The oN,,sidon journals become iue'i''lOly
laciihou. when they speak Of the harmonious
DEM, racy, We do not reeollec' peIod
wb.n they have been otherwise beiore an elec,
an. The idea Of such thing as general
principle running through the ranks, CONSOLE
dating them against common enemy ana 'oI
common purpose, is mystery they cannot
solve, and they look or seem TO look always
with settled expectation, 10 the ''fe'he'ao'e
dissolution OF our camp.
Were we disposed TO the mere shllds play
OF relou for relon's sake, we might turn upon
these journals their own division and dlssen'
sions and ask how il is that they see so much
10 object against the Democracy, for uniting
discordant elements. when they themselves
urge a union Of all the elements OF opposition
medly Of sms which we shall not a!'emp'
TO name, with the uvowed purpose Of triumph
aud spoils alone.
Oar object is different, higher and more SER
viceable. Il is to show, that however ~","
there may be dispute and difference on ",,"J'
polnts, there are cardinal elements 0, ",,"
which mdissolubly band the Democracy No,'n'
South, T. ,st and West, which override an e'se'
tolerate all else, harmonizc all else and make
the party inyincible before the American peo,
pie. A principle which, like the ia''h OF
christianity, suffers not frcm the division oil us
church, and bands all sects in common creed
That cardinal faith is simple, ensy oil com
prehcnsion, and distinct. 1t is,
LIST. That the Constitution Of the United
States is the limitation Of federal Powers, and
mnst be interpreted strictly to define thorn,
2nd. That all questions Of general policy
mast be subseyient TO constitutional require
ments.
ord. That the rights of State sovereignty
cannot be impaired.
ih. That the laws Of nature and the in.
srincts of individual enterprise give the best
development TO the countrys resources.
9th. That constitutional taxation IS Tor the
support of government, not the advancement
Of special enterprise or sections.
9th. That the freest trade, the purcst cur.
rency. the largest liberty, the largest taxation,
Iorm the safes, policy for free country.
That is our creed
If our neighbors will examine it, thcy will
learn how it is that we seem to be opposed 70
everything, and have nothing Of our own TO
propose.
1t is a creed which leans on God, and trusts
10 the great laws which God has established.
1t is creed which lets well enough alone,
and trusts to the nature of man TO develop the
riches of nature.
Our opponents trust legislative currency (;
we, the currency which nature recommends.
Our opponents trust development of Gener-
al interests by federal laws we, the grand
aggregate Of individual enterprise. Thi, is
the law of the Democratic party. Its policy
conflicts everywhere with the Capitalization of
power. Its hopes lean on the public integrity
and Judgement, and ITS constitutional theory is
that communities better understand themselves
and their interests than do distant sections.

EDWARD EVERETT ON THE CABLE.-One OF
the finest things yet spoken on the cable is the
following by EDWARD EVERETT:
docs it seem all but incredible TO you that
Intelligence should travel two thousand miles,
along those slender copper wires, far down in
all but fahomless Atlantic, never before per.
tanning TO humanity, save when some foundc-
ring vessel has plunged, with her hapess COM
pany, to the eternal silence and darkness OF
the abyss? Does it seem, say, all but amir.
acle of art that the thoughts of living men
the thoughts that we think. up here on the
earth's surface, in the cheerful light of day
about the markets, the exchanges, and the sea-
sons, and the elections, and the treaties, and
the wars, and the fond nothings of daily life
should clothe themselves with elemental sparks,
and shoot with fiery speed in moment, in the
twnkling of an eye, from hemisphere to hem
sphere, far down among the uncouth monsters
that walow in the neither seas, along the
wreck paved floor, through the oozy dungeons
of the rayless deep that the last intelligence
of the crops, whose dangling tassels will in a
few months be coquetting with the west wind
on these boundless prairies, should go fash.
ing along the Shiny decks Of old sunken gal
Icons, which have been rot,ng for ages; that
messages of friendship and love, from warm
living bosons, should burn over the cold green
bones OF men and women, whose hearts, once as
ours burst as the eternal CULTS closed and roar-
ed over them centuries ago!"
