ADDRESS OF DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS TO THE DEMOCRACY
OF THE UNITED STATES. s'f3

Felzow Cttiyens The perilous con-
dition of our country demands that we
should reason together. Party organiza-
ton, restricted within proper limits, is q
positive good, and indeed essential to the
preservation of public liberty. Without
ittthe best government would soon degen-
crate into the worst Of tyrannies. In
despotism the chief use OF power is in
crushing out party opposition. In our
own country the experience Of the 4ast
twelve months proves, more than any les
son in history, the necessity Of party organ
ization. The present administration was
chosen BY party, and in all civil acts
and appointments has recognized, and still
does, its fealty and obligations to that party.
There must and will be an opposition. *
The public safety and good demand il. II
Shallit be a new organization or on old one!
The democratic party was founded more
then sixty years ago. y has never been
disbanded. To-day itnumbers one million

States still loyal TO the Union. Its recent
numerous victories III municipal elections
in The Western and Middle States prove
its vitality. Within the last ten mouths

Heavy firing has been heard at New Mad

the report is current that the rebel gun
boat ran the blockade and managed to get
down the river. The mortars are firing
rapidly to-day, concentrated upon the Island
batteries. A deserter, who has come within
our lines, says that 60 men in tho upper
battery have been killed by our shot and
shell, and between 25 and 80 on the Island.
Spies are plenty among u.s. who come over
from the Island and visit the cabins in the
woods, by means of dug-outs and canoes.

The river still continues to rise, and the

of them being mistaken for Yankee intern
