clator OF pro-slavery opinions, has
succeeded in wheeling into their
party ranks many men whose, po-
litical bias has no affinity with the
principles this bastard party advo-
Gates.
The failure Of the Republican
party, when having a majority in
the House of Representatives, to
redeem a single pledge made by
them to the people-the evident
falsity of the charges they have
made against the Democratic party
together with the nomination Of
a man at Chicago, who fails to
combine in himself the qualities
necessary to fill the responsible
position to which he has been nom
mated. These have all tended to
awaken the sober second thought
in the minds of the people, and
lead them to investigate moro Mi
nutely into the present bearings of
political organizations. The DEM
ocratic party is at all times ready
to open her records, and court in
vestigations.
Ithas been an argument to which
the Republican orators and press
have referred with much satisfac-
tion-that by the secession of Ger
tain delegates from the Convention
at Baltimore, and the nomination
of second ticket, the vitality. of
the Democratic party is destroyed ;
and that in choosing between the
two horns ofthe dilemma the par
ty will be wrecked. In this case
the wish is father to the thought,
and outside the naked assertions of
Republican speakers, there is moth
ing to sustain it. The policy which
placed Thomas Jefferson in the
Presidential chair in 1901, has con-
tinued to govern the Democratic
party. The desire to secure the
greatest good for the greatest num-
ber-maintaining that policy which
is National in its'character, has not
only given stability to the Demo-
cratic party, but has raised the Re-
public to that proud position she
now occupies among the nations OF
the earth.
Let us see in what light the
Democratic party look upon the
nomination made Mt Baltimore
Mr.. Douglas had affirmed that tho
general Government in the exer.
else of it's functions should not BIZ
the partizans ofthe North or South.
that the Constitution prescribed it,
legislation, and that legislation was
effected when, as an umpire or ar
bitter between conflicting interests
it awarded equal and exact justic,
to all parties. The people with {
unanimity never before witnessed
accepted his'sentiments, as reflect
ing the spirit of the Democratic
party, and have placed him innom
ination for President.
AS the election of Lincoln o
Breckenridge will bring no quiet t.
the country, by electing Douglas
the people will crush out those sec
tional parties, which now stand ar
rayed against each other, ant
against the National Democrat,
party they will elevate to power
men pledged to the doctrine o
non-intervention, and who ar,
moderate in their principles anc
conservative in their character. A
the party of which Mr.. Lincoln i
the exponent, advocates the direc
intervention Of Congress to preren
slavery in the Territories: and a
the party of which Mr.. .Breckin
ridge was the leader, advocates tn
direct intervention of Congress t.
legislate in favor Of slavery, tn
election of either of these extrem
lists to the highest Office in the git
ofthe people, would be the caus
ofmuch CONSERVATION in the rank
of opposite parties. aa Lincolr
though a moderate man, is in tn
hands of the higher law fanatics
and his election might we'll caus
the South to fear the loss of a
those rights, which by the consti
tuition are guaranteed to her; Will
the election of Breckenridge wi
create the same feeling in the RI
