nal :" MIR. Seymour, speaking apparent
ly eA-cathcdra, intornis the people what
his faction, the sclf-stylcd Democratic
party, proposes to do. The burden of
the song is, that they propose to restore
the Consti u,ion and obey all Constitu
,iuual authority and defend the liberty
of speech, ANA he launches into homilv
abou. obscrvanccs of law, aud invokes
the names of early AMI eminent jurists,
as though it had some possible relation
to he questions, when it has no more
application than the farewell address of
John Rogers 10 his children. Laughter
This Rebellion cannot well DC sued by
SUMMONS and complaint, MOI brought to
rial before Il justice Of the peace or ref
a grand jury, nor be conquered at The
County Court, nor held 20 bail by
judge, nor tried at the circuit, nor have
an cttectual sentence or judgement af-
tivmed by TIE Supreme Court or Court
Of Appeals. No one should fail to SYM
path!ze with Il candidate, unexpectedly
aspiring 20 gubcrnatorial honors, whose
condition is 50 nccessitious tina. he cites
the words Of Lord Mansfield OH the oc-
caslon Of the Gordon or "no popcry "
RIOS nearly u cen ury since, to prove
,ha; Government, assalcd by conspi-
racy and armed rebellion, has no remedy
but what Is specified in the Cunsti u
ton written i'll statues or prescribed
by the slow and inettcctua! process of
| the COMMON law, or if ii has, should not
employ it, for it means that or it has no
meaning.
1t is easy to indulge in rhapsodics
over or to scntiinentaizc Oh the beauties
Of the common law, and such elfor.s APP
pear we'll enough i'll juviulle law schools,
Or with beginners Il. the bar bu; whcn
invoked Us Il means of conqucriny such IL
rebellion, they are as rid;culou, us would
be Il hou,lly On moonshinc to arrest an
earthquake laugh er,l an aposlrophe to
the dcws OF evening amidst hurricane

Of Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup for
the Asiatic cholera. Great laughter
The members of the narrow, trading,
trickery faction, who now stru,-thc
seli-con>tituteI heroes of the Demo-
cratic party, Il name they have learned
to mouth better than they have to prac-
ice its prllsc pleS-werc nine out of ten
against it in the days OF $ organized
ac ion, OR il with i were its mcndicants,
Office seekers and camp followers. The
true Democrat has no fear that he Shall
be forever lost, ii he acts in common
with political opponents in subduing Re-
bellion. He believes he can find himself
when the war is over. The spurious
one, naturally enough, is fearful If he
once gets mingled wi h Republicans, he
will never know hinsclf again, and hence
his ncccssi y for Keeping up party orga-
nizatlon. But even bias ard Democrats
can be preserved from final loss with Il
little care. Let them be chalkcd as
farmers chalk sheep when they put lots
together which they may wish to sepa-
rate again, marking the black with white
chalk and the white with red. Or wri
on Them as the Dutchman did on his pic
turc Of a bear, when he feared The ou;-

would be more hurful to the cause OF the
Union than the loss Of the Army Of the Potg-
