From the. memorable campaign of
1800 down to tbe present, amid-all the
shifting issues of three quarters of a
century, the Democratic party has
ever "been in- the field, and with a few
exceptions, notin vain. To that party
belong all the glories of the past; its
reigni- has been the reign of peace
prosperity and-progr'ess; and when at
times it has been displaced, manifold
and bitter evils have come upon the 1
country. ■ The fate Of the nation and
that of Democracy are intertwined.

nals, our histories read as if the dem
ocracy were - the constituted govern
ment, while other parties, arising from
time to time, have been the successive
forms of Opposition. The essential
principles that give snch vitality to
our party, being identical with the
constitution of 1789 tire equally durable.
