Resistance TO Law not Democrat c Doc
trinc or Practice.


The Democratic party has always been
the party Of law aud order Resistance TO
law has never boon IL part of its creed or
it's practice. On the contrary, Democrats
have always bitterly denounced those who
refu -ed ohcd-ucc 10 the laws, and have
always held that hos" who forcibly resist
ed the execution Of law should be severe
Is punished IN thi- course the Democrats
have always been right II is too late in
the day TO ASK or demand that the Demo
Gratis shall change their principles or their
policy upon this subject The abolition
lists used to resist the execution OF the
fugitive slave law To the aboltionis's IL
was most odious and outraGeouslaw. But
Democrats used TO denounce them-and
very properly, too,-for resisting 1t. The
conscript law is probably as odious and
infamous IN the ewes OF Democrats the
fugitive slave law was in the eyes OF the
abolitonis's. But If it was wrong for the
abolitionists to resist the fugitive slave
law, it would be equally wrong for Demo
Gratis 10 denounCe otners for resisting law
Of the land, and then turn about and resist
a law Of the land HIMSELF The inconsist
eRcy is too absurd to think Of IF a law is
odous 10 the people, they have their
remedy in the balloiboI They have Il in
their power 10 elect men to congress who
will repeal it What more do tho people
want? Resistance to a law will not repeal
it, Tho law will still remain upon the
statute books, ami will be enforced in spite
of resistance or else, in the conflict. both
the law aud the government will be wiped
put OF existence. And then, what will
De gained? Sooner or later the conflict
must be settled, and j. can be settled upon
no other terms than that of n general
agreement to obey the laws. But If one
man, or one set of men, are permitted TO
resist one law, another man will claim the
right to resist some other law. Thus all
the laws would be resisted and there
could be no such thing as 4 government Of
law. But we have no right TO assume
that Democrats contemplate resistance to
the conscript or any other law :, far rs
we know they never have resisted law OF
the land, but have always insisted upon
obedieune to all the laws Some OF the
abolition papers charge that Democrats
threaten resistance. bat VIC have seen no
evidence calculated to prove the truth OF the
charge On the contrary, from their past
history we have a right To conclude that
the Democrats will not only respect and
obey the laws shcm-e,veS conscript law
and all, but that they will Insist their po-
litical opponents shall do the same.-l'Ga-
