trouble TO write than heretofore, and be-
sides all that, l have the benefit of the
untutored, but honest opinions of the pure
Democracy of the County. The people
here, as everywhere, are opposed to the
continuing of the war, as well as the
mode and manner OF its prosecution by
the present Administration.
Had jeff Davis, with his great and un-
riyaled ability as a statesman, his integri-
ty and honesty of purpose, and his desire
for peace been invested with Supreme
power, we should have had a termination
to our present troubles long ago. Three
times did he offer to negotiate with the
Northern Government, but no proposition
would be entertained touching on peace,
unless accompanied with terms, at once
degrading and humiliating, based ON the
unconstitutional proclamatIons of Old
Abe Lincoln. The Southern people never
will, and never can be subjugated, they
are engaged in the cause of freedom and
selt-protection, united for self-Govern-
ment, fighting for their homes, their de-
| fined rights under the Constitution, the
| last man and the last dollar may 90, but
the South cannot be subjugated and COM
pelled to ANONYMOUSLY fall for pardon and
protection at the knee of New England's
God.
We hope the day is not far distant,
when New England and not the South
shall be driven out of the Union of States,
that the Puritan spirit may be limited,
that peace and liberation may again per-
wade our once happy land. The platform
Of the radical Republican party promul-
gated through its leader Gen. Fremont
demonstrate the fact, that the principles
of the Democratic party of the country is
right. The Convention which placed
Gen. Fremont in nomination promulgated
the same princlples-set forth the same
doctrine-(save the resolutions on slavery
which have been advocated and contended
for ever since the adoption of the Consti-
tuition. Fremont has yet some regard for
the institutions of the country. But Lin
coin and his cohorts have none,
Look at his platform. What does he
offer Peace, no. Tie Washington dy-
nasty does not ,cant peace upon any terms,
they want the war 20 continue for merce-
nary purposes; proposition for reconstruc-
ton. No. Not one word said upon the
subject, that project has failed, as emu
merated in the Presidents Message the
Constitution and the Union, they propose
to maintain. VIII one of the satellites of
the party, point out any one principle of
the Constitution they have ever regarded,
And as TO the union of States as hereto
fore Such proposition is regarded as
hggh treason from the Cabinet Of Old Abe
Lincoln, TO the lowest serf in his service.
The ninth resolution of the Baltimore
platform is most characteristic OF the
Puritan spirit of that body. READ IT,
THAT the foreign emigration Chich in
part has added so much to the wealth,
development of resources, and increase of
power to this nation, the asylum of the
oppressed of all nations, should be foster
ed and encouraged by a liberal and Just
policy" The above resolution was pass
ed by the Abolitionist-know-Not othino
party OF the country in the National Con
vention at Baltimore, on the Sth day of
June, 1864. Who can be so silly, as to
believe the honesty of the party, who only
few years ago held midnight meetings
under sworn pledges to dlsfranchise from
all political privileges, foreigners from
every country, and who not content with
deprivation of all constitutional privi-
leges, but in the most shameless manner
split their blood in the streets of Balti-
more, Philadelphia. New York, Boston
and Cincinnati, under the Known othing
doctrine that "none but americans on
duty Tonight" Now that Lincoln and
his tellow-traitors to the country with an
unblushing audacity invites foreigners to
come to this asylum of the oppressed
OF all nations" For what? To put
them in the army to fight the cause of
negro freedom, and carry out the nefari-
Gus desigus of the fanatics of New Eng
land. Can foreigners be so deluded as to
come to this country under the pretext of
making our canals and railroads and ad-
ding to the wealth of our country? |
hope not !! The real object of the Lin
coin dynasty is to enlarge their army with
foreigners 'cith negroes IN rese,ve, that both
may We exterminated, to procure Southern
Territory for Yankee speculation. hope
never to see the day when the South shall
be conquered for such unholy purposes,
or that the North shall be so duped as to
give aid and comfort to a project so en-
tirely at variance with common Justice,
common right, and constitutional liberty.
