The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1866-07-07

l.Jeifersonian } Demecracy is the only foun.
dation of successful resistance to this
revolution. There are politicians who
think the Democracy can save the coun-
try only by nominating men for Office
who misrepresent the principles of De-
mocracy. There are others who think
the best way is, to deny the truth, and
run our candidates upon a platform Of
lies.
Sir, one man with hypoorite's face is
bad enough, but whole party with such
lying visage is horrid sight. (Great
applause \ whole party composed of
nobody but strikers and bummers for
Office, is sight to make the gods laugh
(I4auehter) OF all sights, that i the
most sorrowful to see Democratic thieves
attempting to steal Black Republican
thunder. (Laughter) Is this wretch a
maniac. who stains himself with the
blood of alurderers, and goes out asking
honest men to vote for him? He is fit
companion Of the deinagogues who put on
Biafk Republican tfeerg and SO forth to
solicit Democratic votes. A hundred
wears of this kind of campaigning, would
show that there always will be class Of
honest Democrats who can never be
caught in such an infamous surrender Of
their principles Jcf;ason Democracy is
the foundation of the government of the
United States. To abandon those prin-
ciples is to overthrow the Government
There is no other name given under
heaven whereby our country can be
saved but that of the grand principles of
government laid down by Thomas Jefier-
son Jefferson was not only the father
Of the Declaration of Independenee-he
was really the father of the government.
and the founder of the Democratic party.
Had the Democratic party, glorying in
its own record, stobd firmly upon its own
foundations, this terrible conflict could
never have come. And until the Demo-
cratiasparty returns to its own founda-
tions, it is powerless for any patriotic
work As tender to this Black Repub-
lican revolution. what contemplate
thing it is! Loud applause) 1t bears
the same relation TO the Black Repabli-
can party that muldtto does to a negro.
All our political campaigns here in the
North are simply races between a mnlatto
and negro, and the negro has proven
himself a man of the best bottom Loud
laughter.) This is according to nature,
because the mulatto is a nloagrei, possess
Ing the strength of neither of the original
types. When the race opens again be-
tween the ,rhife nlo, and the negro, we
shall be proud of some better results.
Our mulatto politicians. planging about
in Infinite froth-cceans Of loyalty,
make terrible speeches against such
things as Negro Bureau aud Negro
Rights bills, but, sir, the real point To be
aimed at, is the principle on which all
these atrocities are based. Leave the
roots Of the upas tree in the ground, and
you throw clubs at the branches in vain
Never, never can you rebuild the splendid
edifiee Of Democratic liberty upon these
Black Republican foundations The
walls are sunk in the blood of fieenen
! While they stand, they rest upon the lib
critics of nation! You must dig them
up, and throw them out. You must have
neither respect nor mercy for the douhly
jabhorrcd conspirators Of Congress. Re-
spect for such men is weakness, aud
mercy is crime Nail traitor, upon
their forehead, and set the populace to
crying traitor whenever they dare to
appear in the public ways, aud YOU will
very soon bring their rule to an end.
Learn lesson from the fate of the beau
tiful republics of Italy in the fifteenth
century fell, not from the strength
of the monster Caesar Borgia, but from
| the timidity and hesitation of the leaders
of the people. The people, if we'll led,
would have made a very sudden end Of
the whole abhorred race of Borgias. All
beautiful Venice lovely Florence hap
! py Bologna proud Rpmagna where
now are all your glories? God preserve
my country from such fall God give
pluck, and honor, and manhood to this
peoplel The pestilent majority of Con-
gress is another family of Borgias May
the vengeance Of God and man fall upon
them. Tremendous applause)
