THE TRUE POLICY or THE DEMOCRACY.

1t is the true policy of the Democratic party
to adhere to principlc--to observe we'll the
usages of the party What are the principles
OF the Democratic party, and what its usages
1t has ever advocated as cardinal principles u
plain economical governmental rigid regard
to justice in its intercourse with all foreign
powers and the maintenance Of ,habits of thor
|ongh simplicity in governmental transactions.
To carry out their republican principles, the
Democrats early adopted the usage of ccctng
men to Office Of high order of intellectual ut
tainncnts, moral worth and deeply imbucd
with love Of our Institutions. Such being the
fact, it was almost invariably the ease that the
general sentiment Of the party the sentiment
lof the masses Of the party--d designated who
were TO be candidates for Office long anterior
to any nominations being made And the
masses, with that intelligence and discrimnas
tion which generally claractcrises them, almost
invariably fixed upon the. best men in society
for the most exalted edpositions. They centcred
upon those who had Illustrated by their lives
their attachment TO Democracy and to truth,
and had bat'led for the good old cause Of hui
maniiy-whosc names were associated with
great principles for which martyrs had freely
offered themselves as sacrifice men, the
mention Of whose names operated upon the
community like the buglc's call the veterans Of
many battles And the dccis on of the Dem
orratic masses always has had a. maicst be-
fore which the trading hnokstcrs in politics.

TIE TEACHINGS OF JEFFERSON.

The Nashville Union Of n late date has m
excellent article Oh parties, in which il forcibly
contrasts The doctrine of Jefferson with those
Of the liamiItonan Or consolidation school Of
statesmen The i1eas Of Jefferson have .becn
applied in the administration Of the govern
nrut, have lived and produced bonntifnl good TO
tie country: rhoseof hamilton and the old Fed
cral times have gradually disappeared, until
nj present only an insignificant remnant Of their
supporters can lie found to DO the funeral rites
whon they shall vanish forever
III coatfadstneton Of Federalism, observes
Honr contemporary Mr. Jefferson taught the
doctrine of poiaica cgUality and popuiaf Wghts
TINT with lis, all sovereignty was in the peo
pie. which aggregated formed the sovereignty
of the States; and that the Federal Govern.
mpnt had none of ii and could only exercise,
therefore such powers as were clearly dolega-
ted by the Stntrsin formation Reversing the
ideas of Mr.. Hamilton, he was for adapting
the government to the people; not the people
to the Government. He believed and taught
that the most simple form of Government was
the best-thatnrhicbq qorctntd lcaa. That every
citizen should be left rs free as possible, in the
exercise of his own individual sovereignty, to
govern and take care Of himself, SO that he did
not treSspass upon the peace OF society or the
rights Of others. This was a sublime idea of
/ Mr. Jellersons. 1t elevated every American
citizen to the same political aatas of the proud,
est nobility of Europe This it was that i'm
parted such life and energy to onr people
This it is that has enabled us to onstrip the
world in all that is great and glorious, This
it is that has extended our Territory from ocean
to ocean, and increased our family of sister
Republics from thirteen to thrty-onc and that
will continue to extend them until "thc whole
broad continent is ours.o This is that makes
every citizen a soldier, and every ireside al
alter This it is that gives cheer to the Amer
lean mother when she sends her orphan boy ou
upon the world This it is that gives light
and hope and courage to wronged and opprcss
ed humanity in every cline and country.
} Whatever tends to the reverse of this grea
principle of popular sovereignty, tends to a less
ening of the power in the people, and its con
soIidaton in the Government. Just in pro
: portion as the Federal authorities grow strong
the people grow weak. There is a universe
tendency to the abuse of power in irrespons
+ BILE hands There is no danger OF the peopl
4 expressing themselves 1t isimportant, there
y fore, that they should continue to hold tn
e power The entire history Of the world clea1
ly shows that it will be a sad day when the
shall cease to hold it

Hence the Democratic doctrine in favor of
d strict construction of the Constitution and
against the exercise of all doubtful powers.
Hence the doctrine of States Rights and the
rights Of the people. Hence the doctrine of
Free trade in conradstinction to Protective
Tariff; by which one section of the country is
made to bear all the burdens of Government
to enrich tie other section. Hence their op-
position TO special legislation and to large grants
Of power to soulless corporations, securing Pc
cuiar privileges to the few at the expense of
the many. Hence its opposition to wild and
reckless extravaganza and the waste of public
money. Hence its attachment to the interests
of the masses aud its fostering care of the la
boring and producing classes in preference to
the artfu and incidental interests of society
