DEMOCRATIC RE-ORGANIZATION.
Measures are being taken rot only
among the Democratic members of Con
gress, but among the great men of the
party in the different states for a more
thorough ard efficient organization of
the Democratic party. The necessity
for this step is felt and acknowledged
by all conservative men, who, We be-
lieve, are ready to desert the Republi-
can party, controlled as it is by such
abolihonists q, Beecher, Phillips, Sum
FER, Garrison, Giddings, Lovejoy,
Greedy Il Co., as rats are to fee a
sinking ship.
Men who read, and who have treas
urel up as they ought the history of the
past, feel that the only safety to the
Constitution and the liberties of the
people is in the restoration of the Dem
ocratic party to power in the nation.
All classes are beginning to realize that
in the past history Of our government
no sectional party of formidable proper
tons was ever formed until the Repub-
lican organization in 1854. They are
also cognizant of the fact that in 1856,
that organization swallowed up the Alb
clifton party ; and in 1860 in many of
of the Northern States, the domination
of abolitionism over republicanism was
full and complete and that in the
early part of the present administration
all appointments to Office, at home or
abroad. were from the Abolition party;
and that the policy of the Administra-
ton up to the Bulls Run defeat was
controlled exclusively by abolitionism
as much at war with constitutional lib
erty as the vilest secession doctrines of
South Carolina.
One year ago when the Democratic
party, and we as member of that Or
ganization, took ground In defence of
individual and constitutional rights,
questions were raised as to the policy
Of the course, in the party, and denun-
citation and abuse from its enemies. 1t
was admitted, that the sentiments ad-
vocated were correct, but that it was
not the time for their utterance But
let us ask, when are citizens to protest
against usurpations, except in times of
civil commotion and danger ? For any
political organization, or party to main
tain that constitutional immunities are
to cease in times ofpubic danger, is as
absurd as to suspend policies of in Insu
rance in times of frequent conhagra-
tions. These constitutional guarantees
were provided for just such a crisis, and
should never be suspended to the usur-
pations Of a military despotism.
If the Democratic party will not
speak in tones Of thunder in defence of
the constitutional liberties of the Citi-
zen, for what does it exist and to
what other party may the people ap-
peal for protection if the Democratic
voice is silent ? When the history of
this revolution comes to be correctly
written, the loyalty and devotion of the
Democratic party will shine brilliantly
in the record and the safety Of the
Constitution, endangered as much by
false friends as other enemies, will be
truthfully ascribed to it.
It is meet that such a party as this !;
party with record as clear as the
sun at high meridian should again to
the peace and happiness Of the Ameri-
can people, control the dcstinies Of the
Government.
