What think you of that, gentlemen? What
becomes of your assertions that the democratic
meetings at the north that pass anti-slavery
resolutions are bogus, counterfeit. You tell us
how to judge of your party, now let me tell
you how to judge of our party.
When YOU find that the National Era, and
the New York Tribune, papers black with alb
clifton and dsunion sentiments are side by
side with the Washington Union, Louisiana
Courierand Fcliciana Democrat, in denouncing
our organization, pause and reflect Is there
not something singular in this alliance? Are
you not to say theleast, in very bad company?
Then judge of us by the very strong war the
abolition press at the North is making against
U.S.
Judge of us by by the opposition to us Of
Seward, Chase, Sumner, and every other Sen
ator who voted against the Clayton amendment.
Query. Why was Douglas found voting with
this clan?
Judge of us by the nomination Of Trimble,
in Ohio, and the speeches made in the conven-
ton at the time.
Judge of us by the State ticket nominated
in New York Sound conservative men to the
Z core.
Judge of us by the 18th article of the plat
form of the American party in convention al
Philadelphia, which Judge Perkins approved
in our Courthouse, and which the Hon. A. H
{ Chappell, democratic representative in Con
: eress from Georgia, has said, sis as good ana
? as sound as the South needs, OR As soUrHER,
n DEMOCRATS, IN TIE CONVENTION TO BE HE'LL
=, NEXT YEAR, WILL DEMAND, AND INSIST UPON"
When you DO all this-when you begin tt
judge fairly, candidly, and impartially-whel
= you take the golden rule as your motto, ant
act up to its principles. we shall think-yes
S we shall think the millennium is at hand!
