When on that day, the nation, trampling into the dust the Dpmocratics conspirators who sought its life, solemnly declared that itawould live and not dle, then, at last, it became certain that the Republic conld not perish, The decision then pronounced has assured us, and assured the world. that whatever disaster may befall us in the progress of the Revolution, the Ameri-. can people will uphold their Nationality, will preserve their National unity. and yill never give up one inch of their Nationsf territory, h E But although these things are assured. the revolution iis not over. The Deu1ocEatic party. under the sarne leaders who led it into revolt, still keeps up its bloody struggle at the South. and still maintains it's political warfare at the North. i And until the Democratic party shall be paralyzed throughout the North. as well as throughout the South, there can be uo absolute security to the Republic. a445 a.A.o. tas h speaking the truth plainly, we intend no bitter denunciation of the niasaes ofthe Demo. cratic party That its leaders at the South are wicked and cruel traitors, the. slaughter pens of. Andersonville, Salisbury and Florence aiarrihly testify. That its leaders as tue North have been from the beginning 0f the ssbellion. and now, in tull sympathy with their Southern confedsratss, who have murdered 90 many helpless Northeru lsoldisrs in those horrible prisons, is equally tras.e But the masses of that party, North and South, simply follow their leaders. The party. as party. aith rebellious and reasonable. td0es not choose treason and rebellion iatelliasntly. The lead CTS. however cruel at tho South, however seI. vile at the North. are not all cruel or servile from choice..iii 1ol ss'929s5 sSiHoF5 zs S:8a q
 Leaders and followers, like the leaders and followers in all other parties. ars simply strug giing for the advancement of the ideas of their party Thus the Democratic party, like all other parties, is lighting for it's ideas. Those ideas being essentially revolntionary and an- archial, have produced rebellion, Wherever the Democratic party exists, there the spirit of rebellion exists. At the Southeit uses bayo- nets, satthe North it uses bsilots occasion ally resorting (as it did under the friendly su- pervision of one of the Seymours in the city of New Yoik] to the knife and dtbe fre-btand. It will cling to these ideas until it diss.s The time has therefore come for it to die-since, having involved great nation in the most bloody and wicked of civil wars, those ideas have become hateful to mankind. ej.2 ;-d' a-ei ,sSs79a T so The Democratic party asserts that the Amefi- can people are not nation. 0fj3.4Ls

 Through political necessity, perhaps, rather than inate deprayity, the Democratic party has also been led 50 adopt, the doctrine that the laborer ought to be the slave of bis employer. The. Democratic party has undertaken, ct last, to put its doctrines into practice, and we are reaping it's results.
