctrine of the
Democratic party, and finds a cordial response
in our faith,
In accordance With the above We believe
that the administration Of the government
should be limited to those few general OBJ
jeets for which it was created, relating chiefly
to foreign intercourse, and thatthe local and
domestic interests of the country should be
left, where the constitution leaves them, to
the care Of the States.
These are the cardinal truths, which unite
the democracy throughout the Union, and
/ which have always formed the basis If thor
national organization. It's in itself strong
and natural bond Of Union, aud in the alb
senee of questions Interior to the constitution
defines national party opposed to the i'd
vocates of implied and unlimited discretion
in the government. Such is the natural de-
mocracy, which always has, and always must
exist, however vitiated it may become at
times by selfish and sectional influences
AS long as this Union lasts, such party
must exist It ferns IN fact a strong tic
for the pcrpotuity of the Union, by forming
E strong league for its integrity,
t So much for the national democracy, re
deems as it is, by such names as Buchanan
5 Dickinson, Dallas, Stockton and others, VII,
have brayely fought the battles ofthe Soutl
upon the very ramparts of abolitionism, anc
who have proved to the South, that while
assailed by the whole of one northern party
and deserted bya portion of the other, shY
! still has friends with whom she may safel,

e In the Southern Democracy reprcsente,
: BY the ticket We hoist to-day, we believe tn
!, interests of the South, and the dcstinics 0
Q the Union, find their best, if not exclusiv
g eonscrvators. It's the true Union party
because holding to that apostolic faith upo1

i because opposed to the continuance of tia
