selves that they shall not be too much ele-
waited by victory or depressed by defeat.
Defeat often brings with It u blessing in
disguise, but victory Is attended by respon-
sibilities which cannot be concealed. The
Democratic party in its hour of triumph
should realize this truth, and should 50
shape its policy and conduct its affairs as
TO command the increased confidence of
the people. As we bury our dead out of
sight, whether they be friend or foe, so 1t
behooyes a great party to bury dead issues
and to direct the whole force of its energy
to dealing with the living facts and ques-
tons of the day. They will crowd upon
us fast neutrality-suspicious. which relate TO
finance and taxation, to reduction of ex-
penditures and taxes under the Federal
government and the State, to free canals,
free trade, free elections, and to the asser-
ton and maintenance in every way of the
lights of American citizens everywhere
and Of a free people in the free States to
the blessings Of a free constitutional gov
eminent in the United States. Upon these
questions we shall be prepared to meet
our opponents. They who have hitherto
failed and still do fail to give to
us a sound currency or a wise financial
p~olicy-they who favor high tolls upon
the canals which embarrass the internal
commerce of this State or of other
States, and high tariff which, extending
special favor and protection to the privil-
edged few, makes them rich while it robs
the masses Of the people and makes them
poor-they who, losing sight of the flnda-
mental principle npon which the Union
was formed, and the advocates Of what
they call q strong government, which the
experience Of the past and the observation
of the present shows to mean q weak peo-
ple--they who would have of the country
a great central power which should regu-
late and control all the internal affairs Of
the States and hold within its grasp all the
rights and liberties of the people. The
war, which separated States and people
and parties, has passed the passion and
animosities which it excited are fast sub
siding. With peace comes the duty of cul-
tivating brotherly feeling, charity and har-
monious relations among fellow citizens.
Let us usher in with the coming year an
era Of good feeling. The task will not be
difficult to us who are the %victors, for the
proverb tells us that I" those my laugh who
win" Nor should II be difficult to our
political opponents, who control so large
a share Of the government.
