Excerpt from The United States Magazine and Democratic Review, Vol. 3: Containing the Political and Literary Portions of the Numbers Published in September, October, November, and December, 1838 As a body it may be said to have been disorganized, - dcmoralized to speak in military phrase. Rarely have the leaders of a great party, in the constant struggles of parties in free states, been thrown suddenly into a more critical and arduous position. But they proved not unequal to the occasion, not untrue to their cause. Tnn message or tee extra session saved the cause, and saved the country. They planted themselves on a rock of impregnable prin cipic, and unfurling a flag that streamed like a meteor to the troubled air, sounded a most gallant rallying note, over the whole length and breadth of the land, to invite their party to gather around that rock of rege, and recombine their broken organization under the shadow of that flag. A year has not yet elapsed, and the course of events is already rapidly justifying the bold wisdom of the high position then assumed. The process of reorganization has been steadily going forward, in spite of the herculean exertions of open foes from without, and false friends within, to impede and dis tract it; and though not yet entirely consummated, has reached a stage that is quite satisfactory to us, as placing its ultimate complete success beyond fear of danger. The democracy has recovered from its paralysis of panic, and is beginning to put forth again the ener gies of its renewed youth. In no former contest has it ever evinced a finer and nobler spirit. This is signally shewn in the primary assemblies of the people, which have of late appeared every where animated by the most generous zeal and the highest confidence, that zeal and confidence which, springing alone from a deep sense of the righteousness of the democratic side of the great issue now joined, are both the strongest incentives to exertion, and the surest harbingers of success.
