of agitation and of trial. the element that opposes the
constitution will surrender its fierce hatred OF
that bond of our Union than the democratic party will

The Republic tries TO prove its accusation against the
democratic party by quoting instances of former individual
opposition to democratic nationality among those now

it has accomplished is before the whole world, the Re-
public seeks to decry those who have stood by it

aspssions against them, because certain gentlemen
heretofore against the national action of the democra

intention to support Pierce and King. The Republic
might as well rail at the fathers of the constitution or
the sgners OF the Declaration OF Independence, be-
cause, before their great work was done, some OF them
had doubted the proprety OF it.
