9th. That whenever the safety of this
government demands the acquisition Of
territory, if We can not acquire it by pur-
chase, we have an undoubted right 10
take it by force, and retain il as long as
our safety is jeoparded; and that we, as
the dominant people upon the American
continent, can not allow foreign govern
ments 10 interfere in matters entirely
American. That we are pledged to, and
will maintain, as party, the doctrine
known as the Monroe doctrine.
We have above given as concise view
as possible of what we think are demo
cratic doctrines, upon questions attracting
the greatest attention from the American
people. There are various other ques-
tons of policy which we have not room
in this article to allude to, and we have
confined ourselves, principally, to the
points urged by our opponents.
Upon these points, one aud all, we are
pledged to do battle. We do not feel
disposed to yield a hair to the spirit of
fanaticism, now so rife among us, and as
long as we conduct this paper we shall
maintain the above doctrines. They are
all more or less intimately connected with
the subject Of slavery; and while we
think there are many questions of more
practical import, to the citizens of this
government, than that one, yet we are
forced by the republican party to dis
cuss that alone. We accept the issue
and have no fear Of the result.
The democratic party has never yet
suffered but temporary defeat, while all
political organizations opposing it, have,
one after another, been swept from exist
ence, leaving scarcely memory behind.
1t is but few years since it met and
vanquished the old whig party, headed as
it was, by as noble and gallant leaders as
ever commanded an opposing force. And
can il be possible that the faction, now
styling themselves the republican party,
and whose name is burlesque upon The
principles they advocate, can usurp the
place Of the wing party and succeed
That party really possessed talents, pa
triotism, and responsibility. 1t was a
national party, whose principles found IA
vor alike in all sections of our Union

1t is the duty of the democratic party

o A WORD TO OUR FUTURE PArRoSs.-
Upon due consideration we have deemed
1t best, instead Of issuing prospectus Of
our paper to strike off sample copy
though by no means perfect one of what
we intend to present in future to our
readers, owing to the mcager preparations
for publication yet made. This we intend
to circulate generally among our acquain-
tances, and Others through our own and
adjoining counties, and then wait two
weeks from the issuing of such copy, for
those who wish to become our patrons to
hand in their subscription money and lists
of advertisements. In the interim no
paper will he issued, unless legal notices
should require the publication of an extra.
