against the new fanacsm is fully rcalized can therefore
have and will have connexon direct indirect with
any secret political organization The whole spirit Of de-

the composition of the democracy. tits the bodness and
the publicity of the Of the democratic
render them mpregnabe against the assaults Of secret
foes and prove beyond doubt that they necessarily and
primarily sincere
Thus it is that in the midst Of excitement like that
which accompanies such that we are now
considering, it is wholesome reflection to know that
there is great powerful and undauntcd party whose
ture and whose duty is nsncvely and spontaneously,
to oppose all sectional bgoted proscrpve and fanacal
combinations
