With democrats alone, and oTer the rebellion
which ~as got up by democrats alone Dur
ing this lime, tho democrats controlling the
government permitted the democrats con-
trolling the rebellion to take forcible posses
sion If every mint, custom housc. fort, Arse
nal aud i,ch IF. qrs,4ad In the South, aud to
haul do N the stars and stripes and raise the
secession cmblom throughout the whole Of
eleren States, except Forts Pickens and
Sumter, and al this without even word of
protest Was not this gross abuse Of DEM
ocratic power? i
Lit compllins that Virginia, by its re-
bcllion and dsyision into two States, IL rep.
restnted hy four Senators at Washington,
und t1y two at Richmond. As all these rep
reseptatiyes arc ''democrats," We do not sec
that they should complain. It il especially
senstultifting for John 8. Carlisle or Fest
Virginia thus to rcpudtate the act BY which
he eits In Congress-
Is. 1t always speaks Of the rebellion as the
s'Confede.ate States," styles the Union +the
Contederacy," aud calls the State govern
ments formed in tho conquered States "bo.
gus States" The acts Of the Federal govern
ment are styled tbogus," term nowhere
applied to anything pertaining to the rebel
lion.
16. It condemns holding the conquered
States under military government, and con-
demns allowing the loyal portion Of their
people, not lcss than one-tenth. &C.. to form
new one. lhe only possible inference is
that It's authors. want the rebels to rule the
Unionists in the recovered States.
II. 1t complains that the President has no
constitutional power to suppress rebellion
within State. save at the request Of the
State officers thereof Bosh!
is. That the Federal government in ralslng
troops must do SO through the State author
tiles. Qmagine the Federal government
saying, s'Please Mr.. Seymour, mayn't have
some Of your fliends ?''')
10. It says our conscription law is Il with
ont example in the history Of the United
States." Had we not conscription laws in
the Revolutionary war and in l613s Perhaps
the Copperheads mny find "preceden:" in
the consumption law passed by the irregular
Democratic opposition at Richmond.
| 20 They say *s the validity Of the conscrip.
| tion law has been questioned" but they for.
get to state that the question has been dc
cided.
Fl. They state that CONSUMPTION Law
| policy Of the administration chilled and dis
gusted the people, but do not state that
Mcclellan called for conscription before ths
anti slavery policy was adopted.
q. They not only object. to drafts but tt
bounties rs too expensive, but do not tell u
how troops can be raised without either. i
1t by the :Democratic'' Southern mode O.
sending bloodhounds after the disloyal.
23. They object to the free States going
Into Kentucky to get black troops, hut moi
to the rebels coming there to get white ones
"a. They object to the employment O
neero troops but do not offer to 70 in theil
ttead nor get others to do SO.
Is. They are willing to employ negroes a!
! slaves I" "laborers, teamstets and in camp scr
vice'') but not as freemen. They do not tel
us Why the negroes as slaves should prefe
| new masters to their old ones.
&c. They are afraid Of the equality OF tht
blacks with themselves Judging their cal
ftre by this address they hare reason to be
for any alleged superiority on their part il
purely legal fiction.
27. They ere afraid Of extending to the ne

g. It COMPLAINS that the tsemapcIpation'
policy prolonged the war By depriving rs o.
allies and sympathy In the enemy's country u
For two years under the pro. slavery policy
We had but three active allies ut the South
Parson Brown1ow, Andy johnson and 4 j.
Hamilton. Now We have four millions OF
allies end sympathy to the extent OF more
than hundred thousand bag onets; an equal
amount Of help from the "Copperheads"
would soon end the war.
80. It states that p" It Is Of the highest poll
cy, tits Of the greatest necessity that the n
cee ehoold be kept distinct socially; that
they should not blend together to their mu

ing can prevent. amalgamation Where one
race as held IN elavery these Copperheads
should be AbolitioniEts- Where "Democra'

us fifth breeds feas. But freedom gives to
every woman-black Or White-hetself, heI
husband, father and brotheTs-the natural
defenders Of her virtue. and the blending OF
the races ceases.
81. It states that " those who have faith In
our American principles will look to the peo.
ple, and will seek to rouse and organize them
| and direct their united strength aga;nst the
evils of the time.', The evils Of the time are
