How De m &C rats would End the War.
An abolition contemporary charges that
the Democracy constantly oppose the ad.
ministration and the war, and vet never
suggest any remedy for existing evils 1t
wishes to know what that party would do
if it bad the power-whether it would stop
the war, recognize the Coniederacy, or
continue the conflict.
We think We are safe in asserting that,
although there are various aud diverse
opinions held by conservative men on the
question Of the war aud ito settlement,
there is, in reality, no disagreement upon
radical points. While Democrats may
dider as to the means, they are unanimous
as to the end; and that end is an undi.
vided country. Upon this one thing Dem.
ocrats are agreed; in this respect there is
no division Of thought, no diversity Of &C.
ton. OF this fact there can be no dispute !;
nor, at the same tiue, do We think there
is any doubt as to-she means which the
Democratic party would favor 10 accom-
plish this result
Its believed BY conservative men that
the prime cause which induced the aeces.
sion Of the South was the aggression of
the anti. slavery party, which finally cul.
minated in the accession Of that party TO
power. 1t came into possession of the
government with avowed hostility to the
South, with professions Of disregard for
the Constitution, which it termed . cove.
nant With hell, and Of obedience to the
promptings Of pseudo philanthropy under
the guise Of higher law" Giving cre-
dence to the years Of teachings and of
threats INDUCED in by this party, the South
deemed its safety endangered, and without
waiting for IN over. act OF the new ad-
minis,ration, it plunged into secession
knowing this state Of things, Democrats
believed that the first step TO bring thG(
South back to its allegiance should b.
dispossess the present party Of powel
This is the very FIRST step necessal
Sestore the Union, which Democrat
lieve in, and is to-day o leading prime
in the policies of all conservative men.
They believe that at the moment when
this government shall be administered By
national men, and not by faction gov.
erning the country through the aid and
for the benefit Of New Ens gland, then will
the resistance Of the South cease. 49,.
In detail, the policy OF the Democracy,
after gaining possession Of the Govern.
ment, and thus removing the cause Of the
secession Of the South, would be to rene.
dy one BY one the grievances inaugurated
BY the Republican administration, and
against Which the South is fighting. They
would offer the South the Constitution, and
with it guarantee that for ell time the
rights Of the States under that Cons,itu-
ton should be preserved inyiolale.
This would be victory over the rebel
lion more potent than dozen Richmonds
or the slaughter Of an.hundred lhousand
rebels in arms.
What is the South Sighting today? It
is confscation, the division or their land
among negroes; against determination;
against the elevation Of an inferior race
to equality sgainst the agyressions OF
power than has awaited itself Of 1 couven.

ton of the South and its Institutions
Democrats would remove at once oil these
causes, and leave tho South nothing TO
fight for. With nothing to complain Of,
with no grievances TO be redressed. would
