Convince me that the Democratic party Is more
National than the Republican party; convince me
that their measures will really carry gu peace more

AGGREoSIONs OF THE SOUTH.
When slavery began 10 lift head of power it,
despite both the traditions and the solemn
covenants of The United States. undertook
TO invade the fee territory of the Northwest,
and great and hot debate eDsued, which was
settled by what was called the Missouri Compro-
mise That great National instrument came from
the South and not from the North. As the glowth
of the south still went on with her prosperity ana
her riches and her slaves, then IT became important
thar the South should steal more terri tory, and IL
WAS the south that destroyed the Missouri Co npro-
mise and abolished that line. IL was the SJnth
that invaded Kansas and brought on all those con-
hicts that result ed III 20 much bloOdshed then and
III the wars that followed since.
The Mexican war was not bred and patched IN the
North, IL also OF the whrlpS OF slavery.

to denatIonalize the country and seeking to make

they are not the first. There was sonetnIng of
the same sort hat happened some 5000 years ago.
1t was when Old Eiiji had stood tor the liberty Of
his people and for the truth the religion OF God
that he met Ahab, and Ahab said to him " Art
thou be that tToubleth Israel I" Abab had brought
in the worship of idols and abolished the affairs Of
Jehovah and sought to put mp Balaam'5 affairs and
fill the land with his praise And old Elijah,
with long locks and with burning eve
exclaimed: " | have not troubled Israel. lhou
hast forsaken the commandment $ OF the Lord and
hast br0ugDt IN the worship of Balaam."
