Daily Democrat and news. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1859-1864, 1859-11-22

We we'll remember that, in days gon

the Democratic party Us TIC b'it'S" P''
- of the United States. The OPPOSE
ITO, press, North and South, boldly pro-
claimed that the success OF Democracy
possessed the sympathy OF the ar'stoc-
racy of England, and that taat success
had. time and again, been sc 'ured ny
the lavish expenditure of British gold.
That these declarations had no iounda-
ton in fact was best attested by the
successive popular verdicis against inc
SANDER and the slanderers. But how Is
it now with the cphemeral political or
eanization which is making war upon
this old, time-honore !. party, that has
stecrcd the ship of State through so
many storms, with so few interruptions
since the year of 1910! Which is the
British party in the United States IN
1859! There are evidences OF dairy oc-
currence las strong IS proof OF holy
writ" and SO plain "tEat he who runs
NAV read" which stamp the Rcpubic-
an-Abollion- Anti-Slavery party OF the
North as the one for the triumph OF
which all England is Offering mp ier'ent
orisons. and for which the purse strings
of the titled Nobility of Great Britain
have been loosened.
That there should exist in the minds
of the aristocracy Of England an ardent
desire tor the subversion of the mstitu'
,ions of Democratic America Is but nat
ural. Those who advocate the Divine
Right Of Kings to rule look upon this
government as an illustration of the ial.
lacy of their doctrine. They would
prefer to witness its downfall from
causes at work within itself, to an over
throw from invasions from without. =
Such an end would establish the inhe-
rent weakness of all democracies, and,
at the same time, prove that man was
formed. not for scIf-government, but
that he should be ruled by the annointcd
Of Jchovah-b the special .te,o set apart
as governors among men. The success
Of our experiment in government Will
explode this idea, which has controlled
50 many of our race in every age; while
its failure will dispel, for all time to
come, every hope OF Freedom in the
world.
These being the views Of the mon
archists Of Europe, they are looking
anxiously for realization of their de-
sires. Never, since the dawn of liberty
upon our shores, have they bad so much
cause for excessive Joy as NOVEMBER
have they, in their imagination, seen
SO plainly the shadow OF that com
ing event for which they have prayed SC
devoutly. Years ago, they perceived
the little mole-hill which has now grown
to be great mountain-years ago, they
witnessed, along the Northern horizon,
the small cloud which has now so in
creased as to obscure the canopy DER
hanging this land Of liberty. They are
preparing to sing halIalujabs over the
destruction that may be caused, when the
tornado which it portends shall sweep
from North to South ard from East to
West, leaving nothing but ruin in its
wake.
The foes of liberty in the Old World
see in the slavery agitation there, and
by concert of action here, that this gov
ernment will not endure. There and
here the enemies of Democracy have
made common cause. There is a sym.
pathetic chord which unites the slavery
agltator in England with his brethren
on this side of the Atlantic. Every ar,
tifice and plot and conspiracy for oper.
ating upon the prejudices of the people
and melting to rebellion, has its aiders
and abettors on the other side of the
Atlantic as we'll as here. Incendiary
publications, having for their object the
arrangement of the people of the north
crn states from those Of the southern
are muniticently patronized by the Eng1
lish Nobility. The CHAMPIONS of insur.
rection, rebellion and treason in this
country, are cheered on to deeds of infa>
my, and if they fail, and need succor OF
sympathy, they find the aristocracy Of
Great Britain ever ready to grant either
or both.
These are not flights of fancy. Exam
pies arc not wanting to establish the
truth OF Our assertions. In England the
Arstocracy have been the patrons o.
Harriet Beecher Store and all the in
cendiary writers of her class. When
funds are needed to carry on the war
against slavery, the agitators here have
but to draw upon their principals in Eu.
rope, and their drafts are honored. Dr..
chcecer has even now agents collecting
money in England for the continuation
OF the "Kansas work" The, London
