clples OF National policy, which have distin-
guIshe the various republican adrninslra-
lions of The general government since its
first organization; and we believe that the
continued prosperity, greatness, and glory of
the Republic are intimately, connected with,
and largely dependent upon the Incubation
and prevalence. of Democratic principles.
and democratie lule in national affairs. .. ~

The success OF the Democratic candidate tor
President, al the approaching election, as in
dispensable 10 The best interests OF our com
