Queries for Loyal Democrat IS.

If the Emancipation proclamation will
have tendency to excite instruction
among the slaves, and rebels, instead of
laying down their arms and saving their
property, prefer to continue the rugglc,
will they not be compelled to keep at
home respectable military force, which
would otherwise assist in the slaughter
of our fathers, brothers and sons ! Will
the Democrats oppose any proclamation
that lessons the numbers Of foes against
which our brave boys will have to con-
| tend
The Democratic party profess to be in
favor of the war, but opposed 20 the
administration. Since the Adininstra-
tion has leen IN power its whole time
has been occupied with war measures
There is no question Of civil adminstra-
tion involved. If the Administration is
opposed, must it not be in its war meas
ures. AS it is impossible to point to any
act, however impolite it may be deemed,
which has not had the effect of cripping
the rebels if carried out, the Democra ic
party must be opposed to anything that
will injurc the rebels and assist the loyal
soldiers.
If il is improper for the opposition to
dsnouncc all opposed to the Administra-
tion as "trai;ors," {" by what right does
the Democratic press denounce all who
do not vote the Democratic ticket as
Aboli,lonis; or Black Republicans
Democratic papers are endeavoring to
convey the impression that the Emanci-
patton proclamation will send at least
one million negroes into Pennsylvania,
and that those negroes will enter into
competition with the whites Sensible
people know this to be false. But how
can the Democra reconcile this doctrine
with that held only two years ago
They then insisted that tie slave-owner
should take his negroes Into the terri Or
les, and when Republicans objected, and
demanded tho territories for the whites,
without compelling them to compete with
negroes, the Democrats could not see i. !.
Who will take courage if The Demo-
cratic ticket is elected, the rebels in the
South, or the loyal men of the North
Can any man be found to-day denoun-
cling the President for his emancipation
proclamation, who did not denouncc, wi h
equal warmth, the proclamation calling
out $4,000 soldiers -!
If the Democratic party is in favor Of
vigorous prosecution of the war, why
not show it in some other way than by
resolutions 2 Why did not the Conven-
! tion re-nomina such Of the Democrats
as established i'll Congress their loyalty
by supporting the Administration in every
war measure Was it not because these
Democrats did advocate vigorous pros
ecuton of the war, by uotes instead of
resolutions, that they were left off the
ticket.
If the Democratic party desire the
Union as it was" why not urge
upon their I" Sou hern brethren" to
accept the terms of the Emancipation
Proclamation and lay down their arms
and thus retain their slaves, and end the
war Is it possible that when the oppor-
trinity is presented for securing the
" Union as it was" Democrats are afraid
that it will be embraced by the traitors,
and that Ny. Lincoln, who is not a
Democrat, will get the credit of restor-
ing the Union.
