| SEYMOUR Governor? just the reasoning
everywhere resorted to by secesh dema-
gogues-''. chat if the Democrats can only
hold the reins of government, they will
| bring this war TO an end" And how will
they do it by "Compromise,' exclaim
a compromise, pray tell Us ? and here
the wisest among the Democratic sachcnls
are compelled to stop for the want Of
something to say. To talk seriously
about settlement Of the issues involved
in this wal by compromise, is rank trea-
son, and the man who proposes 1t loves
better than he does his country. Every
man possessed Of common sense knows
that the government has but one altcraa-
tive left-it must either conquer or be
conquered
There is one of the most wa.hty reas-
ons in the world why the Republican
party should be kept in power, to wit !: the
whole tribe of traitors aud secesh sympa-
thizers are IN the ranks Of the Democratic
party, and Democratic triumph is every
where in rebeldom hailed as victory for
JEFF DAVIS. The recent elections In
Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and New
York are claimed in all the rebel papers
as secession victories.
The President has "inausurated new
policy cry out the hundred and one
Democratic organs, and has cleft the old
landmarks" What new policy, pray? The
emancipation proclamation that is the
ghost which now so terribly frightcns the
Democracy. What has been the policy Of
the Democratic party since the commence
ment Of the present war? We answer it
has been to save slavery first, and then
save the Union if you can. What has
this policy done, and what has it accom-
plished? What has it accomplished in
Virginia, and on the Potomac? Nothing
but succession of defeats and drawn
battles How much nearer is the rebell-
ion crushed out in Virginia than it was
year ago? And yet great hue and cry
is raised the moment a new, more vigorous
and energetic policy is suggested. What
do the ult-fnding Democrats want2 Do
they want to hold on to policy that will
prolong this war for years and years to
come? If they suppose this policy is to
overthrow Mr.. LINCoLN'S administration.
and bring them again into power: do they
count the success of the Democratic
party Of more consequence than the sub
jugation of the rebels Is party with
them above country? These are questions
which suggest themselves in reviewing
the course of the self-styled Democracy
upon the war, and they almost as naturally
furnish their own answers. But these
demagogue politicians tell Us the Presi
dents emancipation proclamation has
"dividcd the North" How? We answer
how: SO long as the earnest, progressive
patriots Of the country allowed the Dem
ocrats to dictate the whole movements of
the war, and conduct it under the ban of
a pro-slavery policy, just SO long they
would stand by their country, but after
their policy had failed, and the President
in obedience to the wishes Of large ma
iority Of the loyal people, struck blow
at the corner stone Of the rebellion, then
they would turn traitors and play into the
hands Of JEFF DAVIS and the rebels
Disguise it as you will, that is the whole
truth OF it. Many of those who oppose
the Presidents emancipation proclamation
are set Of paid patriots, who are ready
to pitch into the Administration the mo-
ment it departs one hairs breadth from
the policy they dictate. They know their
management Of the war has already
brought odium upon the dministration.
They know continuation of the same
policy will in the end defeat the party in
power, and this is, above all other consid-
crations, what they desire. The reason
of a ..diyided North" is found in the dis
loyalty Of the Democratic party. They
would rather ''reign in perdition than
serve in Heaven" Rue or ruin, is their
motto and this is the reason why we now
find divided North.
