"IS DEMOCRACY DEAD V
The question is frequently asked, "Is,
Democracy dead 1" Thoughtless persons
aik: some singular questions. No man,
who understands what Democracy means,
would ever think of a-king questions that
he (ears and sees answered daily in the
negative in'the expressions of the people
in defense of free coverument. Such men

Manney, jiind others, on matters pertaining
to this Road.
Democracy would be the overthrow of
liberty itself. They do not understand
that it is to the true Democracy we owe
ttie liberty and frtedom we enjoy, and
that these wonld nave .been louij ago
overthrown but for the manful maintain-
ance of the principles upon which our
liberties are based aa expressed in the
creed and doctrines ofthe genuine and
true Democracy.
, The party name may be substituted by
another, but as long as any political pnrty
exists devoted to the sublime p;i!eiples
of free government, that party is an organi
zation of Deuiicraey. We cny call it
Conservative, Whig or what not, for the
sake of policy, and yet the party, adher
ing to these principles, is but the embodi
ment of Democracy pure and simple. We
