Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-02-23
From the Boston Post. The Old and the Modern Opposition tho Same

Our opponents often boast that New Eng land and New York are against the demo- cratic party, and opposed to the national administration. But there is nothing new in this It is the normal condition of the old federal party revived ill the sectional ism of modern abolitionism. The severest struggle for American nationality that ever the democracy had to encounter was in the presidential election of 1872 AIr. Madi- son had succeeded Jefferson in 1908, hav- ing received 122 votes against Charles C.. Pinckney, of South Carolina, the federal candidate, who had 1T votes, all from New England, except 8, which were portion of the votes of Delaware, Maryland and North Carolina. South Carolina, North Carolina Gall but 3,) Virginia, Maryland Gall but ?, Georgia and Tennessee, voted for Mr. Madison, as did also the free States, Vermont, New York (then only 13 votes) New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio- Mir Madison was thus elected 6y the united democracy of the nogth and south, the north giving him 90 votes, and the south 72, while the north gave Pinckney 39 votes and the south s.
 ue CTiSiS lOllON6u III IIe uSEJaIatlOu of war against Great Britain June Is, 1872
 That war was eminently democratic measure, and was carried by the united de- mocracy of the north and south. In the Senate 19 yeas to 13 nays; in the House 79 yeas to 49 nays-17 States.
 The yeas in the House were from New Hampshire, 3, Massachusetts, including Maine, 6, Vermont 3, New York 3, New Jersey ?, Pennsylvania 16, Ohio l, Mary land 6, Virginia l4, North Carolina 6, South Carolina s, Georgia 3, Kentucky 5, Tennessee 3.
 Nays-New Hampshire ?, Massachu. setts s, Rhode Island ?, Vermont l, Con- necticut '. New York II, New Jersey 4, Pennsylvania ?, Delaware l, Maryland 8, Virginia 3, North Carolina 3-giving in the result 34 yeas to 37 nays from the free States, and 45 yeas to 12 nays from the southern States.
 At the close of Mr. Madson's first term the great struggle betwe ,n the democrats and federalists was made whether the war should be maintained and the national hon. or upheld, or submission to Great Britain by dishonorable peace. New England and New York stood as they do now ngainst nationality. They combined to defeat the democratic south by nominating Dewitt Clinton as the federal candidate against Madison. The result was glorious for the future of the country Clinton got ths votes of New York, all the New England States except Vermont and New Jersey, making 50 votes from free States and g only from the south, viz: Delaware and Maryland of her II votes. Madison re- ceived the votes of Vermont s, Pennsyl- vania 70, and Ohio :, making 40 from the north, and from the south Maryland, Vir- ginia. North and South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentucky--SS votes. For Madison 12S, Clinton S9.-- From this action of the united democracy of the north and south in 1872, the noblest results in our history have followed, in the progress and expansion of the nationality of the Union. And whenever the honor of the country abroad or the safety. of its Union and the rights of the States at home have been in danger, the democracy, north and south, when united, have always sus- tained and as long as they wisely continue to be united always will sustain 1t, in every crisis.
