1T WILL NOT PERISH FROM THE
EARTH.

OUTLYING twenty years Of defeat; sur
viving disaster after disaster; traduced and
slandered, denounced and villified as no
other political organization was ever before
denounced, slandered and villiied, the
existence of the Democratic party, strong
vigorous party, to day, shows that its
foundation must be rock-rootedln principles
that can never die.
And this result said an eXultant Ohio
Republican, in the presence Of Senator
Thurman, the other day, wipes out the
Democratic party"
"Wipes out the Democratic party inter-

The Democratic party can't be wiped out.

never die so long as we have a form of free
government. You might as well try to
make me believe that the world would be
burned up next week as that the Demo.
cratic party would be destroyed while this
Government is Republic"
And what, inquiries the St. Louis Repub-
lican, is the secret of this wonderful vitality
and rugged strength? Supreme confidence
in the people and supreme devotion to their
interests; the same confidence and the same
devotion which inspired Jefferson in his
struggle with Federalism, and gave us
real republic instead of the monarchical
sham that Hamilton would have had. FL
deity to the letter and spirit of the consti-
tuition, opposition to all centralizing tenden-
cies, recognition of the original and inalien-
able rights of the states, and not
the states for the sake CT the Union,
economy in the management of
national affairs, equal rights TO all and ex-
elusive privileges to none--thcse are the in
destructiblc principles which enable the
Democratic party to falsiiy the predictions
of its foes and defy misfortune to do its
worst Those Republican papers which are
chuckling over the Ohio election as death
blow to Democracy, seem to forget that De-
mocracy has borne hundred such without
fainting or faltering, and can, if necessary,
bear hundred more. If New York should
follow Ohio, and every Northern state fol-
low New York, the Democratic party
would still stand as firm and undaunted as
when it was a stranger to defeat and the
petted child of victory. Beneath its feet is
the rock of eternal right-not the shifting
sands of popular opinion; and while it re-
mains upon that rock Democracy can never
perish.

Of national supremacy show thciv utter ~
| norancc of the entire theory Of this govern
ment The nation is not supreme as opposed
to the states, and the states are not supreme
as opposed to the nation, for SO long as the
constitution is obeyed, there can be no pos
siblc conflict between the union and the
individual states. The federal government
is supreme in its sphere of action,
for the constitution says that the
constitution and all laws made in pursu-
ance thereof shall be the supreme law OF
the land. And the constitution also says
that the powers not delegated to the United
States, nor prohibited by the constitution to
the states, are reserved TO the states
respectively or to the people. To the estates
to use the words of the con-
stitution, are each supreme in its own
sphere. The attempt to show that the
rights of the states are in conflict with the
powers delegated to the federal government
IS but the beginning of treason. No man
it to be citizen OF free government will
ttempt to set up strife between the
eserved rights of the states and the powers
by the constitution to the perpet-
lal union.n

the on-rush of the three or four rebel regi-
ments, it was thought for time that il
would be annihilated; but it stood its
ground as firmly as the forest trees about
it, and came out of the fight the worst
decimated regiment on the ground. For
heroic conduct in this engagement, the old
Colonel richly deserved star, but it was
not given to him then, nor afterwards, al.
though he fought bravely and well in full
half score of holly contested battles. He
went into the war a colonel, and remained
colonel to the close, because he remained
Democrat. After fifteen years of retire
ment his neighbors now ask him to take
charge of their county affairs, and he has
consented to do so.
