Democracy

We would ask the Advertiser II It is in
accordance with the spirit Of true Dcmoc-
racy, to compel candidates TO pledge them
selves, in advance to support the ticket :
Is IL not asking men TO resign their indie
pondonco and manhood and become the
mere tools Of purtyi Such acts might be
expected under the government Of Louis
Napoleon, where free speech and indc-
pendent action ore not tolerated, but, In
a free country like ours, II is monstrous.
II is a species Of nquisiton, resorted to
only by party lenders, to control the ro-
fractory and effect their base purposes. II
is the last resort Of desperate men, engag-
ed in a bad cause. "Tho "cliquo" in thi,
county have been compelled to il, to keeT
the party together. They have ruled the
party 80 long, cas- with rod Of iron," that
the rank and file have begun to "kick il
traces" Hence tho hands Of the victims
whom they intend to slaughter, mnst first
be tied. Such is democracy in these lat
ter days.

what Democracy hns Dome.
Tho Democratic party IN Congress vo-
ted for the annexation Of Texas and in
volvcd US IN war with Mexico, for the
purpose Of cnlarging the area Of slavery.
They passed the odious Fugitive sllye
Law, because southern democrats demand
ed more security for their niggers.
They repealed the Missouri Compro-
misc and revived the agitation Of the sla-
very question, at the demand ofthe South
In order that territory, once consocrated
10 freedom, might be cursed with slavery.
They tried to enslavo Kansas against
her will, enacted scenes Of blood, ropne
and arson and finally passed the infamous
English Bill. in order 10 bribe her into the
Union as a slave state, or punish her II
she refused.
They have, time and again, defeated
the Homestead Bill, the object Of which
was to grant to actual settlers a limited
quantity Of the unoccupiod lands Of the
West, thus showing themselves the a
vowed enemies Of the poor white man.
They have caused the Government L
depart from the ancient landmarks, rear
ed by Washington and Jefferson, hav,
misintcrpretcd the plain teachings Of tn,
Constitution and submitted every depart
mcnt Of the Government to the diCtatioI
Of the slave power.
They have, by a wreckless prodigulit!
and a system Of political fovoritism an
public plundering destroyed the credit o
the country, increased the national cx
lpenditurcs to nearly eiOo,00O,000 annu
ally, have drained the treasury Of SUI
plus of some 3O,OOO,OOO aud borrowe
S4o,ooO,OO0 more to saw, the govornmcn
from bankruptcy, oil within two shoi
years.
Such is the fearful record, which th
democratic party has made and on whic
they will have to stand or fall. Let II
free people Of the North examine III
long catalogue Of crimo and then consi
or VIII ther or not they will support su,
a purity and help elect men 10 office, wi
will directly or indirectly carry out su,

The democracy Of Seneca county, Il

Judvc Ilnnncy's posItion.

Nine years ago Judge Runney in Will
mot Proyisospeeoh made use the follow
ing language, which shows clearly whero
he stood or pretended to stand at that
time. The sudden conversion Of this
Democratic leader to a platform in direct
antagonism to this language cannot DO
explained away;

In nine years this same Judge appears
upon a platform as a candidate for Gov
crnor Of the great State Of Ohio, which
contains the following resolution;
Resolved, That any attempt by Con-
gress, or any Of the States, to establish OF
maintain, prohibit or abolish, the relation
Of master aud slave IN Territory, toOuld

Of our American institutions, and that
We adhere immoveably to the principles

Dodging tIle Issues.

The platform adopted by the Democrat
ic Convention, last week, is curiosity
worthy of Barnum. II lodges oil the i'm.
portant issues before the country and
deals in a few "glittering generaatios. '
It fails to endorse the President, Douglas
Pugh, or even the State platform, adopt
cd at Columbus and, on the acquisition
Of Cuba, the Kansas question, the Fugi.
tive Slave Law, the Homestead bill, the
rights Of Free White men, the restriction
OF Slavery, the sub-treasury law, and the
MorgOn-Edgerton-Reemelinr report, il is
ominously and Intentionally silent. Dem
ocrats have no principles nowadays that
they dare advocate openly and above
board. Their only prioiple is Plunder
and their daily meat and drink niggcr,
catching.

The Democracy and Freedom
tm Kansas.


The Democracy nnd Freedom
I'm Kansas.
Let Il be borne In mind that the DEM
ocralio members Of the Kansas Constitu-
tional Convention, voted against the
adoption ofthe Constitution, and finally re-
fused to Sign IL; and that tthe party in the
territory are now making every effort TO
prevent lis adoption by the people. The
Constitution prohibits slavery, and in
most Of ita provisions Is quite similar to
the Constitution Of Ohio. The party that
has deprecated "Kansas Shrioking," and
the heated excitement that has made the
affairs Of Knnsns 50 prominent a topic Of
discussion, now manifests lie sincerity by
an attempt to defeat the Constitution, and
thus prolong the discussion. But Il is ev-
dent that "a long as there Is a "niRger in
the wood" the Democracy will agitate
and keep ogitating. Had the Constitu-
tion tolerated slavery, there would have
been no opposition from that qunrter.--
The Democratic members made every ei.
fort 20 have slavery recognized in the
Constitution, and when il became evident
that a full recognition could not be OBJ
tained, an attempt was made to have sla
very continued In the state one year az
ter the adoption Of the Constitution.
This last effort proving fr1itless, an at
tempt will be made 70 defeat the Consti
tuition, that slavery may have anothe
/ chnnee.

edited by ]. w. Clay, Esq, and brother
of the United States Senator Clay, Of that
State, thus expllcltoly states the condi-
tions upon which only, Alabama will sup
port the nominee Of the Charleston Con-

"No nominee Of the Charleston Com
vontion can obtain our support unless the
platform adopted shall substantially re-
cognize the Constitutional rights Of the
South on the Slavery question, as laid
down by the Supreme Court in the Dred
Scott decision, to-wit: that slavery h re-
cogniz d IN the Constitution, and that Il
Is the duty Of every department Of the

dicial, and Executive, 10 guard and protect
Il; and unless the antecedonts Of the
nominee are such ms TO justify the boliei
that he will be a safe custodian Of The
rights Of the South under the Constitu
ton"
Northern Democrats, who flotter them
selves that they are going to dodge th'
support Of a Slave Code, will please TAX,
notice. The ropes are now being laid
by which all such are to be drawn int,
