PROSPECTU S
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
PAPER FOR 1864.
THE WORLD
FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPIGN,


IENHE approaching Presidential election il
Il unqucstionably to be the most important
ever held since the establishment Of our Govern
ment cpon its results may not unlikely depend
the continuance Of eur republican Government on
this continent. The liberties Of the peoDle hare
been iiraded, under the pretence 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-
patton and of oppression, and the patriotism Of
tho people turn ed to an assault upon free govern.
ment, The prodigal liberaiiy of our citizens in
support of the war has been used as a means Of
enriching officials, their friends and faVOrites,
and the money contributed to sustain our armies
has been diverted to the basest of PARTISAN uses
to the mcst corrupting practices in every branch
Of the Administration.
The power and influence of our Government
among nations has been frittered away and a
monarchy established on our borders, without 60
much as protest from the Washington Admins
tration. The right Of asylum has been rioldts1
with the cOnniyance and aid of the Admins ira
ton, and foreigners, who had sought a homo on
Jul shUIes have been Kidnapped by United suites
officials, and sent out Of the country in violation
Of law and right
Tho iHerty Of the press has been invdded-news-
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 mOckory.
Finally, the President has avowed his dctermi-
nation to convert the war into an abolition cru
sadc and refuses to entertain proportions for
peace, except upon condition Of the abandonment
Of slavery in all the States.
Shall the Administration, which has thus failed
in its duty--yhich has thus trampled upon the
rights Of the people-bo continued in power
Shall the political party which sustuins such eli
cial misgoyernment be permitted to maintain its
ascendeacy TtssSpSwer Of every horest patriot
is an indignant n ~
To aid in the grSt5 work of re-csablishing the
Constitution, of restoring the Union, and of Sc
curing to the people thcir rights and their lber-
ties, special efforts must be put forth to
enlighten and influence the public mind, to
expose the wrongs and abuses Of the present
Administration, rouse the people to n sense OF

cracy, of civil liberty, ami Of personal and pOlii-
cal rights.
