The record Of the Democratic Party,
from the formation of the United States
Government, to the present time, has al
ways been one of marked consistency. 1t
has always been the defender of the Con-
'titution, and has fought with patriotic
zeal and ability, every attempt at usur-
patton of powers unauthorized by this
instrument.
1t has always contcnded that the States
are Sovereign and that the General
Government has no right to transcend
the powers, expressly delegated to it.
If any, are so blind or prcjudlccd,as to
doubt that thisposition ofthc Democratic
party is right, or that the colonies enter
,aincd the same ideas, when they enter
cd into the Federal compact, VIC only in
vtc them to brief rehearsal of few
facts.
In the Declaration Of Independence
VIC find these words:
These United Colonies arc, and OF
right ought to be FREE AND INDEND

what evil have we done to merit such

al and Dcmocraticparty of the country
could tolerate almost anything in creation
but to be broken down and dShonorcd
by association with Il bottle imp and
spoon litter is to much for Christian
patience and forbcarancc. From all
such, good Lord deliver us.

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.
New YoRK, July 27.h, 1872.

New York, July 27.h, 1872.
DEAR TINES After leaving New
London, Conn, n few hours ride by rail-
brought us so Avon, lovely country
Isyillagc, nestled among the hills, and FAM
ed for its charming Surroundings. Five
miles from Avon is the noted Collinsville,
which place is especially renowned as
being tic largest axe-manuE,ctory in the
United States. Plows' and cutlery are
also extensively manufactured here; and
old John Brown, whose soul is still
marching on" procured his famous
pixies, which, in my opinion, opened the.
war, and no doubt, began the end of sla-
very. From thence we visited Winsted,
the terminus of the road, and the rrinci-
pal borough in Litchfield county. It
contains numerous manufactures, mostly
;of various forms OF iron and steel, such
jas scythcs, hoes, forks, drawing knives,
Epins. &c.; the construction and manufi,c-
ture of which it has been my privilege to
sbe an eye witness. Having seen all the
curiositics worthy of note, I embarked
for the Empire State-Ncw York. This
City is indeed, the largest and most i'm
portant City of the Western Continent,
Manhattan Island, on which the City
proper stands, is thiltccn and half
miles i'll length, with an average breadth
sof one and three quarter miles, forming
an AREA of nearly twenty-five square
miles, or fourteen thousand acres.
II AS our Steamer enters New York Bay,
and sails between the vlla-crowncd
shores ofStatcn and Long Island, through
shat marrow passage known as the Mar
rows can be seen the massive battlements
7of Fort Richmond, and the water battery
of Fort Tompkins, ON Staten Island
Passing amid these noble guardians of
the harbor, witha fecting glimpse of the
yfoam-lingercd neck of Concy Island, the
panorama OF the great Island City of the
Wcstcrn Hemisphere is mt once unfold

We have been honorcd with copy of
this work, which we have perused care

unhesitatingly pronounce it the best his
tory of the United States we have ever

1t is written in a such style, that the
student will be naturally attracted, ind
find it easy to mcmorizc.
When he comes to the history of the
recent war, unlike Goodrich, who is un-
able to conceal the spirit Of the partisan,
Mr.. Stephens faithfully performs the office
of the historian.
He records the naked facts, without
comment, whether they are for or against
the South.
1t is an exec lent work in every re-
spect. The mechanical execution is fine.
We heartily recommend it to our:
schools and colleges, and hope that they
will all, without Il single exception,
adopt it rs II textbook Immediately.

ry power, jurisdiction and right, which
is not by this Confederation expressly
delegated to tile United States in Congress
assemblcd.'
The following is also portion of the
lst article of the Treaty of Pence, be-
tween England and the United States
slnged at Paris at The close of the Revo-
lutionary war:
His Britanic Majesty acknowledges
the said States Qhere each of the original
thirteen are distinctly named) to be free
sovereign, and dependent States"
Again, Mhen the Convention met in
Philadelphia, in 1887, for revision of
the Articles of Confederation, four plans
were proposed, two on the National, and
two on the Federal basis.
The National idea being to ignore the
articles of Confederation, and merge the
States into one single National Republic !;
and the Federal plan being to retain the
Federal system, and only make such ad-
ditional delegations of power, rs may be
necessary for better execution of the
Federal powers.
The National idea was Capitalization,
and the Federal, State Sovereignty.
After many days of anxious debate,
and profound thinking, the Nationals
gracefully yielded, and the Federal plan
was adopted.
Thus was formed under the new Con-
stitution, the most perfect model of IL
Confedcratcd Republic" as Washing
ton styled it, that the wisdom of man has
ever conceived.
For the Constitution, thus formed, and
handed to us by our lorcfathcrs,. the Dem
ocratic party has battlcd faithfully, and
At will live to see the day y,whcn its dcfam-
ers will regret that their names arc not
to be found among the defenders of Con-
stitutional liberty.
The whole plan of the opponents Of
Democracy is, to lug in slavery, as one
Of its issues.
Now to say, that the Southern slave
owner murmurcd, because the property,
which was first introduced into this coun-
try by yankee or foreign traders, (and
forwhich he paid his money was violent
ly taken from him, is truth but to say
that the Democratic party, in fighting
for the Constitution, THEREBY fought
for the pcrpetuation Of slavery, is false
hood
This party never objected to any
changes however vast, which any Of the
States may choose to make in its own af-
inrs, but it simply maintains that it
is an unwarrantablc usurpation of power,
and destructive of liberty, for the Gcncl-
al Government to interfere. If any
State had have declared for the cmanci-
patton Of slavery, within its borders, the
Democratic party would never, accord
ing to its sworn principles, have uttered a
word against it.
In proof Of this, we have only to cite,
that when slavery was first mootcd in
Congress, when the Federal or Demo
cratic clement was in power, the house
passed resolution refusing to Interfere,
CT REMAINING WITH THE SEVERAL
STATES ALONE TO PROVIDE ANY REGu-
LATIoNs THEREIN, WHICH HUMANITY,
AND TRUE POLICY MAY REQUIRE"
