lianees with the unchaste factions
with which it has co,habited for the
past few years, nominated the an
cient BILL ALLEN for governor, and
declared for the ancient landmarks
ofthe party, it is interesting to look
at those landmarks and see what
they are. It will be remembered
that. up 70 last Summer, Democracy
meant opposition to the colored
race-opposition to the freedom of
the colored people. opposition to all
laws designed to prevent the exten-
sion Of slavery, opposition to the
freedom of the press, the
pulpit, aud the restrum in the
Southern States; and finally oppo-
sition to the franchisment of the col
-ored man, and the granting of civil
rights, to the colored race. The
Bourbon candidate for Governor
has been a consistent Democrat, in
that he has earnestly opposed ev-
cry measure designed to benefit the
celored people. ~ 1v z
That our readers may more clear
ly see just what the old land marks
of that party were, it is well to go
back to the time when Mr.; ALLEN
was an active politician and see
what the Democratic party was striv-
ing SO earnestly to perpetuate, and
to accomplish which the Southern
wing of the party rebelled and made
war upon the General Government.
The beauties of the institution
which the Democratic party sought
to perpetuate, and for which they
were willing to sacrifice our
Republican Government and its free
institutions, are well illustrated by
the following advertisements,copied
from pnblic journals published at
about the time when ALLEN fos

"ancient land marks" of the Demo
cratic party, about which SO much
is said since the nomination Of Al
LEN for Governor. 1t is well TO oc-
casionally refer to these landmarks
| Just to refresh the memory and to
know the kind Of "stuff'' of which
the Democrats are made. al as,ly
