Democratic" party!
THE Position OF THE DEMoCRArIC PAR
TY.-The Democratic party stands to-day
, where it has always stood, and where, as
long as it remains faithful to Democratic
Principles, it must always stand, ON the
side of the Constitution the champion Of
Freedom of the Press and of Person. "
s s:tr;s'ys~4.',- ' 1900 :
and ertry Constitutional provision is The
fixed and unaterahle rule Of the Demo
cratic conscience; and full and constant
recognition of the Constitution, a. being
, the only obligation that rests upon the
people Of all sections Of the country, and
A. being, also, the only source Of the
power of the Federal Government, is re
quired As a condition of membership with
the Democratic party. Therefore il is,
that against every party, and every policy,
that is rot RICHLY and honestly Constitu-
tinnal in measure, plan, action aud object,
the Democracy always stand themselves
in declared and unrelenting opposition.
Therefore it is, that the people, in the
hour Of trial aud danger. turn contilingly
to the Democratic party. 1t has served
the county in times past, and it will do
80 in this critira. and terrible emergency
Neither the Republican party nor the new
hunbug Union organization has the sa-
gacity or patriotism to restore the Cninn
aud larnorize the contcndng sections.
That good work can only he accomplished
10y the Democratic party. Its mission j.
to maintain the Constitution and To re-.
store the Union, aud no intelligent man
doubts that it will fulfill lis mission.
