1t is important that every young
man to stand right in politics as vel
as other matters. Those who join the
Democracy connect themselves with .
permanent organization. The party
is co-existent with the foundation d
our republican institutions, and three
quarters ofthe century has so entwined
it in the institutions of our country
that its existence is fixed and irrevo-
cable 40 long ~ our government ex-
lists. 1t has been opposed by various
parties in their turn, some of which
have had temporary triumphs, bu,
they ultimately fell under the conquer.
ing march of the invincible Democra-
cy. The wars Of fanaticism have
beaten against, and have sometimes al
most seemed to engulph it. but ANNA
ted by the central principle Of justice
to all classes and conditions of men, il
has ever risen in majesty above the
raging pillows. It has been opposed
by the eloquence of Clay aud Web
ster, and others of less note, but it bal
withstood the assaults Of all, and The
very last act Of these great statesmen
was to confess their error and Com,
mend the Democracy. We may be
easily out-numbered for q time, but
triumph will soon follow. We hav,
shaped the institutions of our countr,
from its foundation, and point with
pride to our haEdiwork, and it is th.
destiny Of the party to guard, protect
and uphold the nation until the. las,
line of liberty has been written npor
the record Of time.
