Daily Davenport Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1864-1874, 1864-06-28

Inc history OF the wal proves tht' tiie
people Of the Mon States united are album
dainty able t. put down the rebellion hy
force Of arms and establish the nationality
Of the American republic upon basis that
may be regarded solid and lndcstructabie
II is clear enough, also, that one-hai the
people of the North are Inadequate to the
task Of preserving pr restoring The nation
against the relentless opposition Of the other
half, and the practically united people ~ the
seeding States, armed aud desperate. Con
vince us that one half the people North are
earnest sympathzers with the rebellion and
are practically co op, rating with armed trai-
tors, so far 40 their political action is con
cerned and ready to give them armed assis
lance, if occasion offers and we shall be
constrained to believe the national cause IA
helpless one
What else, let rs IN all candor ask, is the
entire bulk of the Republican party through
ITS public speakers, it, prints and It's pubic
acts, doing but to endca,or to prove to the
people OF the rebellious States and 10 the
world at large, that the Democratic party ~
III earnest sympathy with the rebellion -
Is there Democratic convention held a
Democratic speech made, Democratic news
paper published, dat the Republicans do
not declare To- he III direct and une9uiso, al
" sympathy with the rebellion p Nearly
II not quite onehalf Of the people OF The
Northern States are opposed to the Ie-
election OF Abraham Lincoln get The most
strenuous efforts are made bv the Rernbii
can press to prove that all who are opposed
to the reelection movement are opposed to
the government, aud that the noycin-
mcnt IS embodied IN Abraham, the Presi-
dent of the United States What better
proof does the Conmsrcsot ask Of the rebel
lion sympatlzlng prochvlties OF the great
Democratic party of the North, than the
testimony oi its own party organ 1t Is the
doctrine that their teachers disseminate it
IS argument, that ~ banded from every
stump, and the staple that is, and will con
tinuc TO b. used through the entire campaign
to prove that the Democratic candidates are
unworthy of the support OF the masses.
The Commercial has the required proof be-
fore tiff indeed, it has any confidence IL
the testimony OF It's own witnesses They
take especial pains to bear witness 10 the
disloyalty of the Democracy, and this esi-
IN the North. No doubt that it nerves the
arms and strengthens the resolution of the
rebellious, brave men OF the South and
helps raise armies to strike down the Union
This cannot be denied in any degree, and if
the rebels take these Administration men ut
their word, can any one he surprised that
the last man. the last dollar, and the last
effort of the South, is and will continue to
be brought t. bear against the Union
Not At all ior some day, they believe, this
latent but powerful Democratic strength will
not be used lassirely. but actirety, in their
favor. They are taught this by the R,puJ-
lsc0n party 1t is proclaimed to them con
tinually, and why should they not believe il
and gather strength from il ? They do, and
they will continue to do SO just so long as
believe or disbelieve the evidence OF It's own
party fit believes. why then does it not
announce g the national cause a helpless
one 7" if It disbelieves the arguments OF its
own party why does it affiliate with treason
and perjury
SoNE Of the Abolition newspapers, since
the nomination of Andrew johnson on the
Abolition ticket for Wee President, have
been publishing extracts from speeches de-
ivered by him in the Senate after the rebel
lion began, and before he had been appoint
ed Military Governor of Tennessee. They
should 60 little further back They should
look into some OF his speeches delivered
little earlier, when he was aboring with an
parent and, We have no doubt, real sincerity
along With good men all over the country,
TO preserve in the hearts and minds Of the
people Of both sections of the country that
love for the Union and that hatred Of its
enemies by which alone dissolution could be
avoided We have one of these earlier
speeches before us, brief extract from
which will indicate the tenor Of the whole
There are two parties i'll existence who
want dissolution. Slavery and a Southern
Confederacy is the hobby Sumner wants.
TO break up the Government, and so do the
Abolitionists generally They hold that, if
slavery survives, the Union cannot endure
Secessionists argue that, if the Union con
6nues, slavery is lost. Abolitionists want
no compromise, but they regard peaceable
secession as humbug The two occupy
the same ground. Why, abolition is disso
luton; dissolution is secession-one is the
other. Both are striving to accomplish the
same object"
1t is the author Of this langnage-every
word Of which is truth-who is now the
Abolition candidate for Vice President.
