The Strange Logic Of Var Democrats.

The Strange Logic Of Var Democrats.
The logic of War Democrats is utterly
past oar comprehension. These impracii-
cables have al least given an ilIustral of
ihe truth ofthe old Italian proverb, "Chi
prsstica con lnpi imPara aFlar;" "Who
keeps company with wolf will learn to
howl Their continued association and
affllaton with The Abolition wolves, have
taught them their peculiar howl with aven-
geance. They hug the delusiou that they
can declare in favor of a continuance of the
war, aud yet defeat the party whose only
policy rests upon its continuance. and who,
oui of that continuance, are developing dali
~ the sinews with which 10 strengthen
their hands, and the military force that is
10 concentrate their power. TIE Pagan
world miehtss well have attempted TO over
throw Christianity, by being in favor of sta
ted preachinss of the gospel and frequent
!. comm anioIl, as for these War Democrats 10
expect the overthrow of Abolilionism by
shs very means which AboIitionism use 10
strengthen aud enlarge its power. The fell
agencies OF war have generated all the out-
RACES with which the North has been ac-
csrsed. Nay, it has enabled their wretched
FerpetraioIs 10 pass indemnify bills, and to
ovsrawe the judiciary, so that everywhere
shisre are grievous wrongs without remedy.
And yet these War Democrats in asking for
vigorous prosecution Of this wreched war,
ans simply asking the enlargement of that

fearful mischief There is, there can be no
place OF safety for the Democracy, except
upon platform that advocates an immedi-
-aie cessasion of this cruel strife, so that the
voice of reason may be heard, ard The ce-
lirGm of passion have time 10 cool. In the
midst of such calm. we may learn what
the demands of those in arms against US
are, and invite their cooperation in the
name of g. common Christianity, in the
name of common humanity TO some plan
of reconciliation or reconstruction, by which
the sections may unite upon more stable
basis-a plan in which the questions upon
which we have differed so long may be har-
snoBiousiy adjusted /; and each section, by
virtue OF the greatness developed in the
war, may profisoy the experience. There
is something tangible, something practical
IN such a platform as this. It has an object
and an aim, and the means suggested are
e:racily the means BY which the object and
the aim ran be accomplished. Reunion,

ZIONIST orthe War Democrat, is simply
