indeed 10 every of his country and wei-wsher OF
the democratic organization 70 see 'he uhotoneh ana u
ted front which the latter presents all over the Union TO
i,s opponents with the single exception OF the State OF
New York late reyerses have purified the party Of
lis corup.men and those who remain are true as steel
and firm as ad3uant Never the democratic force IN
n more healthy condition than now ana never od us In
domibe masses occupy prouder or more glorious po-
sitlon All around them Is political chaos and conIason
the nteminabe Babel OF Gscorant wrangne and niser
able factions No great CENTRAL weldehned idea or prin
cpe suslns the varying hosts OF The opposition inefe
the black republicans, the know-nothlng the oidne
wings the disappointed renegade democrats ana other
component divisions of opposition which have almost as
little affinity with each other as with their common an
agonsts the democrats Greed OF the spos and hatred OF
the only constitutional national party existing sometimes
them fuse, but they return 70 the field Of d
vision and strife They actuated by no common i'm
pulses motives but each faction takes the hue and
courts the preudces Of some small locality or particular
They cannot begin to act 10 unison and harmony
upon the nhtiona theatre for there is nothing broad or
liberal in any OF their organizations
But the democracy national and harmonious.
From Maine to Louisiana and Indiana to California; they
profess the political creed, which, being founded in
eternal truth, suits well degree OF latitude as
another Scoring to obtain victory at any sacrifice of
principle they repel The idea of any union alliance with
any segment OF that do not stand the democratic
platform They pursue the onward straightforward
course without regard to the numbees and factions
that rise like upon the political sea. The democratic
organization, being the exponent of positive and arma-
tive principles, declares open and hostility against all
others Our political opponents even cannot but admire
the consistency and dignity which the democratic party
evnces In its resolute determination to stand fall by It's
principles To aboltionism acknowledged, and the
numberless forms of political that have grown out
of the parent stock OF old federalism it gives the gage OF
defiance United firm compact body, the democracy
look to the future with aprehenslons OF the result
they certain triumph the Tags and ends OF par
ties that arrayed in opposition. As the presidential
campaign approaches the advantages of unity and
political creed clearly apparent to our adj
yersaries
The by which they their local victories be-
elements Of weakness in national contest while our
fidelity and devotion TO principle to be rewarded with
grand national triumph AS the intense excitement and
herco passions of the last two years which have distn-
gushed politics gradually subsiding cool reflection
convnces the public that that organization which, al
though tried it were, by fire. yet remained true and
faithful 10 its ancient landmarks and upheld sernly the
principles of civil and religious liberty well as the in
egrity of the Union when both rnthessy assaled
by envenomed factions Is the one after ALL which is worthy
OF their support The ranks of the democratic party
steadily increasing in numbers for The intelligence
and patriotism Of the land clearly perceive that it ID the
great rampant OF the constitution which rolls back the dis
conted hosts OF error seeking to snhvert il Such il the
unity Of the democratic party the living vitality of its
Creed that 1t s certain to all the forms of
son buried in that grave of the past which is the eeep
tacle of federalism whgsm and other fossil and
factions which contested supremacy. Nothing is
more sure TO happen and the presidential election Of
year will very likely its accomplishment To dem
ocratc friends them say be OF good eheerthe clouds
disappearing from the political sky, and the of vic
tory will soon brilliantly illuminate path
