The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1874-06-12

the grand triumphal march across the
continent, which will end in the
Presidential campaign of 1876.
There should be no divisions in our
ranks upon fundamental principles.
Upon questions Of political economy,
and especially that of finance, we
have only to recur to the time honor
ed doctrines OF our party to learn
the true path of duty. The times
demand equal rights and privileges
to every citizen, and no special priv
ileges to any; one currency for the
rich and the poor; political power
given back to the, people, and not
centralized in the hands of the few;
economy characterizing all our acts,
and the laboring and producing
masses protected in all their rights
ERoM HON. J. B. STORM, NJ. c. pENNsYL-
vANIA.
To the sound views entertained by
your club on the great questions of
finance, tariff and State rights, is
owing the series of splendid victo-
ries which the Democratic party has
achieved.
FROM THEODORE MILLER, JUDGE OF THE
THIRD NEW YORK JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
Yours requesting me to attend the
reunion at the Manhattan Club House
on the sixth day of May was duly re-
ceived. 1t would give me great
pleasure to be present and unite with
you in the celebration of the late
Democratic victories, which promise
much for the future welfare Of our
common country, on the occasion
named, and I only regret that absence
upon official duties will deprive me
OF the pleasure. I sincerely hope
that this assemblage of tried, faithful
and distinguished men from different
parts Of the Union will accelerate the
great popular revolution, which has
already auspiciously begun and adj
vance the cause of sound Democratic
principles and good government
throughout the land.
DISPATCH FROM EX-SENATOR CAssERLY OF
CALIFORNIA.
Invitation just received. I am in
brotherly union with you all, l hail
most joyfully the bright ascending
star of Democratic victory.
FROM SENATOR j. W. STEVENSON OF KEN
TUCKY.
I am called to Kentucky on Mon
day next by important professional
engagements, and must therefore,
forego the pleasure which an accep-
tance of your courtesy would have
afforded me.
The political results which you
propose to honor are worthy of com
memoration. They are omens of a
political revolution, destined, I trust,
to bring back the Government within
its former constitutional limits as ex-
pounded by its founders.
Let the next presidential contest
be one of principle, not policy. Un-
furl your old and honored standard
sheet and emblazon on its proud folds
the political faith of the fathers.
A rigid enforcement of the limita-
tions Of the constitution of the Uni
ted States against the exercise of un-
licensed and arbitrary centralized
power.
Local self-government in every
State and free exercise of every
power not delegated to the General
Government.
A sound, stable currency so essen
tial to the rewards of labor, so indis:
pensable to honest enterprise, and
SO necessary to our national prosper
ity.
A fearless preservation of the ma
tons faith anf o faithful preserva-
ton of the nations honorl
Rigid integrity and economy in the
administration of the Government
and prompt abrogation of all pro-
tective duties "for projections
sake p
Universal amnesty and the equality
Of the Statesl
For the success and supremacy Of
such and kindred political principles,
let honest and patriotic men be invi-
ted to unite throughout our country,
and American Constitutional Gov
ernment may yet be preserved. 1T
is now confronted by dangers.
