Nothing is more plain, and the power once
in their hands, the rebels have everything
their own way. In all the leading move
ments of those who now control it, their
sympathy with southern treason is open
aud undisguised; and to-day the danger Of
the country lie far greater fiom them and
the political disunion at the North, than
from any other source whatever. All the
traitors and abeitors of the rebellion, which
the administration, through mistaken pol
icy, as we believe, let out of prison, last
fall, are all now hard at work in various
ways to break down the administration and
destroy the Government. Far better il
the order had been for their execution.
Under the name Of +" democracy" these and
all other northern sympathizers with the
South, are now banded together, and from
day to day are sapping out the life blood of
the nation.
In the speech Of the notorious Vallan-
bingham, recently, he said 1.-The day which
divides the North from the Souih that self
same day DEGREES eternal divorce between
the West and the East" and this style of
secession talk in the North is becoming
common. In their organs it creeps out day
by day, and is being nstilled into and poi.
soning the minds of the people as far as
possible. The New York Leader, "dem-
ocratic f" paper, has the following:
:" In our opinion, the best plan is to cut
loose from New England and send her
adIift in the Atlantic, as an ou.cast from
the country she has labored SO long 10
ruin, and as an object of scorn and detesta-
ton for all time 20 come. The two great
est misfortunes that ever befel mankind
were the fall of Adam and the safe arrival
at Plymouth Rock of the Mayfowcr, with
her pestilent crew of hypocries and NAL
contents. The failure of the Atlantic to
swallow up that vessel, renders it necessa-
ry that we should now consign all New
England to its briny BOSOM
Here is another specimen from the dem
ocratic Legislature of Indiana:
I" Resolred, That had it not been for the
fanaticism and peculation of New England,
our generation would not have witnessed
the ghasily spectacle of disunion and we're
II not for the same causes, still potent for
evil, those difficulties could be easily adjust
ed; therefore, we declare that when we
have exhausted every reasonable effort for
the restoration of the Union as it was,
should New England stand in the breach,
then will We cheerfully say to New Eng
land, with all her cupidity, with all her
meanness, fanaticism, follies and moral tur-
pitude, we bid you good-by, remembering
you only for the wrong you have done US"
Atarecent democratic meeting at Spring
field, Illinois, Mr. Gowdy said:
In the event of the President refusing
to withdraw the proclamation, he was in ia
vor of marching an army to Washington
and hurting the officers OF the present ad-
minisfration from their positions! He
thought It would not take much force to do
it."
And yet you will hear these self-styled
democrats in New England, talk about the
violation of the Constitution At the same
meeting, one Merrick boldly announced
himself in favor Of orgaizing Western re-
public, while others were for Withdrawing
the troops Of Illinois from the field, say
ing (" They had been enlisted on false pre-
lenses" Look at the fruits of these dem
ocrats,' in the desertion Of one entire I'LL
nos regiment, except one company. The
same is true Of the democracy in other
States. In New Jersey, not long since,
Ex-Gov. Price made this declaration, that
he was willing to say 10 the South:
e" Come back you shall lave all the
guarantees you had before, and if you want
more for the institutions in your respective
States, you shall have them"
The democratic papers are iterating this
kind Of talk and sentiment everywhere, and
their papers are now being sent to the army
for gratuitous circulation, and for the very
purpose of demoralzing the army and Gre
aiing tentiment in it against the admins
tration and Government. To such con-
dition have we arrived at last Treason is
now a. outspoken in the North as at the
South. Well may We tremble for the Re-
public If the Union is lost, it will be lost
by the treason Of the northern democracy,
who have now allied themselves to the
traitors of the South. OF course we are
not fpesking of good and true democrats
who are still for the Union, hut the old DEM
ocratic party which has been seized upon
by the sympaihizers with the rebels and IL
