Not voter in three, in this state has ever read
the Free Democratic Platform and compared it
with the Baltimore platforms. Probably not one
i'll ire has done it. How can we expect they will
be converted to our principles, without hearing
what those principles arc? But they can learn
them only through the Free Democratic Press
The Wing presses, since the conversion of the
Party to slavery, at Baltimore, have been dumb
on the subject of Freedom and the Democratic
presses have preached downright DcspotiSm and
have advocated slavery and Slavc-catChing, as es-
sential to Rcpl:bcanism. They have snccred at
all attempts to vindcatc the Constitution from the
rcproach OF being an Instrument of Oppression,
or TO resclW the administration Of the Government
from the control of opprcsSors.
