jackson and Liberty" is
''the strange device"
that is degraded by the Democratic party by
placing it on their tickets above the names of their
candidates to be voted for at primary meetings
and elections. We have no word to utter here
lagainst jackson. We cherish dearly that ring
ing sentiment of his "that by the eternal the
Union must and shall be preserved" 1t is a
sentiment that is engraven enduringly on the
heart of every patriot from Alaska to Florida,
from the Narrows to the Golden Gate. The de-
voton of American freemen to this sentiment
was written in blood on the pages of American
history, while the Democratic party, that has so
sycophantly stolen his name to advance their
reasonable purposes, was vigorously engaged in
destroying that Union that he said Unjust and
shall be preserved" This policy has been the
leading characteristic of the false Democracy
Calhoun for treason. Whenever they have had
a nefarious scheme to advance, whenever they
desired the elevation of the Democratic party or
its foul measures to the degradation of the Re-
public and the human species, they have deluded
.ths unEary into their support by appropriating
''sH n 1Askspn and its inspiration to the
promotion OF IS - ~
with his devotionsyt ~ men
they wished to make war upon Mexico to rob
her Of Texas and other rer~;.~-y t->t human
sIsgery might be extended and strengthened, they
wheeled unconscious voters into line by -four
ishing ticket at them capped with jackson
and Liberty"
When they determined to stain the virgin
robes Of Kansas and subjugate her unstained soil
to the propagation of African slavery, they sa-
luted him who approached the polls with a
jackson and Liberty" ticket When they
wished to force, upon the bleeding infancy of
this new State, q eonstiintic. that lad been re-
jected by the voice of her people, James Buchan-
an with the influence and lash of the Presiden-
tal patronage leading the van of this anthem
ocratic crusade, they slimed and swallowed in
nocent voters by the degrading use of this, their
constant but deceptive Shibboleth.
When they had made up their minds to de-
stroy "the BEST the mildest, the justsst government
on earth" and were about starting their entering
wedge, they undertook to degrade jackson and
Liberty" and elevate John G. Breckenridge by
soliciting votes for the latter on tickets labeled
"Jackson and Liberty" when the candidate
whose name was inserted under this motto was
pledged, if elected to ignore in toto the teachings
of Jackson.
When the popular heart had become alarmed
by the shock, occasioned by the explosion OF
Confederate bombs that echoed in the dome of the
national capitol, given by this falsely so-called
jackson and Liberty party, they had the su-
preme impudence to ask American patriots to
vote for ,Jef Davis and treason in the shape of
Democratic candidates whose names were adorn-
ed by having jackson aud Liberty inscribed
semi-crcularly above them on a Democratic
ticket. Not rebel in all the land voted any
other than ticket noticed with jackson and
Liberty" from the day that Sumter fell till Lee
surrendered. Not a supporter of JEFF. Davis
from the fiery South Carolinian, tracing his ances-
try to parchment, to the feindish Irishmen in
New York city, who murdered and burned, with
the knife and the torch, defenseless women, chill
dren and infants, during the terrible days Of July,
1868, voted ticket, during the four years of the
struggle for national existence unless it soiled
the motto of jackson and Liberty"
No traitor from the Lakes to the Gulf that did
not glory in the degradation of this inscription
for the promotion of a false Democracy, whose
only legitimate representatives used their DEATH
less energies to destroy the nation.
