OPPOSITION TO THE PARTY, IN Power. =
Now that all men of sense, who oppose
the wild purposes Of the Radical party,
are oaee, mo,rie uniting in the Democratic
party, the hope of the real peoples tri-
umph revives. There can be no doubt
either that the party of tho people must
gain power, or that the liberty of the
people must be oppressed, if not sup
pressed, by the party that opposes the
Democracy. # this last party shall be
as bad 'assit may be REPRESENTED in the
gloomiest Imagination. it cannot be as
bad as we know the other pnlty to be.
The history OF the United States has
never yet afforded-we trust it may
never again afford party fit to be COM
pared with the one in power.
