Second. The main objects and aims
Of the existence of the Republican
party are to defeat the democracy, its
policies and principles. In these the
two parties differ widely; they are at
complete antipodes on every political
and civil proposition that agttate the
minds of the American people. 1t is,
therefore, as impossible for a man to
be a Republican and support the De
mocracy as it would be to change
Gods order of things and cause tho
sun to give light by night and the
moon to shine by day. No, brethren,
there is something else besides this

come over your dreams. Will you not
be candid and let us know what IL
