Bis second election, the South might
well do ii on his first. 10 some, this
talk about foreible resistance may
seem out Of place in those who are SO
willing to sacrifice everything for The
blessings Of peace. Put this is the
privilege Of the Democracy. They
can first draw fearful pictures Of the
horrors Of war and call upon the Gov
ernment TO give US peace at any price,
and the next moment threaten to carr
ry their party ends by violence AID
blood. For the sal Of peace they
wish the Government 10 give up ma
\ lional honor and existence, but TO sns-
tain the power Of The Democracy they
ara ready for anything that promises
success, be il riot or iusurrection.-
/ When We see them so ready for war

Among the 'hordes Of hirelng sol
diery' Of Which this Democratic ora
tor speaks, are men, high IN rank and
honor, who were The pride Of the De-
mocracy in-its better days. They are
are now the Abolition thieves and
traitors As the 'hireling soldiery'
aud 'shoddy Abolitionists' appear to
| be the same class, we suppose the
'dyspeptic race whieh this new Demo
cratic army viii have to meet are our
/ Union soldiers--the veterans Of many
hard fought field. In spite OF all
our natural sympathy for the weak
aud fallen, il viii be found impossible
10 repress smile Of derision at the
thought OF democratic instruction
against these forces or the material
from which they were drawn, Al
though in lis speech the excited Dem
ocralic mouth piece makes one regi-
ment whip three of them, weare afraid
/ the expression would have fate even
worse than that Of similar one once
current at the South.
This Democratic orator with true
Democratic regard for the truth, says
our armies have accomplished roth
ing This lie needs no refutation
but he follows up this by saying that
Tie Army Of the Potomac, the only
one ii our armies which las not &C.
eomplished decisive results, is "a pie
nec excursion. The thousands Of
@odies that sleep in Chickahosoiny
suamps, whore they veut under The
leadership Of him whom they uo~
nominate for the Presidency, at least
attest that Il i something more than
a bic mic excursion. The Democra-
cy is usually willing enough to remem.

necessary war. But their sor row u
