Well: the Wings succeeded in the great con
test; the People confded to them the power; and
now, according to any legitimate and just acccp
tation Of the term Democracy one would have
supposed that the defeated party would have been
ready to say and would have said: &c Well, Sirs,
the People have taken from US the sway and giv
EN- it to you they have indicated their desir,
that your recipes FOR the public disorders shall be
tried, your plans carried out. Go forward, now,
ard put your measures in operation We have
no faith in them; cannot aid them; but
will interpose no obstacles to their fair and full
trial. On your heads rests the responsibility


Such was the course taken by the Federalists on
the accession of Jefferson; by the Adams men on
the accession of Jackson. There was system
attic effort made by either to rally and eotrencl
their forces, keep up their organization, and t"
obstruct the course or defeat the measures of ei
Their succeeding Administration. But how was j
with the Loco-Focos of 1870! Did they stand
back and allow US to test the soundness of our the
cries by reducing them to practice Did they say
Well, Sirs, call your Extra Session pass you

sist, to decry, and to obstruct. They clamored for
better times before we had obtained particle

effort TO produces better times They not only
required us to make brick without straw bu;
without even clay. Such was the conduct of our
opponents on the accession CT the Wings topower
