DANIEL O'CONELL ON DEMO
...-. CRACY. ...


The Catholic Telegraph Of Cincinna,
ii, publishes an eloquent and earnest
appeal from the pen of the great Irish
Orator, Daniel O'Connell, to the Irish
men of America, addressed to the Irish
Repeal Association Of Cincinnati, in
1913. In this burning and timely ad-
dress, showing the influence Of slave
ry upon the Irishmen of the United
States, he makes the bold and true de-
claration that,
"The spirit of democratic liberty is
defiled by the continuance of negro
slavery in the United States" T
The Great Commoner never spoke
a truer word. Slavery is anti-demo-
cratic, because it is war on the inter-
ests and rights of the workingman.
Because it is q system which holds
to the buying and selling ofthe laborer.
Because it holds to the doctrine that
"Capitdl shall own Labor"
Because it gives to the laborer no
choice of the market where he shall
sell his labor. ..
Because it is an aristocratic system,
and the great enemy Of Democracy.
Because it has endeavored to con.
troll all the otheI interests of the 60
vernment. . .'
Because it. has aimed to destroy the
principles of Free Labor, and build up
government founded on slave labor,
and
Because it has defiled the Democra-
tic Party, which once advocated Free
dom, and is now the advocate and de-
fender Of slavery. ... ...
Irishmen! hear what Daniel O'Con-
nell says -.
ave cali upon you in the sacred
name of humanity, never again to
volunteer on behalf Of the oppressor;
nor even for any self-interest TO vindi-
cate the hideous crime of slavery"
off you be Christians at all, recollect
that Slavery is opposed to the first, the
highest, and the greatest principles CT
Christianity, which teach US TO love
the great and good above all things
whatsoever, and the next to love our
fellow-man as ourselves which com
mands us TO do unto others as we
would be done by Those sacred prin
ciples are inconsistent with the hor-
rors and crimes of slavery; sacred
principles which have already Danish
ed domestic bondage from civilized
Europe, and which will also, in God S

A GREAT FRAUD.

The true object of Democratic insti
tutions is to promote the security hap
piness, freedom and prosperity of the
people, under government Of their
own framing, and under laws enacted
by the representatives of their own
choice. The government Of the United
States is Of this kind. ,.r r
Politicians, ambitious of place and
power, and who have for more than
thirty years plotted the overthrow Of
Democracy, have during all that time
been guilty ola great fraud ON the
Workingmen Of the country.
In the name of Democracy they have
secretly pledged themselves to over
throw the rights of the Democratic
masses. .....
In the name Of Democracy they have
ruled the country for nearly thirty
years, for the purpose Of building up
an aristocracy who should maintain
their power by virtue of their peculiar
property. ...... ..... a.
In the name of Democracy they
have attempted to make property in
workingmen-which is the most anti.
democratic kind ofproperty-the great
object of legislation, to the neglect o.
the other interests Of the country.
In the name Of Democracy they
have endeavored to shut out free work
ingmen from the South, and from the
territories, by making slave labor pro.
fitable, and free labor improbable and
disgracefii. ..- .r
In the name Of Democracy theyhave
held high positions in the gift Of the
people, which they used only to betray
and sacrifice those who trusted them.
In the name of Democracy they
broke Up the Democratic Party, in or
der to prepare the way for the carry
out Of their plans.
And now, when traitors have filled
the land with bloody graves and desc.
late homes, there are politicians who
call themselves Democrats" who are
the enemies Of Workingmen under the
pretence of being their friends.
In the name of Democracy they are
advocating a dissolution of the Union.
In tho name OF Democracy they de.
clare that the American Union is not
Union but Confedercy.
In the name Of Democracy they ad-
vocate the interests oftraitors who hate
freedom, and who believe that Slavery
is the true condition Of all Labor.
In the name Of Democracy they de-
clare the government has no right to
defend itself against traitors.
In the name of Democracy they have
stirred up the laboring men and have
filled the streets Of New York with
bloodshed, arson, and riots, and have
disgraced us in the eyes of the world.
In the name af Democracy they de-
nounce the heroic soldiers of the Union
as "BULL DOGS and HE'LL HOUNDS" who
are engaged in murder and arson, and
not in a noble effort to save our demo
cratic institutions from destruction,

WORKINGMAN's PLACARDs.

During the height of the riots of
July, 1868, an unknown writer pub
lished a series of placards, which were
literally posted from the Battery to
Harlem River and were signed "a DE-
MoCRATIo WoRKINGSiAN." These pla.
cards attracted universal attention, and
exerted a deep and long to be remem-
bered influence on popular opinion.
With a good deal of pains taking we
have collected complete series,
which we publish for their historical
interest, as well as their appropriate
ness to our work. .- ..
TO THE LABORING MEN OF
NEW YORK.
COMRADES = ...
Do you want to pay heavy taxes?
Do you want to suffer loss and ruin?
Do you want to be trampled under
foot by ambitious demagogues?
Do you want to have your homes
flied with sorrow, and your eyes run
over with tears? ....l
Ifnot, then stop and think.
The property destroyed by riot
must be paid tor by tho city, and in
this way every act of disorder, vio-
lence and house burning, is only laying
heavier taxes on our own shoulders.
Every disorderly act that is done
only calls for greater expenses on the
part of the city government. The Unit
cd States does not pay the damages,
but the City of New York alone. OF
course all the disturbances, losses and
damages only fall upon our o,cn heads.
Comrades! Stand by the law! Stand
by good order and good sense, and you
will find it good policy. If any law is
bad, let it be settled by the courts in a
proper form. Do not listen to bad
men who arc only leading you to your
ruin. .......
The politicians and business men Of
New York must stand by the law and
the Constitution. II is cheaper ana
better to stand By the la1, for when the
law is broken and property destroyed
and lives lost, we all suffer more OF
less by the injury.
Comrades! In the name Of God
in the name of our wives and children
in the name of everything that is
dear to us-Stop ard think. ..
Stand up as Democratic Working.
men should stand up before the world
and show the traitors of the South, and
the friends of tyranny all over the
world, that the Wor&ta9mea of Neu
York are able to govern themselves.
Stand by the Union, the Constitution
and the laws Then Peace, freedom
and prosperity will be secure to you
and your children after you. ,r
Keep honestly at your work! Give
no heed to bad advice. Any man that
advises you to break the law is youi
fepemy, and the enemy of your wives
and children. These troubles will
make the tiwes only the worse for ut
all. High prices, heavier rents, and
heavier taxes. So. :.

AN ABoLITIoN TRAITOR.

/. There are traitors in the North as
well rs in the South, and there are
aboRtionists in the South as well as in
the North. Some of the Southern alb
olitionists have strange views in re-
gard to slavery and its abolition
Among the rest, the distinguished son
of Georgia, Hon. Rob't Toombs, holds
q prominent place. His views are
clearly stated in the following extract
from one of his speeches on abolition.
In speaking of the negro, he said
ellis condition is not permanent
among us, and we may find his exc
dus in the unvarying laws of popula-
ton. Under the conditions OF labor
in England, and the continent of Eu-
rope, slavery could not exist here or
anywhere else..-TAe moment uageS de-
scend to point barely sufficient to sup
port the ldLorer and his family, capital
cannot afford TO o,on labor, and SldUery
instantly ceases. Slavery ceased in
England in obedience to this law, and
not from any regard to liberty or hu-
manity. The increase of population
will produce the same result in this
country, and American slavery, like
that Of England, will find its euthana-
sy (death) in the general prostration Of
all labor" ....lt l.... .-
Mr.. Toombs believes that slavery
will die out, when the wages of white
working-men are run down so low
that capital cannot afford to o,rn labor
in other words, when the free white
workingmen are reduced to the same
level as negro slaves, then the negroes
will be set free. We must make white
men and their families as cheap as ne
gro slaves! Workingmen! How do
you like the prospect held out to you ?
Another traitor, the Richmond En-
quirer, in an article showing the supe-
fiority of "TuE NIGER" over white
men, says
"Free society is monstrous abor-
tion, and slavery, thebeautifnl, healthy
and natural state of being which they
(the South) are trying to adopt,
"The slaves are governed far better
than the free laborers of the North
Our Slares are not only better off as to
physical comfort, than free laborers, but
their moral condition is better.
These are tho sentiments advocated
by men who are doing their utmost to
destroy the Union, overthrow the in
stitutions of popular freedom, and re-
duce free white workingmen to the
same political, social, and moral condi-
tion as their slaves.
Will the workingmen of the Union
help them any longer?

FRFEDoM or RELIGION.

The Bill of Rights and the Constitution of North
Carolina, and the Constitution of the United States,
all expressly stpuate for the right Of all persons
to worship Almighty God according to the die
tates of their own consciences and against any re-
striction whatever upon religious matters. Per-
haps no principle is more deeply rooted in the
minds of the American people than this, and the
people of the Confederate States at least will be
as slow to give up this as any other single right
of a free people. Even Lincoln was aware of the
tenacity With which il would be maintained, for it
is not long since be wrote as follows:
s.The United States government must not by this
order fan unauthorized order of of his Generals
undertake TO run the churches When an individual,
in church out off, becomes dangerous to the pub
lie interest," he must be checked but the churches as
such must take of themselves 1t will not do for
the United States to appoint trustees, superlors or
other agents for the churches"
Such aoas Lincoln's opinion. But, as in the
case of negro emancipation, be has changed, and
now allows his Secretary Of War, Stanton, to ap-
poiut Northern Baptist Minister to take posses
sion of all the Baptist churches in such parts Of
the Southern States as the yankees hold. and

churches to displace the Ministers selected by the

to the public, will relate singular phenomenon
I saw on the sun on Saturday evening, the 10th

sun was unusually red ; in few minutes discov-
cred two dark-red streaks running North and
South. In very short time dark spot appeared
on the bottom of the suns disk, which grew larger
and as it assembled up through the centre, il had
the appearance of lions head and name. About
the time it reached the centre, another appeared
on the left or South, which grew more rapidly,
and soon drove the first out through the North
western corner; after both had dbsp Peared black
streak entered, passing through due North and
South, which did not fade until the sun had dis
appeared behind the Western hills. The above
can be vouched for by my brother as we'll as my
