TIE WASHINGTON DEMOCRAT will be devoted
to the dissemination Of pure "old time Deinoc.
racy,"-the advocate Of just principles founded
upon a strict adherence to Constitutional rights
and due appreciation Of liberty regulated by
Law, ,--mo0ndtjon0lly Union in scutncnt--HR-
chGngeable in purpose, and uncomfortable by the
behests Of any corrupt sectional faction or self
created satraP. Standing upon the broad
platform Of civil liberty and equality, We shall
unfurl our banner to the breeze, inscribed
thereon, in letters Of living light: "LiBERTY
OF CONSCIENCE, FREEDoa OF TnorGHT AND
PrRITY OF TUE BALLoT.Box" This shall be
our motto, and by the help Of God and our
own untiring devotion, We shall maintain it as
long as VIC are able to wiell q pen or al arm 10
strike in It's defense. We want no beating
around the bush, but frank, manly, open
avowal Of principles, and square, honest DC.
claraton Of them before the people. II We
cannot triumph by such course, We will at
least have done our whole duty and preserved
our selErcspcct We yet believe in the capac.
icy Of the people for sclEgovernmcnt, and in
the United States the people control. the gov
ernment-they are Ge source Of all political POireI;
hencp, IL our belief is not founded in error-if
the people arc capable Of srlfgovernment-
they have sufficient intelligence aud honesty Of
purpose to make correct aud Just decisions on
all public questions when taiily presented for
their consideration. We know the people have
been deceived, grossly misled, by the war-howl-
ing fanatics who now have control Of our ma.
tional affairs bringing dcsolntion and confusion,
bordering on chaos and ruin, to the Union OF our
fathers, and unless change Of administrative
policy is soon madc-unlrss the people rise in
their majesty and assert their power in the re-
Inoyal and overthrow Of bad men and their vic.
lent measures, the government cannot be per-
petuated; II must assuredly fall; for no power
on earth can pin together by bayonets such
government as this Therefore, Let US call upon
the people to pause and reflect let us urge them
| n n liNcf f.krf
preserve republican institutions in this land; IL
they would bcqueath liberty to their children
if they would save the Union Of our fathers, they
must awake, and that speedily, to the dangers
that surround them To this end the WASH.
ISGToN DEMOCRAT will be earnestly devoted, by
the use Of all honorable means within its power
to secure the triumph Of the fundamental prin.
ciples Of equal rights, equal justice, cOnserva.
