portant document to be withheld from the
public, Tor it discloses more fully than any
other heretofore published, the spirit of the
recent orders OF General Burnside and Gen.
Hascall
As far as these military gentlemen have
the power, Democratic party must cease TO
exist, as an organization. It has dared 70
rroclaim that 1t had no confidence in the
bility OF Mr.. Lincoln and his advisers 10 con
duct the war TO successful and honorable e
termination. The object OF the administra-
tion, il these Generals are its exponents,
seems to be prevent all discussion on the part
OF the Democrats OF ts war policy, or any
dissent from whatever measures it may adopt
concerning the rebellion. Democrats must
speak approvingIy Of the administration, or
not speak at all. No graver or more fatal
error has been committed by it, and none
more clearly exhibiting its unfitness to be
the government than its attempt to put
down the rebellion by denuDciation and un
Just persecution of the Democrats in the
North. II the Administration was not blind
to its own success, it would see that Demo
Gratis in the North can have no possible mo-
tive to be unfaishful to the u aion and the
Constitution or to favor Southern Confed.
eracy. And yet, acting upon the assumption
that Democrats are disloyal, malignant par
ssnship is driving the admins ration to the
exercise OF authority which can give it no
strength-which is poisoning the fountains
OF peace and unity at home breaking up so
cial, friendly and business relations, and in
ssgstns the people OF the North to become
spies upon and enemies to each other. All
tue unjust imputations and direct changes OF
4sloyalty upon the Dcnocra ic party, are
burning deeper into the hearts Of Democats,
and des pite the order OF Gen. B. and Gen
Hascsll, they will think--and speak and
acs. By the firesides-.in the workshops
sn the iarms-by the waysides--whereyel
Democrats may be, the policy and acts Of
the administration will be discussed, and 40
proved or condem ned as they shall be right
or wrong. All the people ask Of the admin
istration is that it shall do what is right
and they must be the judges--for ifthe peo
PIE do not know what is right who shall
teach them? Certainly no military court
martial can do it. Those who know them
best know they are neither led nor encour
aged to hostility to the administration by
the leaders Of the party. They are far in
advance Of the leaders, and have resorces Of
information independent OF them, and re-
quire to be restrained, rather than led Good
men and wise men OF the Democratic party
are daily counseling p,ace and obedience TO
The laws and to the constituted authorities OF
the government, and yet these men are trai
tors and 'secessOnists.' Eie who bawls war
upon the house tops, but skulks at it sp-
preach, is loyal while be, who laboring
faithfully at his avoeations, quietly gives aid
and encouragement to his government and
good cheer to his dsspondug neghbor, is
called 'secessionist.'
1t Is an error in Gen. Burns ides and Gen.
Hascall to suppose the arrest ofa few or all |
OF tho present leaders OF the Democratic par
iy, will secure TO the admins ration and i'm
luunity from condemnation if it deserves it. |
The people want the rebellion put down -
They want their country and their friends |
restored 10 them. They beiive the admin |
istras:on has had the power to do it, but fail |
ed because IL neither comprehended the mag |
ptude Of the rebellion not the issues invol- |
we'd in the efforts to suppress it. When it !
ceases making war upon the people Of the
North, and with energy and ability makes
war upon the yebels, it may regain our lost
confidence. But it cannot be done by perse-
cutlon.
The decree is entered up in the hearts OF
the people, and neither speeches, resolutions
orders nor arrests can change it, that to put
down the rebellion and restore the Union,
/. ar fnust be made on the rebels in arms and
not upen the Democratic party.
