Eaton Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1843-1856, 1854-11-16
Ously for the Democracy. Perhaps we are a

rousiy for the Democracy. Perhaps we are q {
little mistaken, by falsehoOd and misreptesen-
.%tation, many were induced to believe that, q
the Nebraska Bill legislated slavery into The y
territories, and that it was but The entering !
wedge TO our becoming a nation Of slsye-hold-
ers! The principles laid down in the Nebras-
ka bill, as we understand thtm, are those to
which the people of this country SiH come,
before six years roll around. For our own
part, ''sink or swim, I've or die, survive orper-
ish," we are willing to risk all upon the prin-
ciple that, the people Of any State or Territory,
shall have the right to say what kind Of laws
they will have for their owngovernmsnt, pro-
vided they do not conflict with the %constitu-
ton Of the United States, and that in this
country and age, no measure should be regard
ed as a y%tinulity, $50 far we agree with the Free
SoilerS.)
The recent elections demonstrate one fact
clearly and beyond cavil, which is the Demo-
cratic party, though il may have been wesk-
ened by assertions and defeated by unholy al
~liances, yet, it has preserved its existence sep
crate and distinct, and asserted positively its
nationality and love Of principles, and given
evidence strong as holy writ, that, when the
alliances formed against it, dissolves, as dis.
solve they must, the democracy will control the
affairs Of the nation, and lead US on 10 future
prosperity and greatness. Let no man imsg-
inc the Democratic party is dead. Whoever
does so, deceives himself. II is the only par
ty now in existence-th only oreanizationlay-
ing claim to principles, and although il is de-
feated, triple armed, it will rise from Inc ashes
of defeat, and hurl from power the usurp-rs,
t who have by faIsehood and deception, sue
ceeded for the present, in wrestling from the
: hands Of the true friends OF republicanism, the
democracy, the law making power Of the Ma
I ton, and gave it 10 the representatives OF every
, ~fanatical ism which convulsed this country, and
y threatened US with dissolution. We shall
triumph! Our principles and measures have
S 'ecured unto the people of this country pros
e perity and happiness unexampled in the histo-
0 ~ Of nations: Democracy has caused US to
+, be respected at home and abroad, and when
e the policy of this nation is not squared by the
: rule Of democracy, then will the hour Of he'll
y dissolution have arrived, and such a scene as
= will ensue, the world never looked upon, and
never may again Let us endeavor 10 pelpet-
e uate the BLESSINGS we enjoy, so that when the
millennium morn dawns, our glorious inheri
S lance may be enjoyed by those who witness
t that great revolution upon earth. But, it il
only by remaining true 10 the prime Piles Of de,
C mocrncy, that we can hope 10 give unto pos
e te.ity, and transmit 10 our children the birth
e right which VT possess. Let us therefore, as
democrats-as lovers Of the Union-as State
v Right men, IA lily round orr banner Of a thou
