Democratic Patriotism .

IL il a remarkable fact that despite the con
tumely that has been put upon the Democratic
party of this State-despite the wrong they have
suffered from the national and State admnstra-
tions-despite the opprobrous epithets Of trail
tors, copperheads and rebels which have been
showered upon them-despite The facts that many
of them have been mObbed their property de-
stroyed and themselves incarcerated in dungeons
and bastiles for mOnths-afteT the most careful
investigation and scrutiny, after raking the State
all over for witnesses, after the employment Of
hundreds of paid pmps and spies, the offer of
pardon to those who would swear to please them
a1d the attempt 10 Brighten others into perjury.
only four men out of l3l 900 Democrats in the
State of Indiana have been implicated in any un
lawful designs against the government History
offers no parallel to such ease this Ii is
the highest and the clearest proof that coald be
furnished Of the patriotism and fidelity of the
Democratic people 10 the Constitution aud laws
of the country.
There are bad men in all parties and all or
CARNATIONS. and il is indeed most strange that
out OF l3l 900 Democrats in Indiana. comprising
all grades of society and every species of charac
tiers, smarting too, under the wrongs practiced
upon them and the reproaches md contumey
that have been literally showered upon their
heads. only four can be found who, in any man
ner thought or dreamed of resistance to the con-
stituted authorities. and as soon our leading
men learned of their design they al once and un-
hesitatingly compelled them to desist Ii this
don't furnish the most striking and convincing
evidence of the patriotism and loyalty of the
Democratic party, then we don't know what il
takes to constitute patriotism Evansville Times
Radical German view OF LINCOLN.
The Boston Pioneer, (late Fremont org n }
thus refers to the political situation:
The Republican, or rather the Lincoln party
may be divided into those who have created the
necessary evil" Lincoln, and into those who
have accepted this evil The former-tbe cor
ruptionists office holders, contractors, office hunt
ers, lackeys, &c-bave created the "necessary
evil" Lincoln, because he is incompetent and
bad; the latter have accepted him, although he
is Incompetent and bad The former have Meth
er principles nor convictions the latter have al
fenced principles and convictions. The latter
class may be again divided into those who sup
port Lincoln from party considerations, and those
who support him because they fear Mcclellan.
To prostitute ones self may be excusable by
the object, but whosoever prostitutes himself
without disgust betrays his love por prostitution.
Judith at least cut Hooernes head off. after
having given herself up to the hated one from
patriotism. No man who has his FIVE senses will
entertain the hope that the Lincoln of the second
term will be better than the Lincoln Of the hr,t
term. He will be on the contrary. worse in all
respects ThurlOw " eed. Seward. and that
whole traitor band OF which Lincoln il the chief
