mover fanny party advocate those rights
so5oldly as the Democratic party did az

from Virginia 70 California, the Demo-
eracy planted themselves boldly. on the

1 Rights Of the South under that Constitu-

No. On the contrary, they took the buD
by the horns and proclaimed publicly

preserved by giving to every State its full
Constitutional Rights. In a word; the
