The democracy must resume its true and
proper ascendency in the administration of
the government. And we shall do so, with
nominees worthy of our support, and Of the
confidence Of the country-honorablc and
faithful men, whose past lives are the best
guarantees Of future fidelity. Recent dis
sensions are happily forgotten, and the con-
test now is, not who is right, or who is
wrong, but who will show most devotion to
our time-honored principles, and most zeal
in the election of the men by whose success
their stability will be assured. I have never
seen our party better united than it is at
