We Shall Triumph!

We Shall Triumph!
Revolutions in Nature, among nations and
men, are common occurrences, and are not
withou, their good results. All we enjoy in
civil and religious view, and the fruits OF
revolution. of the evils under which
mankind have groaned, arc traceabe to the
same cause, and we are at loss sometimes
to determine whether they have been pro-
ductiye Of more good than evil; but we have
now determined in our own mind, that good

over The political history 0. our country, We
note with pleasure the results of the revolu.
tlons which hurled from power the Go.hs
and Vandals who we're feasting upon the
'itHIssoi tho Nation, and placed in power the
Democracy, under the influence of whose
benign principles and reign, period rf
prosperity has been vouchsafed to the ooun
try, iaterraoted by but few reverses. and
those only produced when strange nfatua-
lion seized the people, and they lanciel =
change would place in the hands of every
one the Philosophers stone, whose touch
would turn everything to gold! This change
was secured, and waking from their dream
Of fancied glory, they found their visions
ta4c as the morning dew before the noon
Jay sun, and realized that, to agAiu secure
that prosperity which they cast away for the
shadow, they must return 10 democratic
men and measures. Thus has it been since
the formation of our government, and thus
vii! it be SO long as our nation has name
and place among the nations OF the earth.
Some people imagine, because the demo-
cratic party hes been defeated in It's repre-.
sentatIves in the late elections ia the sever
al states. thattherefere, it is dead! Nosuch
thins--it scarcely sleeps! The principles
of Democracy are hose Of Eserual Truth,
and will only expire when the Author of
Truth ceases to exist. Although some Of
those worshippiag Al its holy shrine, may
have become ukewarm, or wandered sf.er
strange gods, and Thereby suffered their
first loved principles to be troddyn in the
Sust, when their fond silly dreams are over,
they will return and renew upon the alter
of democracy their oaths Of hostility to ey-
form Of tyranny over the minds Of man, and
areyolaton will hurl from power the usur-
pers, and rei2state that party whose prnci-
PIES aud measures are the crowning glory
and the prosperity Of lhis country. The
democratic party dead! No, when it dies,
The fires Of liberty will BE- ex.ingushed in
The hearts Of American citizens-the dark
Raven of distress will utter his dismal croak
lngs throughout our now happy land, and
the light Of hope will expire in the hearts
Of the oppressed Of all nations. When the
Democratic party ceases to exist, anarchy
and warfars will unfurl their black banners,
and where now rules supreme. prosperity
and happiness, will reign adversity and mis-
ery-where now flow rivers Of milk and
honey, will roll seas Of blood and oceans of
carnage. When the principles of democ-
raey expire, and leave earth, then will the
Arch Angel stand with one foot upon the
sea. AMI the other upon the land, and de-
clare that time shall be no longer!
