Ns TO the people and one which involves deeply our

So try owes its unexampltd prosperity and great
ness, TO the Inherent virtue and strength Of
democratic principles. Ont Of the sixty four
years, which the government has been admins
tered under its present organ cation, the demo
cratic party has administered il forty eight years
And for all the leading measures of public pol
ss8 ga icv which have reflected credit upon
r-r+s nation and which have conferred prosperity and
renawn upon country, endebted en-
ati tirely to the dem cratic party. During the
existence of the United States Bank and high,
duties, 1t is matter of history that the people
constantly subject TO fluctuations in the
commercial and financial afiairs Of the country.
The country was either flooded With paper
currency snpennducing ex'ravagance and
speculation, or depressed by bank contraction,
sae which inrar,ably brought with them disorder,
distress ana ruin. These ruinnus fluctuations
have always proved the legitimate fruits of whig
policy, and it's matter of pride to the demo
cratic party that since the lamented Andrew
Jackson, killed the old monster, the country has
been relieved from these periodical and PERM
cious money commissions. The democratic
ss. party commenced its career under the admins
