Democratic Shrew OF the Leader
type. Democratic! What a mis-
homer. Every principle OF govern
ment that constituted the Democrat
IL platform In the days when Jeffer-
son, Jackson, Marcy, Edwin Cros-
we'll, Silas Wright, and men OF their
stamp and craftsmanship were Dem
ocratic leaders, has been repudiated
by the present leaders OF the purity.
We defy the State Leader to name
one single measure that was the ac-
knowledged faith Of the party then,
that Is not repudiated by too many
Of Its leaders now to lind place in
the creed Of the party. Down to the
very close OF Frank Pierce's admin
istration the party maintained SOL

edged democrats, that 10 not assent

Of protection. No, No, Mr.. Leaier,
the editor Of this paper was voting
the democratic ticket before your
editor was wrapped 10 swaddling
clo.h.. and continued to be deluded
with the party name until 1876.
Now rs . National, he supports the
measures that constituted democrat
ic faith as promulgated by the sagcs
OF tho democratic party, and rs
taught by Edwin Croswell, its had-
ing editor in the United States, and
acquiesced in thirty six years ago
by dem ocrats universally. Nation
ais would never propose to fuse with
democrats who, like tho Leader, re-
pudiatc the ancient faith, which we
find thus expressed, and constantly
standing ut the head OF the columns
OF the Albany Argus, the national
organ Of the party, when the writer
eapoused its principles, viz:
No connection betreen the g0r-.
esnment and the banks.
No public debt either By the 1ener-
al g0rernmento or by the states, except
for objects of1irgent necessity.
4 constitutional barrier against
tMffOuident state loans.
No grants Of e.rclusire charters
aud privileges Ly special legislation
TO banks.
No s,rindling corporations.
No prescription for honest Opisa>
tons.
Democrats who love justice, cher
ish truth, and venerate principle, are
going with the National party in sup
port of these principles, despite Of
the teachings Of disguised republic
cansLeaders falsely protesting de-
mocracy. To-day there is no demo-
cratic party in the United States !;
the conslomcration that the Leader
calls the party is only cmbittered

nation, have no higher aim than I'm
