courage them In the coming contest. The
skies in every quarter are growing bright
or aud brighter. The great questions OF
human freedom. Of free labor and. free
homes, are beginning TO be understood
The sober second thought Of The people Is
returning. and the absolute necessity OF
change in tho affairs 81 the General Gov
ernmsnt. Is becoming daily apparent. The
Democratic party, whose very corruptions
have destroyed IL. ~ struggling in the very |
throes Of final dissolution. Everywhere
its different factions are warning with each |
olhsr--fghlng as heroically as could be
wished. What now is Democracy. IL is |
difficult TO determine. That which is
called Democracy in the South is denoun.
ced by Democrats in the North. aud that
which is advocated by Democrats in the
North is characterized as Abolitionism by
Southern Democrats. With this party,
which was once led TO victory by Gen.
Jackson there IL now ne National princi-
pie left, but universal scramble for the
spoils.
There are no disunionists anywhere, ex-
cept in the Democratic party. A disunion-
, list in any other party. would be sirangled
as quick as fish on.dry land. A dis
uniopist could not live an hour in the Re-
! publican party. The air which Republl-
cans breathe would not initiate traitors
lungs. Treason TO the Constitution and
the will Of the majority, is peculiarly Of
Democratic growth Democrats have
avowed reasonable sentiments in public
lsces. and been applauded by Democrats
They have said. il n majority of the peo-
, pie determine who shall be their President
they will dissolve this Union. Wherever
the party is in the ascendant it has de
bauched public morals. retarded the pub.
lie prosperity and robbed the public treas
! ury.
, Under all those circumstances the peo-
:, pie have determined on a change, and the
|, good old times of 1910, when the power Of
q the public will was more signally felt il
n this country than ever heretofore. are about
q returning. Maine is alive to the great in
g terests at stake. The Empire aud The
Key Stone States are aroused to active ex-
h ertion, and the fires ara blazing all over tb,
d Great West, throwing a continued bright
i halo of light upon the benighted minds o

i. With the Republicans. there is no diff

the sigus of the times-if the political
