OF the Government GEGePt IN 80 I as tl I1 rrr
sent its opinions and express its views.
1t will not be ambitious to commend itself to the
people by blind iatcry of their rulers. 1t will seek
public support by the bold avowal of the sentiments
which common TO the genuine Democracy OF the
Union and by the condemnation OF all such as may
conflict with them from whatever quarter they may
come will seek be (aud it will endcGvor to de-
serve the titc) the organ of the Democratic party of
The Sentinel will maintain, as n fundamental truth
of that great party that the States formed the Union
between them by the ratification of the Constitution
as a compact by which also they created the Fedora!
Government and delegated TOT it, as their common
agent the powers expressly specified in II, with an
explicit reservation of all others to the States or 10
their separate governments. The exercise OF any
powers beyond those thus delegated il therefore an
surpaton of the reserved authority Of the States by
the agent of their own creation.
The Sentircywiil uphold and defend the Union upon
the basis of the riTht5 OF the Stncs-undcr the consul
uon-and thus by srdulously guarding the latter it
will the more cflcctually strengthen and Perpetu"te
with Regard to the exercise of the powers of the
Federal Government, the Sentinel will take as the
ruciDlcs Of its action that mrcss shall exercise
power which has not been delegated by the Constitu-
ton, according to a strict and fair Interpretation OF
its language and spirit; and that it shall not seek to
attain indirectly object through the exercise of
constitutional g0tcer for the direct attainment OF winch
it has delegation Of PoCa. In other words, all pow
exercised luust be clearly granted adn ali granted
powers must be used for purpose except such rs is
clearly intended by the Constitution.
In respect to the internal administration of the
Government the Sentinel viii sustain the settled poll
cy of the Democratic party. 1t will labor TO incucae
this cardinal doctrine Of Democratic internal policy
that this Government viii best promote the freedom
and prosperity of the people of the States by being
less ambitious exercise power and more anxious TO
preserve Hbcrty and by leaving to the individual
States the management Of all their domestic concerns
while contents itself with guarding the COnlcdCracy
from external violence and directing The foreign pol
icy of the country to the promotion Of the common
rights and honor fthe States composing it,
The Sentinel will advocate such progressive foreign
policy will suit itself to the cXigcncics and cores
That policy should be energetic and decided; but
should temper rmncss with libcrnlity, and make it's
highest ends consist with the sriccs principles of
Justice The real interests of the country upon each
occasion demanding attention Will be its guide in the
course the Sentinel viii pursue.
The national policy Of the world in this age IS cz
scutialy aggressive In the growing sense Of weak

ambitious rcstlcsncss Of others, common motive to
colonial extension has developed itself.

sion so full OF hope, though lodcu with response

Confcdcracy the harbi2gcr of peace to the world as

The Sentinel will, therefore, advocate bold and
