Mountain Democrat. [volume] (Placerville, El Dorado Co., Cal.) 1854-1860, 1858-10-16

TN the 18th OF last month five hundred
MissourianS ian Administration DcmocratS)
escorted Judge Douglas from St. Louis to
Ecllcvillc, Illinois, where he and his friends
met with = most enthusiastic reception
The EmancipatiOnists Of Missouri and the
Black Republicans Of IllinOis-thc Blairs, the
Browns, the Winners of the former, the Trum-
bulls, the LOvCjoys, the Washburns, the
Wentworths Of the latter State, all arc fight.
ing him: but in every contest with what he
not inaptly calls the "mORgrels," he has come
off victorious. He states cmphatically, with
| out the least cquivocation or reservation, that
he has UNLIMITED confidence in the DemOcra-
cy, integrity, purity and patriotism Of Prcsi-
dent Buchanan" and that il is the patriotic
duty Of every national man, Of every friend
Of the Union, to rally under the banner and
support the only party whose principles know
no North, no South, no East, no West, but
the whole Union and the common good Of all
our citizens" What rebuke to Brodcrick-
ism. BrOdcrick abused President Buchanan
in terms at once fiendish and vulgar, and uni
ted with the niGger-worshipers in the frutless
attempt to defeat the Democracy; Douglas
defends and indorses the President, and is
manfully waging fierce war against the foes
of the Democratic party-the eugOlists, par
tizans and friends of the bankrupt, dcSpicable
political firm Of Broderick, Seward & Co.
For the Republicans, their associates, their al
lies, their instruments, { Brodcrick included
among their numbcr) Douglas has the most
whitening eontempt-a contempt that he bold
ly proclaims from every stump-a contempt
that he Indignantly hurls upon their leaders
in burning words whenever and wherever he
meets them. On oil occasions he calls them
BLACK Republicans, traitors to the Union,
subycrtcrs Of the Constitution, reckless fanat-
les and enemies of good government" He
asks no faYors from thcm-would accept none.
lie exposes their littlcness, duplicity, base
ness, ridiculcs their prctensions, and holds
them up 10 the scorn and indignation Of the
conservative, national men Of the Union
Brodcrick sympathiscs with them, afiiliotcs
with them, votes with them, courts their favor,
deprecatcs their enmity, sOlicitS their support,
gives them aid and comfort, and teaches them
the ingenious and certainly noble art Ofstuffing
ballot boxes and striking from the shoulder"
They have the highest respect for Broderick,
regard him as their youthful but brave "
champion, puff him extravagantly, stand by
him, consult him, and submssivcly follow his
dictation; they have the utmost detcStation
and dread Of Douglas, and have sent hirclings
into his State to defeat him. They would
make any sacrifice to assist Broderick-any
sacrifice to defeat Douglas. How humiliating
tho position of Broderick the champion
, and the tool Of the Black Republicans!
In response to the kindly greetings Of the
Missouri delegation Douglas manifested his
contempt for the Black Republicans and his
Interchangeable attachment to the Democratic
! party. lie said
"My whole life has been identified with the grcn
National Democratic party all the energies have
| been able TO command, have been devoted to its
cause; and | never desired and never expect any
honor or promotion, or hope for any ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
that is not the spontaneous gift Of that purity with
which have always been Identified.
Again In referring to the Nationality Of
the Democratic party and the Stction0lism Of
the Black Republican rarity, he said;
7 "Thcrc could not, perhaps be presented clearer
and more satisfactory illustration Of Democratic
principles than is here presented in this union Of
MissOurians aud Illin0isans-Inen from slave State
and men from u free State who have assembled to-
gether in the discussion of political topics and re-
ceive exposition Of the creed that applies we'll
in the one State as in the other. (''GO0d, good,
and chcers.) When our political opponents meet
for the purpose Of political discussion, they must do
so on one side oi geographical line. Their prnci-
pies cannot State boundaries. cannot the
Mississippi or the Ohio rivers. while the Democratic
principles arc proclaimed wherever the American
flag waves or the Constitution rules"
Democracy embraces the whole Union,
Brodcrick- Rcpubiicanism but n portion of it.
Only ION ono side Of geographical line" are
the friends and supporters of BrOderick found /;
"wherover the American flag waves or the
Constitution rules" there Democratic hearts
are found rallying under the proud fold OfOur
National emblem.
