was the formation of sectional parties, in
which the Northern would be overwhelm-
ingly the strongest, while the Democracy
would be forced, by its principles and its
adherence to right and truth and Justice,
to defend the weaker side, the South.
The purely party interests Of the De-
mocracy have always been against per-
sistance in this agitation. But it has
never faltered in doing its duty, regard
less of consequences. When Abolition
ism sought to interfere in the domestic
affairs Of the slave-holding States, the
Democracy were the sure safeguard and
protection of the latter. When Free
soilism sought to exclude from the new
Territories citizens of the South, by the
passage Of Wilmot Provisos, thus max
ing distinction between the rights of
the people Of different sections, the same
party prevented the outrage, and pre-
served the equality of the States and
their citizens.
For doing this they have been called
IN the North the Pro-slaoe,y party, just
as they have been stigmatized the Papal
and Foreign party, because they protected
the rights of their Roman Catholic and
adopted fellow citizens from the iniqui-
tous attacks of the Know-nothing Order.
And they were called the British party
for defending labor from the crafty and
insi9ious efforts to tax it by means of
protective systems. 1t is no more a
Pro-slavery party than it has been Pa
pal or Foreign or British party.
1t has at all times, on all occasions,
yindicated the right of every community
organized under government, to man
age its own affairs, and to insist upon the
equal rights of every citizen, no matter
where his residence, what his religious
opinions, whence emigrated, or what his
social status.
The Democracy Of the South. at this
time, find devolved upon them the duty
of defending themselves from the insidi-
Gus arts, which, by the introduction of
false issues, seek to distract that harmo-
ny which has united fourteen of the
slaveholding States under one standard.
