It has no alliances with powei ful corpora14' interests; licit Iter is it in league with demagogues , who disturb society and agitate for the mere sake of limitation. It does not regard the possession of wealth as a erline nor even a Imdge of honor, nor does it consider poverty as either n disgrace or a virtue. It makes no war upon classes, I mi t opposes corrupt and vicious sys tenia and methods wherever they are to lie found. It has no use for the passing 'isnn' of the hour, ft proposes as its general policy to adhere to the fundamental principles upon which the party was founded by the great Jefferson himself. In that path there is safety, honor, success." ? - -4* Needles Pulled from tier Itody. A dispatch from St. (iennain.
