upon technicalities when the sacrifice and
valor Of our SCARED and wsr-worn veterans
appealed to our States for ballots to deposit
in attesta.ien, of. love for that home they
were defending with prvation, treasure and
blood
How did the Democratic party meet this
appeal, and what has. been its record on
this question when there was possibility
of keeping ballots from our soldiers since
the rebellion gan? The answers are .un.
equivocal, furnishing leaders, who, in sea.
son and out of season, have Wanted their
compaHionshp of the injured and the rights
OF the people, we're fearful Of the soldiers
verdict; and by their acts proved that they
had apostaiized from the early Democratic,
faith. Their claim, Ike the clear fash of
thu light, comes home TO the mind Of every
legislator with many reasons Cor permitting
our soldiers to use the representative ballot
for one that could be framed for its exercise
by the cooler .booded stay.at home citizen;
and in lieu Of arguments against their
rights we have the jeers Of the press, parti-
san votes in State Legislatures. the tricks of
caucus and most significant acts which l
shall, as chronicier Of the time, combine
to prove the recreancy of Democracy. Its
base ingrat,tude, "sharper than aserpent's
tooth," to our high.minded and sensitive
volunteers, was expressed in preparation
for the action Of State Legislatures by the
emineat literary oracle Of the party in this
language: sjf
"The common soldiers have gone to the
war for pay, the officers for honor and no
litical purposes, and few, if any, moved by
patriotism" -
Th,s base calnmny was often repeated
"Por Islander lives upon succession,
Forever hous ed where II gets possession"
with notifications by venial press, biased
courts, and Influenced State Legislatures
Of doubtful loyalty; and that there was a
proper appreciation by the soldiers ofthe
issue and the nature ofpartisans scruples
