FROM Black Rspublicanism, they may

dark chasm which seems TO be yawning
to sDgulph it in the dark abyss which has
received all former Republics.
I'm this connection we take the liberty
TO sntFeat the d emocracy to preserVe their
organic alton, snd to make strdigh4 oHf
Democratic nominations for all ofhees IN
the gift of the people. 1t is better to be
beaten lighting for principle than to win
a victory by the election of men upon nc
distinct and we'll defined principle. Every
day the great truth is becoming more ap'
parent, that tlIa work ofRescaiag the Con
stitution aud perpetuating the Union, hA'
fallen upon we Democracy. The Denoe'
Eacy have always made the Constitution
tbe corner store upon which the Union Ii
founded, and UP IN its maintenance uuim
paired depends ias psrpetuity. Ii IS Cd
only party that has bastled for the consa
tutional rights Of every section Of th
country, and which has truly understood
and interpreted the genius Of this govern
ment. 1t is the only party that has pos
sessed sufficient patriotism and inteillgene
to successfully administer the gQv eTnmeni
Its leading men have always been men Q
enlarged and patriotic minds, and IT
present leaders are not governed and con
trolled By sensaIess devotion to one ide
nor by hatred of, or blind PaFtiaiity t
any particular section. The Democrae
hold with the early fathers Of the RePuh
lie, that this government can only D

tanning the State governments in all the
power and yigor, in ali matters Of dc

They believe in a complete diTorce OF II
government from banks and other corps
rations. They believe in the system

ried into eject by Van Buren--ths sui
Treasury. Ii the Constitution is PreseF'
ed and thu Union restored, it must be al
on the principles so long and successful
advocated by the Democratic party.
There is a great and notle work for 81
democratic party TO perform in the fntuE
1t has by its enlightened and liberal pol

the growth of this great nation-it b

IN unprecedented increse in wealth 81

ocratic government, and to the Democra
10 party belongs the noble and p@1ris'
work Of rescuing this great Republic fro
