The Demsoraoy-The Future.

from me WOTtds
Nothing is farther from our purpose than
to indulge in vague and barren defamation
about the Constitution. The Constitution is
piece of written or printed paper But there
are certain principles embodied in It which
would remain true if every copy of the docu-
ment were burnt and its contents forgotten;
just as the principles Of geometry would have
remained true if every copy of "Euclid' had
perished in the night of the Middle Ages. 1t
is only the endangered and discarded princi-
pies of the Constitution that require attention
now, and these are precisely the principles OF
which the Democratic party have always been
the champions. The question is, whether they
are exploded errors or ever-abiding truths
We plant our standard boldly on the great
cardinal doctrine of State Iights-the stone
which the recent builders have rejected, but
which must, nevertheless, remain the chief
cornerstone of the Democratic party. sit
moves, nevertheless - said GalileO, after his
abiuration of the earths motion: and the doc
trine OF State rights remains true no matter
who recants it. 1t is not the name that we
contend for, but the principle; and the princi-
pie Is IN the very nature of democratic institu-
LOAS' Inc lerlnentlnS aCtVlty generated III
democracies has always made democratic COM
munities ambitious and often aggressive. The
thirst for dominion and extensive territory is
a natural instinct of democracy; but an exten-
slye democracy naturally crumbles to pieces
under its own weight. monarch reign
ing over vast dominions is not likely to
share the local passions of any part Of
them; but where the people rule, as in a de-
mocracy, the local passions of one part may
domlneer over the interests of another. or the
clashing passions of different parts may rend
them asunder The only remedy for these
evils in large country with democratic insti-
tutions, is to leave local matters to local CON
troll, and coniide to the general Government
only those interests which are common to all.
This principle has its roots in the verv nature
OF democracy and in the nature of man.
There is no other refuge from the discords
which result from its violation than to return
to the principle or to replace free institutions
by monarchy. We have full faith in the
democratic instincts of the country and "a
feel safe from throne. We believe there
fore, that the experience of evils win carry MS
back to local self government: in other words,
to State-rights.
