Who has always stood up for American commerce and the fisheries in the past, when they had the power? The Democracy. Now let us, as Democrats of the Jeffersonian school, come forward and stand together, and restore these great industries to the country. Don't be lulled into inaction ; but when Congress meets see that it speaks as the legislative bodies used to speak in 1775 and 1776. We have already seen that the Washing- ton Treaty is like all other British treaties, they got the better of us.... The object of the Democratic party is now to build up from the ruins of the Republican party, and place it where it stood in the days of Jefferson and Jackson, "as the best and only security for free government. " It is estimated that the fisheries of New England employ thirty-seven thou- sand men, and that the population of the United States sup- ported by the fisheries exceeds half a million. The entire population supported by the fisheries consume $30, 000, 000 of our agricultural products, and the New England fisheries pay in local taxes about $3, 000, 000 on the capital employed in them ; and yet our opponents undertake to deceive us by the cry that this is a " dead issue, " and that the Democratic County Committee might as well have passed resolutions against the "alien and sedition laws, " as to attempt to stand by the fishermen in their labors to restore their rights.
