"Thc heart of the Democracy never
was in this war. Gin Enquirer.
Every dollar hereafter spent for
the prosecution of this infamous war
is uselessly wasted-aud every life
lost in it is an ahominable sacrifice, n
responsibility of which
rests upon Abraham Lincoln and his
advisers. The man who does not
wash his hands of all participation in
such war, shares the guilt of those
by whom it is prosecuted. Support
of this war and hostility to it show
the dividing line between the friends
and enemies of the Government. He
who supports the war is against the
Union. -C'awford CoLhiy Forum.
There is not Democrat in the
land but will oppose this war with all
his influence. Gin. Enquirer.
