The above, is from the Racine Journal is
in answer to some remarks we published not
long since illustrative of what the democrat
ic party in its partisan capacity has accom-
plished. The JoH,maJ says, ''when the South
erners became Southern disunionists, they left
the democratic party" But is that trae?
We think not These same Southerners have
been Southern disunionists for several years
nor did we ever see an intimation in North
err democratic paper, that they were any4ess
democrats for that The Journal is aware
that for years, the Southern secessi onists have
been threatening to dissolve the Union in case
Republican President should be elected, and
Northern democrats have very generally taken
the ground that they would be justified in that
course In the last Presidential canvass strong
appeals were constantly made to the North
not to vote for the Republican candidate be-
cause, if he was elected the South would Sc
cedc And it was then an acknowledged doc
trine Of the democratic party, that any State
might secede and destroy the Union at will.
The democratic party in its national capac-
ity, through James Buchanan, as its nation
al head, declared that there was no poweEun-
der the constitution to prevent a dissolution
of the Union if South Carolina saw fit to dis
the democratic party, nor did the democratic
party of the North ever take any steps to dis
solve its connection with Southern disunion-
lists, or even to breathe the gentlest condem-
nation of the doctrines, or the course Of South
ern democrats
The editor of the Joaynol processes to be a
| War Democrat. and pretends to be very fair
in his discussion of political matters and we
were therefore not little surprised to find him
talking about Wendell Philips, Garrison and
Booth as representatives of the Republican par
ty Mixing in the names of Greeley and Love
Joy does not he'll the matter When the Jo@r-
mai can show any treason or disloyalty from
either Mr.. Greeley Or Mr.. Lovejoy, it will be
time to use them as an offset to the list Of
democrats we quoted as now standing high
| in the rebel Government. The editor of the
J0mnal must certainly know that neither
Phillips or Garrison was ever identified with
the Republican party, On the contrary the
Boston Li5syatoy, Mr.. Garrisons paper has
always been more in favor of the triumph of
the Democratic party than Of the Republican
party. If the JonrHaI is going to claim the
credit of being an honest and honorable war
democratic paper, it will have to change its
course i'll this particular. It is not worth
while to falsify history, to screen the demo-
cratic party from the result of its own trea-
sonabIe and disloyal course.

IoN-Kenosha County was represented in
the late Democratic State Convention by

Robinson and Chas E. Bromley. The reso-
lutions making the notorious Ryan Address
and the resolutions of the Mass convention in
Milwaukee on the 25th of June last the plat
form of the party were unanimously adopted ;
so we may safely calculate that address and
the subsequent resolutions, to express the
views of these gentleman on the subjects I'M

and the resolutions too, are anything but 10y

which for few months, for reasons satisfac-
tory to the publishers no doubt, has pretend
ed to be loyal anti-Wood, anti-Vallandig-

fair and square on the ultra partisan disloyal
platform of the Ryan-Sat Clark peace-on
