The Constitution Against the Empire.
The purpose of our leading editorial of last week was to define the position we maintain in adopting the above phrase as the permanent heading of our editorial columns. We expect to keep it there till the approaching presidential contest is decided. After that the threatened revolution will either have been accomplished or averted. When the democratic convention shall have accomplished its purpose in the nomination of a democratic statesman to carry the banner of the constitution, his name will be associated with the above motto. On this issue we propose to conquer or to fall.
