Can any one doubt it after reading the
following proceedings, which took place at
the Republican headquarters in New York,
on the night Of the election
's Mr. Spencer said that the returns from Mas
sachusetts indicated that one sentinel upon the
Eate eh-toWer Of liberty viii be left at his post
Charles Summer. LUproarious applause.
" The assembly then sang John Brotgn' song lUith
greatzsst."
It is taken from the Tribune, and is
copied into the Commercial with great
Eest. A party that viii sing the song Of
the old murderer, traitor and cut-throat,
John Brown, is nothing but an Abolition
party Of the most revolving character
Cincinnati Enquirer.
An Abolition party. is it2 Well, let us
see what sort of a party the Enquirer's is.
It is the Southern Ohio organ of that party
which has the traitor vallandigham for its
leader and which sympathises with and
gives sid and comfort to
JEFF Davis, the chief of the rebels and
Democratic Secretary of War under
Pierce;
To that great Democratic thief, John B.
Floyd, Buchanan's Secretary of War;
To another thief, Jacob Thompson, Dem
ocraic Secretary of the Interior under
Buchanan, and of late General in the
rebel army;
10 Howell Cobb, Democratic Secretary
Of the Treasury under Buchanan, and now
3 General in the rebel army;
To John C. Breckinridge, former Dem
cratic Vice President of the United States,
more lstterly Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, and now prominent Gen
eral in the rebel army;
To Herschel " Johnson, late Demo-
cratic candidate for the Vice-Presidency,
and now an unhung traitor;
To Messrs. Mason and Slidell, late United
States Senators, and now rebel Ambassa-
dOrs to Europe;
To George N. Saunders, a Democratic
politician, and now just returned from a
tour to Europe as rebel agent in persuad-
ing foreign governments to join in the re-
bel cause of destroying eur country;
To Louis T. WigfaI, late Democratic
Harlequin in the United States Senate,
and now drunken officer in the rebel
army;
To Henry A. Wise, late Democratic Gov
ernor of Virginia, who hung John Brown
for doing what he (Wise) threatened to do
(seiEe Harper's Ferry in 1856 if Fremont
was elected President;
To G. P. T. Beauregard, the Democratic
General who fired the first gun of the re-
bellion in his attack upen Fort Sumter;
To Fernando Wood, the swindler, and
leader ofthe Democracy of New York, who
proposed when the rebellion broke out,
that New York city should secede and set
itself up in independence against the Gen
eral Government;
To the Democratic traitors throughout |
the South who are engaged in imprisoning
and numbering honest men. whose only
crime is that of preferring the good old
Union handed down by Washington to the
pie-bald and piratical despotism set up in
Richmond;
To the guerrilIas (all of whom swear
allegiance to the Democratic faith who are
engaged in the business of wholesale mur-
der, rapine and robbery throughout the
South;
To all the States now in rebellion, which
never gave other than Democratic major
tiles
To all negro drivers, breeders and trad
ers, who do not, hesitate to deal in their
own flesh and blood;
And finally, to the European despots who
are anxious to have our,-country divided,
that aformidable military and naval rival
may be weakened.
All Of these traitors, murderers, thieves
and ravishers of Union women, except the
last, were of the Democratic party and of
the Vallandigham portion of that party.
For these, whoare ten thousand times more
guilty than was ever Old John Brown, the
Enquirer has no denunciatory word, but,
on the contrary, expends its wrath upon
the Abolitionists, and its excuses upon the
rebels Further comment is unnecessary.
