OLD DEMOCRACY, AND NEW.

Under Republican government. parties come
into existence, are cbristensd live out their little
day, aud die, as soon as the principles upon which
they were founded bave either become obsolete. or
have no longer any opposers, or when some po-
Iitical change has taken place which renders them
no longer necessary.
But the so called Democratic party is an excep-
ton To all rules It's name has lived after all the
fundamental principles which its founders proclaim
ed, are utterly repudiated by the party which still
claims the name, and until it occupies precisely
the position once occupied by its old antagonist
the Federal party. The old Federals were in fa-
vor Of centraHzing the Federal government in
creasng the power of the President and bis eabi.
net, and limiting that Of the States. Thus their
name indicated their principles. The Democrats
advocated State Rights and would restrict the
power of the General Covenant.
Now all this is changed. The Old Federal
party is dead, and the Democratic party has adopt.
ed the principles of the Federas, the very idsnti.
cal principles which it was organized to overthrow.
While the modern Democracy uphold the most
obnoxious tenets of the old Federals, they have
engraned upon the parent stock principles far
worse. They advocate strong Federal govern
msnt, not for wise and beri6cent purposes, but to
uphold the fugitive slave law and force its obnox
ious edicts in the Free States; not to make free
dom universal throughout all the territory of the
United States, but slavery; not to extend the area
Of liberty, but to spread still wider the curse Of
human bondage.
Before the election Of jefferson in 1901, there
we're two parties; the Fedora, and the Republican.
Jefferson and the advocates Of State Rights, were
Republicans. John Adams, and the friends ofthe
Administration, were Federals. So now the Re.
publicaus of the present day oppose the central
ism Of power in the hands ofa few; oppose the
abuse Of the power Of the federal government, and
advocate the rights Of the States, Modern De-
mocracy takes precisely opposite gFOsnds. Thus
the Republicans stand exactly where the Rspubli.
cans Of 1904 stood, while the Democratic PARTY
has abandoned every principle which at first Il ad-
vocaied, and taken up every prominent one be-
longing to The old Federal pahy.-7rSm6slV
