ment be forgotten. Here they are, as
laid down by their great champion Hen

public officers perfect freedom of thought
and right of suffrage, but with suitable
restraints against interference in cleo
tons:


An amendment Of the Constitution,
limiting the incumbent Of the Presiden
tial Office TO single term.
These are the cardinal doctrines Of
our party, and with them inscribed up
on our banner, we confidently appeal TO
the judgment of an enlightened and pa
trictic people.


Contrast them one BY one cith the doc.
trines of our opponents


/. In lieu ofa sound "National cur
rency, regulated by the will and author
ity of the Nation" one portion of mo-
dern democracy proposes State Banks.
and another Sub Treasury and hard
money.


g In lieu of san adequate revenue,
with fair protection to American Indus
try;' one portion Of modern democracy
proposes direct tareS and another a jH-
dicious tariff with not more protection to
American industry thar. TO foreign pau
per labor.


s. In lieu of ''just restraints on the
Executive power, embracing further
restriction on the exercise Of the Veto:'

the inheritance bequeathed to them, but
that the money arising from the public
lands shall be absorbed in the reckless
and prohiga'e expenditures of the Fede-
raj Government. They declare thatthe
States shall not have these means ofpay-

duty of the paid officers of the Federal
Government to instruct the people how
TO vote, and to use the patronage Of the
government, in perpetuating the power
of those at whose hands they hold Of

6. In lieu Of San amendment of the

the Presidential office to-a single term,
modern democracy insists that the Pres

he shall be permitted TO servetwoterms,
whereby, as experience has proved, the
worst abuses OF power, and the most
corrupt intrigues, will ever be practised
in the first in order TO the attainment Of
the second term Nash. Banner.
