Who have just been driving hundreds

ing?
Rebel democrats, who could not endure
the delight Of women and children at the
approach of the glorious old "Stars and

Where has rebellion looked for sympa-
thy from first to last
To the democratic party.
Why?
Because the rebels were all democrats,
and had been promised aid if they attempt
ed to overthrow an administration elected
By the free labor of the North.
Are all democrats traitors
No. Very few good democrats are
really in favor of rebellion, but a very
large portion of the party used democracy
to cloak their hideous political detormity,
and for years ruled the party. And the
wicked spirits sent out by these men yet
infest many who should have the nerve
to drive them out, for they teach love OF
slavery and hatred of free labor, and lead
their victims almost un nconsciously to sym
pathize with rebels, and oppose the patri-
otic endeavors of the Administration to
subdue our enemies.
Are there any Republican rebels?
| never heard of one.
Do republicans uphold the Union and
the constitution, and strive to put down
treason ard rebellion
To man. They ask that the best gov
ernment on earth be spared to them, and
that the free white labor at the North be
respected.
What party is justly responsible for al
the debts and taxes entailed on us by this
rebellion
That question is easily answered The
Breckenridge party is alone responsible.
Does the Republican party oppose high
taxes
Yes
