30 far from maintaining tho ind;ssol.
nb!e nature of the Federal bond, the
Democratic Party At an early lsriod 10 the
struggle adopted the theory that the se-
cession Of the South absolved the remain.
ing States from all further obligation to
the Constitution, and that they were in.
dividually at liberty to sepsrste and SCI up
for themselves or form new connections
CD such terms Of alliance az they might
pleaae There can be bat little doubt
that she ultimate object Of this scheme
was to reoseauiss under the Montgomery
Coas.itu.iop, whereby the old supremacy
Of the alliance between slavery and de-
nocracy might b. restored, and the dom.
ina.;ou Of the party be perpe,uated. The
key note to this will be fo1ud in ono Of
