THE ULTIMATE TRIUMPH OF DEMOCRATIC MEAS
URES AND MEN.
Whenever the democratic party has lost ground 1t has
done SO from its fearless and uncompromng adherence TO
principle and this has been the great truth THAT HAS
MADE EVERY DEFEAT BUT REsTINa-rLAcE FOR
APPROACHING VICTORY The very measures under which We
prosper at present into existence amid of
abuse threats of violence and prediction of national
throw Many democrats may think that the Nebraska bill
has been abused and ased by the wings unparal
leled degree 1t is mistake The infamous Greeley who
would tomorrow break up the Union without if
he could, coarse indecent profane, and
vulgar in his abuse of the tariff of s46 His assaults upon
Secretary Walker George Dallas and all Others in favor
of that great measure in the last degree coarse
luminous, and reckless. He and his parssns-the same
that help him fill up the crazy cry against Ne
braska President Pierce, and Judge Douglasthought
that Pennsylvania and other States to be ruined
outright and declared that all who had brought about
this anticipated ruin should be hung in advance of the
catastrophei So much for the tariff Of ls46. But the
same slanderers carried their abuse to the fghfu
against the Independent treasury law and all
who favored and their against the opposition to
the Bank of the United States distinguished for its vio
ence and vuperaon The reormers who stood by these
great measures were often denied the attributes of human
beings and more than threatened with assass
nation. Coporteurs strong women, thread-bare
lecturers purchased newspapers and bribed legislators
made the wekin ring to speak, with anathemas and
of the democratic party because of its
these General Jackson then conspicuous in
the advance of party leaders, denied by inflated priests
into heaven and other democrats were con-
signed the most fiery depths of hell Who does not rec
ollect it? Who does not recall it, And yet of these
days think all this terrible affair." and believe nobody
ever was abused like Jackson and his friends and disciples
But that is mistake soo Jefferson long before jackson
prescribed hunted down by federal sanderers and
by every wretch that onged for British gold and they did
not hesitate to mpugn his good name and to Islander his
persona, character. Anybody fond of federal prophecies
and DESTROYS of contrasting them with the results has only
to 20 back during Mr. eersons term and read the speech
of Josiah Quincy against the acquisition Of Louisana and
he will read there the model predictions and abuse now
initiated by Greeley and other agitators and knaves in
New England and New York. The practice is half CEN
tury old and it has been improved upon since it be-
gan.
Democrats need not think therefore, that Nebraska is
more attacked than other democratic measures OF that
General Pierce assaulted than his democratic prede-
This would be great honor but it is not reserved
for Of the present day.
Nebraska will however be vindicated, like other demo-
cratic measures and General Pierce will come in for the
final penitcnce and praise of the very demagogues who
now recall with PAIN and recommend with gladness the
measures and they SO free to abuse This
will complete the history and the poetic justice of the con-
frast How is the record
The federasts that detained and rallied against the
acquisition of Louisiana yielded amid deep contrtion to
its glorious results;
The wings that stained history with their calumnes OF
Jackson now chant praises to his memory Add to these
The enemies of the democratic opposition to great
hank;
The friends of bankrupt law
The malignant opponents of the tariff of 1916;
The opponents of the Independent treasury law;
The assaans of the annexation of Texas and the ncqu
sition of California;
The foes of our last with Mexico;
The abolition adversares Of the compromise measures
All of these foes of the democratic party, and all the
most abandoned INSCRIPTIONS and calumnions assaants
Of every democratic President from Jefferson to Pierce
now rebuke themselves by their silence in the face of the VIC
torious yndcation of the they approved
else publicly acknowledge their errors by appaudng hat
which they can no longer misrepresent
The Nebraska bill is the last of the series and Franklin
Pierce il the most recent horror of OPP
position The future win prove the adversaries OF
ench have been as insane and cruel those they m-
tate the sequel will be in harmony with the repeated ae
feats of federalism The future Will prove tbht the
list is complete till whiggery and abolition have con-
fessed the nfamy of their sehoods upon President Pierce
and the guilt of their frauds upon the American people IN
regard TO the Nebraska bill.
