ONE great di ference between the demo-
cratic party and the republican party is, the
principles of the one are narrow, sectional
and bigoted, while the principles of the
other are broad, national aud even uni
versal. Yet the degree Of civilization is so
much higher where the republican party
is predominant or possO bly, strong that the
law and demoralizing ideas of the democ-
Tacy may with the utmost freedom be dis
cussed and advocated, while the grand ma
tional and universal ideas held and taught
by the republican party cannot be taught,
advocated Or even held in the solid south"
where the democracy is supreme, What a

seem that this alone was sufficient to teach
