sock the principle. From this subject the
speaker proceeded to discuss Know Moth
ingism. 1t was because the German and
Irish people, sick of taxation without rep.
resentation" in the old country, would not
vote for the Wing party here; but finding
respectable men belonging to true Demo
cratic principles, they said "Christ Jesus,
that's the party for me-" Laughter and
cheers.
1t was because they could not coax the
foreigners out of their votes, that they now
turned round with the child's story, of
Americans must rule America" What fol-
lyl Who else ruled it! He could demon.
strate by figures that it was necessary to
the prosperity of this country that foreign
ers should be encouraged to come among us.
1t was necessary to the South--it was nee
essary to the agriculturists of the West, it
was necessary to the manufactures of the
North. Whenever they undertook to ig-
more the principles which led forward Wash.
ington, they would fail as party and as a
nation. Turning to the question Of slavery,
he asked what had the South ever done to
cause the North to array Itself against her?
The South had stood by them in every diff
ficulty. The South asked the democratic
party to give them equal rights. Where
there was common territory they asked on
ly for the right to 90 there, equally with
the North When they fought in common
for new territory, had they not right to
equally enjoyit? Finally, he advised them
to unite, as party, to heal all differences;
to remember that the cornerstone of the
democratic party was ito do unto others as
they would be done by;"to love each other.
The South did not want to legslate slavery
into any place. For his part, be did not
care fig whether slavery extended or not.
But one thing was certain: Wherever sla-
very was profitable there it would be main
tanned and "all the abolitionists this side OF
hell" would not preventit. [Cheers.]

Cheers. What is Democracy 1t is the
elevation of the masses; it is the carrying
out and struggling of the humun mind for
the protection of the down-trodden all
around-because they are brethren. You
have been told that the Democratic party
is faction, and you have been told that
the purest and best men Of the Democratic
party were demagogues. You have been
told that Jefferson was demagogue. He
was one that in the dark days of our histo-
ry was selected to declare to the people of
Europe for what we contended, and he pen
ned in language that burned into the human
heart the Declaration of Independence, that
gave us our position in the world. ZAP

aGod bless Demagogues." The Democratic
party took possession Of this country when
they elected Jel1ereon, whose first act, al
most was to restore the right of those who
came upon our shores to share the privilege
of citizenship after fiveycars-a term which
John Quincy Adams had extended to four
teen years. The speaker went on to speak
of the history of tho Democratic party.
The mission of that party was to extend
the blessing of civil and religious liberty over
the whole ofths continent. When theques
ton came up whether we would take Texas
or allow England to maintain separate
Government there to annoy us, there shone
the beauty of Democratic faction, as some
called it, On that occasion in convention
