GOVERNMENT is Instituted for thC
benefit Of the people; and partie.
should be organized for the sole pur.
pose Of insuring a faithful administra
ton Of the government. When
political party organization answer,
the true ends Of its creation, il de
serves to be supported by all good
men, because it is a blessing to The
country. Hence all true Democrat:
are proud Of that organization. Born
Of the people, devoted to the COnsti
tuition, and the enemy of fan8ticism
and despOtism, s1dth The friend Of lib.
erty, it has hitherto stood up and
manfQlIy Isbored in its holy mission.
But there are in the Democratic par
ty, as In all political organizations,
camp followers, who consider SUCCESS
the end and aim Of party Organiza-
tiOns; and to accomplish this object
they are willing to throw principles
to the dogs, sacrifice faithful friends,
and elevate, in their stead, tricksters
as INSCRIPTIONS and unprincipled
as themselves. There are but few
Of this class Of Cowboys in the Demo-
cratic party; but what they like in
numbers they make up in fuss and
rant. To judge from the noise they
create, one would naturally suppose
that the Democratic party was ready
to spit upon its canOnized creed, join
in an Unholy crusade upon the Con
sdtutiOn, accept usUrpations, embrace
despotism and vote for q jackass,
provided he had the power by his
bray to charm voters and to win that
success which is necessary to a distri-
button OF the public plumber. To
show the infamy and basenessof these
political pirates who "accept the stu
alton" against which they have so
long Warred and characterized as "un-
constitutional and revolutionary
who pronounce as accomplished
facts" atrocities which destroy the
Of the States, the liberties Of
lbe people and the constitution of the
country, we have only to refer to their
programme. The New York Herald
dominates Sherman and says he is the
nan to win. The New York Sun brings
onward Charles Sumner, and pro-
lounces him as a marvelously proper
andidate for the Democracy. An
.tber suggests TrUmbal; another
rings forward Chase; and still an
says we can't beat Grant and
the offices unless we unite on a
hermaphrodite ike Gratz
Brown. These political prostitutes
re not only willing to accept the un-
Constitutional outrages Of Radicalism,
they are eager to support sumner
nd Trumbun, or other fanatics who
ave aided in fastening these atroci-
ies upon an oppressed and down
fooden people. If the great Demo-
ratio party Of the nation has STONED
% low as to be governed by such I'M
'rlncipled leaders and such unworfbv
notives' 1t had better disbapd al once
or it will be regarded az corrDnt an5
unworthy Of success, and the p~aonla
viii turn from il with disoBst -
oathing. Bal we stiu have hone
1he Democratic hosts will vet
rise in their strength and crush
at the thieves and plunderers who
7ould desecrate the altar, betray the
.tadel, and sell themselves for a mess
fpottage. The true Democratic fac
lust be carried In the face Of defeat.
be people cling to the Democratic
srty from a conviction that itsprfnel-
les and its aims are those Of truth
