The Democratic Press ON Black Republican
Ism.


The State Journal says the history Of the
fanatical party named in the above heading is
being rapidly written, and the word .J5nis is
already within the turn of few leaves The
bomb-shell thrown into their ranks by the
Dred Scott decision--the fairness manifested
in every movement of the Administration by
its representatives, Walker and Stanton--the
gross and culpabable mismanagement and leg
isation of every Black Republican rule, and
the extravagant and prohigate course Of all
they have raised to place-all this taken to-
gether, compels the people to refuse longer to
extend any approval, and the cause is rapidly
and inevitably sinking to destruction. With
out, however, attempting to trace out minutely
the causes which are inducing the failure, we
copy from the South Side Democrat the fol-
lowing list of evils which have attended its
progress, and perhaps in the catalogue may be
found enough to lead all to say that the plague
spot should be removed, and its corruption
buried from the sight of the people,
The most remarkable of the suspensions of
this year of failures is that of Abolitionism.-
Without sympathy as without hope, it has
gone down amid the curses Of people whom
it has alternately bullied and betrayed. The
Cincinnati Enquirer truly observes, that fraud
and deception were the Accomplishments of its
very infancy. There never was, and II is safe
to say there never will be, but one House Of
Representatives elected by it. It's is the only
Congress, since the existence of the Govern
ment, that members were expelled from for
corruption, and where it was clearly proved
that there was an organization for the purpose
of taking and receiving bribes. Never before,
but in that Black Republican House, were
nine weeks spent in the election of officers,
and the whole Government, as it were, sus-
pended for that length of time at a dead lock,
in anarchy and confusion. In New York, it
has bankruptcied the treasury, suspended the
public works, and increased the public debt
and the taxes of the people. The Legislature
was notoriously and shamelessly corrupt. In
Wisconsin it has plundered the School Fund,
sacredly set apart for educational purposes
In Ohio its Lieutenant Governor was the dis
burser of corruption fund to purchase presses
for tho cause Of Fremont, and about the same
time the Ohio State Treasury was found to be
minus half million dollars, that was counted
and known to be in the Treasury few months
previous. The Attorney General procured
funds from the State Treasury to go into the
banking business at Cleveland, and never re-
turned the money to the Treasury. 1t in
creased the expenditures in every branch of
the State government In Pennsylvania it
elected Senator in Congress, Simeon Came
ron, by vile bribery and corruption, against an
ascertaned majority of the people and of the
Legislature. In Massachusetts,, Hiss and Kali
loch, stained with immortality and guilt, have
been its patron saints and its representative
men. So We might go through the whole
category of Abolition States, and uniformly
find the same result Is it not about time that
party, founded on error, and whose course
has been marked by prohigacy and corruption
in all the States where it has had ascendency,
was repudiated by all intelligent and rejecting
peopleP
