The grand old Democratic party. which
has witnessed the rise and fall and with
stood the assaults of many parties, We
take it. is not dependent for life and
strength upon any one or two men or set
of men. We therefore expect the great
living. conservative masses, who com
pose its bone and sinew. in the next
national contest to rise in their might
and assert themselves in platform upon
which all may stand and fight squarely
shoulder to- shoulder, to victorious con-
clusion, against the common political
enemy.
