mocracy great trouble and deep concern Of
mind, and is still mystery unfathomed by
their dminutivs. benghted and bgotsd souls.
The principles Of Democracy are immusabe,
unal,erabe, not susceptible Of change, and
have continued TO be the same in America
from their first announcement down to this
present hour, and when you find man who
has the genuine germ Of pure aud honest
Democracy implanted in his nature, in his
heart, and in bis brain, that man, sooner or
later, wiU find lis Affinity 10 tho great ever

we find the Democratic party which has so
often been pronounced dead by it's enemies,
as alive. as active, as powerful, liz not more
SOY to-day, as it has been at any former pc
Rod in the history OF our Government.
We have digressed thus far to show the
difference between The two political organize
tons which now exist in the United States.
Radicsism has 10 common principle to
bind it's adberen,s together, except the cohe-

grasping for plabe elements to keep Them
in office. Defeat it once before the people,
in a national contest, and its forces scatter
and resolve into the original elements. II

The Democracy will succeed 10 the com

Not ruin the principles, but the practices. for
