time past to cover up the Nervousness of
Its own enormities by DANGEROUSLY I'M
putting to the Democratic party the guilt
Of the numerous scenes of radicalism
and violence 50 frequently presented up
on the political stage. The resolution Of
the Democracy against every policy Of
expediency; its bold and prompt resist
ance Of all partial ana special legislation;
its persevering efforts to put down the
designs Of sectional and selfish politi-
clans, serve but to inname the ire of
these unscropulous perverters of truth,
and render them holder in the utterance
Of falsehood
Our whole State is now ringing with
this war-shout Of the opposition The
Democracy are the "unwashed Democra-
Cyl" "the rag, tag, and bob-tail !" "the
canaille;; !" and yet, strange to say, they
are also the enemies Of labor, the de-
stroyers Of industry, and the advocates
Of foreign interests! But when, at any
period in our history, has the Democracy
been more emphatically one of the great
institutions Of the country than during
the trying crisis through which it is now
successfully and triumphantly bearing
US? Whenever has the public peace
been more eaoredly respected or reli-
giously observed by the Democracy,
while that peace has been disturbed by
the enemies Of sound measures and Just
principles2 For all this, however, the
opposition are no less the most couscien-

the most r3Stless radicalists
Since party after party has gone down
before the Democracy, leaving all the
isms congregated under the banners Of
religious and political fanaticism; since
all the violent outbreaks upon the peace
Of society. from the breaking Of the BAL
lot boxes at Cincinnati to the late dis
graceful riot at Washington, which ju-
dicial investigation has traced to this cor
rupt fanaticism; It is proper to ask, who
are now the conservators Of the public
order?

consideration lately given by the Grand

disturbances there; notwithstanding tic
irresistible array Of testimony which re-
