He then proceeded to show what the democratic party was in its origin and what it is . He referred to the usual and common stock in trade of radical stump speakers, the Declaration of Independence, te ordinance of 1787, Jefferson's and Washington’s views on slavery, to a resolution of a meet im Georgia in 1775, to statements of Gonvernecur Morris in the Constitutional Convention ot 1787, from all of which he concluded that the fathers of the republic meant man—citizen and voter to be one ithd the same thing, It is manhood whieh gives the i to vote, uot race or the length of the nose. insisted, ple, in the mterest % provine same’ spirit, he governed the party under Jeferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson.
