action of corrected public opinion TO render justice at the
time them and to that constitution which is based
upon equality in all things Meanwhile the adopted citizens
will look ON and act for themselves We cannot doubt
their whatever that may be the Of
the democratic party win not be changed Their separate

its adjuncts may seek TO deceive them the hand
and the other encourage their worst eneme but the
democratic party viii perform its entire duty it has
always done, without looking to the right the left
hand and without counting the loss gain If it falls in
the contest truth falls and truth be wholly
stroyed the democracy cannot be always beaten
