Wetake no stock in the prophecy
Of certain Democrats, who are con.
tinually saying that this State is
going Republican in 1884. We
don't believe any suchstuf. There
is no reason why the people should
turn against the Democracy, and
put the State back into the hands
Of the Republican party. We are
of the opinion that they have had
enough of that rule to last them a

A Contrast Of Tie Old JeNrer.
sOnian-DenlOcratic Princip.
les With Those Of Modern
RcpublIcanisIn.
We copy the following extracts
from the american Register, the
soundest Democratic journal in
America.
In order that our readers may
have a clear conception of what
constitutes the difference between
Democratic and Republican prin.
ciples, we propose to draw a con.
trast between the two, and to show
up the constituencies of the one and
the hypocrisy Of the other. A tree,
it is said, is known by its fruits.
So must we judge political parties.
First, then, what are Democratic
principles?
/. Equal and exact justice to all
men Of all kinds Of whatever state
or persuasion, religious or political,
2. The support Of the State gov.
ernmentS in all their rights us the
most competent administration Of
our domestic concerns, and the
surest bulwark against anti,Repub.
lican tendencies; the preservation
Of the General Government in its
whole constitutional vigor as the
sheet anchor Of our peace at home
and safety abroad.
8. A jealous care of the rights Of
election by the people; a free ballot
and an honest count.
4. Absolute acqulescence in the
decisions of a majority-the vital
principles Of republics, and from
which there is no appeal but force
the inherent principle and i'm.
mediate parent Of deSpOtism.
8. The support Of the civil over
the military authority.
6. Economy in the public expen.
SEES that labor may be lightly bur.
thened, and that it shall secure a
just division Of the annual profits
Of industry between capital and Ia.
Dor.
7. Encouragement Of agriculture
and commerce, its hardmaid.
8. Freedom Of religion, freedom
of speech and Of the press; freedom
Of the person under the protection
Of the habcus cO7ua and trial by jury
imparlially selected.
8. Gold aud silver, aud gold and
silver certificates Of deposit, dollar
for dollar, issued by the General
Government, the only stable con.
StitutiOnal currency for the coun.
try.
To condense the foregoing we
will summarize these principles in
three short sentences, viz:
l. Revision OF the tariff.
2, Reduction OF taxation.
3. Administrative reform.
Second. What are Republican
principles2
The Republican party has no
fixed principles; they are diversi.
fed, piebald, Chameleon.like, Of
many hues and colors. As we have
said the tree is known by its fruit.
We know that the United States
has been, prior to 1856, bound in .
league Of friendship for over three
quarters Of a century, forming a
glorious, prosperous, and happy
Union, sustained by the principles
Of the Jeffersonian platform given
above, and whose sole charcterist-
les were love and charity, and
which were nursed by an uncor.
ruptcd ballot.box. But the advent
Of that "grand old party" in 1856
brought with it the seeds Of cor.
ruption and disintegration, and
the men who formulated its prin.
ciples declared at tho very outset
of its organization that tho consti.
tuition Of the United States was a
covenant with hell and a league
with tho DEVIL" and that the flag
Of our country was "hate's polluted
rag"
