When the Democratic party held control
of the Government it managed to preserve
the public tranquility by strict and impair
tal administration of the laws, according to
all sections their equal rights under the Con
stitution. Under its wise and liberal policy
the Government was selt-sustalmng; and
never yet has Democratic Administration
asserted any power over the people, except
that which is plainly expressed in the Con
stitution, and which was coupled with the
duty of guarding and protecting the rsghts
and liberties of the citizens. Then arbitrary
arrests without process or warrant OF law
imprisonment without trial and conviction
Government bastiles and the hundred other
implements and appliances to which despot-
ism resorts-were strangers to the Amerl-
can people. Every right which the Consti-
tuition confers upon the citizen was sacredly
cherished and protected There were no
Federal tax gatherers, no shoddy contrac-
tors-no oppression, no, civil wal--but
throughout the length and breadth Of the
land the people We're peaceful, happy and
prosperous Under the benign influence
and guiding hand of the Democracy, the
little Confederacy of thirteen bankrupt
States grew into great and powerful ma
ton, the shores of which were Tapped by
two oceans, and the people Of which were
accounted the freest and happiest on the
globe. Nowhere in the history Of the
world is recorded the annals of a nation
whose progress was so sublimely grand and
glorious-which in so short time attained
the rank and fame that our country four
years ago enjoyed among the nations of the
earth. Its commerce whitened every sea,
and its flag, borne by the Democracy, had
penetrated to every part of the known iu-
haDitable world. The name American was
the shield which everywhere in every cline,
on every sea-among the Republics Of the
South, and the monarchies Of the East
protected the American citizen from insult
and injury. Atpeace with all nations, and
with an abiding faith in the perpetuity of
ourtree institutions, every man sat down
under his own vine and his own fig tree, and
there was none to make him afraid. FL,
But in 1860, by the vilest frauds, the most
unblushing frauds and most lavish promises,
the Democratic party was. beaten by the
Aholitionists. Lincoln, the bufoon and
jester, was elected, though he had large
minority Of the popular rote Of the country.
Who does not rccollect the promises Of the
Wide-Awake orators of 1860? Who does
remember their shrieks for Freedom--for
Economy-for Retrenchment-'L Land to
the Landless -"Homes for the Homeless! y
Let us see how well those promises have
been kept. All who shall tell how many
who voted for free landsand free homes
have been killed? Look at the homes of
America! The vail of death comes from
hundreds of thousands of blighted fresides;
the bones of our noble young men are scat
tered from the Ohio to the Rio Grande.-
