No Surrender of the Democratic Orr
| gaRtXRtiOn.
The Republicans were cunning, when
at tbr beginning n the Iy9r, they started
the cry-Iet there be no party. Jt GER
tainly looked very noble and magnani-
nous in them, thus to be willing to Sacri-
flee everything of party remInscencc aud
party association upon the altar of coun-
try; thus to break down party platforms,
and wipe out PARTY lines for the sake OF
uniting together III the face of Il common
danger; and to fnr>ake all~party alltgi-
anccS, aud to lor>akc all party principles,
! aud even 10 oblltrrate all parties them
selves, ior the oue, single, glorious sake OF
being, or appearing To be, patriotic. But
that piece oi cunning did not work the
artiul dodge was soon seen through -
Whilst they were clamoring the loudrSt
against maintaining old party organiza-
tion>, they were more active than ever in
! deepening the foundations, and in build
! ing up the s,uucturc of their own party.

should be no party when the a.luieie,ra
| tion of their own election and con>truc-
ton was calling for volunteer soldiers to
aid III CRUSHING rebellion; perfectly
williag were they that men who belonged
not to their party should, throwing off
their own party uniform, fight their bat
ties. Bat when it came to filling places
vi trust and power, positions Of honor and
| influence, and officers having salaries,
they were wholly unwilling to ignore par.
ty, and t. share equally with old political
OPPONENTS. The fact is, their sole object
was to crush and Kill the Democratic par,
/ ty, to ct it entirely and forever out OF
the way so that they might make their
own purity tie unopposcd and the control
ling party Of the land. We tell them t.
their face, that hie one branch of thcil
party hoped and sought, by means of the
war, 10 overthrow and crumble into the
/ dust the southern institution of slavery,
! the other branch hoped and sought, by
| the same means, to overthrow and crum.
/ Die into dust the Democratic 0rganiza
| ton.
True, few individual Democrats have
been no>c-lcd, wirc-pulled, and trmptrG
by nominations to Office, and promises OF
reward, into tor>aking their old faith and
the old party. They have joined will
the Republicans i'll swelling the cry Of ne
party untl the war is over. But their
voices are without influence no followers
tread in their tracks; they went from Us
/ singy, one hy one; their names have
, been struck from the Democratic roll
they are being taught, sadly and bitterly
to themselves, that no man, however lofty
his position or great his influence, is tho
Democratic party.
But the great body Of the Democracy
the peoplt in mass, have not been deceived
and drawn oil by the cunning device o
the Republicans. AS they cast about
and see that there is still a country to h,
cared for; still a Constitution to he up
! held a> the supreme law Of the land still
in beng principles that. when they are
active, made us great nation. and tha
! will, when again they are put i'll action
make Us yet greater; the people, seeing
these things, and being in heart deter
mined to care for the country, and to up
/ hold the Constitution, and to put in ac
ton the great principles of human equal
ity and >ci-Eovernment, are not to be per
Suaded in day and all at once to consent
to the dishandmcut of the Democratic or.
/ ganization. 1t was the great wisdom, and
the great courage, and the great enter.
prise Of the Democratic party, which par.
! ty has controlled the Government Of the
nation almost uuintcrruptcdlv from the
beginning, that advanced the nation to it,
/ present pr pud position of emincn'c. The
people are seeing aud feeling that agair
must he lifted into asccndcncy the same
Democratic wisdom, courage and enter
| prise, if it is desirable that the future U
the nation should eclipse the past. The
people are looking beyond the present
war. They can discern that the sam,
great Democratic doctrines, and principles
and practices, which have 50 prevailed ir
the land, must again be prevalent after
! the war is over, il the land is again to gc
forward in wealth and prosperity, and in
development and intelligence Hence the
argument in favor of maintaining til,
Democratic organization; for by and in
and with the organization are preserved
| for future bringing out aud use, the old
and tried doctrines, principles and prac'
ticcS of the Democracy. Therefore, when
men ask us to surrender our organization
let us answer plainly, boldly and squareIy
no, never. as long as the country exists
! for without Il Democratic party to coun-
Sci, and govern, and guide, the country
would not he worth LIVING in, much less
vrnturing for and preserving. --Pr0tideMct
