COL. NKLsoS ON THE PAST HISTORY or THE DEMO-
CRATIC PARTY.
Atho' Il is cheeTfully conceded that the masses OF
the people, who compose the different parties, are
equally honorable intelligent and patriotic, it cannot
be successfully controverted that Democratic leaders
have brought US TO the very verge OF dissolution
OF the Union. Why is it that the people Of Ten
nessee have defeated them in every Presidential
election oT the last twenty years. Abandoning, as
party, the cherished doctrines upon which Gen.
jackson was elevated to power, they run Mr.. Van
Buren,, In 1885, and sac, as "a NorfAerR man eih
SotfherR principles" and altho' il charged, In
both Of those contests, that bis votes, member
Of the Convention 10 amend the constitution OF
New York proved him to be abolitionst, this
was sturdily denied; honest and patriotic were
deuded into bis support, aud Southern Democrats
PLAYED into the hands OF Northern AbolilOnists by
giving him their support in two contests for the
Presidency. The Abolition cause, feeble, and inn
potent al first Was strengthened by the alliance
and Mr. Van Buren, himself verified the truth Of all
that had been said and published against him by
becoming the Abolition candidate Tor President In
ls4s.
In is44 and ls4s, the Platforms Of the Demo
cratic party artfaIy avoided the only question vital
10 the Interests Of the South by simply declaring that
Congles had no power 20 interfere with slavery In

that scarcely any Black Republican, no matter hos
