The eepperiiead Democracy.

The Hon. D. s. Dickinson at a Union
meeting in Brooklyn, the other night,
walked into the modern, bogus, g but
ternut" Democracy in the following
graphic style:
1t is complained that we accuse our
opponents of being dsloyal. They say
they are the Democratic parry! ! deny
that they are the Democra lie, or any
fraction of he Democratic party. I fol-
low principles, not men; events, anl
not names. Names prove nothing
The httle boy as soon as he can run
alone wants horse ; and he ges astrile
Of stick, and whips it up, and calls it
horse. But it is not horse, after
all. The little girl has doll, and calls
it a baby. Well, it isn't a baby In
the city, they have one dressed in style
in high finish in the coun ry, they are
made of rude cotton, aud features pu
on with iul; or charcoal. They are call
ed babies, but they are not babies
They call this the Democratic party:
but it is not the Democra ic party. 1t
answers as .nerc hobby for the Ii tie
politicians to ride and call it a Demo-
cratic par Y. 1t answers for those who
are more juvenile just to daudle upon
their knee, and call it Democratic
par y. But i is mott is not anything.
The masses of the people arc the Demo
cratic Republican party. And the
masses occupy to-day the position Of the
old Democra ic party Of Andrew Jack
son. And these men knotted together
for base purposes, insist are the Dem
ocratic party in no sense wha ever. 1t
is,a feeble, diluted, weak, dwarfed imita-
ton of the Federalism of 1872, with all
its mischief, and none Of its respccta-
blity-politcallyj l mean. We have
been cursed North and Sou h with poll
tics. This rebellion is an Office holders
and Office seekers rebellion In the
loval States, when this rebellion was
inaugurated, poll les were driven out ;
but these persons found a tenement
empty, swept and garnishcd, and they
took seven other spirits more wicked
than themselves and entered into it and
dwelt there. And the last state of these
people shall be worse than the first
The Rebellion has three elements upon
which it relies: One is foreign inter
vcntion and Ihcir own mill airy prowcss
one is yellow fever at the South, and the
other is this spurious Democratic party
at the North. These are the elements
upon which they rely, and they are
being ac ed together to-day. This pre-
teEded Democratic party acting in con-
cert with the worst elements of the
malignant monalchies of the earth, rail-
ing and grinning CHASTITY aud horrible
smile, like Milton's devil, over their
success and prosperity in this country.
A Democracy is rising up to aid foreign
Intervention, and shake bands wi h the
yellow fever, to help put down loyal
people and loyal States in their efforts to
crush out this internal Rebellion. A
mere Infamous and atrocious rebellion
never existed since Satan made war in
heaven. 1t must be met with all the
material of war it is crime against
God and man, and he is more honest
man in the sight of God who murders
and robs than he who aids this a rocous
Rebellion, and who murders States, peo
pies, postcrtes as we'll as men. |
arragn at the bar of the world that man
who dares to palter with this thing in a
double sense. Here is great conflict,
two great interests at war, both cannot
he right can any one doubt which is
wrong Til, thing is no more Demo
