The doctrines OF the Democratic par
~ are inImical to toe genius and solid
ity of Republican government, formed
"a our Government is Of a number of
different States into one general gov
ernment. How the party can hold
that the interests Of ali the States shall
De under the power and at the disposal
OF any one OF the different states, is be-
yond our comprehension. But that IS
the Interpretation OF the sO-called reso-
lutions of 1878, which the party di-
rectly committed itself to IN It's plat
forms of 1852 and 1855, and which had
their full fruitlOn II the war OF the re-
bellion, and which still have their bane-
fuI influence N the party's opposition
20 any healthful legislation which it
deems is to have a tendency to enhance
the interests of the general govern
msnt. Yet, whenever there is an ap-
preparation of money from the Govern
msnt, or patronage IS involved, then
and IN that case the party, or the indl-
vidual Democrat, IS not unwilling 70 re-
ceive the same.
In the Advancement Of the facilities
Of international communications and
relations, the Democratic doctrines and
IDEAS are entirely too inadequate 10
meet their demands and inducements.
The Democratic doctrine IS that
the state IS really superior 10
the general government, that the
the allegiance Of citizen IS principally
due to the state, andlthst MS allegiance
% the general government is entirely
q secondary affair. But other nations
do not recognize this assumed State
allegiance, they deal With him and hold
HIM responsible "a q citizen of the
United states. SuppOsIRg acitIzen OF the
United States, and Of one Of the states,
when abroad, commits an injury 10 the
person OF property of y citizen OF for
eign government. The injured citizen
lays the matter Of his injury before MS
government, and that government
makes demand upon our general gov
eminent for reparsbon for toe injury
committed, and our government has to
respond IN payment for the injury com
mitted. Under such circumstances
where does this assumed state ale
gisncs apply. o. have any significance
AZ slR Where = the recognized power
Of the general government 70 hold the
state. Of which the person committing
ths injury = a citizen, responsible for

payment by the general government for
