Charge it upon them, Democrats.
Do not let our adversaries drive us into a
defensive attitude. We have the right with as.
and we have the memories Of the Pas, 10 cheer
US, aud the Hope of the Future to spur us on
in the good work. We should attack tie enc
my in his strongholds We should track him
10 his midnight lair. We should strip the
robes Of false purity from his recrennt limbs,
Charge upon them, Democrats, Thar they
have started candidates for President and Vice
President who are to be elected, if at all, by a
sectional vote, and for whom no Southern man
can vote without personal dishonor aud politi-
cal suicide.
Charge upon them, that they violate daily
and deliberately, the solemn warning of Wash
ington, who, in his Farewell Address, aamon-
ished his countrymen to beware of sectional
and geographical parties.
Charge upon them, that the leaders of the
Fremont party are in nearly every instance the
avowed advocates of dissolution of the Ameri-
can Union.
Charge upon them, that they assail and ira
duce our tellow-countrymen of the South more
than they could assail and traduce the vilest
despotsm on the globe.
Charge upon them, that they selected Fre-
mont as candidate, first because he would
prove to be their passive instrument in the
work Of disunion, and next because he was
supposed to have grown enormously rich by
his speculations.
Charge upon them, that they are presenting
to the Northern States, as an inducement to
secure votes for Fremont, by speeches and
editorials, in mnps and in pictures, the adcda.
tdyes hadt arould result from the dissolution Of
tile Union TO Northern prosperity, aud com fort.
and yciigioR-
Charge upon them, that their open cham
pionship Of disunion doctrines, directly follows
from the infamous example of the Hartford
Convention in lSl4-'l5, and like that dark
plot, is most earnestly sustained by Great
Britain.
Charge upon them, that the British press
halls the Fremont nomination, and the agita-
tion that led to it, as the certain steps to y
dissolution of the Union.
Charge upon them, that not satisfied with tie
overthrow of our civil rights and liberties, they
have prepared mankind for that dread catas-
trophe by sowing the seeds Of discord in the
Christian Church.
Charge upon them that they expect - carry
this election with money. Thev nomi,ntrra
Fremont for his wealth. Sewald saws thrre Is
the Constitution, in his speech at Albany, on
the 18th of October; and Francis p Blair
says, the Missouri Compromise will be restor-
ed if Fremont is elected, by buying up the
Senators of the United States with the patron
age ofthe General Government.
Charge upon them, that this Union cannot
stand if the North, as they propose, shall ex-
ercise the government to oppress and outrage
the South.
Charge upon them, that they have invoked
force TO their aid in the event of failing to elect
Fremont bya sectional vote. See Webb's
speech at The Black Republican Convention;
Gidding's threats in Congress; the in6del
columns of the Boston Liberator; and the ser
mon of Rev. III. Ward Beecner
Charge upon them, that their love for the
black is SO intense, that while they degrade
and disfranchise white man because he was
born, like Lafayette, in a foreign land, they
would elevate Fred. Douglas and his school to
social and political equality with our fellow
conntrymen, becanse they are negroes
Charge upon them, that until they invoked
the twin fends Of Know-nothingism and Aboli-
ton, Christian Churches were peaceful aud
pious Assem- blages, but now too many are torn
with dissensions and presided over by political
priests.
Charge upon them, that while blaming Mr..
Brooks for his attack upon Sumner they never
blame Fremont for bis attack upon Foote. in
both cases the offence given having been dur.
ing debate in the Senate.
Charge upon them, that while bowling over
the disturbances in Kansas, they never con
denim the murders in our great cities, by Know
nothing rowdies, of inoffensive and deserving
adopted citizens.
Charge upon them, that they have reved
the Missouri Compromisefor nearly forty vears,
and now demand that it shall be restored after
il has been repealed.
Charge upon them, that they have selected
a candidate for President who has neither the
character, the capacity, the experience. nor
the integrity, TO preside over the affairs Of the
Government.
Charge upon them, that in their war npon
the Southern States, they refuse to hesitate,
because their schemes must end in u civil and
servile war, and laugh at the certain catastro-
phe Of three millions Of suddenly liberated
slaves being poured down upon the North.
Charge upon them, that they denounce and
contemn the decisions of the highest tribunal
in the land, and openly traduce the venerable
jursts who compose our United States Supreme
Court.
Charge upon them, that while they ask the
votes of the adopted citizen, they prepare the
statute that is to deprive him Of his rights
that while they say they are not against the
Catholics their own candidate swears he is not
Catholic, as if to be so were crime; and
that one of the Conventions which nominated
Fremont affected to repudiate Know.nothing-
ism, while the other, which nominated him,
made Know-nothingism its chief cornerstone.
