And, permit ine to sy, that the principles of Jacksonian Demovracy, in this re- spect, ate as fmportant to<lay as thoy ever wero at any period of our history. 8. The Jacksonlun Demiocracy wera the de- termined focs of monopoly, They could not bo otlicrwises for the very foundavion of tho party was tne aoetrine of equal rights, By whatever names they may have beon ealled, there have been, and perhaps ever will be, bul two great parties in Amerlea,—the Demouratle party, ask- e nothing but ennal rights, and an onposing purty whose leaders have ever sought, and ever will seek, soceclal privileges created by law, Who can forgel tho wreat buttle fought by the Demueraey, under tho tead of Jackson, agalust the Bnul‘; of lhz:IUnILu«I Bm{.u, nlml who eA'x'u I;lll oq, thay & dopberate strugele sgainst a far ";&fxcq'nzwfi-ml cumbination of caplital and_ priv- Ilege than was presented by that tatitutlon is now impending! Will the Demuocracy of to-day follow tho examplo sct by thelr fathers, of ine flexible opposition to speclul privilege, or will they prove recreant to the prinelples, the history, and the traditions of their party! ‘This wa question that must ere long bo suswered, My own belief §s that it will be answered o8 wucht ta be, and that the Democrats of to-duy will prove themselves to be, what thelr fathers were, true e, 'y will be earnest, but not rashj deterinined, bt uot unreusonable; de- steuctive of wrongs and abuacs, and conserva. tivo ot all that sbould cxlst in o free Republic.
