MIR. Speaker, Democratic policy, speaking through
officers his in command in the Army OF the Poto-
mao now more than year ago, threatened to marcn
upon the capital and dispense Congress as Cromwell
| did the Parliament, because JOINT Committee OF
b,th Houses of Congress was inqniring into the
conduct Of the war. Democratic policy, when Gen.
Fremont proclaimed freedom TO the slaves OF Rebels
in hissouri, inundated the Executive mansion with
falsehoods which had their coming in Slavery
malice and disappointed ambitioni and Repuoh-
eau President yielding 10 torrervVbich he thought
resistless removed lin from his command; ana al
though the policy OF this Proclamation has since
been accepted by tho Government and the charges
on which he was hounded down are known to be
false, yet Democratic policy sIi deprives tho couo,
Try OF his service, because he 10 llepubilcsn ana
| sn unbeliever ia the supreme divinity OF Slavery.
Democratic policy holds in it's hands all the great
machinery of this war; aud directs It according to
! It's own WILL Our present Communicating Chief Is
Democrat whose future management OF the war, l.
We are TO judge from his past career, promises
nothing for the country. VI the MAJOR ana Brlya-
dill Generals In our armies, Democratic policy has
favored this Republican Administration, n am not
mistaken, with over four Enthusiastically m over
whelmng majority; while those great hives OF
military patronage, the AdJqtsnt General Depart
uIent, the Quattermsstcr's Department. the Com
mi-sary Department, the Ordnance Department,
and the Pay Department are sll under Democratic
control, and have been during the war. Several OF
the heads Of these departments held their positOns
under James Buchanan; while Democratic policy
ike wise controls the chief bureaus In the Navy De-
parlment. Democratic policy has not only studi-
ousy thrown into the background Republican Gen.
ernls whose hearts are III the war, and pat IN the
lead political Generals oi it's own type but has puT-
sued the came policy toward Democratic Oener"i'
who have evinced q change OF views on the ques-
ton of Slavery. Mitchell and Hunter are cases III
