1he Democrdtlc party, as It was IN lafter
days, had no distinctive characteristic psiss-

slavery. Does the proposed ressor.eao0 OF

The broadly apparent truth is, that those
who are laboring tor that which they arc
pleased to call the restoration Of the Demo-
cratic party to power, mean opposition 70 the
war for the restoration OF the Union. They
propose to charge the responsibility Of the
war upon Northern agitators," and doing
so to make wing oftheir party of the orig
inal secesh element in the South. They
can do this in no other way than BY recogni-
zing the right OF secession and denying the
right Of the Government to coerce a refrac-
tory State. This would be, il the restora-
ton of their party to power follows, to place
those now in arms against the Government
in possession of it. IL this the entertain
ment to which the people are invited, who
are now giving their blood and treasure for
the vindication Of law and the firm establish
ment Of our nationality? 800 4 49,. =
