Unless we are greatly mistaken IN

Democracy and RepublicaDism. We
make no doubt of it. There 10 also a
very startling probability that there is
time coming in our national affairs,
when the entire might Of our party will
be demanded to combat with it's natural

built; never so long as the true spirit of
our noble Constitution is ignored and
trampled under foot; never so long as
traitors plot mischief in the South or
the Republican party brews mischief
In he North.
Stand fast by your colors, fellow
Democrats; let it not suffer disgrace.

party lines be abolished; let no Demo. |
