The Mission of i*riies.
The History of the United Suites fur
nishes some singular facts respecting what
may lie called the Mission of Parties. The
National Republican, or as it called itself
in Geu. Jackson's days, the Democratic,
had almost absolute sway of the govern
ment from its formation to the termina
tion of Buchanan's traitorous administra
tion, for although during that time its op
ponents in a few instances elected Presi
dents, they seldom obtained a decisive
control of Congress for more than a few
years. From the day of the elder Adams
what we will by courtesy call the demo
cratic party held for its motto " Equal
Laws and Equal Rights," and though at
times in a measure departing from those
time-honored doctrines, it continued to
prosper and held firm footing in nearly
all the States. During all this time the
Declaration of Independence, with itssig
nificant assertion at the outset that " all
men are created equal," was annually read
and listened to with reverence from Maine
to the Gulf of Mexico, from the Atlantic
to the then bounds of civilization west
ward. Abstract theories were occasional
ly advanced in the Southern States, but
these were so successfully combated by
enlightened minds in their midst that
they amounted to no more than the ridic
ulous assumption frequently seen and
heard at so-called democratic meetings
that Liberty can mean both Freedom and
Slavery! The first great dereliction from
duty and profession that party committed
was in 1819-20, when a large portion ar
rayed itself 011 the side of Slavery, justify
ing it as morally right and eiaimingpeeu
liar privileges under the Constitution, not
only for its preservation where it existed,
but for its extension. From this arose the
Missouri Compromise, which, although
for many years regarded as a masterpiece
of legislation, was in reality the founda
tion of all our subsequent difficulties to
the inception ami close of the recent re
be) Lou, because it was a victory for the
i?lu\e lower. I :oni that time forward
(though then quite young) we were per
sonally cognizant of the rise and progress
of Nullification, a doctrine which had
hardly a single supporter among the
Northern democracy, but had obtained a
tirni loothold with the leaders of that par
ty South. The masses however were not
yet ripe for Calhoun's schemes, and that
wily politician, failing to accomplish his
purposes of aggrandizementthrougli Gen
eral Jackson, whom lie had at one time
hoped to make a convert, turned liispow
erlul mind to making Slavery of personal
interest to many who had thus far regard
ed the institution as of doubtful right
morally or religiously. In this, with the
aid of able and trained coadjutors, lie suc
ceeded, and through them the Maryland
and \ irginia ohivalric slave owners were
soon taught that slave-breeding was far
more profitable than raising doubtful
crops. I p to that time owners parted
with much reluctance with servants, many
of whom had been their playmates in
childhood and subsequently almost com
panions; and the slave-trader was then j
regarded as little better than an inhuman j
monster with whom association was to be ■
shunned save under actual necessity. We
can recall to mind at the present day the
strongest kind of expressions made on the
streets of Baltimore forty years ago against
a noted slave trader residing a short dis
tance from tiie city, whenever it became
known that he was filling his dens with I
husbands torn from their wives, wives
from their husbands, and children from '
their parents, preparatory tosendingthem
to the rice swamps of Carolina, the cotton j
fields of Georgia, or sugar plantations of j
Louisiana, there to linger out a life of tin- !
requited labor, without a hope of ever lie- '
ing restored to, or even hearing from, their I
kindred. The Pulpit was next approach
ed, and by the time Van Buren's admin
istration had passed away. Gen. Harri
son hud died, or as was probably the ease,
had been poisoned, dozens of southern
preachers had discovered that it was a i
very convenient thing to have a bondman
whose sweat could be appropriated to a
life of luxury and ease, and cases actually
occurred about that time where professed
ministers of the Gospel sold human flesh
f>r gold and silver! With such teachers,
it was an easy matter to indoctrinate the :
rising generation with a belief that sla
very was not only right in itself, of Di
vine origin, and that the solemn enunci
ations of Jefferson, Madison, Washing
ton, and the long list of sages of the revo
lutiou, were but " glittering generalities,"
well enough for reading at Fourth of July
celebrations, but practically out of place.
The North however still kept firm that
Slavery was an evil, tolerated because it
was here, and could not well be avoided.
Here and there however a demagogue was
found among the democracy, who with
visions of oilice before his eyes—the flesh- 1
pots of Egypt—began to whisper that our
.•southern brethren were being wronged
by the abolitionists who talked too much
in this land of free speech and free thought! [
Although all the abolitionists at that time '
in the country could have been packed in J
any ordinary hall, designing .Southerners
saw a hobby which they well knew would
lire the hearts of their tools, and hencefor
ward "abolitionism" was magnified into
proportions calculated to scare the whole
slave power into convulsions.
Power however was still retained by the
Democracy, for as yet they had not open
ly deserted the great land-marks under
which the Great Ruler had seemed to keep
tiieni in place. Another warning was
given them in the election of (Jen. Taylor,
but he too passed away, whether a victim
to crime or disease, is beyond human ken.
From that time the mask under which
the Southern democracy had trepanned
the North into its clutches, was thrown
aside, and cruelty and injustice became
the rule of legislation against the unfor
tunate slave. Through Pierce's and Bu
chanan's administrations the whole power
of the government, Executive, Legisla
tive, and Judicial, was prostituted to the
creation of a Slave Oligarchy, or failing
in that, to a Disunion of the {-states and
the establishment of a Confederacy with
human bondage as its corner stone. From
the hour the Northern Democracy osten
sibly sided with the aims of Davis, Breck
inridge, and other conspirators, the Hut of
Heaven seems to have gone forth for the
disruption of that party, and with it the
total destruction of Slavery. The war
brought out the patriotism of the masses,
for that the leaders of the democracy had
not been able to pervert or eradicate, but
still numliers sided with the rebels, and
there is no doubt many would have se
cretly rejoiced to see them succeed in their
nefarious scheme of disrupting thisiia
tion. But it had been willed otherwise,
and since then what is left of the demo
cratic party has been engaged in opposi
tion to all and every measure calculated to
restore law anil order in the late rebel
States. Instead of regarding the conspir
ators who caused the war, with its fearful i
sacrifice of life and maimed and wounded
men, its debts, its taxes, and disorganiza
tion of society, as criminals, they laud
as heroes and express their willing
ness to admit them to power as rulers, al
though nine out of ten have perjured
themselves twice over since 1861, have
imbrued their hands in loyal blood, burnt
and destroyed private property, stole hor
ses and other live stock, and robbed pri
vate individuals of clothing and watches
on the public highway with as little com
punction as the burglar breaks into a house
or robs a safe. Their acts were no better
and had no more show of right than those
of criminals who for less offences are now
paying the penaly for their had conduct
in the penitentiary, and for the life of us
we cannot comprehend why democracy
should advocate the full pardon and res
toration of rebels and pirates and at the
same time overlook the inmates of peni-
tentiaries, work houses, and jails. What
ever can be alleged against any one of
these classes, is doubly applicable to re
hellion and treason, the highest crimes
known to the Constitution. The Repub
licans are willing to forgive the misled
masses, and even others on probation—
the democracy would take vipers to its
bosom, nourish and feed them without re
gard to their conduct, and all for the sake
of getting the votes and influence of tiiese
desperadoes. Such is a brief outline of
the Democratic Party, a party which so
long as it even in part carried out what
appeared to be the Destiny of this great
country, had power and place, and lost it
by being faithless to its trust. In our next
article we shall refer to the Rise, Progress,
and Destiny of the Great Republican Par
ty, the strongest and most powerful Po
litical Organization that ever existed in
this coma try.
