What we can do
The party which, by a subversion of,
tho very foundations of our government,
is now dominant, spares no pains to pro
dace the impression, everywhere, that
they Gold both the purse and the sword,
cud that through these two , great do
usual of power they will again triumph
idea is eiriefully and insidiously spread
and is on that account, more dangerous.
It is done in order to discourage the
brave hearts who so nobly breasted the
storm through which we have just posed
and induce in them the belief that ac
tion is, not only useless, but euioidal, and
tints complete theilestruetion of our an.
lion, not because of a lack of abilhi and
power on the. pagiNot_ita, defenders, but
for the want of a proper use of that pow
er. They wish to intimidate. the men
who defied the chains and dungeons,
banishment and , imprisonment of the
past two years, by threatening them witth
the terrors of a power they puce held ;
.but which the elections of 1 563 wrested
from them forever. They would terrify,
by the brdying of an a.sa, men who quail
ed' not u, the glance of a lion. We , fear
that many Democrats Meth taken the
bait, and-given up the hope of carrying
an eleatio4,end ptieserving whoit yet re
mains of ouitince 'prima republic. This
is all wrong and is just the impression
,enr enemiet*ish to make upon us. We
,fipayutterlifithE either the purse or the

iaaci a tt by tke syrrranaiet of the
ic Party. What amount of the
wealihketthe North is in the hands of the
&Wet Itunclred thousand men who brave

trade hands, who have been most foully
eheited Ude the support of what their
rotas darted?. Let the members of the
ell ptly of the Constitution withdraw
from the army, let the wealth they are
masters of, be witheld from those who"
have squandered it so shamefully, and
the purse and sword ,upon which, the
Republicans so exultingly depend will
vanish from their hands ip a day. The
idea that alatlion and a half of men will
shrink lmek Fom any kind of contest
which may be forced upon them, is ab
surd ; less than half of that number, in
the hands of an able leader, once revolu
tionised Europe, and Shook. the globe to
its very centre, and for inch a number of
men to yield a contest so important as
the one ininw approaching. without stri

ly in the highest degree. Let this elec

The Right Policy
Quite n number of our Democratic ex
ehtlnges areWlClVAeitt, engaged in dis
cussing and fixing up a line of POLICY for
our party to pursue in order to succeed
in the coming campaign. All seem de
sirous of accomplishing the same pur
pose, yet scarcely any two of them agree
on the mode or means of bringing 'about
the wished for end. One says" our plat
form and candidate must declare so and
so, another; that they must avow direct
ly the opposite, and another that they
must stand between the two ; each one
acting as though our good old party that
wrested American- Liberty front the des

from the machinations of tortes, saved
our country from - the Nilo plotaws of
pdritan Abolitionists, for eighty years,
and is to day battling fur its preservation

time of an election, or when offices are
empty and vacancies to be filled.
If our party was like the one nowt lay

her citizens, devoid of honor, principle

We recollect that we once read of a

The name of "Roundhead" was Writ

Cromwell bore it through the carnage of
a score of battles, and Europe shook to

when the proudest armies. - of the world
were scattered like chaff hefwe the once

its po,,sessors were envied by those who
had given it in derision. Can the mem

application •
It is amusing as well as interesting to
witness the efforts made by a few would
ne leaders of the Democratic party to
drag it into a false position. _and make.
the issues between it and Abolitionism
indistinct and unimportant,. To listen
to theii clatter or reed their barren ar
ticles, one would be led to Believe that
tha only difference between the two par
ties, is the mode of conducting the war,
or, the General that shoykl have control
of its °mutations ; whether eirttoli and
niggers should be stolen from this - loan,
or tobacco and niggurs from that ; -wheth
er the Army should move by way of Fred
erkksburg, or adopt 2rEcUlellan;s plan,
a nd try the and other indisl
criminate matters over wlirch they can
have no possible control.
The condition of affairs to-day, when
the substance of the country is being
eaten up in a war which is not certain to
a ecomplish any great or lasting good,
prohibits the rises,if any issue except the
one forced upon trio people by the party
'in power of " weitor PEACE." Between.
these two, every American must choose.
If ho believes the war is right and benetl-.
eial to the country, then he should join
the pilrty conducting it,-and-use his 11111-
COCO to make it successful. If he believe
.the war to be wrong, and will bring only
disgrace and ruin ; it it his duty to 'op
pose it to the utmost of his ability, and
use all his powers bo stay its bloody
course. With the party wielding the
power remains the issues that arise from
the moaner of carrying it on. It is for
mum to decide whether this General - or
that, shall have control of its operations,
or - whether this way or that is the best to
" Richmond." l'or Democrats to cavil
about these minor phints over which they
have no inAuence, is useless and nonsen
sical:
Even if there Was NO principles at
stake, nothing but the crude calculation
of chances, there are good. reasons why
the Democratic party should assume
boldly and fearlessly-. a Toney policy in
the coming campaign. A second hand
war-party at this into day will not work ;
persons in favor of supporting Tuts war
will support the party that began and are
now controling it. Another platy' run
ning a candidate and howling war,' war,
with nothing ttipOinise but a change of
officers:a distribution of offices, and per

The Democratic party is a party of princi
ples. It is the appointed evangel of oertatin
malitical truths and As such itbannotchango.
'From 1792, when JEFFSHBON first contended
against lIAMMTON for Republicanism against
monarchy, down to the present moment,
when his followerave repeating its contests
with the okoriar s himit of the present hour,
the positiothif the Democracy has been one
and identical. Its fundamental doctrines
are enunciated in the Kentucky and Virginia
Resolutions of 1798, the forintr drawn by
Tiros. Je.irensom and the latter by MADE
PON, and have beep declared and re-declared
ns suclPin ntlarliVitery Democratic Presiden
tial Convention. The first Kentucky reatol 7
cation is as follows:
' • • ',-
Resolved, "That the several States composing
rho United Stated of America, are not united on
the principle of unlimited submissjon to their
general government, hut that by compact under
the style,and title of a constitution for the Uni
led, Staten, and of amendments thereto, they eon
atituted a general government for special purpo
bee, delegated to that government agitate - de
finite powers, reserving, each State to ifself, the
residuary 113110111 of right to their own seltgov
ernment and when coerce the General Govern
meet assumes undelegated / powers, its acts are
unatheritativin void end Milo force ; that to this
compact. each State acceded as a State; and in
an integral party; that title government, Orel'''.
ted by this compact, was not made the exclu
sive or final Judge of the extent of the powers
delegated to itself ; since that would hare tirade
its discretion, sad not the Constitution, the 01C11.-
sure of its powers; bet that as in all other oases
of compact, among partied having no common
Judge, each party has as emi . al right ie./edge for
iNeff as well of "Tractions as of the Mode and
measures of redress."
- Has the Democratic party of the present
day departed from this doctrine? Is that
not the doctrine which is now called, ?ado
accursed doctrine of State rights?" and is it
got because the Democracy will not blench
or secede from their old-land marks that her
eons ere celled Traitors. Not follew the
doctrines ; of Jeffeireon indeed I Are not
these his dootrines 1 Who has changed ?
They who, till they could make more by
opposing than by befriending them, shouted
loudest for these tirinolplut and than dmded
their master, or those who quietly, persist
ently, in the face of all danger, in spite of
all columny and detraction, pursue the Ma
id:mugs of their ancient faith, eonflcitintin its
integrity rind its purity.
Neither is it true, as bus been eilligedi
that the beet men of the Denifferatio party
have left• hie fold. Doubtless those who
have gone think they were the best, but
that opinion is shared by - no- one -ales.---
