The Democracy OF THE NoRIu.-Thc real
Democracy is the same in every part Of the
Union. The principles which actuate them
are the same everywhere and point to the
same conclusions. Those who do not fully
understand and appreciate the difficulties
which the Northern Democracy encounter.
cannot readily apprehend what the North
ern Democrats have to contend with.
when resisting the progress Of fanaticIsm
The South boldly contend for rights which
their State constitutions guaranty and the
national comp act recognizes upon the sub
lect OF slavery. The Democracy, and. indeed
all parties there. assent TO the rights thus
asserted. At the North every enemy OF the
Democracy, whether Black Republican, or
Abolitionist, or Know Nothing, openly de-
nonnces the South and the Democracy OF
the North for sustaining Southern cons,itu-
tional rights In many States, by misrepre
sentation and skilful appeals 10 sectional
prejudces. these enemies of Democratic
principles have secured local control The
more energy exerted by Northern Demo
crat to secure the constitutional rights Of
the South as we'll as the North, the nore
cei tain is he to be the objec: Of combined
| assault. Some Of the most uniiinching and
| faithful men ever in the Democratic ranks
have fallen at the hands Of sectionalists
Their devotion to the principles Of the con
stitution, and their rights recognized and
guaranteed by it, was the sole cause of
| their defeat When We consider these
things We cannot but admire the dey otion
of the Northern Democracy in their. ssai-
sacrifice at home to preserve and uphold
the principles Of the constitution through
out the Union. Our Southern friends may
reflect upon these things, nor should they
overlook che Inst that notwithstanding ail
these advssAs circumstances, there were ct
