Democracy is sentiment not to be APP
palled, corrupted or compromised. 1t
knows no baseness; it covers to no dan
ger; it Expresses no weakness. Fearless,
generous and humane, it rebukes the AFRO
giant, cherishes honor, and sympathizes
with the humble. 1t asks nothing but
what it comedies; it comedies nothing but
what il 'emands. Destructive only of des-
potism, is the sole conservative of liber-
ty, labor and property. 1t is the sentiment
of freedom, of equal rights, of equal obi
cations. 1t is the law of nature pervading
the law of the land. The stupid, the sell
fish, and the base in spirit may denounce
it is vulgar thing but in the history of
our race the Democratic principle has de-
veloped and illustrated in the high moral
and intellectual attributes of our nature
Yes, that is a noble, magnanimous, sub
lime sentiment, which expands our affec-
tions, enlarges the circle of our sympathies,
and elevates the soul ofman, until, claiming
an equality with the best, he rejects, as
unworthy of his dignity, any political i'm
munities over the hunblest of his fellows.
Yes, it is an ennobling principle-and may
that spirit which animated our fathers in
the Revolutionary contest for its establish
ment continue to animate US, their sons,

tion.- William Allen.
