From letter to another democratic paper New Hampshire dated
January 20, lS4s.
The truth is the wings were at loss for ammunior
with which TO carry their opposition against the AL
ministraton Hence, most unfortunately as they will
vet find il will prove to themselves, ii not to our com
country they all at once hit upon the project Of on
posing their government and advocating the can
of the Mexicans In this most unrghteous and treason
able they actively but 10 common reason
il would seem, blindly engaged Let them go on But
let democrats and every who claims TO be WORTHY
the of republican stand by their country

The National Whig the Taylor organ in this Wash

This is certainly very frank admission There i no
doubt but that e the wings in minority in tbe
Union and there is quite little doubt that thcy ac
destined to remain in the minority
That the wings expect to carry the election only hv
some unfair manruvre nothing is more apparent sinc
they acknowledge themselves in minority. It behooy
the democrats therefore, TO be the alert that they NJ
not deceived all is safe Y they but remain firm and
united

If there ever time when the democratic party hads
right TO calculate upon certain triumph at the ballot
boxes, that time is the present Its principles are now

admirably to answer the purpose intended and claimed

war,usuay the time Of panic hardship and distress
our country has gone ON in the even tenor OF its way
without the slightest check TO its prosperity This fact
of ITSELF speaks volumes in favor of the democratic ad

With reference to all the old issues which divided te
federal OF whig and democratic parties, is not the demo
cratic party triumphant? Were it otherwise think YOU
the opposition would have seized upon the Nebraska
measure, know-nothngism, and the like, by Of
which hoist themselves into power which they have
repeatedly shown they incompetent TO hold Never
Why then should democrats suffer themselves to be de-
ccvcd Their old enemy, ever ready to assume new
shapes as well names, would make bugbcar Of
the Kansas and Nebraska measure and that for other
purpose than to frighten honest democrats and draw them
into the federal ranks. Why, what is this Nebraska law
about which there has been such fuss kicked upi The
principles of this law precisely the principles for which
our sires fought in the revolution namely, he right g
safgorcraDient.
But beyond all this cannot resist the conviction that
great good has been done in doing away with the Mis-
souri, line If we, of this republic really PEOPLE
what do we want of any such line We have the warn
ing Of Thomas Jefferson that
"a geographical line coincding with marked prnci
ple moral and political conceived and held up to
the angry passions Of men, will never be oberacd and
every new irritation will mark it deeper and deeper
Let be content, therefore, that the Missouri restic
tion repealed and long, when the noise shall have
s,sdcd and the smoke disappeared, am confident We
shall all behold it for the best.

From letter to the Portland Argus, October IS 1851
The election Of Mr.. Buchanan may be regarded
certain and there will be decided democratic majority
in the House OF Representatives What will the democ
racy of Maine do viii those who have been de.
ccived into the support of their old enemy come
back to the democratic ranks
Generally they have been democrats supporting the
and measures of the national democratic party Of the
counrythat party which, from the first has given laws
to and governed this great and prosperous nation; and
unwilling, honest they are in their con
vctions to them throw themselves rrcvocaby into
the ranks of the opposition in this important crisis
mans irmness and stability tried only by exaor
nary occasions The metal of the sailor is not tested on
placid waters, but only upon the rolling and boisterou
deep.
The democratic party is passing through one Of
these storms, and it behooves all true friends of that
party and of the Union to stand firm 1t passed tri
umphanty through similar trial under the admnistra
ton of Jefferson particularly with reference to the Lou
isiana purchase under jackson, regards internal i'm.
provements and the United States Bank under Van
Buren,, with reference to the independent treasury and
under Polk in regard to the admission of Texas and tho
Mexican war To all honest democrats who hesitate
therefore, would had the opportunity say, have We
not every encouragement to believe that triumph viii

shall be allowed to choose for themselves what their local
institutions shall be- This matter settled, VIII

As to the presidential candidates it is not for to in.

hopeless condition.. Look too at the leading support
ers of the republican candidate and observe under who's
control and direction he would be II elected Are they

it possible that any true democrat hesitate to support

democratic party on this great occasion OF trial ana o
