The War Democrae, Embrace AbeIitionism.

We have often exposed the identity OF
doctrine between the Black Republicans
and those who assume the unmeaning ap
psIlation OF War Democrats. These two
parties profess to be hostile to each other
in political opinion, while, in fact. they are
virtually in close alliance upon all material
points. The only obstacle in their COM
plete affiliaiion that ever existed has a. last
been removed. The Hon. James Brooks,
in Congress, aud the New York World, in
It's editorial columns, have almost simulta-
neously pronounced Abolitionism 20 be one
Hon. James Brooks and the Wo,td are both
the acknowledged representatives OF the
War Democracy, so far as an individual
snd public journal can represent a party
thai is unreal, without distinctive principle /,
and existing only in ambiguous nomencla-
9nre. We may, therefore, hereafter look
upon War Democrat as an Abolitonist,
aud, ruth TO tell, it is with a sensation OF
relief that We find The shuffiing time-server
and political hermaphrodite in his appro-
priaIe place.
10 various political campaigns, the De-
mocracy have been induced 10 league
themselves with those renegades who, de-
serting every principle of Democracy, have
i'm npudsa,ly appropriated It's name dlshon>
ored with prefix thai cancels It's virtue
and its meaning.
The alliance has in every case been pre-
judicial 10 Democratic interests. But this
las, bold play into The hands of our adveE-
saries cannot fail 10 snap in twain the last
feeble iink-and none ever existed that was
net due 10 a similarity oil names. The War
Democrats have paid homage to The great
evil that has brought misfortune upon the
land. and proslraiing themselves before The
Abolition idol, they have consumaied the
last ACT OF their apostacy.
We can show no cause why The unholy
nu2tials should not go on. Better that War
Democracy should be al once and forever
merged inlo AboIiiionism, to share it's for
tune for better or for worse, than polIule
The pure Democracy by questionable con
peclion. The Democracy have now 10
choice 5ni 10 throw off the incubus, and
follow the straightforward path traced by
the irDmuiabIe principles OF their party.

aud that the men who are taking care oi
them contract the disease from the horses,
and are aIso dying rapidly fifteen a

that something like a dozen colored men,

die daily from the horse disease. large
number OF these horses have been bough,
up by spectators, taken to various parts Of
the country and offered for sale. Buyers
should be careful. Several hotel keepers

QUERY.-The first, and even the second,
year OF the war volunteering was brisk
enough to furnish all the men necessary,
and if one then asked Wide-Awake or a
Union Lacquer why he did not enlist, his
reply would almost invariably be: 81 will
60 as soon as ! am needed" Everybody
is familiar with this TACT. The reply of
some would be 81 am ready as soon as
the government calls for my service" 9th
ers said If these copperheads won't go
when drafted, we will drive them NJ
Such were then the "stern resoves'' of
nearly all the "loyal )" but, alas how is it
now Draft upon draft has been made
the "service" of these patriots has been
needed the government has "called" for
them but still they are here, offering large
bounties, threatening inGiscrimiuately TO
tax the rich, he poor and the widow, 10
save themselves from The draft, and coaxing
liIle boys to go substitutes in their stead!
The query now arises, were lhese men
serious then. or can they be patriots now
In whatever light we view Them, they are,
as their practice shows, great hypocrites
and lily-livered patriots.
