CATION on PEACE DEMOCRACY

Judge John ID. Cation, one Of the most emi.
neut Democrats of Illinois, who WINS especially
honored by the confidence and profound regard
of Senator Douglas, has written letter to
the Hon. John T. Stuart, N. c. elect from
that State, in mild but earnest discussion from
the di.loyalty enacted by the Copperhead lead
ers in the late Legislature Of that State.
Judge Cation says
firmly believe that e the purpose Of the radical Ab9
iionis who have the esr OF the Predepi though D

The Judge is not good authority for the
views and acts of the Republicans, bis lifelong
adyersaries: but be is clear and right as to the
responsibility which the Democratic party neces-
sarily incurs by pursuing the course chnlked
out for it by T. II. Seymour, Z. Chauncey
Burr, William b. Reed. and the rest OF the
Comprehend leaders. If the Democratic party
now oppose the War, they force the Admins
tration to make Peace; and q peace forced
upon us by Democratic detection must OF course
he based on Disunion, for which the Demo-
cratic party thus makes itself fully responsible.
We tried to show this in recent letter to
Senator Doolittle; we are glad to see that
Judge Cations view on this point IS in thor
ough accord With ours.
The Judge proceeds to assail the Repub-
Leans and adnonish the Democrats az follows:

with the East expelled FROM it, and "she Con
stitut.on as it is" with any amount Of new
Pro-Sayery sections thrust into it that the
l:ebei chiefs may SEQ ut TO require. That
Union with the East is a detrimcnt, is as car
dinal a doctrine OF the Western COppcrhead as
of the Southern traitor, as the speeches Of Cox,
Voorhees, & Co, bear witness. A region that
produces schoolmasters for export must always
be hated by the parasites oi an organized,
gigantic iniquity which makes it a felony to
teach children TO read.
