Victory having been won on the basis of thi.

Op pwtd to these, following the k-.id and teaching of Thomas Jtfferson, vas the victorious common jn-ople who felt that they should be trusted to govern themselves. Known first as Republicans, they were afterwards called Democrats, and used the name to express the conviction and tin letcrniination that the people should nle. Ine J)etnocratic party va hen the party of the people, ami tin 1 .C .1. , i ..., t , toe i,e.uociauc pai-y j he Declaration of American Inde pendence. Uased upon the holy principle of equality aud opposition -o privilege, it overcame the Federal ists and disbanded them as a party ; and afterwards it saw the disruptiot of the Whigs who advocated old Federalist ideas Since the war, it has vigorously taught all these years that the unpopular principles oi Federalist and Whig alike are em bodied in the practice of the liVpub iicau party of to-day. The masses of men believed their teaching; and. because they loved aticieut democra tic principles and felt the need of their practice, they wrought an un expected revolution and put tin Democratic party into power. The teaching of the Democratic party as to the character of the lie publican party in these latter days was undoubtedly true. Whatever the character of it may have been it other days when its devotees boasted that it was "the party of humanity,'' for years it has been the pliant tool of class- against the masses. The country, however, derives but one good from its displacement from power, it is painfully evident that the Democratic party is equally guil ty of all the crimes which it so just ly charged against the llepublicaus. Sight is a long step toward salva-ion ; and the change of administration has opened many a blind eye. In the days of Alexander Hamilton, the spirit of popular oppression was cen tred in one political party and made Jhe fight in the open. The peoplt -aw it and overcame it. To day, having learned wisdom by defeat, the same spirit shrewdly dominates both the Kepublican party and tin Democratic; and the democratic masses in e!ther party, in theii worship of a party name which may have meant something iu the pasr. have been the blind and zealous in struments of their own undoing. Of this fact, the multitudes are now grievously conscious. And new we may ask, "Will the Democratic party live forever?" Why should it live"' Twelve years ago, a prominent northwestern demo crat uttered these eloquent words : "If the Democratic party shall takt warning from the errors of the past : if it hold steadfast t0 th fith il it correctly appretieud the uses of political parties ; if it be, in fact, a party of principle, not of spoil ; if it comprehend that office is a position ! of public tr'tst not r.uc for pub lic plunder; if it prove devoted to the real welfare of the people, rather than to selfish ambitions, it will suc ceed because it will then have ap-1 oroved itself as a worthy exp.oiient of the cause ot right, the cause of free government. It will succeed if it prove itself worthy of success. If it prove recreant to the faith, it will fail an 4 should fail." Has i proved worthy of success f lias it not proved recreant -to its plighted fuith ? The pkixcIples of democracy live forever. The pakty fails. It dies transfixed by an arrow winded itli lis own pinion, because its action lies athwart the line of its teaching The iutense disgust everywhere mani fest, the discontent so widely preva Continued on second page. , A .f:olIMi (liHMJ(,V COM HK.

Lloy d, Secretary. TIIK t'KV OF DI.STKKSS. Washington Post. The people throughout the coun try are in an almost unprecedeated condition of unrest nud discontent, not only because of the long-continued hard times, but for the rea son that their representatives iD Washington are so slow and appa rently incompetent to devise meas ures of relief. Although many thousands ot honest workingmen have been out of employment fo long aud weary months, the strike and boycott, en tailing serious loss to thousauds-of other wage-earners, are after all but the natural fruit cf straine- and tm uatural conditions, They are in the nature of uprisings against the ex isting order of things. Nor is it strange that so many more thousands, good and reputable citizens, iu no wise identified with the labor organisations, and having no special sympathy with their ag gressive demonstrations, have be come, in a measure, indifferent to what is going on about them, and al most ready to welcome any outbreak that may relieve the monotony of their surroundings aud arouse orr! legislators to a more pressing and patriotic Sense of duty. We have 110 apologias to uutke for lawlessness;, and we should esteem it neglect of obligation not to curb, as far as possible, the impatience of communities bowed down with ad versity. Yet is it not tvnt- that law lessness is many times begotten of the inadequacy of the law to protect aud promote the interests of the citi zen ; aud can we wonder at t ie popu lar impatience ti which the law, ma king" power of the governmet is so supremely indiffereut ? The I'ost is no alarmist It has great faith iu the future. It would fain repose a taupa connaenoe in the capacity of the American people for self-government as it has knowl edge of the illimitable resources with which God has blessed their coyiMtry. But we $re Crnily of the opinion that unless a higher, broader, better order of statesmanship ii developed, a greater zeal for the public welfare, a inoie intelligent conception of the public needs, a bolder aa readier resolve on the part of our governing powers to afford the suffering people of the United States relief, aud those who are suffering include the great majority, the worst of the crisis through which we are passing lias vet to be eeeu.

A man who in "111! promised the people to leavo th party which is now Democratic in name only, if the promises were not kept and relief triven to the people. Though he had served, the party faithfully for thirty years, now that they had deserted the priueipis and tradition of the party, he had kept his promise and joined the People's; Party, not because he loved the Dame Democrat less, but because he loved the principles of Democracy more. TH K M'KKCli. The first part of the speech was devoted to the Declaration of Inde pendence. He said: It h?i3 been the custom of our an cestors, and we hiive rollowed that custom from the establishment of our independence, to meet together to celebrate with appropriate ora tions the emancipation of the colo nies from English tyranny and op pression aud the independence polit ically, financially, physically and commercially from all the world. This declaration of independence declared and promulgated to the civ ilized aud uncivilized nations of the earth on the 4th of July, US years ago was inspired by no motive of sordid selfishness or putrified patri otisi j. Xo! a higher, a nobler and more exalted motive inspired and moved our forefathers to action on this day. Their action sent a thrill of joy and gladness to the pure, lion et, patriotic aud upright in heart throughout the earth, while it sent a thrill of sadness and consternation to the kingr, the potentate, the ty rant, the oppressor, the wicked and the ungodly. This declaration was the boldest, most defiant and patriotic protest against injustice, greed and the un bridled and Taunting ambition of kings, lords, potentates and uimrods of the earth that had ever or will ever emanate from the heart and brain of man. It reached and stirred the heart of the honest, patri otic man whose inward longings had been for a freer, purer political at mosphere. It aroused to action the dormant power of the careless aud unthinking. It placed the herds rueD, the woodsman, the pioneer, the tiller of the soil, the merchant, the school teacher, upon the lookout. It placed uprn the watch-tower of thought the advanced thinker, the lover of f'teedom. the advocate of human rights and equality among men. It struck the death blow to the false and deceptive doctrine that the kine can do no wrong. It in spired men with the belief that they were made equal and were entit'ed to the exclusive benefit of their ef forts and their labor, aud that no king, party or government had an inalienable or indefeasible right to take from them tho result of their labor without compensation. Yes, my fellow eiti7ens, this ueela tion of independence built the battle ments and watehtowers of liberty upon the American continent and placed upon their highest towers the patriot, the soldier, the statesman. Inspired and moved by thi deelara tion of ?ihtsi we drove the British on crouching and crawling from eur blessed land back to his home of servitude and bandage across the ocean. Had our first forefathers possessed no more courage, manhood and patriotism than we seem to pos sess to-day the eagle would never have found an abiding and resting place on this coptitent, and iiberty would have died unborn, and the cradle in which it has been rocked would never have been built. Think of Patrick Henry with but a handful of men to sustain him, in the teeth of the English lion, with the most powerful a7tny and navy upor, hjs right and his left, as he de claims; -'l know not what course others may tal e. b t as for me give me liberty or give me death!" This liberty of which Henrk. spoke, our revolutionary lathers ' wrung rota the king of England and snatch ed to sound the alarm at the approach of the enemy? Who holds the citadel of power to day in Liberties kingdom to resist and ;'rive back marching legions who are invading this sacred king dom with a strong hand and with unhallowed feet?

'"To those of us who have had chit fly in mind the struggle betweei silver and geld that is the questioi which, for the moment, presses hard est. The single gold standard seems to us to be working ruin with vio lence that nothing can stand. If its intiiietice is to continue for the future at the rate of it action during tin twenty years since the gold standard took os8ession of the world, some generation not very remote will see iu the broad continent of America only a half dozen over-grown cities, keeping guard over a mass of capital, and lending it out to a population of dependent lalwrers on mortgage of their growing crops and unfinished handiwork. Such Sight have been c mimon enough in the world's his tory ; but against it we all rebel. Kich and poor alike; Republicans, Democrats, Populists: labor and capital - railways, churches, aud col leges allalike, and all in solid good faith, shrink from such a future us that." The above is very true and strong ly said, except there is one very grave error. Senator Cameron says that all parties shrink from doing the right thing to give the people fret coinage of silver. The People's par ty does not shrink. It was the onh party that had the courage and tin honesty to put a plank for the frte coinage of silver at the ratio of lb to 1 in its Xatioual platform. And if the People's party were not daily growing stronger, silver would to day be dead aud would find few if any friends among the leaders of the old parties. We now predict that both old par ties will declare for free silver in tf.eir platforms in 189o They. will do this to try to keep the rank and file from flocking to the People's par ty. It will also be clone to try tc keep the financial question from be ing an issue before the" people. But this game will not work. The best elements of the Republican and Dem ocratic parties will believe that if the the crime of 1873 and the tvime oi 1SU3 are ever wiped out that it will be by a new party the People's party. THE DRIHJIKR POLITICIAN. Many people are at a loH to know how our merchant;, who are usually such intelligent men, are so sinfully ignorant on finance. Of course reading the daily partisan ptess would darken any ordinary mind. But the merchant is above the ordi nary, and jading the daily press ilone v.annot account for his stupi dity, so we have to look elsewhere for assistant darkeners of counsel. And these we find in the gay and festive drummer. He is bright, ver satile, entertaining, and usually ig norant of everything except his busi ness and how to get on in the world. But he is such an indusriovs talker that when the rvit houses till him fall ot iaeis and figures, and mer cantile terms, he becomes a prodigy of apparent learning. He under stands the merchant thoroughly, and is the one man who can stufj him ful of misconceptions of Tinanee and gov ernmect; ,nd the drummer knows no moie about the principles of govern ment than a child. But he is as worldly wise as the serpent, and his ignorance is hid by & great cloud of "fajse facts?" &ud notations. Watch the drummer politician.

To tieciirc the ln-st r.-ult for these object, it is necessary for the b.-st means to le employed and the very best men to consolidate their voices and votes regardless of former party name and affiliation, therefore Ilesolved, That the voters of Swau iianoa township in mas meeting as sembled, do hereby ciidorw the poli cies and purposes set forth in the ad dress to the people, dated nt Aehe ville, June 4th, lS'Jl, und signed by . b. Lusk, (.;. V. Cannon, and others. Iiesolvcd, That we are everlasting ly opposed to our practical disfran chisement in the government of our home affairs and we demaud a re turn to the true Democratic opular aud only fair means of managing our own affairs this is a voice and a vote for every ollice aud public measure. Itcsolved, That regardless of pre vious partv association, we now bind ourselves together upon new issue ana we believe in a fair, epiital Ie and just division of offices with tha who rally to the BUpport of our dec larations. Unsolved, That we are unaltcrablv opposed to the present iolicy o"l (irover Cleveland, and not only those of us who are or were Democrats, surprised, but literally disappointed by the results of his administration, which, instead of bringing relief, has brought misery and distress upon the whole country. Uev. li. S. Tipton then moved that the preamble and resolutions In adopted. The motion was secouded and car ried unanimously. The meeting then adjourned. The meeting at Morgan Hill Sat urday afternoon, June 23rd, was very largely attended. It was estimated that not les3 than one hundred and tif ty voters were present, and at least one half were men who had voted for Cleveland at the last election. The meeting was called to order by J. J. Ammous, aud on motion John P. Morgan was elected Chairman and Will J. Iieachboard was elected Sec retary. A committee consisting of Ilev. John Ammous, lien liuckner and Jas. X. Morgan was appointed to draft resolutions. While the com mittee was out Hon. Jiichmond Pear son responded to calls for a speech, aud addressed the meeting at length defining his position 011 the issues of the campaign, advising a united as sault on Mr. Cleveland's policy and on the present system of county gov ernment. The committee through their Chairman, Ilev. John Ammous, re ported the following resolutions: The citizens of Ivy and Flat Creek township in mass meeting assembled at Morgan" Hill, do resolve, 1. That we endorse the policy and purposes set forth in an address to the people, signed by V. S. Lusk, Jas. T. Morgan, W. 1L West and others, and we believe it wise to make a joint effort to secure an honest elec tion law, and the repeal of the pres ent odious system of county govern ment. If such a system was ever necessary to prevent negro domina tion, that reason ha8 ceased to exist as shown by the fact that all or near ly all the counties with negro major ities give Democratic majorities at every election, ehowjcg that the ne gro vote if not cast for the Democra tic ticket is counted that way. This resolution was adopted with only on. dissenting voice, Ilesolved 2nd. That we are oppos ed to the policy of the present ad ministration, and those of us whoaie or were Democrats are not only eur prised, but bitterly disappointed bv the results of the administration, while instead of bringing relief Lss brought ruin and disaster upon th. whole land. Ilev. John Ammoua made a very earnest but conservative argument in advocacy of the resolu lions, Inter esting speeches were also made bv Tom Greenwood, Jas. X. Morgan, J J. Ammoua, Dr. I. HarrLand others. It was further resolved that the re- olntionsbe sent to the Asheville lie ister and to the Goldsboro Cauca sian with a request to publish the same. J. P. Morgak, Chairmrn, V. J.

The iH-tuocratic party i always strong in a defensive campaign. Ai.als to prejudiiv and My in pa thy rarely fail to arouse lmocratic enlhusiaHiu. More than once in North t'aroliua it ha tumol defeat and diaater into victory. No man in the State, or that the Stale hai ever produced, is comparable to him in emotional and senti mental oratory.

The present outlook is that the entire delegation with the jiible exception of Alexander, wno neem to be singled out as a victim of ma chine wrath, will be re-nominated.
