Of the Legislature elect D. y. Wade United

party does not depend upon soldiers who
fight for pay, and il it does not suit Gray to
be bound BY the action of its majorities. he

he can make more elsewhere. II an bonest
political idea should strike his head It would

Danger OF Demsgogues.

The Abolitionists, Judging the De
mpcracy of the country by themselves,
feared that We would not rush with be-
coming alacrity to the defense of our
governments, when the rebellion broke
out, because of an administration be-
ing in power whose political sentiments
the Democracy opposed. Abolitionism
being incapable of rising above faction,
naturally placed this degrading esti-
mate upon the patriotism of the party,
towhose power, wisdom and prowess
the couatry was indebted for her stu
pcnlous and magnificent greatness
They consequently resorted to deceit,
the weapon of the demagogue. When
they beheld the spirit of the intrepid
masses responding to the call of the
President for seventy-fve thousand to
defend the Capitol from rebel invasion
-resem5ling the impetuous legions of
swarming Asia-they cried out, emo
party now, one people, one country and
one Constitution.
In order to assure us of their SINGER
ity in their applause of Democratic f.
deity to the country, when they assem-
bled in Congress, in July last, they,
with but two dissenting voices, passed
the following as the intention of the
government in prosecuting the wal
against the rebels:
THAT this war is not wased on their part
in any spirit ofoppression, or for any purpose
ofconquest or subjugat'on or purpose Of over
throwing or interfering with the rights or es-
tablished institutions Of those States, but
to defer and maintain the supremacy OF The
Constitution and to preserve the Union, with
its dignity, equality and rights OF the severa
States unimpaired, and that as soon as these
objects are accomplished the war ought to
cease"
Upon this avowal we all shook hands,
pledging our faith to one another tc
stand by the Union and Constitution,
until both were rescued from the dan
gers which threatened them. Have
the Abolitionists kept faith with the
nation as pledged in this declaration!
Nothing like it. No sooner were ou1
armies filed with willing patriots, than
they began to scheme and plot for par
tizan advantages. The eloven foot ol
general emancipation and conGscatior
soon began to exhibit itself, and every
man who did not applaud its appear
ance, was put down as sympathizel
with rebellion. From the day that thi
agitation began until the present hour
the Abolitionists of the United States
have been engaged in vile intrigues t.
either cripple the government, or bent
it to their Infamous purposes of part.
expediency. The man who now ha
the courage to contend for the obsel
vance of the course best calculated t
keep us still united in our efforts t
prostrate treason, is sure to encounte
the sneers of these dyspeptic creature
who will at once commence to sniff
about the hardships of slavery.

A SECOND WAR OF INDE.
PENDENCE.

Do We fully comprehend the nature
Of the great struggle in which we are
engaged, and the consequences Of fail
ure or success? We fear not. 1t is
more than a question of national unity
and the integrity of our territory. 1t
is more than contest for political
power between rival sections. 1t is
in substance second war for national
independence, and in all its essential
qualities il is the war Of the revolu-
ton repeated. No man who compre-
hends its scope and significance can
for n moment entertain the senseless
cayil that we are not fighting for an
idea. Our volunteer armies, meeting
a desperate enemy with such unpar-
alleled gallanlry and persistence, are
inspired by the nobesi ideas and aims
that ever gave vigor TO freeman's
arm.
Consider for a moment what we are
fighting for. In the first place we
fight for the democratic doc,rine--the
very cornerstone Of our Institutions
that the majority shall rule. The re-
bellion Is the work of defeated po'iti-
cal leaders, who would not submit to
the will Of the people, ,constitionally ex-
pressed at the ballot-box. The pre-.
tense that slavery in the states was
threatened by the election Of Abra-
ham Lincoln was wholly false. JEFF
Davis and the entire gang Of conspir-
ators knew that the rights Of the states
would be az secure under republi.
can as under a dmocra,ic administra-
ton the geaeral government They
aroused tie fears and the animosiiies
OF tie South on that subject only by
the most wholesale falsehoods, and
The rebellion in its origin and preten-
ded objects Is only great organized
lie. The plain truth is tha;i, is re.
bellion against the popular viii, against
the right Of constitutional majority
to rale,and thus an attempt TO subveri
our democratic institutions. The cry
Of the leading consPiraiors for southern
independence is false and deceptive, as
tie people Of the South have already
found They have already lost their
