party while the little handful of boilers
who voted the Republican ticket are
characterized as the genuine Democratic
party. Cass, Seymour and Dallas are
no longer Democrats, while Sumner, But
Ter, Chase and Greeley, are the very par
agons of Democracy.
This so-called "War Democratic party"
is one of the humbugs of the day. In
what respect does it differ from the Re-
publican, Abolition or "Union" party,
by whichever name the party in power
may be distinguished2 The fWar De-
mocracy" indorse all the acts of the
Administration, and it is portion of
their creed to denounce as traitors to
the Government all who doubt the in
fallibility of Mr.. Lincoln, or question
even the wisdom or policy of any of the
measures OF the party in power. Ger

western States, having, separately, pro-
claimed their devotion to the true and
time-honored principles of the Demo

illustrated by Jackson, and practically
carried out by the faithful statesmen
and heroes of that party of the present |

direct antagnoism to the time-honored |
principles of Democracy as propounded |
by Jefferson and illustrated by Jackson7 /
There is not a particle of difference be-
tween the "War Democracy" and the
Administration party, They make no
issue with the party in power. They |
dare not condemn even the glaring abus-

characterized the administration of the |
Government since March 4th, 1861, and
that have had no parallel in the history
