e The fifth resolution expresses the heartfelt
thanks Of the Democracy to our gallant men Of
the army who havc 20 nobly went to the field TO
try and remedy the great wrong done our Gov
ernment and Constitution by "fanatical sgisa-
tor, NJ orth and South" and for which the old
National Union Democracy "are in no way
responsible 30 ,a-13 lI ea1l.'a 90
The Democracy never deserted their gallsn
men in the field, and never will, and when they
leave home, kindred and friends. they well
know, from the past, that the Democracy will
stand by them, and nevertell their enemies ITO
welcome them with bloody hands to hospitable
gAves." 4. .ts.. 3. Id
The Democracy expect slander and abuse
from abolitonists, that is their vocation, but
when We. see men, protesting to be Democrats
and friends Of the Union and the Constiiuton,
deserving the old patriotic organization OF the
country, seeking new alliances, and charging
their former friends with disloyalty, we cannot
resist the conclusion that their professions have
been but a "mAsksd battery" for the destruction
Of that Iparty which in it's whole history, has
never proved unpatriotic, or averse to the vel
fare Of the nation, and the happiness and pros
perity Of the people. '4h ~ ssa tn'n' b.
