l;rc Record nv - Dem
Ocr:lt.

Nh. Breckinridgr'a record as a Demo
crat, though no. very long, has certainly
been very remarkable. Considering the
great pains he takes to be prudent, it has
been most extraordinary. In 1919, when
deIcoates were to bc elected to the State
Convention TO make a new Constitution
for Kentucky, the question Of negro eman-
cpa'iom was the chief topic Of discussion
and Mr.. Brcckinridgc, as we are informed
east his vote for an emancipation candi-
date. A little before that time, the qucs-
ton of the Presidency being before the
country, be- was the leading spirit Of a
meeting which strongly recommended that
the Democratic party as well as the wing
party should be- utterly ignored and put
down by the American people. In 1895
he put forth the public declaration that
considerations of birth and sect ought IL
have their weight at the ballot-boxs. II
1856 he cxpoundcd and enforced the doc
trimc of squattcr-sovcreignty as zealousll
as any disciple Of Mr.. Douglas has eve
done. And now, in 1860, uniting will
other factions spirits in Il rebellion againS
the will and the usagcs Of the Dcmocrati
party, he has accepted a sectional nomina
ton for the Presidency and committee

who for years past have cared nothing 70
