81 The Observation-Disclosures reanima-
tioa Of the late Democratic party-with
, yieu 10 national success in the next
Presidential election, and thus by Its
agency, to bring about the desired separa-
lion Of the states and southern independ-
ence with the concurrence of Congress
and Of the administration. This at the
first glance IS hopeless undcrtaking-but
a review of the politics of the nation,
from its early history down, may lead Us
70 rank it among the possible events of the
future The name Democracy has al
ways had peculiar charm in the ear of
the American people, and the party which
has bv the worst misnomers styled itself
Democrotic-can point to many popu' ar
trumphs in our political history, 70 give
prestage to future success-so organized
it can command all the money it may
need or possibly use-not only from do
nestle but from foreign parties and who
shall say-that money is not an all power
CuI element in elections?
OF course the managers Of this thing
would not be so foolish as to announce their
real purpose to the world The pill would

be seized hold Of as if by divine right and

its fallacv-but still, it fattcrs state pride,
has vet many able advocates and may

our rulers thus indoctrina ed, the great
end OF the malcontents could readily be

up 10 anarchy and irretrievable ruin

Those being the ends sought by the

lst Let US infict capital punishment
upon or Danish from the country all the
prominent leaders Of the rebellion and
confscate all Of their goods AMI estates
without mercy. For all other offenders
let them be thoroughly disarmed, and be
content to live as a subiucatcd people
under the strictest rule of military
authority, with a standing army among
them sufficiently strong to enforce all the
military orders Of the government and
all the police regulations of the local com
mands Two or three years Of such pro-

let this rule be enforced till they shall
learn to respect the authority of the Ma
tionaI Government and until the Govern-
mcnt shall see fit to restore to them their
last civil rights

in all the states, and strike out of all the
constitutions and laws, every thug which
