soUARELY BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
From III BinghamoH Democrat
On all the questions of moment before the
country places himself squarely in favor OF the prn
cipes that the DemOcratic party has been conendnS
for and had the same words been written by lifelong
Democrat, there is not member OF that party in the
land but what would cordially indorse them. III II

tOnal Convention to indOrse Greeley and Brown, no
Democrat refuse support the ticket the grounds
odOus, unconstitutional acts he has advocated
spatiOn for the Republican party since its BIRTH can 50
frankly out and mdOrse the principles Of the Dem
ocratc party he has met more than na way and 1t
remains for us TO whether shall also advance
part way and smoke the pipe OF peace with him and his
supporters They give tho PLATFORM and agree 10 aid

THE EXPRESSION OF AN HONEST MAN

Upon the veXed question of Free Trade or
Protection he yields his wellknown principles TO
the will Of the people, agreeing to abide by their de-
cison, not rcserying to himself the veto power

b of the writ of habeas corpus he is equally explicit
OF the civil over the military authority. In word, hs
letter the noble expression Of the sentiments OF an
people desiring reform in Government that has become
wOfuly corrupt.
