Put 10, Powerf

OF Democracy, We bfg leave to
present to the people few leading
incidents in tho life of the old bar
LOT:
II annexed Tekss, assuming the
debts Of that State,a and plunged the
country into q long, bloody and ex'
pensive war on her account.
II elected franklin Pierce Presi
dent Of the United States, upon the
most solemp pledges not to inter
fere with the slavery question, and
Immediately repealed the Missouri
restriction. inviting slavery to occu-
the entire West. The result was a
civil war in Kansas, and the coun-
try was on the verge Of rnin.
1t elected James Buchanan, who
chose q Cabinet from class OF men
who had for years openly advocated
o division Of tho country.
il retained these men in office
even wbilc plotting the downfall OF
the Republic, and defended them
while they we're seizing the arms Of
the Government - stealing United
States property, and preparing for
the overthrow OF the Constitution.
The only pure Democratic States
in the Union seeded thereIrom --es-
tsblished another Government, at
the heed Of which they placed o
Democrat--raised an army of 600,.
600 mep, every one o Democrat
made war upon the old Unicn, and
are now ip the field slaughtoring
Union men and destroying their
property.
For thirty years it has bent all its
energies to the work of sprea ing
slavery apd fostering the institution.
1t has, wherever it has had power,
destroyed freedom of speech and Of
the press--has hung men, tarrcd aud
feathered preachers and insuted
women for expressing an option
recognizing no law but that of force,
no court but that of Judge Ly ynch.
1t has persistently labored to de.
stroy manufactures and to make
America dependent upon the manu-.
facturing aristocracies Of England.
II has always made war upon
weak nations without cause, but has
cowardly avoided conflict with
strong pawors, when the cause was
sufficient.
In every State where it has ruled
there ore no schools, no churches. no
educu,'on, no civiliz ,tion, no enter.
prise, no progress--nothing.
II has protected, strengthened and
extended a system, that by denying
to one class natural rights; has con-
verted Is States into one vast bro
thel.
Il has defiled the pure Caucassion
race in Is States by smalgamatiou
with negroes until there is hardly
. pure white or black to be found
within their borders.
1t has imprisoned women for
teaching children to read.
1t stands to-day in open udisguis
ed opposition to the church, and lis
most weighty blows arc directed at
religion.
In short, its history is on, OF dom.
inse'ipg insoh nee on the part Of one
