party of the State of New York elected
Mr.. Polk President of the United States,
who achieved brilliant results during his
administration. In 1916 that party took
its position in reference to the extension
of slavery over free territory, and they
have adhered to it from that time to this.
1t has, too, one peculiarly, and that is ii
has the courage to protect those who
come to them from other parties There
never was, in this respect, so liberal an as,
sociation as the Democratic party. It is
curious to look back upon the men who
have come over to us from other parties
and the extent to which they have been
honored. I need only mention sucl
names as-J ohm Q. Adams, Ambrose Spen.
Ger, Chief Justice Taney, who were pro,
noted by the democratic party to the
highest stations within its gift, evenahove
older and perhaps better leaders in tht
Democratic cause.
On the other hand, look at the party o
our opponents. Take the case of any
democrat you can think Of who has gone
over to the whig and federal ranks, ant
you will find that his course has been on,
of uniform ruin. AS long as he is usefu
he is used, but the moment he ceases tt
be useful he is cast aside. No man wa
more emphatically the idol of the demo
cratic party, than Mr. Clay, during tn,
war, and his whole life previous. In on,
hour he threw away all that popularit,
and strength, and joined the whig or fed
eral party. Again, in lS4S, when ou
