ThS Democratic Party The true Union
Parly-aIl olher Parties DiSuniOniStS.

As the time IS approaching when the
democratic parly will be required to place
In nomination a candidate for delegate to
Congress, as opposed 10 whoever the oppo-
sition may bring out against him, we
would remind all those within our terrific.
" Who have not definitely allied them
selves under that banner which sports up
on its folds galaxy Of but sirieen stars, Of
the fact that can no longer be disguised,
that the integrity and stability Of this
Union can be preserved and perpetuated
only BY the continued success and triumph
ofthe democratic party. 1t is strange, a
coiemporary remarks. and an unnatural
spectacle to sec portion Of the American
people uniting together for the purpose Of
disuniting their country. It is a bitter
commentary upon the tolls and sunerings
and sacrifices Of the fathers Of the republic
to see educated and influential leaders ap-
pealing to the people of one section to
combine against their brothers Of another
section. 1t is mournful lesson to the
youth Of the present generation to observe
the pertinacily and perseverance Of certain
theoretical statesmen who seek to extract
from the very chart aud soul of our politi-
cal liberties the life-blood which gives vi
,ality to the constitution of our common
country. We are reminded by the daily
exhibition Of some one Of these elements,
that there is now in existence in the states
a,lparty which sustains itself alone upon
the idea Of disunion. II such party were
not now openly organizing in the free
states, the democratic party would not
have . single opponent, and, accordingly,
our free institutions would be sustained by
the. willing hands Of our whole people
We care not what the pretext for this an
t-American organization may be, it con-
templates the fatal end Of division and Of
dissolution. The means it employs arc as
revolving as the end to which it is ener-
getically working. Foreign newspapers,
foreign books, foreign emissaries, and for.
eign money, are aagrantly enlisted in the
warfare Of abOlitionism upon the south /;
and thus The crusade has gone on from
year 10 year, with varying success, until at
last ]. presents the formidable front which
we noW behold until 1t unfurls its stand.
