WHAT is DiiEimocaAcY.'

Democracy represents the great princi.
pies of progress. tits onward and outward
10 its movements It!has heart for action
and motives for a world. 1t constitutes the
principle of diffusion and is to humanity
what the centrifugal force is,to revolving
orb of universe. What motion is 10 them,
Democracy is TO principle. It is the soul
OF action. 1t conforms TO the providence of
God. 1t has confidence in man and an abb
ding reliance in his high destiny. 1t seeks
the largest liberty the greatest good, and
the suresl happiness 1t aims 10 build up
the great interests of the many, to the least
detriment of the few. 1t remembers the
past without neglecting the present 1t es.
tablishes the present, without fearing to
provide for The future. Il cares for the
weak, while it permits no injustice to the
strong. It conquers the oppressor, and pre-
pares the subject of tyranny for freedom.--
1t melts the bigot's heart to meekness, and
reconciles his mind TO knowledge. 1t dis.
pels the cloud of ignorance and superstition
prepares the people for instruction, and
self-respect, 1t adds wisdom to Legislation,
and improved judgement to government -
1t favors enterprises that yields to many,
and an industry that is permanent. 1t is
the pioneer of humauity--the conservator
OF nations. II fails only when it ceases to
be true TO itself, 1t will quench the fire of
Republicanism and hush the drawings of
fanatics.
