than they arefaund in secret consultation, in
social intercourse, and beneath the roofs Of
these loyal democrats, pctted, toadiei, and

rebel army. every seccssionist, is received.

Now we are not going to saw that everv
Democrat is n secessionist. Such we well
know Is not tho fact Mcclellan. Stanton,
Butler, Andy johnson, Baker Of Iowa, and
a multitude of soldiers in the Union army
are democrats. We only wish to place the
two facts, facts admitted and inquestiona.
BILE, side by side. for the. contemplation OF
loyal democrats. and we ask them in alrcan.
dor, how the two facts can be reconcied
upon any other hypothesis than the seces.

how any hyal democrat; who recognizes the
justice and necessity Of this war for the
maintenance Of the Federal authority ard
government, and'tlie claims fthe Admins
tration upon every citizen Tor sympathy and
support, can longer follow these men who
have assumed'the control and leadership OF
the Democratic. party and who have and
will dictate its policy and direct its action.
They are rotten and corru,t Subserviencv

moral natures, and engendered in them.a
