THEY FELL Us WE ARE WEAK,

The little guerilla warfare waged against tn
Democratic party by few disconte nted fac
tons, aided and abetted by some newspaper
Of immova$le neutrality, is destined to al
early and an ignominious termination. The
current Of ;sopular opinion is sweeping ovel
the country and carrying before it all barriers
to the tide II political revolution that COM
menced in New Hampshire, and has now
reached louisiana The spirit Of the nation
seems to hive been thoroughly aroused, and
the hearts If the people throb with JOY at the
bright prospect OF an early redemption from
the hraldoan Of corrupt and imbecle gov
ernmentL administration
As each Ntate makes response at the bal
lot box, it IL in positive condemnation of the
Republicans Administration, and with each
election Lew State takes its position in the
line Of opposition to the further rule Of that
party which, has brought the country to the
verge Of bankruptcy and driven the people
almost to despair. Step by step has this great
political re solution advanced, gaining strength
at each remove, until now it lifts it's mighty
head aloft snd bids proud defiance to all its
foes
A few ye4rs back and Radicalism, fresh from
the fields OF victorious battles, was rampant in
die land. It swept like sirocco over the
country frosu Florida to Maine, carrying in it's
course limb and branch of every conservative
political party. It has held almost undisputed
.,,,
time has controlled and directed the destinies
II this naticn. But with increasing years and |
growing strength it acquired pari passu,
greater arrogance, more independence, more
imperialism, and lost its caution, its wisdom
its patriotism, and finally the confidence and
respect Of the people. Then commenced its
fall, and right easily and rapidly has been it's
descent to the lowest depths Of moral degrade
ton and political impotency
In its stead has risen, the great party of re-
form, of conservative principles Of patriotic
devotion and Of high moral IDEAS With time
i has grown apace, and in the States it has
'aken such hold upon the people, that in four
years it gsined an increase of no less than
|
1nabated-
Radical rale of this country is doomed It's
leath knell has been sounded, and prepara-
ions for it,; final interment are now being
made. Ii
Let those therefore, who think that the i
mission Of the National Democratic party |
MI fail Rad and ponder well over the a
Glowing extract from the New York World '
is an ulansweable reply to the croakings t
the timid aud proves the great strength t
