ne party 10 power have no escape from Its
position. its issues are made up
The denomination Of Lincoln endorses the
acts and policy Of this administration, need they
be commented uponf To name. in presence OF
an American audience, the measures alone, is
SUFFICIENT to start the blood in any patriots veins
and cause every cheek TO mantle with shame.
Think OF obhterating State lines, as in Virginia;
think OF eonhscaton; think OF war upon defence
less women and children; think Os baruing cities
and the destruction Of private property; think Of
emancipation of negro soldiers and negro equality,
call to mind the oft-repeated declaration of
war against the Democrats of the North; the
numberless cases OF arrest and Imprisonment;
think Of the suspension of the writ of habeas cor
pus, the entire subsection of the civil to the mill
tary authority. to say nothing Of CONSUMPTION and
taxation, the restriction upon speech and the
press; include. If you please, the wholesale rob
berry, more vast than the devil himself can com
pound.
Add to this system of detectives, spies, infor
mers ard Provost Marshals that swarm through
out the land, like the lOcusts in Egypt. What
pictured turn, without further comment, With
loathng and contempt from It's contemplation.
The Lincoln party is committed to the sublu-
CATION ofthe South, eKterminating its people,
overrGnning that country, with free negroes arm
ell as soldiers, re popping it with its own sup
porters, then admitting the desolated States into
their own happy union; happy, indeedl
The Democratic party, although there may be
few who do not take this view now, will plant
themselves upon the solidrock of the equality and
sovereignty of the States, and should the general
Government fall into their keeping. they will be
bound to regard the reserved powers OF the
States, faithfully execute the Constitution, by
and through which alone the Federal authority
is secured. Restore peace upon the basis OF a
convention Then, if the law breakers, and
those who disregaFGs Constitution, can bring
themselves TO part with their isms and lusts
for a general Government embracing all the
States. it is possible, in my judgment that it can
be accomplished But if the States having a
majority, who still persist in saying. no Union
with slavery, then let them have peaeeably
such Union as they desire, and let others
determine for themselves their furture relations
Should the Confederate States gain recogni-
ton and be admitted into the family of nations,
prior to a change of Administration, the States
of the North will be forced TO settle all their
questions of future utilization and providing for
this vast accumulation OF debt by themselves.

Now YOU ask, what is the future, what the
end?
Ny own opinion is that the people will agaiI
place the General Government, which is th,
Government SO far as the adhering States ar,
concerned, the Washington Government, in th.
hands of the Democratic party. 1t is no small
responsibility The Presidency is not an office t

and the man who takes it and does his duty
fulfilling his entire obligation, would be EN-
titled to the lasting gratitude Of the American

We can by being vested with the Govern

even failing in this holy and patriotic un

The end, then, my friends, is the triumph o

In my humble judgment, the States of tn
