DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
PAPER FOR 1861.
THE WORLD
FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPIGN,

EsHE approaching Presidential election ia
Il unquestionably to be the most important
ever held since the establishment of our Govern
ment' Upon its results may not unlikely depend
the continuance Of our republican Government on
this continent The liberties Of the people hare
been inradcd, under the prctence of preserving
liberty their rights assailed under pretended
defense Of those rights; their constitutional priv
ileges destroyed under the plea Of sustaining the
Constitution.
The war for the suppression Of the Southern
rebellion has been made the instrument Of usur-
pauon and Of oppression, and the patriotism Of
the people turn ed to an assault upon free govern
ment The prodigal liberaity Of our citizens in
support Of the war has been used as a means Of
enriching officials, their friends and favortes,
and the money contributed to sustain our armies
has been diverted to the basest of partisan uses
to the most corrupting practices in every branch
Of the Administration.
Tho power and influence of our Government
among nations has been fritterod away, and
monarchy established on our borders, without SO
much as protest from the Washington Admins
uauon. The right oj asyilm has been uiolaicd
i with the conniyGnce and aid Of tho Administra-
hon, and foreigners, who had sought homo on
our shores have been kidnapped by United States
olcials, and sent out Of the country, in violation
Of law and right
papers have been suppressed by military power,
persons have been seized, imprisoned, punished
without warrant, without trial, without judicial
| examination, and our boasted freedom is fast
becoming bywOrd and Il mockcry.
| Finally, tho President has avowed his determi.
nation 10 convert tho war into an abolition cru
sado, and refuses to entertain propositions for
peace, except upon condition Of the abandonment
Of slavery in all the States.
J Shall the Administration, which has thus faiol
/ in its duty-WLch has thus tramplcd upon tho
rights Of tho peoplo--be continued in power !?
Shall the political party which sustains such ell
ciai misgoyernmont be permitted 10 maintain its
asccndcAcy? The answer Of every rcstpatriot
is an indignant NO.
To aid in the great work Of rc-cstablishing tho
Constitution, Of restoring tho Union, and of So
curing to tho people their rights and their ljber-
ties, special efforts must bo put forth to
enlighten and influence the public mind, to
expose the wrongs and abuses Of the present
Administration, arouse the people to a sense of
their dangers, and disseminate, throughout tho
length and breadth Of the land, during the Prosi-
dental campaign, tho great principles Of Demo
cracy Of civil liberty, AMI Of personal and polti-
cal rights.
