( Sncr ,uds, Reag.n has said that his damoe

some are a little tendeF-iooted about being styled
National democrats, aud some so 81 far as I"

Ii 1t be true, as is often asserted in our leading
Journals, that democracy, hke the mystic truths
of the Masonic Order, are tho same in every SEQ
tion OF tho Union, we see M cause for any des-
criptyo opithets, ii by them, ago intcnded any

old party that has stood tho shock Of 81 many
battles The following cS'ra9x WI an Al"'amA
paper, contains some oxceenka and sugS's-
tions, in which tho question Is holtcd to the
bran, and the truth made to stand in bold relief,
Il may do good to some fryuEisl minds in M

National and Staten Rights Democracy,
AZ wo claim to be DEMOCRAT without
prefxcs or airixcs--anl as we hnvc said that il
,t, p;,bsa nNn,nprnpv
mean to changc--to limit, restrict or apply the
principles or the mission of the Democracy to
any sectional, local or personal objects, aims or
designs on the one hand, or TO yield, md succumb
or compromise aud bargain for /" availability for
popularity or party triumph on tho other, then
and in that case we have no use for their niiScs
to our Democracy But we wish to De fairly un-
derstood on this subject. We know thnt many
pcople in these latter days may call themselves
National or States Rights Democrat withoui
meaning to change their Democracy. BY such
people these prctixcs moan nothing Objectionable
But when National is used to popularze and
make available measures or mon ohcctionabl IN
themselves, then reject the National as mere
cloak of deception, thrown over the name of Dc
moCracy to conceal frauds and corruptons and
hypocracies praCticed under thiS screen ot Ma

trines can mean nothing sectional, because they
apply alike to every State. As the several States
and the people of them possess equal rights, 1t
belongs to the principles and the mission OF the
Democracy-ot our Democracy--to assert and
defend these States Rights. We therefore see
nothing Objectionable in what may be called
States Rights Democracy. Truc these Sta'es
Rights doctrines may be abused. Selfish men m
may seek to apply them to bad purposes. But
as States Rights Democracy is Mt this time de-
nounced as ultraism, and as those men who are
bold enough to proclaim themselves as the ndvo-
Gates of States Rights, ere held up by Black lie
Ipublcans in the North and their allies in, the
