where near coming to the point Now, sir it to
me the way should go is plain as the road to MILL
Is this Democratic meeting And all Democrats?
That's the question. If all Democrats then Of
course all want Democratic President and we ought
to fix ourselves that point and not be hooking round
for any other nails to hang hats Therefore,
move that instruct Delegate Baltimore vote
for candidate for President that is stanch Democrat
and in favor of all sound Democratic principles.
Chairman. Are you ready for that question? If that
is your minds, gentlemen please
Solomon Jones. Mr.. Cheerman oppose that motion,
and before it's put want to know what sound Demo
cratic principles. want to know if abolition is one
of EN-?
Bin johnson And want to know if slavery is one
of EN-?
Sargent Joel And want to know if Russias tramplin
down Hungary is one of emf
John Robinson And / want to know if Cuba is one
of 'em
Deacon Snor. Mr.. Chairman, as there seems to be
some confusion and misunderstanding about Democratic
principles, and there don't be much chance Of
doing any thing till these settled move that
Squire Downing, venerable Chairman, shall make
plain full statement to this meeting all the sound De-
anu then we snail nave something TO
go by.
This seconded all round and Uncle Joshua color
ing little laid his specs on the DESK and got up out
Of his chair |
Chairman Gentlemen and Democrats As for the Dim
mocratic principle, view it is very important should
have fair understanding Of it, for it is the vital principle
Of the party, and without it can't hold together In
the old Ginerals time if my memory right,
we had three principles to go by the Bank and
one the Tariff, and tother was Internal Improve
mens That to say, them the principles had to
fight agin Them the Wig principles and the De-
mocratc principle to fight agn the three Wing prn
cples And long stuck to that beat and got
the Offices But the science of politics has advanced
good deal in these latter years. since the GnePs time,
and many principles crowded in heller SHELTER
that get kind Of confused and mixed up don't think
they do any good Some of these principles instead
Of holding together to be pretty likely blow
apart like gunpowder But the good old jackson prin-
cipes work tother way they hold together like wax
and give the Offices Therefore think we aay safely
say go agn the Bank, go as;- tne Tariff, ard we
90 sgn Internal improvements. And think our Dele
gate to Baltimore should be instructed to stand that
platform. ~ a
BIZ johnson. move that we amend that platform by
adding that go agin slavery
Solomon Jones. move, Mr. Cheerman that we amend
t by adding, that go agin abolition.
Sargent Joel move that we amend IL by adding that
we go agin Russia.
