sound Democratic DoctrIne.

These SO called Democrats of the
present day who are continually prating
about Negro Equality" need to learn
the teachings of the leaders Of the
Democratic party in times past. II
was Thomas Jefferson, the reputed
founder of that party, who penned the
! memorable announcement in the Decls-
ration of Independence, that "Allmen
are created equal" He was not jeal-
Gus of mis- social position. Universal
Acknowledgement is an essential ele-
ment of all true Democracy. Wequote
a few Democratic authorities Of recent
date, hoping that all of our Democratic
readers will weigh them we'll, and
compare them with the outrageous
doctrines promulgated by Thurman,
Vallandigham & Co., in the name of
Democracy, and which they are asked
TO sanction by their votes:
"All political power is inherent in
The people. Government is instituted
for their equal protection and benefit,
and they have the right to alter, re-
form, or abolish the same, whenever
they may deem it necessary" COnsti-

stitution of this State was framed by
a Convention. of which the presiding
officer and a majority of the members
were Democrats.
"Color ought to have no more to do
with the matter (yoting) than size.-
Only establish q right standard, and
then apply it impartislly. A rule Of
that sort is too firmly fixed in JHSdes
and equality 10 be shaken. 1t COM
mends itself too clearly to the good
sentiment OF the entire body Of vi
countrymen to -besuccessfully t~rayersed
by objections. Once let this principsl
be fairly presented to the people of The
several States, with the knowledge on
their part that they alone are to have
the disposal and settlement of it, and
we sincerely believe it would not be
long before it would be adopted by
every State in the Union."-B0StOn

'The word white is not found in any
of the original constitutions, ave only
that of South Carolina. In every 9TH
er State negroes who possessed the
qualifications that were required i'm
partially of all men, were admitted to
vote. And many of that race did vote
in the Southern States. And, moreo-
YER, they voted the Democratic ticket,
for it was the Democratic party Of that
day which affirmed their right in that
respect upon an impartial basis with
white men. Democrats cannot, even
at this day, have forgotten the state
ment of General jackson that he was
supported by negro voters in the State of
Tennessee. : Chicago Times, Democratic.

"Let our laws and institutions speak,
not of white men, nor of red men, nor
of black men, nor of men of any COM

Ten Commandments and the Lords
Prayer, let them speak of PEoPLE."-
Horace Maynard.
"If you admit the negro to this
for any purpose, he has q right
to stay in for all, and, when the fight
is over, the hand that drops the musket
cannot be denied the ballot. "-GsneraL
