But the Democratic party attempted
no such thing a. the subjugation OF The
States. 1t knew that the States were the
true guardians Of the life, hbsrty, and
property Of the citizens, and the Fed sral
Government derives iss strength and pow
81 euly from the hearty CO. operation of
the State co. operations Of the State Gov
ernments, The Democratic patty, in
the exercise of power, gave the States the
benefit OF the doubt, and the Southern
members and Senator's themselves, though
feeling agrieYed bJ the action of the
Norths preferred TO ignore &ha insalt to
their institutions rather than demand any
thing that could interfere with State
Sovereignty. The Republicans then

The principles of ''public safety'a may
require The suppression of ahs New York
Independent, Tribune, the Eeesaing Post
the Chicago Tribune, number OF our
contemporaries of Philadelphia Who now
represent all the ssvirsus patriotism and
self deniaP of tbe State VI Pennsylvania
and nearly the whole press of New Eng
land. The editors and projectors Of
these papers may be very dangerous men
--couspsfators agains& ths public veal
and the veal of the sounEry--and for
that reason they must be secured aud
sent TO Forts Lafayette, Warren aud Nc
Heary. Thecountry may still be at war,
and the new Democratic President may
6ni himself under the military necessity
of having those gentlemen arrested and
tried By military commission.

We do not say that the Democrats
would follow 10 the footsteps oil the Ja-
