TIE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION =
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

-
The Administration Of Jafnea BIC hanan, like
that of all The former Dem0cFaisc Presidents,
is unable TO do any act connected with the
management Of the Governmeni, = tlicli com
mands The hearty sanction and approval ol the
Opposition. Let il do or propose 10 DO what II
nHy with reference to ouT foreign policy, or
our internal affairs, the finances, territories Or
what not, and there is one universal eondemna--
lion Of what IS done or proposed 10 besaofP, on
the part Of the Republican PalilicisBsaGd Re-
publican Editors. In esery measure OF tbe
Administration, tbey see the bankruptcy Of the
nation, the Fuia of the counlry, and The desiFuc-
ton of our liberties. -
This is the Did song. I; was set to music IN
the beginning OF thr Administration OF Thomas
jefferson, and has been sung by the Opposition
during the existence OF every Democrat
ic Administration from that until the present
time and if Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, jack
son, Vas f3nren, Polk and Pierce, were not ex-
empi from ihr fierce assaults Of the opPosiiion,
Mr.. Buchanan mas no right 10 expect that hrs
Administration sho1ld bp an exception. lndeed
he would have Just cause for alarm ii II were
50 that bis policy and management OF the gov
eminent met with no resistance from bis poliii-
cal opponents.
Il was charged that Jefferson in his day ruin
I'd the country. The same charge has been
repeated against every Democratic successor,
aud is cow most diligently urged against Mr.
Buchanan. The croakers are not all dead yet,
and are not likely TO Be soon and as long IS
they exist, aEd as long as Democratic policy
keeps iis opponents from the possession Of the
high places of the government, the MEASURES
proposed and adopted for the administration Of
the aTairs Of the nation wil meet with constant
opposition, VWthe .4ss bray rien he has
grass or the Or lou rchen he hoth fodder! =
By no means and If our opponents had the
grass and fodder offhe national grazing grounds
and nanger, we are very sure they woule erase
TO fnd fault with the Democracy.
II IS gratifying 10 know, and the history OF
the country snslains the statement Of the fact,
that Notwithstanding fbe uninterrupted condem-
nation Of the policy anu sneasU res Of each sue
ceeding Democratic 4 administration, and the
uniform prediction that the ruin of the country
was inevitable, If the Democratic Party vas
not oFerthfown aud forever prostiated W, under
The guidance OF hs statesmen, this nation has
grown and prospered throughout the whole Pc
Rod Of our national history.
Other parties have had The temporary posses
sion of the government and for brief periods
have administered its affairs. But they h4sr
ali IA turn passed away, and have without an
exception, failed TO leave upon the records of
the country, one solitary measure ofthrir policy
as a memorial Of their having had an existence.
How different is the history OF the Gerii~d, a
bused and yiIIlfied Old Democratic PARTY. At
every stage oI our progress II has made lis in
press upon the Statute 5oIks Of The nation, and
experience has only SERVED 10 yindcatr The
wisdom and policy OF the various measures
which It has fl Oh time to lime inauguratrd, and
under the influence of which We have attained
our present Fre-eminence as power among the
Batioas OF the earth. The Demccraic Party
US great Old Party and IT'S MisslQn Is to nan

lions, notwithstanding croakers may croak, and

done in the ras,.-O4io SfafesEaaa.
