The true Democrat., 1856-12-02
The Great Democratic Victory.

When Know Nottingham, by it's secret ma chincry of oaths, grips and passwords, and its anti-American appeals to bigotry and prejudice, had made itself power in the land, its part- sans and trumpeters grasped at universal do- minion and proclaimed, with unequalled im- pudence, that the democratic party was dead that the old whig party also had ceased to exist, and that the American people, en masse, had enlisted under the standard of intolerance and persecution.
 So often and so pertnaciously were these as- sertions made and repeated, and hawkcd and peddled through the country by the by 10 organs and cone horse' orators of the new or der, that no little solicitude was felt by demo- crats as to the issue And that solicitude was strengthened thousand fold by the mad as Saults of the black republican party, aided in its warfare on democracy and the constitution by the disloyal course of southern Know Noth- ings. who refused to act with us, though know ing that our defeat would result either in the complete subugation of the south, or in dis union. Fortunately for the south, for the country, and for all mankind, the democracy have achieved a victory worthy of their cause, and the cohorts of " Sam'' and "Sambo" have suffered defeat due their heritical doctrines and unpatriotic aims.
 The party whose death and burial had been so insolently announced, has undergone most rlO onI 4lo rod for it has been deepened and widened for the reception of Know Nottingham black republi- cansm, and all the kindred isms and factions of the republic. Into that grave of oblivion and loathing the pestlent traitors of the north, and their sympathzers of the south, have been cast by the voice of the people They acted with and for each other in life, and in death should not be separated. The hope of all patriots should be and is, that their organi- zations and doctrines, and the memory of what they did and intended to do, shall be utterly forgotten. This result has been foreShadowed by the success of the democratic party, and will be fully accomplished by their administration
 
 at the helm, and the interests of the coun- try under his wise and patriotic guidance, con- plete and lasting peace will be given to the country, on the basis of the constitution as con- strued by the national democracy That con- struction always heretofore has stilIed the voice of discontent and hushed the clamors of faction, and it can do no less in the future. We do not be- ieve ourselves ultra-sanguine in predicting, as the effect of Mir. Buchanan's administration, the return of fraternal feeling between the north and the south, and the instalment of the "Gol- den Era" of our Union. This is the wish of the democratic party, and it will be the aim of their iIustrious chief, as President of the re- public, to accomplish what his friends desire, and what his lifetime services have contrihut- ed to. Nothing short of the renewal of secton- al strife, by Know Nothings and fanatics, under new auspices and with increased strength, can prevent what we predict and antcipate- The democracy have undertaken to place the peace of the country on firm and lasting foundation, and, so far as in them lies they will do what they have promised. In this un- dertaking they ask and will have the cordial support of all good men of all parties.
