moment peace may be restored on the
basis Of the Federal Union of the States
Here are two propositions: lst, that
the Democratic party will unswerv
ingly adhere to the Union. Nothing is
to turn it aside from this object. But
suppose that Mr. Davis and the South re.
fuse to come back into the Union Nc
danger Of this. if the Democratic party
succeeds. Mr.. Davis and his party
would never have seeded if they could
have had all they wanted. The Demo
cratic party will give them this, Because
this party must have the Uuion, and il
will 60 any thing for the Uuion except
one thing-they will not fight for it,
War is plsyd QUIT is failure accord
ing to the second resolutions. The Dem.
ocratic party intends to have the Union
at any price, except the price of war;
the price of blood This is certainly
plain enough for any comprehension.
Not doubt Of lis success, if it can elect
Mcclellan, for though Mcclellan has
been WM Democrat, the moment he
becomes q Peace Democrat--a Southern
Democrat.
The democrats would say 10 JEFF Da-
Wis, "We are determined that the Union
shall be restored by any means except
one that is, we will not fight you," But
Jeff. Davis would reply, ali you do not
remove your armies from our soil, for
otherwise we will fight YOU
Democratic party--"Oh, that is the
very idea-that will be done iuslanter." !"
Mr.. Davis--."Then you will lot us a.
lone-that is all we want"
Democral-.'No. The North and
South must live together. We are un-
swervingly for the Union.'
Mr.. Davis-"But we don't want to
live with you, and according to the doc
trins OF state sovereignty, we have righ!
to do as We please"
Democrst-"But listen, Mr.. Davis.
The Union must be restored, but you
may make your own term. We are un-
swerviugly for the Union" E
Mr.. Davis-Very well, then. De.
pose your President, and let Richmond
be the Confederate Capitol for all t he
States, you joining us, whom you admit
you have SO outrageously wronged."
Democrat-"But would you not con-
sent to make the city of Washington the
Capitol?" t, @a.. .a.a
Mr.. Davis-"What is the difference
so the Union is restored Nevertheless,
| will consent to make the change when
you have disposed of Mcclellan and his
adhsrents'' ... ....,,-
Democrat-"O, he is with us. He is
ready to do your bidding. We are un-
swervingly for the Uuion on any terms
but fighting for it,"
Mr.. Dayis-"But what about the run
away negroes 2" ar.. ,n
Democrat-"W will catch them for
you"
Mr.. Davis-"What about our debt :"
Democrat-"We will pay it,"
Mr.. Davis-"And our ruined homes "
Democrat-"We will restore all by
the labor Of our hard listed yeomanry."
Mr.. Davis-"Will you re deliver to US
the hundreds of thousands of slaves
whom the war has made free 2"
Democrat--"We will"
Mr.. Davis--"Then l will consent to
be President of the United States. But
you plebeisn scoundrels, take care how
you again, by your mudsill majorities,
attempt to thwart the will Of the aristoc-
ricy, of the land, and, ssssil the divinity
Of slavery" ,a. -
Mr.. Editor, this is not an overwrought
picture. The Chicago resolutions mean
all this. 1t is little amusing to see
that, in one of their resolutions, the
Democrats call their party "they." AS
for example. "The aim and object of
the Democratic party is to preserve the
Federal Union and the rights of the
States unimpared, and. 'they" declare
that they" DC. Perhaps the phrase
was used to represent the heterogeneous
ness of the conclave. But grammar is
however, small thing in comparison
with resolutions unworthy Of men.
