loyal States. failing to- prevent the
Government from taking up arms to pu'
down their rcbcllious allies in the South
failing to impress the people with their
other scheme Of rebel relief, viz : the
recogni ion Of The Southern Confedcracy
now takes to itself the name of the
Democratic Party, and is trying to make
a middle of negro emancipation, aboli.
tonism, glorious democracy and the
rescue of he Government with which to
befog The popular mind, and get new
leave of that power which it has hitherto
used only to bctray and ruin the
country.
The Rebel Editor of The Cecil Dem
ocrnt is particularly busy in this matter,
and may be considered a fair type Of the
class. A year ago denying the right
of the Government to take up arms in
its own defense, six months of er tonne
down to whine for I" PEACE" now
saving the country by what he calls the
Democratic Party. The same falsehoods
and incendiary appeals to the passions
of the people,; which were used to
" fire the Southern heart and precipitate
the Cotton States into revolution" arc
now used 20 arouse sec ional jealousy
and anger, and array brother against
brother. Ever since the Republican
party was started Fanderford and
fellows like him have taught that its
sole mission was the destruction OF
the insti u,ion Of slavery. 1t was
charged with MEETING and armiug
John Brown, poisoning wells in Texas
and nearly all other Southern States,
urging Slaves to instruction, and that
when it got power it would use it for
no ether purpose but freeing the slaves
and making thcm'equal wi Ii the whites.
They knew these things were all false
That John Brown was a crazy fool, who
without suggestion, except from his own
deranged mind, without money, orany-
hing else, except few clumsy pixies,
conceived the idea of a provisional
government-which Jeff Davis af err
wards adop'ed-and with twenty fools
and knavcs like himself, captured a
sleeping Waterman on the IIarpcr's
Ferry Bridge, and with the aid of d
bawling COW scared the cowardly Virgin
ians into fits. No: we'll was ever
poisoned and not negro Instruction
melted. The first thing the Republican
Party did af,cr clecting President,
when they had complete control of Con-
gress by virtue Of the secession of the
Southern Senators and Representatives
was to adopt as an amendment to the
Constitution clause guaranteeing sla-
very forever. And SO unblusLing is the
baseness of these agitators, that the
very men who melted the people of the
South to insHrec ien about what the
would do, are now melting
England to interfere in the rebellion
about what they did do. They confess
their falsehood, glory in their shame,
and without blush declare that Mr..
Lincoln and his party arc the slave
party of America. They know, and
this fellow Vanderford knows, that every
incendiary appeal, which is made now,
is as untrue as were those made years
ago, the falsehood of which they now
boast whenever it suits their purpose
They sought then to so infamc the pas
ssons Of the people of the Sou that they
could retain power by the ballot as long
as the ballot was possible and after
wards by the bullet. They seek again
to arouse fierce passion, again to array
section against section, and regain power
by the same means by which they then
sought to retain it.
Not the least of the villainous decep-
tions which these traitors practice, is to
call their rebel faction the Democratic
Party, while almost every prominent
Democrat is squarely against them, and
they are running around to the back
doors of every Convention in the country
to form collisions. Not long since
Tammany Hall and Mr.. Brady wanted
to take the iniatiary steps to make Mr..
Lincoln the National Democratic candi-
date IN 1864. In Rhode Island about
which 80 much fuss is made in this
quarter by VanderforG and fellows of
his kidney-;he Constitutional Union
Convention have nominated Governor
Sprague, who never was a Dcmocrat,
who was before the Republican State
Convention in 1860 and was afterwards
nominated by boilers from that Conven-
ton, WHO carried the State and then
went to work and carried it for Mr..
Lincoln, who was among tho irst men in
the field and who was denounced by the
