Why Should Dem Ocrnts Desire a Dis
tinct Political Organization in OPpO-
siIiOn TO Union RepubIicanse


siIiOn 10 Union RepubIicanse
1t is well worthy the consideration of all
loyal men, why democtats should desire, at
this crisis of our public affairs, distinct poit-
ical organization That it arises from loyal
regard to the government, and wish for the
speedy crushing out of the rebellion, it would
be difficult to make appear. Are not all Re-
pubicans loyal to the Union? Is there man
in the Republicans ranks, in any of the North
ern States, or in any border State, who seeks
the overthrow of the Government, and desires
the success of the rebel cause? Il there a Res
prosecution eff the war, and speedy suppress
ion of the rebellion? Hence no Republicans
exhibited their oarnestness in putting down the
reasonable uprising of the South, by promptly
responding to the call of their country in the
matter of volunteering, and by liberal contrib
utions of the sinews of wars Do democrats
wish the Government to adopt more radical
measures, to carry on the war to a successful
termination If so, where is the evidence of
it?
On the other hand, it is because democrats
have a better reputation for loyalty than Res
pubcans, that it is deemed essential to have q
distinct democratic organization, for the restor-
alton of the Union? No one should complain
at the statements Of mere matters of history
1t will not be denied, that large majority of
thosa now engaged in the attempt to over
throw the Union, have heretofore been known
as democrats. They comprise the great bulk
in the armies of the so called Southern Con-
federacy. They are rebels from choice. But
it may safely be said, there is not single Re-
publican in the rebel army, unless be has been
pressed into the service against his choice
| Why, then, are democrats, or at least por-
ton of them, so anxious to get up separate
for the purpose of securing greater loyalty and
fidelity to the Union, for such pretence
would be simply ridiculous. 1t cannot be be-
cause democrats fight the rebels more sue
cessfully, for large proportion of our present
army officers were taken from the democratic
ranks. 1t cannot be because democrats desire
more vigorous war policy, for the present
Secretary of War came from the democratic
family. Is not the inference, then, fairly
drawn from the facts in the case, that those
democrats who are moving for distinct party
organization, have no very loyal objects in
view. 1t cannot be for an earnest endeavor to
defeat the purpose of the rebellious States, for
if that were the object, sound policy as well as
common honesty, would lead them to unto
with Republ leans to serve the Union,
1t is proper to say, that among democrats
who deserve separate organization from Un>
ion Republicans there are two prominent
classes. One class proposes to speak out bold.

tom to insist that the South is not SO much to

encamped at FaYette, consisting the 3Eth and
37th Ohio regiments, numbering about 1900
men, under command of Col Jiber, when a
desperate fight took place, continuing till dark.
Our forces cut their way through, reaching

Unquestionably the boasting of the
rebels in Baltimore and oftheir coadju-
tors in the North, that Lees army in
Maryland is 10000 $4,000, or even
100000 strong, is nothing but the old
ohaptei in Mexican tactics, by which
our generals and our peopl have been
SO many times deceived. When the
truth is known, it will be found that
5000 men are the utmost that the
rebels have had north and east of the
Potomac; and that even these are suf.

muniments which our armies are &C

We publish the Proclamation of President
Lincoln, declaring the slaves of all States then

day of January next. In this we think we see
the beginning OF the end of this unprovoked
and most wicked rebellion. Although we have
been Of those who have thought this proclama-
ton should have been issued months ago, we
are fully satisfied with it, now. The forbear-
ance of the President has dsarmed the most
conservative, who are not in actual sympathy
with the rebels, of all grounds of complaint or
fault>fnding. Shareholders have been from
time to time warned, that persistence in their
rebellion, would result in this proclamation OF
Emancipation. They have, therefore, no rea-
son to complain of measure that they have
chosen for themselves. Such pro~slavery pa
pers as the Chicago Times have set up the
howl of Abolition, a little louder and little
stronger, but the great mass of the people will
say amen to this most, moderate and timely
proclamation.

DEMOCRATIC L1BERALITY.--Allt the Demo-
cratic papers in this State have been battling
against the most just, patriotic and liberal meas
ure, of allowing the soldiers the privilege of
voting The Milwaukee Ne,os led off in OPP
position and Immediately, most of the lesser
lights of Democracy took up the cry against
this most righteous measure. They affect to
see great danger to the constitution in allow
ing our volunteers to exercise their right of
suffrage. These same Democratic editors
and orators can see no danger to the constitu-
ton in the rebellion of the Slave States-none
in secession or treason-but when the question
comes to allowing our volunteers-our citizen
soldiers, who have sacrificed all the COM
forts and joys of home, and peaceful oc>
equations for the battle field and camp in de-
fence of the constitutional vote for State of
fcers and members of Congress, they affect to
see great danger to the constitution. This is
the same old humbug cry. Every measure
that does not directly or indirectly tend to the
advantage of the Democratic Party, is cried
out against as unconstitutional.
every step that has been taken to put
it down, has been characterized as Uncons
titutional by the present editor of the Mil
waukee Neuos. He declared it was unconRtitu.

tiles. And now comes the most terrible of al
constitutiOnalities- allowing volunteers the
privilege of voting. The Ne,os facetiously
speaks of 1.-The bill transferring Wisconsin cleo
ton Districts to southern States" But how
ever the Ne,os and it's Democratic allies ridi
cue or oppose this eminently proper measure
they will only expose their own illiberality ,ant
opposition to the rights Of the people, without
defeating the bill.
