Fanaticism unthinking, blind fanaticism
has commenced and bids fair to complete the
destruction of the most perfect government on
earth. The troubles that are upon us are wholly
owing tot he persistent efforts of the abolition
lists for the last thirty years That fanatical par
ty has succeeded in sowing the seeds Of discord
between the North and South, and raising a crop,
the effects of'whch are already disunion and civ
il war"
We clip the above from the Milwaukee Ns,os;
not because It is anything uncommon or out of
the course Of Democratic misrepresentation, but
rather because it is in perfect keeping withthe
great mass Of modern Democratic political wri-
Gngs for the last ten years. We take it from
the Nel5S because that is th9 leading Democrat
ic paper in the State. It is published at the
commercial metropolis of the State. and is there
fore looked upon as the leading organ of Wis
sheets loo, 20 for their cue in their abored lead
ers. lis editorials have the character Of Official
documents upon all more partIzan points, and
five take an extract therafrom it is supposed
to be free from all faint ofpolitcal heresy
By a constant teaching OF lessons like the
above, for years, the South has been led and
urged into treason, instruction, and disunion,
and thus it is that the destruction of "the most
perfect government on earth" bids fair to be
completed and not by Fanatcism. The South
| frightened and distracted by these constant
croakings of thor northern allies, have shut
their eyes to the truth and gone it blind. All
northern papers from which they could gain g
true knowledge ofnorthern sentiment have been
Sc dulously prohibited, while such Democratic
sheets as the Meas have been allowed free Cir
culation. Northern politicians have found It &c
their partizan interests to continue this system
attic misrepresentation. They know, and have
known that in the dominant party at the North
| there is no fanatcism. The great mass of the
| Northern people who now constitute the Re
publican party and who form a large majorit
Of the people Of every Free State, are as free
from Fanatics IN as any people on earth. This
Northern Democratic editors and politicians
Eno,o, and Southern people might know if they
would exercise common sense and reason il

Of ills country is so generally well informed, s

we believe it capable Of demonstration that Their

To talk about the Republican Party "sowin
the seeds of discord between the North an
South" is to talk most unwaranted (alsehood
The Republican,. Party in State Conventions, il
National Conventions and in State Legislation
have constantly declared by Resolutions an
platforms, that they contemplated no interior
encc with the institutions Of the Southern State
and that they deprecated and dscountenance
everything Of the kind. Republican editor
have written and rewritten, and Republica
spealzcrs.have spoken md repeated the sam
assurances time and again. but it has not com

permit any such idea to prevail at the South.
Democracy has succeeded in its tireless labo
in not only sowing the seeds of dissension be
tween the North and the South, but has give
the plant Of diounion hot house growth by til
forcing process. For the time being secession
is triumphant, and the cotton States are effectu
ally out, and still the Democracy keeps up it
howl, and jus tihes every fresh act Of treason
the South. Should the rupture prove lasting
and the slave States finally become separat

pose to do about it VIII they continue to be
