The Republican editors, unable to defend
the Abolition actions of their leaders in
Congress- indeed, driven 10 the wall at all
points-seek 10 shit the responsibility for
the present Stale of things, with lis vast ex-
pense of blood and treasure, from their
own 10 the shoulders of The Democratic
party. But no sensible man can be cheat
ed by any scch transparent dodge. Look
at few Items 10 The record
The Democratic party was unanimously
in favor OF settling our national difficulties
upon that fair and honorable plan, the Crit
Ienden Compromise. The leaders of the
Republican party opposed This and having
majority in Congress, DgyeArED IT Why :?
Because such a settlement would have

This was in the beginning Of The troubles
What followed? Corruption of the most
stuPendons character. The Fremonts, the
Cumnngses, the Morgans, and hosts of
other Republican clans, put their arms,
shoulder deep, into the public treasury, and
millions corrnplly disappeared
I'm the first year of a Republican Ad-

professions of reform and relrenchmenl

land that somebody has pundered the pub
