y -,uuiD, - Peace Democrat" can well af
frl years subscription Tor the pleasure de-
rived fon reading the above paragraph. We
proceed e. give from the same article a spec
imrn Of the cditars soul-stirring and heat.
scndrS c'oqucnoe:
Awake. yc sons and daughters of lib ty
loving patriotic whit" men Shake off the
foul nightmare of II, grophobia. Arise in
your might aud hurl wiihou, tic black demon
OF destruction. ere its fangs poison the heart
If Won pursue the mad folly OF y,ur Abolition
,artv zcalo;s, destruction awaits III"
Then follows very commendallc exhibit
ton OF pcni.cntial sorrow Tor the errors OF
himself and Coppcrhcad associates:
1--WE have gone astrav; we are following
after strange gods the blind are leading the
blind We Lave lost the path and our lights
are almost out. Let us return. fill our lamps.
and take the old beaten track; It's safest and
surest."
The above was evidently written after the
receipt of the election news from Ohio, Indi-
ana and Pennsylvania, and We are not sur
priscd that he should all at once begin to real
ize that the flights" of Democracy were
"almost out" and that tho defeat Of his
friends Cox, Long, Voorhics and Pcndlcton
should have induced the conviction that they
had been following strange gods The
election to take place seventeen days from
now will cxtingnish forever the last ray OF
hope to Peace I'D .mociacy" and Copper
heads We cannot but sympathize with our
pericut friend, aud we hope he will receive
grace to carry into practice his good resolu-
lutions. We remember the time when he was
following safe guides and worshipping with
them at the shrine of the Union party with
all apparent sincerity. If he has become
tired of feeding upon the husks of " Democra'
cy," and honestly resolves to return to his
fathers house, we doubt not he will be re-
ceivcd as was the prodgal of old
The editor of the Democrat sapparcntly ar
easy, fluent writer. His style. however, il
rather too much on the gro"d7oq"e@t order
to suit s,nsibl. men, no matter how we'll il
NAV be suited TO tho tastes of his "Hono.
cratic friends. We give tho following as Il
specimen of what he can do in the way OF
rhetorical flourish, when he shall venture tc
let himself out:
"By all our hopes oflibcrty, prosperity and
happincss.-by the authority OF the Consi'n
ton and laws of the land,--by the sacred
memory of Washington and his compatriot'
upon the blood-stainrd bat,le-iields ofthe Rev.
oiuiion.-by everything we hold near and
! dear in this ifc,--IN THE NAME OF GoD,-we
besrrch our Republican friends to pause and
reflect -
1t is pity the editor of the Democrat did
not meet with the following extract from the
speech of Horace Hetlrrn before "Dcmo.
cratic" convention in Indiana, July 80, 1864
Heflren is second in command of the Sons Of
Liberty, name lately assumed by tho X. &
c. lie says:
"Those who are in opposition to the DEM
ocratic party arc standing upon the verge OF o
volcano, which will burst forth in short
time and blow all men to hell whQ stand OF
the abolition side of the question"
Or this, from his Coppcrhead co-laborcr o.
the Syracuse ~. W Courier:
"le minions OF power! eslaves to pow
cr! Ye parasites aud fanatics! Ye mock

rants who harden your heHts! Ye devils
