The Yazoo Democrat., 1854-04-19

A SOUND AND STRIKING FAcr.-It is a
wholesome reflection that every public man of
broad, comprehensive, AID practical charec.
ter, that has ever lived in this country, has,
sooner OF later, accepted and endorsed the
views of the democratic party upon the rights
of the States and the guarantees of the consti.
tuition. Wherever these principles have been
applied they have succeeded. As against the
anti-slavery crusade we have counted such
men as Clay, Calhoun, Woodbury., Webster,
Macon, Baldwin, and their contemp poraries
North and South; while at the present day,
not to name those who are the living advocates
of the same views, the same rule holds good
with singular correctness. This is the rule,
though there may be exceptions to it. Those
who differ from the rnle, and who yield to PEI
riodicnl political poroxysms,, are not the men
TO lead forlorn hope in the hour of peril, or
to defy the storm in its first fury.
