Is there' i Democratic Party I
There
are a few'fossiliferous old codg
ers who sling ink for newspapers, that
write as though they really believed there
was still in existence a parity or political
organization styled the Democratic party.
They have become monomaniacs on the
subject, and. co system of reasoning is
capable of reaching their, benighted and
befogged . intellects, , except it coincide
witn this benef in the existence and com
plete organization" of a Democratic party
i ume-nonored principles." If such
a political Organization exists, it must
certainly have seine distinguishing fea
turessome certain political principles.
What are they? ; "The Democratic party
is in favor of the Constitution," say3 one
of these old "fossils.-1 Just so. But then
this assertion cf a political abstraction
throws no light on the principles of the
party. ThoUsands-of- men went to the
polls on the- 3d of November and cast j

On the third of November last, the
free white j American citizens of th
United States, at the ballot j box, put the
seal of condemnation on any principles

taired to the last . Democratic Nationa
platform. . Fron the inception to the
final winding up of the great rebellion,
tnis so-called Democratic party did have
two weil denned principles -one was, the
unconstitutionality of the war against
secession ; the bther the Union as it
was!'? The first was consigned to obliv
ion when Grant squelched the rebellion ;
the second remains as undefinable and in
definite as ever. She Government fought
bloody and terrible war and- spent mil
lions ot treasure to maintain i the "Union
as it was," while - this so-called Demo
cratic party opposed the war; and by thus
aiaing ana abetting treason, committed
itself to the attempt to divide the Uniob,
ana mate it what it was not, , ,

out, breathed its last on the" 3d of No

This once great party of principles is to

gone on from d i;to- worse until it has
lost the entire" confidence of the people,
and to-day it has 'no foothold except
where besotted ignorance prevails, or the
true expression of the people is prevent
