II is certainly matter Of great im2or.
tance TO the country that the Den ocrstic
party organization bo preserved. With:
ont il, how could the massive wheels Of
this great Government be turned? How
could the war for the suppression Of
rebellion be prosecuteI! What hope
would be lett for the restoration Of the
Union2 wt.. t.4a ,. ..a u
Now this Government was made for
the white man. This Is the first, last and
intermediate principle Of the Coasti'u
tiou. "A Niger has no rights under
this Government, not even the right 10
live;" SO says "Pindcr" in his admirable
work on the Contribution and Cove rnmept

to arms IN their defense, why 1t Is plain
that the "DisuGlon. Black Republican,
Abolition, Negro Equality fanatics, OF the
North" who were fighting tosusiain lheir
hellish principles, alias the principles Of
the Chicago Platform" who were strug.

elevate them to social and political
equality with the white men of the cOun'

constitutional. nsfarious, diabolical and
sataLic schemes.
Is there any man so blind as not to
have discovered that the whole stock in
trade Ofthis sectional. negro loving. ab.
oliliOn party Of the North" is a"war a.
gainst slavery against the Union and a.
gainsl the Constitution. Did not the Chi.
clgo platform say so? And did not".old

meant to "staud by its principles?"
What Is palmer then than that the so cal
