The Two Parties-what They
Are-Their History.

l. The DEMOCRATIC PARTY.-This is
the party that has guided the admins
tration of the government of this coun
try from its Infancy to its manhood of
gigantic strength. 1t has a history to
which it points with pride; memories
upHn which it dwells with patriotic de-
light. Under Jefferson, it overthrow
the ~despotic alien and sedition laws of
the elder Adams. Under Madison, it
humbled British insolence by the war of
1912. Under Jackson, it crushed the
monster mouey-power; the United States
Bank-which were steadily undermin-
ing the liberties of the people. Under
Van Buren,, it established the ~Independ-
ent Treasury system, which hassaved US
from official dtfalcations, and, more than
all, given US a sound and stable basis
for u currency, which has enabled the
government and country to pass through
the late financial crisis without the loss
and terrible monetary arrangement ex
perienced 10 1887 to 1910. Under Polk,
it took us gloriously through the Next
can War, which TERMINATED so honorably
and advantageous to our government
ana people. Under Pierce and Buchan-
an, it has maintained the dignity, honor
aud rights of the country, against for
eign aggression and territorial rebellion;
aud upheld the independence of the
States against sectional assaults. To
day, we are a great, a proud a prosper
Gus people-thanks to the continued
ascendeucy of the Democratic party. 1t
is a party of fixed principles. 1t holds
to a strict construction of the Constitu
tion, a faithful adherence to its provis'
ions, mlintainance of the rights of all
the States, non interference, as far as
possible, with the personal rights and
liberties of the people; holding that
that government is best which governs
least, and that the people can better reg.
ulate, each, his own individual conduct
than the government can do it for him
and holding to progressive removal o.
governmental restraints as the people ad
vance in knowledge. 1t is the party O
liberal feeling, liberal sentiments, and o
generous humanity.
2. THE REPuBLtcAN PARrY.-This ii
the party of a day-mushroon in grow.l
mushroom in decay. 1t has reached its
acme, it is already becoming rotten it,
end is not far of. 1t has no principles
1t points the people to no memories o
the past, to 10 hopes in the future
The most that can be said of it is, tina
it originated in Philadelphia, out of The
fag-ends of all other parties, with tn
ideas of congressional Intervention, ant
a denial of the doctrine of popular SOW
reignty. 1t has projected a Maine law
run Fremont for the presidency on 3:
sectionalism, virtually separating tn
Northern from the Southern States o
the Union-has marauded upon Kansa
to her ruin, and lived by shrieking owe
its miseries herself produced. VIVA
