lConiinned from Grst nane !

States, prostrating the guarantees of the
constitution, and tearing down the re-
naming pillars of our republican edifice,
where should the Democratic party be
but within the sacred precincts, fighting
down the foe? While the lust of North
ern domination and free-soil propaganda
ism is driving the chariot of sectional
power over the remains of the constitu-
ton, TO what should the Democratic
party cling but to those affairs, reared by
the founders of the republic? If it be
true to the constitution and steadfast in
the faith of the fathers, let it bind itself
to the horns of the altar; and as the
angel descended to rescue the son of the
patriarch even from the uplifted knife,
SO may the genius of the land stoop down
to rescue it from the cleaning dagger Of
the fusion cohorts
