popular feeling must be livery deep and I'M
mistakeable that can draw together, at this
busy season of the year, such large con-
course of people," Now the Journal had seen
the statement in several Milwaukee papers
probably, that at the outside there We're not
more than 5000 persons at that great mass
convention, which is not large gathering
for mass convention in q city of the size of
Milwaukee, especially when that city itself
gives 5000 Democratic majority. After ex-
cusing the disloyal speeches at the great DEM
ocratic demonstration, Oh the ground that
''the present national administration is incom-
petent to meet and manage the crisis that Is
upon the country" The Journal closes its
article as follows:
''It should and must be the mission of the
democrotic party to place men in power who
are statesmen-men who understand the SCI
ence of government-can carry out its COM
prehensive policy, and look beyond the mar
row confines of fanatical hatred and stupid
malice. Such men are needed in power III
time of war. They will be still more needed
Wnen we shall again have pcttce'
The democratic party has succeeded re-
markedly well in times past in its mission.
! When we look back upon the statesman the
democratic party has placed in pow
er, we cannot help but think that the editor
of the Journal is joking. Look at them
There is James Buchanan, last of the ilIustri-
Gus line, Franklin Pierce, his 'illustrious pre-
decessor," and then there is John G. Breckin-
ridge, Floyd, jeff. Davis, the infamous Val
landigham, Stephens, Toombs, WISE Wigfall,
Mason, Slidell, Yancey, Hunter, Benjamin,
Mallory, Reagan, Hindman Orr, Miles, Nc
Queen, Pryor, Barksdale, Garnet, Bocock,
and many others we might mention-most
of them now holding high Office in the rebel
government.
These are the statesmen @ the democratic
party has placed in power and kept in power
until they brought the country to the brink
of ruin. Who shall say that they did not
understand the science of government or
that they could not 'carry out its comprehen-
sive policy, and look beyond the narrow con-
fines of fanatical hatred and stupid malice p
/ Where are the democratic statesmen that
our neighbor of the Journal proposes to place
in power The long list of democratic states
men that we have named above are serving
the Rebellion, with the brand Of Traitor upon
their brows. Douglas is dead, and if alive
would have been in the Republican ranks long
ere this Stanton, Halleck, Sprague, Dix,
Foster, Butler, Burnside Grant, McClernand,
Prentiss Rosecrans, and many others who
gave dignity to the Democratic party, once
are either in the councils of the Lincoln ad
ministration or fighting the battles Of theil
country against rebels and traitors, and are
therefore outside of the heaJthy organization
of the Democratic party. VIII the war dem
ocracy, of which the Journal is an able, anc
we believe honest representative, consent t.
take such men as Vallandigham, Fernando
Wood, Pugh of Ohio and others like them, t.
place in power? Does it believe they cal
look beyond the marrow confines Of fanati
cal hatred and stupid malice ?' Wehave ye
to see any evidence that they can or will.

VALLAND1GHAM's PRosPEoTs.-Many of on
Democratic exchanges are canvassing the
prospects of the election Of the infamous trait
or Vallandigham, to the Governship Of Ohio
and themost of them, even the out and out wa
emocratic kind come to the conclusion that h
will be elected. The Racine Journal one ofth
moderate and loyal Democratic papers in TIN
State says, 1T will not surprise the countr.
if Vallandigham is elected" 1t will mos
certainly surprise us if he is elected Thu
JouymoI thinks if he had been let aione an(
permitted to spout his treason unquestioned
he could not have been elected, but it says
''Since his Punishment change has become
visible Men who would not have supported
him BEFORE are now advocating his election
The Journal does not approve this course
1t Justly observes, eff his principles were
wrong before his arrest they are so still i
his teachings were revolutionary then, they
will be again. That is correct doctrine, ant
we should think the acknowledgement first
quoted that ValIandigham would most likely
be elected, would be humiliating, to any Dem
ocrat who has the honesty to inculcate it.
If the Democracy of Ohio, even when urg-
ed on by the Democracy of every other State
south as well as north, should so far forget
their duty and dignity as American citizens
as to elect this pestilent fellow, they will de
serve as they will receive, the scorn of al
right-minded men of all parties. If to becomes
criminal is all that is necessary to insure ar
election to Office by the Democracy, they will
soon have more candidates of that class than
there are offices to fill.
