cling in the sublime theories ofJefferson.
and rejoicing in the memorable illustra
tions Of Jackson. These eminent Dem
ocrats taught their votaries that all men
were created equal, and that the Union
must be preserved. But while their true

hypocrite "steals the livery Of the Court

premium on brass, and while there are
some Democrats who defy their impo-
