is surprising no new vocabulary has heen

vanced, much improved civilization. 1t
is easier TO declare what we should do, than
to lay down an interchangeable law for our
future conduct. To me it is very clear
that Democrats should never sacrifice prn-
ciples to popularity; better suffer dcfe; t
contending for the right and principles OF
freemen, than obtain success by fraud ard
falsehood In one case sustained by
vigorous vitality, We should rise again fresh
and strong; in the other after lettering
