not changed single iota of their policy
The Constitution is their guide To il they
will cling, in tims to. come, as they have
done in times past, come what may. We
have no fears as to the final result of the
awful condition into ghich the party in
power have brought osr county. The De-
mocracy of the country alone can restore
peace and procure prosperity. To that par
ty millions OF bereayed widows, orphans,
brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers look
for refuge from the tempest of desolation
which now sweeps over The land Let rs
then, Ii ve up 10 our task. Let not moment
go unimproved. Work by day and py night,
now and at alliimes, until onr country is
again restored 10 iis wanted prosperity and
happiness This is the mission of the Dem
ocra,ic party, and this they will yet accom-
plish.
But there is another consideration which
should induce the Democracy to be vigilant
and active. Self-preservalion is said 10 be
iFstlaw of nature. When a PERSONS life is
in peril, he is justified before God and man
TO defeud himself. Should the radical por.
lion OF the party in power assume complete
control of the Government or should they
feel confident of their strength and power,
the rights OF the Democracy would soon be
swept from the county. The person of
Democrat would not be Bafs for a moment
A: recent meeting in Western Missouri,
lae notorious Gen. Jsnnison, held forth the
following language when speaking of the
Democrats
We ask you to say TO the Copperheads
-"Desist." II they will not put them 10
death, if necessary. If moi, | swear
I'll do ii for you. We are raising regi-
ment. Every loyal man will be protected :.
bu, every sneakiug Copperhead sympathi-
ger shall be put 10 death. [Great cheering.

you dom, repent III hang you so high that
your niggers can't reach your old clothes.
Decree Immediate emancipation, and You
are safe.
When my regiment marches into this, or
any other S;a;e, Pll say to every loyal man
-"We'll protect you,n and to Copperheads
-"We'll kill you" am here to counsel
you TO remove every Conservative man, or
trouble comes. You'lI be removed have
seven hundred men, and in few days will
be among you. Well stand by Platte CO.,
but you mast stand by freedom. We ask
you TO clear out the Copperheads. II you
don't do it, I'll do it for you. hope these
meetings will be oilen-ihat we'll meet on
the soil of Missouri often-and that lraiern al
relations will soon be restored throughout
the whole Stale but warn yoa-mark the
conditions upon which Missouri will be
allowed TO have peace-this can never be,
until slavery is abolished in Nilsson ri, and
Copperheads are converted or driven from
the State"
What the radical Jacobins in Missouri
and elsewhere mean by the term Cooper
head" was stated by Jenuison in the same
speech. He said:
'Show me the man who is not a radical
emancipationist, and youth either nd him
TO be a Copperhead or fool"

'sI live in one OF the most distant, one OF
the youngest, and, think | can say one Of
the puresl sisters of all. 1AppIause, There
a Copperhead is ordered to leave the State,
and, if be dom, he is shot down. C'sThat's
The way !'' and applause.l The Governor of
our young State is here tonight. He brings
me word that last Saturday, think il was,

OF Leavenworth, and that, not obeying their
order promptly, before night closed he was
found with two bullet holes through his
body. f"Good p and applause.l Tha, is

Continuing his speech, Senator Jim Lane
said -
81 would like TO live long enough to ses
every white man in South Carolina now in
hell, aud the negroes inhabiling their lerri-
tory. Loud applause.l
Finally he closed his inflammatory and
iendish appeal as follows: go e
81 bid you God speed in clearing out the
sympalhizers with treason in The District of
Columbia (Applause.) II would not wound
my feelings any day to find the dead bodies
of rebel sympalhizers pierced with bullet
holes in every street and alley in Washing
