ADDRESS
RI the Loyal Dsmorasy Of Wisconsin to the
People Of the State.


ing frol, all common devotion for the pre-
seTvation OF liberty, and the vindication Of
the national authority, assailed By civil war
that has no parallel in history. Under the
most momentous circumstances that have
ever betelien any people, II Is Just and pro-
per that loyal assemblage should establish
II their own Yindication and for al future
time, the deliberate convictions OF their po-
HticaI faith. AID az the same time recognize,
as the highest and most sacred duty winch
can rest upon the patriotic citizet', that OF
unfiinchirglv supporting the Federal HoTern-
nent in its perilouS struggle Iof eAlStence.-
This axnress;oD Is also sdIutaFy as well as ne
cessarv The powerful political organization
wi,h which ge have acted, has been betrayed
into a po.ition destructive of its usefulness
disbonnr,pIe 70 its patriotism, and entirely
inconsistent with its history and achieve
ments We are, therefore, compelled to be
upeouivocally explicit in pointing out these
infractions upon the faith aud honor of our
marty and would also prove that d loyal
" exists amongst Democrats as sincere and
iInyeriShable as was ever felt b. any people
toward any Institutions that sway by bene
tice1t laws. We cannot be blind to the fact
that self-conStituted eSpoanders have war
ranted public opinion in attrIbutIng to the
= Democratic party want OF zeal and devotion
IN crisis when the government can only be
preserved By force OF arms, nor can we OBJ
serve, without anxiety, nIe construction
which ! reasoning world places upon the res
OiutIOns and popular haFaugues which assume
10 utter its sentiments and embUdy Its spirit.
1t Is beyond denial that the burden and sub
stance during the last twelve months OF all
these addresses, resolutions and pseudo
platforms are fraught with disaffection 70 the
national authorities, and the most terrible
predictions of their evil designs. Ihsg NO
