We have not devoted much of our pa
per to politics Of late, thinking that the
inconsistencies OF the so-called Democrat
ic Party were too absurd and glaring to
deceive any thinking right minded man.
But it is a fact, that before the absurdities
Of their transactions can be shown up,
they must be seen in print; and thinking
it might be probable that some of the
rca ders of the CHRONICLE had not seen these
inconsistencies, we present few of them
for their careful perusal.
The editor of the Lacrosse Democrat,
NJ. NJ Pomeroy, is said to- be democrat,
it is believed that he votes the democratic
ticket, he publishes what is called dem
ocratic paper. He was sent to the dem
ocratic convention at Madison, and there
placed on a committee hich were to draft
resolutions, which when adopted by the
convention would fern the democratic
platform That committee appointed him
scribe, and be drafted and penned the res
o.utions which now form the platform Of
the democratic party of this State. Now,
seeing that this man Pomeroy Is such q
prominent man, let us see who he is, and
what bis record is.
In 1868 he was in the army, down in
| Arkansas, and such was his conduct, that
Gen. Prentiss was obliged to dismiss him,
which he did in the following explicit
words.
"Said IT. M Ponaeroy is hereby ordered
to leave the lines of this army immediate
ly, and not to return under p naJty ct ar
rest as SPY
As this man Pomeroy publishes lead
ing len ,cratic pap,r, few ext acts from
| that sheet would be to the point.
"No one can blame the rebels greatly for
wreaking vengeance on the black troops.
| Tie quicker the negroes AND THE WHITE
MEN soho haze no nsore se!trespect than to
accept commissions IN niger regiments, are
killed eff, THE BETTER it will be for all
parties. 4 4 If the rebels
must be butchers, so long as they conJfne
| their operations to the blacks an arms, WE
HAVE NOTHING TO SAY."-La Crosse
Democrat, on the Fort PilIOw massacre,
April, 1864.
"Lincoln IS a traitor and q murde; er. =;
| And If he Is elected, to mlsgovern for an
other four years, WE TRUST SOME
BOLD HAND WILL PIERCE HIS
HEART WITH A DAGGER POINT FOR
THE PUBLIC GOOD.-I6. August 1864.
"Whe G is lincoln the patron saint Of
niggerism, acho oaces so mach to John Wilhes
Booth, and aoAo is sceIl-nigh forgotten al
ready, achile hardly dozen III the land re-
cere las memory? 3
eve depreciate assassination, yet we
feel to thank G d for calling Lincoln home,
rheYeecer that home mag be. the will OF
God be done on calt tn as it is in Heaven
"Lincozn has gone. Booth has gone. The
nation aoept, AND YET FOR WHAT IT DID Not
THE Sentinel says that last fall we made
the motion to kill Lincoln. Granted. And
last spring GoD seconded it, and through
Booth put the motion and carried it. What
next ?''-La Crosse Democrat.
The above we know only illustrates the
treasonable conduct and writings of one
man, but it shows the inconsistency Of the
party in allowing such men to WELD such
an influence, and take such an active part
in their conventions. There are many
others in that party which are just as bad,
but it will not pay to fill up the whole pa
per with articles illustrating the treasona-
BILE conduct of leading copperheads, suf.
fee it to say that Brick Pomeroy is q
specimen brick.
