demonstrated tn incapacity 10 govern
both foreign and domestic affairs. It
has shown its powerlessness to counsel
wisely even its own party followers, 10
that Democratic congressman are adrift
upon al questions where the power or
public patronage does not compel them
to act alike. Immediately upon its &C.
usssion 70 power. the Democratic party
betrayed the confidence the Amekican
people had reposed iu it. and sincD then
u has continuously shown Itself %
Thoroughly unequai'to the discharge Oh
the high trust coumisfgl to itg care
that its history excites the contempt
and distrust OF every thoughtful cit-
ixen.
