ing overthrow the Government established by
the WISDOM sagaoiiy and patriotism Of Washington,
Jefferson Madison and their associates and establish i'm
its stead strong, overShadowing and centralized des
potism State rights, which have protected the liberty
of the citizen, be struck down. State lines to be
eberated and the Federal Government is to usurp the
control and direction of the domestic policy
tutions Of the This the policy the Admins
tration party Its leading members boldly proclaim it,
and the which have transpired advent
of the present Administration into power clearly fore
shadow hat such is its purpose.
Such is the issue presented to the American people
II is for them to illustrate the capacity Of for self
government by insisting a government Of the people,
just forefathers did, in opposition ariso-
cratic arbitrary and kngy power. SO long have pros
persd and enjoyed the blessings Of civil and religious
freedom, that fail appreciate their value and have
almost forgotten the sacrifices by which they were
achieved. Power stealing from the many to the
few and unless the people boldly and manfuy meet the
present crisis long the government the any will
become the government Of the few and instead of being
the asylum for the oppressed Of all nations, will
become oppressive with its orders and burdens the
most despoc.
The SENTINEL will continue to advocate old fashioned
Democratic doctrines believing firmly that the only hope
preserving Republican institutions their
premacy in the administration of the government These
clearly comprehensively forth the
following platform prepared by Thomas Jefferson, the
founder of the Democratic party:
Equal justice all men, of whatever state
| persuasion religious or political;
Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all
tons, entangng alliance with none;
The support of the State Governments in all their
rights, the most competent administrations for do
nestle and the surest buwarks against anti-e
publican tendencies.
The preservation of the general government in its
whole constitutional vgor the sheet anchor of
peace at home and safety abroad,
Aiealous Of the right of election Ivy the people,
mild and safe corrective Of abuses which are Topped
by the sword of revolution where peaceful remedies
unprovided.
Absolute acquescence in the will of the majority the
vital principle Of republics from which there is appeal
but to force the vital principle and immediate parent Of
A well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace
and for the first moments If war, till regulars may
lieve them.
The supremacy Of the civil over the military author
ity csR
Economy in the public expenses, that labor may be
| lightly burdened;
The honest payments of our debts and sacred preser
walton Of the public faith;
Encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce its
handmade
The diffusion Of information and arraignment Of all
abuses at the bar Of public reason;
Freedom OF religion;
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS:
AND FREEDOM OF PERSON UNDER THE PR0TEC

And trial by jureS impartially selected.
This is a platform upon which every Democrat and
every citizen stand and if free government-'he
