Arkansas true Democrat., 1862-02-06

in war with England. The capture of Mason and Slidell had been indorsed by the republicans everywhere Yet in face of this, in face of solemn voice In Congress indorsing Commander Wilkes, when the British lion roared, tha miserable, crouch ins, corrupt administration quailed--back- ed down.
 He was no advocate of the recognition of the Southern Confederacy, but the snr- render of Mason and Slidell was moro humiiiating than wonld be such recognition. The abolitionists are brave at 8 distance, brave about hanging honest men and mob ping printing presses; but when the British lion roared they croucned.
 What did these abolitionists recom- mend? What did Cameron's report; be- fore modified, by the President, recom- mend? The arni;ng of the slaves for the slaughter of their masterS And yet this man was retained by Lincoln in his cabinet. 0hl for one hOnr of Gen. Jackson at Washington. Tremendous applause. ] Wouldn't there De a rattling of dry bones among the pickers and stealers and plum derers of the people there ccngregated. Not one halt of the money poured into the public treasury by the people goes to defray the expenses of the war. lt is stolen by the cormorants st Washington. Would Jackson have tolerated these thieves? Would Jackson fer one hour permit & man to resnsin a menoer of his cabinet who had recommended the rising of the slaves to cut their masters throat- T.. h. a1I under the secretary ot war, had avowed like atrocious sentiments. Neither he nor any other malignant abolitionist, was re- moved by the President; and all these things proved conclusively that the ultimate | intention of the republican party was the liberation of the slaves of the South. He predicted the success of the democracy fl the right kind of platform was adoptei. He would vote for no platform indorsing this administration. He would vote for no platform which would pledge the people to an unconduional prosecution of this war. He never intended to indorse anything which came out of that mise rable Nazareth, this republican admiuistrsti on. Ton might talk to him about the honesty of Abe Lin coln--about his conversation on the slavery question. He was as corrupt as those who | surround him, and, unfortunately, the smallest toad in the puddle! He was, although at the time he might be polite, as corrupt as Simon Cameron, who ought i to have been hung when he was little l bsy They might talk about hanging him i (Davis) for expressing these sentiments, ] but let them first go and hang the editors ] of their own papers who had said the same thing.
 He would lay down his life for the re- steration Of peace and prosperity to the country. He would lay it down on this spot But he did not believe the union could be preserved by coercion-by force. ! He was for preserving the union by prop ostions of peace. He stood in this respect on Andrew Jackson's ground. But they said there was nobody to compromise South. Lincoln had said majority of the people there were union men. If the Crit. tenden compromise had been adopted there would to-day have beez no snch thing ss secession in the South. Virginia, Tennes- stay in the union, but after the rejection of the Cyittenden compromise their votes were reversed That all the border States are not loyal to- day wss owing solely to the action of the republican party,
 ! Ho Davis had been charged with being 8 member of secret socicty-of the \. I. i S, by lying republican editors There was not one word of truth in the charges brought against him in this connection.- { ri. cal association. There was no secret po- liticaI association among the democracy of Indiana. Yet this charge came from men whose garments were dripping with the corruptions Of know nottingham. Ii there were secret political organizations in Indi- ana. they existed among the abolition re- publicans themse yes.
 But these gentry raised tho cry of 10 narty! Was thee democrat in Indiana that was not union man? Not one! No partyI Do the acts of these men come up to their siren son of 10 psrtye How many democrats he&d' had been brought to the block by the administration to make way for plundoring patisans? We must have nothing but union party. they sayl Is not the democratic party & good enough union party? II this government is to be saved from irretieyable wreck the demo- cratic party mus do 1t. From the moment of the defeat of he democratic party you coud date the dwnfall of our country, it's institutions, the constitution and the union. Democrats had warned the country of the ruin which woad oyertake the land in the event ol the triumph of s sectional party. All of their predictions were now being fal- filled.
 The policy oithe administration, it's ul- timate object wss 10 liberate the slaves Gen Halleck il Missouri. makes procla- nation prohibiting fugitive slaves from en- tering his lines. Immediately Lovejoy, the intimate friend 9f the president, and the
 prince of sbolitonists in Congress sets on
 foot movement to remove him-Lovejoy
 who ran tweny-nine miles from Bulls
 Run without stopping to catch his breath.
 General Mcclellan, toe, because he is an old
 fashioned dem,crat. union man, he was
 10 be superseded. And who do you think is
 to be his successor? Nathaniel r. Banks,
 who said not nore than three years ago,
 'let the union ide." If the administra-
 ton should deearo against the emancipa-
 ton of the neiro, every republican press
 from Chicogo ts Boston would denounce 1t.
