The Democratic Party IA Law
and Order FAIRY.

The Democratic party is now and
always has been a law abiding and q
law-obeying party. 1t always has
counscled, and does now counsel, the
maintenance Of good order. Resis-
tance to law has never been any part
of its creed OF practice. On the con
trary, it has always denounced those
who refused obedience to the laws, and
has always held that those who forcibly
resisted the execution of law should
be severely punished. In this, as in
other things, it has always been right.
1t is too late to ask now that this good
old Democratic party shall change its
principles Or its policy upon this sub
jeet. 3
The Abolitionists used to resist the
execution of the Fugitive Slave Law.
They regarded it as odious and outra-
'geous, and openly preached and prac-
ticed forcible resistance to its execution.
This they continued to do after it had
been declared to be constitutional by
the highest Courts of the land. The
Democratic party denounced them
and very properly, too-for forcibly
resisting it.
The Conscript law is probably more
odious and infamous in the eyes Of the
great body of the people in the loyal
States, than was the Fugitive Slave law
in the eyes Of the Abolitionists. But
if it was wrong for the Abolitionists
to forcibly resist the Fugitive Slave
law, it would be equally wrong for any
part of our people to forcibly resist
the Conscript law. 1t wouldn't be
very consistent for Democrat to de-
nounce others for resisting q law of the
land, and then turn about and resist a
law of the land himself. That must
not be so long as it is law. Should
a proper tribunal decide the Conscript
law to be unconstitutional (Which We
believe it to be, then, of course, its
enforcement would be abandoned. If
q law is odious to- the people, or is un-
constitutional, they have their remedy
at the ballot box or in the courts.
They may elect men to represent them
in Congress who will repeal it; or they
may take it to the courts where it will
be declared unconstitutional. What
more can be desired? Resistance to
law will will neither repeal it, nor test
its constitutionality. 1t will still re-
main upon the statute books, and will
be enforced in spite of resistance, or
else, in the conflict, both the law and
the government will be wiped out Of
existence. And then, what will be
gained? Sooner Or later the conflict
must be settled, and it can only be set
tied upon terms of q general agree
ment to obey the laws and preserve
order. But il one set of men are per-
mitted to resist one law, another set
Of men will claim the right to resist
some other law. Thus all the laws
would be resisted, and there could be
no such thing as a government Of law.
But no man has right to assume,
that Democrats contemplate resistance
to the Conscript or any other law. -7
They are not the men to resist any
law that is not decided to be uncon-
stitutional by the Courts; but they in
sist upon obedience to oil the laws. -
They themselves expect to obey them,
and will insist that their political OPP
ponents shall do the same. States
