The Duty ofthe Democracy.

IF the Democratic party was right inits
last great contest for Liberty and Law, 1t Is
equally so now in the midst of disaster and
defeat. Ever since the Democracy had any
ex xistence as political organization, they
have fought solely for principle. The pro-
lection of the Republic, the preservation Of
the Union, and the maintenance OF the Con,
stitution, have always been, and always will
be, the main objects Of their struggles. To
effect these ends, they ifearlessly arrayed
themselves against party which has boldly
sought to destroy all three. On Tuesday,
November 8th, they met. the enemy, and
were defeated. Theii flag went down, but
not their principles. Like good citizens,
they promptly submitted to the decision of
the ballot-box. but amid the smoke Of the
battle and the shouts ofyictors, their hearts
were cheered and gladdened by the prophet
ic words Of an American poet, Truth crush
ed to earth will rise again!'' And so we be-
lievc it will, in Gods own season. When
that hour will come, we.stop not new to in
quire. The American people must pass
through many trials before the day of THEN
redemption dawns None know this better
than the friends and adherents Of the pres
ent Administration themselves For none
of these evils, are the Democracy response
BILE They honestly and unshrinkingly en-.
deavored to avert them all, and failed. =
But. with this failure, their duty has MOI
ended. 1t is plain and simple. They mus
preserve, more rigialy than ever, the dis
cipline Of yourtime- honored organization. :
No man must leave the ranks now. M
soldier must strip off his uniform, No
only must the veterans remain where the,
gallantly met the enemy on Tuesday, No
venber sth, hut new soldiers for the Uniol
and Constitution, must be marshaled int
Zine. Where the organization was perfect
| let it be kept up N all its strength and yigor
! Where it was defective, let efforts be mad
at once to correct the evil More battle
must be fought and, perhaps, more defeat
must be endured; but for the .acled caus'
Of Union, Liberty, and Law, an American
eeman cannot suffer TOO much, no ma te
how stern may lie the conflict, or how stub
born may be the foe to be encountered. i
