DEMOCRATIC STATE CON TENTION
At no time since the organization of
our Government was it more incum-
bent upon every lover of Democratic in
stitutions than now. to lend all his en-
ergies to the support Of the Constitu-
ton and the maintenance Of the I'm
Mon.
and in the accomplishment of this
high duty, it becomes necessary to
maintain the integrity of the Demo
cratic party. In times past, the best
and greatest of American Statesmen
have predicted the evils that are now
upon US, should sectional party tri-
umph in the election ola Chief Magis
trate for this Government. Washing
ton in his farewell address warned us
Of the danger of geographical party.
Thos. Jefferson, said the organization
Of political parties coinciding with mar
ked principles, moral, geographical and
political fell upon his e:r like the sound
Of a 6re-bell in the night. Again, he
said it sounded to him as the knell of
the Union.
Against this factious spirit we have
ever felt it duty to contend, and to
do SO now is to struggle for the MAIN
tenance of the laws and the Union.
Such men as R. B Riett, and the
school of politicians following in his
wake are the only disunionists, per Sc
in the South, while in the North, Gree
ty, Raymond, Webb, Beecher and
their adharents and followers are equal
ly disunionists, that have labored long
and earnestly to bring upon our coun-
try all the tolls now upon her. This
latter party is not up to our standard of
loyalty to the Constitution and the
laws, not sufficiently devoted to the
American Union as formed by the pat
ritot Fathers Of the Republic, to in
spire the American people with conf
dence in their ability to sustain friend

cratic party have rallied throwing it.

for nearly half century. There is
where every true man stands to day.
The Government was formed with
twelve slave and ore free State. Ev
cry man true to the principles of these
patriotic Fathers now recognizes
the right of all the States to
amend their constitutions, and establish
slavery in their limits if they deem it
advisable; yet none fear it. Still under
our government as framed by the illus
trious men ofthe past, the right exists.
All Of our territory is now organized
upon Democratic principles, leaving
the people there, as in the States, the
light to do as they wish with the insti-
tuition; thus acknowledging the cor
rectness of our principles.
The tariff question is in issue, still
we predict the Republicans themselves
will at the session Of Congress about
to cnsue, model it upon Democratic
principles; for revenue, and not for
protection. The question Of a Nation
al Bank may be made an issue, but if

condemnation of the masses. The peo-

evils Of Banking within tie last few
