The Union. [volume] (Georgetown, Del.) 1863-1866, 1864-05-13
vIPERs IN SUSSEX.

What wall of lameutation is now CO.
ing up from almost every home in this
country The recent fights in Virginia
have been excessively bloody; death has
reaped heavy harvest; acres of ground
are strewed with the dead and the dying;
and yet Notwithstanding this universal
thrill Of horror how worse than reasonable
1t is that in onr midst we can find men who
calling themselves democrats, Justify
JEFF Davis in his bloody struggle against
this government. Has not the patience
OF the people Of Delaware been nearly ex-
hausted by their boldness, their treason
and their desperation Shall we submit
much longer to the infamous words and
acts Of men who almost exult over the
eorpses Of our dead soldiers ? These
wretehes with Their brothers and sons and
relatives fighting in the rebel army are
basking themselves like losthsome vipers
under the protection OF our governments,
and at the same time continually cursing
and ridiculing the administration and
those who are struggling for cur integrity
as nation and our rights as people
Let the mesnness of these democrats
never BE forgotten; let their names be
continually mentioned in the social circle,
around the Preside, and upon all occasions
in connection with their reasonable ex-
pressions and their traitorous acts let the
infamy of which they have been guilty,
follow them as perpetual curse and
howl of popular indignation accompany
them through life.
We ask our readers in Sussex if they
have forgotten the men, who, in our good
old County at Seatord had the bold audacity
to fire salute over the surrender of Fort
Sumpter and exuit over the fall Of our
lag and the triumph OF traitors Are
they not democrats Who has forgotten
the Infamous expressions of some of the
men who were on the last democratic tick
ct IN this County,? 1t is remarkable
fact that there are some democrats in Sus-
sex who have in their super-abundance of
democracy and treason-twiu brothers
called their children by the names of the
leaders Of this rebellion; poor ignorant
Tretches they nave thus indelibly entailed
their own intalny and treason upon their
offspring. Who has forgotten the shouts
ana hurrahs forJetf Davis that were given
in this County by men that are now re-
cognized as democrats
And yet our readers have not failed to
observe that these braggadocios of treason
are braggadocios of democracy, and that
that party hugs them to its bosom as its
pet faverites. How remarkable it il that
ne who admires the chivalry of the south
ern blood hounds, also admires the peace
ful prociiyities of the democracy, aad that
he who hopes success to southern treason,
wishes the restoration of the democratic
party!
Let US, therefore, have the triumph Of
the Union party Tor the sake Of the Union,
and for the sake of our liberties, Should
the people Of this country at their next
election decide in favor of the continuance
OF the Union party, we may have no fear
OF a ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of this great Nation
We shall in that event continue one Ma
ton and one Government; wa shall no more
be insulted on our public highwaysby the
democrats who cheer for JEFF. Davis, and
eur country win be saved frsn the control
of class of men who, being unwilling to
submit to the voice Of a majority, ipsugu-
rated this bloody war
Give US Democracy, but not such de-
m0craey, unwilling to yield to the maiori-
sy that sleatsd Mr. Lincoln, not he South
