When the Democratic party held control
of the Government it managed to preserve
the public tranquility by strict and inl-
partial administration of the laws, accord
ing to all sections their equal rights under
the Constitution. Under its wise and liberal
policy the Government was self-sustaining;
and never yethas Democratic Adminstra-
ton asserted any power over the people,
except that which is plainly expressed in
the Constitution, and which was coupled
with the duty of guarding and protecting
the rights and liberties of the citizen. Then
arbitrary arrests without process or war
rant of law-imprisonment without trial
and onviction-Governmen bastiles and
the hundred other implements and appli-
ances to which despOtism resorts-were
strangers to the American people. Every
right which the Constitution cOnfers upon
the citizen was sacredly cherished and pro-
tected. There were no Federal taX-gath-
erers, no shoddy contractors-no oppres-
sion, no civil war-but throughout the
length and breadth of the land the people
were peaceful, happy and prosperous. I'm
der the benign influence and guiding hand
thirteen bankrupt States grew into great
and powerful nation, 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 nation whose progress was so sublime
ly grand and glorious-which in so short a
time attained the rank and fame that our
country four years ago o'enjoyed among the
nations of the earth. Its commerce whiten-
ed every sea, and its flag, borne by the De-
mocracy, had penetrated to every part of
the known habitable world. The name
al
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. At peace with all
nations. and with an abiding faith i'll the
perpetuity of our free institutions, every
man sat down under his own vine and his
own fig tree, and there were none to make
him afraid.
But in 1860, by the vilest frauds the most
unblushing frauds and most lavish prom
ises, the Democratic party was beaten by
the AbOlitionists. Lincoln, the buffoon and
jester, was elected, though he had a large
minority Of the popular. .U0te Of the country
Who does not recollect the promises of the
Wide-Awake orators of 1860? Who does
not remember their shrieks for Freedom
for Economy-for Retrenchment-"Land to
the Landless" for the Homeless "
Let us see how well those promises have
been kept. All who shall tell how many
who voted for Stree lands and free homes"
have been killed? Look at the homes of
America! The wall ofdeath comes from hun
dreds of thousands of blighted tiresides; the
bones of our noble young men are scattered
from the Ohio to the Rio Grande. Look at
this exhibit of what Abolitionism has done
for the country in four short years-reflect
upon the past history of the Democratic
party-and compare Abolition promises
with the benefits you have received. The
benefits realized from the rule of Abolition
ism are to be found in -.
