What independent man would pe sueh
President? With the Constitution Tor ms
Guide. he should be trammelled by no party
pledges. lie should enter into no bargain
with political cliques or party leaders, whose
corruptions must be choaked. and who must
Be retained in Office to save the party the
odium Of exposure; and who, when they
could no longer impose npon his friendship,
would turn their traitorons tangs to bite him.
ue should recognize no affiliations with men
vho'hay been untrue 10 the Constitution ~
both sections. lie should accept no favor
al the hands OF such. Nominated BY the
Charleston Convention, he would endorse
Tie beresies of each and every faction COM
posing il, and horde 81 these men, who
have been striving for years % denationallze
the Democratic party, Until they have re-
duced it to a combination OF factions, would
stand with their eternal cry Of "spolls IN
the way Of every righteous endeasor u ms
! administration.
Contemplate the scene now spread out
before the gaze OF the American people
\ The Democratic party no Longer represents
I the principles which secured It's trlumphs III
the DAYS Of Andrew Jackson. The Wing
PARTY which also had its triumphs no Longer
maintains an organization. The great North,
which eight wears ago rallied with enthusiasm
around the Democracy, is in the hands OF =
sectional party. Congress, the arena OF sec,
nsrMrangc, while politicians are engaged
in the task Of President making, and seha
turial caucusses in accordance with central
izing tendencies, are arranging Platforms

What is the test of Strength isit asSc'
with respect TO candidate, is he the ehOlc
of the people! Not so; the people are KEEP
IN the bach ground TO do the bidding OF pol
itic,ans, and he who can secure the most q
these, the people must vote for. With tn
, fact that almost every Northern State Is los
to the party by this demora!izlng process
/. the country is expected 10 stand still, an
