Tks Democratic Party, and the Great
ness and Glory Of the Country.
We find the following in the ChillicOt

ness and Glory Of the Country.
We find the following in the ChillicOthG
GoSeHc, of the LIST inst:
"a GREAT OBJ BLow.-Judge Myers
in his speech accepting the nomination for
Lieut.. Governor, claimed that 'for what
ever Of greatness and glory this country
had acquired, il vas indebted 10 the Dem
%ocra,ic party" Now, if that is not a
COOLING specimen of arrogance, we can
no, saw that we ever met with one. II is
rather AHEAD of anything in that line, ex'
lan,. Just think of il, the Democratic par
ty-lhat never had any principle or meas
IRE but opposition to the principles and
measures Of the Wings, and whose sole
aim has been the "spoils,' and whose his
tory is nothing but one of clAmors and
scrambles for ollice-this negative unpnn-
cipled, Office seeking l%ocofoco party-has
blessed this country with oil the greatness
and glory which ithas ever Ell j'yed. 1t
really a matter of establishment how men,
like Myers, can SC completely disregard
truth, so wanlonly pervert history, as 10
make such statement"
Our good friend Otway Curry, who
edits The Gazette, is a poet, and with
much execiable stuff has was written some
good verse; hut never, we believe, sensi'
Bile prose: Profoundly ignorant OF the po'
Iiticl history of the country, we doubt
not he believes others lgaorani as himself.
That to the Democratic party the re.
public is indebted for sll its greatness and
glory, is a fact that the school boy knows,
as he reads its history. Had the Democ-
racy been aciualed by the miserable spirit
which nnw-and ever has actuated the
wing party-our government would have
had lis boundaries defined by the same
narrow limits that bound the old thirteen
colonies. Under Jefferson, the Demoera'
cy acquired the mouth Of the MIss!ssp
pi, and The noble extent of Territory nov
known as the Louisiana purchase, and
( which sweeps from the Gulf of Mexico
t, the Pacific Ocean. 1t was acquired By
the Democratic party, against the fierce
onslaughls of the federal forces.
In 1919, the Democracy acquired ilorl'
da, ana extended our poSsesSi"'S on ''e
Gulf coast, and that too was gained against
the fiercc onslaushls OF Federalism.
