Ihat fountain must be dried up.
IN tins great work we cordially invite the
Co operation of all men of every party who
are opposed to the fell spirit Of Abolition
and who, in sincerity, desire the Constitution
as 1t is and the Union as it was. Let the dead
past bury Its dead. Rally, lovers of the Tn
ION, the Constitution, and of Liberty, to the
standard of the Democratic party, already in
the held and confident of victory That par
ty is the natural and persistent enem V of Alb
olition'
Look at this attentively. What is the
first duty of the people !? 10 put down the
rebellion, and restore the supremacy of the
Federal laws in the revolted States. That
is what we had thought. That is what the
loyal men Of Tennessee, and Kentucky. and
Missouri, and Virginia, and Maryland say
johnson, and Campbell, and Prentice,
and John NJ. Bolts, and Gamble and 9th
ers. Not one acord does this address sdv
Of putting darn and crushing out the
SOUTHERN CONSPIRACY. 1t utters no re.
buke against the rebels. 1t depreciates
neither bridge burning, nor wirecutting,
nor guerrilla marauding, nor destroying rail.
roads, cars, nor any confederate outrages
1t Is dumb as the grave on the horrors
now sweeping over devoted East Tennes-
see, the home Of martyrs and patriots. 1t
condemns not the barbarity of the rebel
Government towards our gallant prisoners.
1t has no condemnation of the infamous
conscrlptlon act, nor withering invective
to pour out like molten lava on the heads
of the rebels, who are burning the cotton

ment, and keep step to the sublime music
OF the Union under the flag Of the Repub-
llc. 1t does not even hintwhat every intel
hgent man knows to be the fact, that the
prime and moving cause, the fountain head
and source Of this rebellion is determin-
alton on the part of Southern office hold
ers and corrupt aristocrats to destroy free
government and build up monarchy or
aristocracy on the ruins of Democratic in
stitutons
The man who is ignorant of this is igno-

and newspapers Of the Cotton States for
the last twenty years. lie is ignorant Of
the celebrated speech of Hon H. w Spratt
one OF the leading men of South Carolina,
who declared that SLAVERY CANNOT

victory to escape Democracy at the North,

In these declarations of the leaders of the
rebellion which we are obliged to cut short
for want of space-fOr they could be extern
6ed indefnitely-we find the true cause of
this hellish rebellion, 1t was enmity to
free Government 1t was a determination
on the part of an aristocratc clique not to
submit to the people, and be controlled by
an Ignorant majority as we heard John
G.. Breckinrid ge say, at Hopkinsvile,
Kentucky, in the summer of 1861. Asa
further proof Of this, the Democratic party
was hopelessly split at Baltimore year be-
fore Lincoln came into power, and split by
the very men who issue this address. 1t
is also to be remarked that on the advent
of Mr.. Lincoln to the Presidency, the
House of Representatives, Senate and Su-
preme Court were in the hands of the Dem
ocratic party. Why, then, did the cotton
wing fly off and set up new Confederacy?
! The Northern Douglas Democracy would
not be controlled by the insolent Buchan
an Democracy, and so q disruption took
place. But this address of the inglorious
thirteen goes on to glorify the Buchanan-
Cotton Democracy in this grandilcquent
manner:
1t is the only party capable of carrying on a
war; it is the only party which has ever con-
Quoted war to a successful issue, and the
only party which has done it without abuse
of power, without moestation to the rights of
any class of citizens, and with due regard to
economy. All this it has done all this, if
need be, it is able to do again. fits success,
then. in a military point of view be required,
the Democratic party alone can command it,
1t then proceeds to say that its restora-
tion (that is, of themselves and company,)
to powers is demanded by the following
consideration
Economy and honesty in the public ex-
penditures, now at the rate of four millions
of dollars day demand it
Such economy for instance as that of
Buchanan's Secretary of War, John B.
Floyd, that paragon of virtue, and such
honesty as that of Isham G. Harris.
The rapid accumulation of an enormous
andr ornament public debt demand it-a pub
lie debt already one thousand million of dol
lars, and equal at the present rate, in three
