Columbia democrat and star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1867, 1866-08-01
charge !! Democrats. Charge!

with bold front, for we have done no wrong,
let us charge upon the fanatical element of
our country the history it has made.
l. Shoulder 10 ,houIder-
| Hearts firm. strong and tru
We never will be conquered
BY a Union hating crew
Would to God that some man with the
eloquence of inspiration might now step forth
to rivet home upon the abolitionists of the
land the nails they drove through our nation
al wainscoating and paint the tragic history
of negroism as we have seen it through
years of bloody suffe1ing, and dark hours for
the Republic.
Who are the traitors
Who are the original disunionists?
! Who are now making war upon the Gov
ernment?
| Who are insulting a fallen foe?
| Who are they who trife with the destimes
of God-given America, and seek to cloy their
! fendish hate on the mangled corpse of an at
tempted Confederacy?
Who are the ones who stand up in the
Rump Congress and insult the soldiers who
| fought the rebellion back to its lair, by say
ing the Union is not restored, and that en-
becile gutter-snipe legislation can do what
the prowess of American soldiers failed to
accomplish.
Let these questions be asked of those who
wallow with the rump Congress in its trea-
sonable infamy rather than stand like men
by the President in support of the right
Let us stand true to the sacred principles
of Democracy, and charge home upon this
fanatical element, which is at war with the
Union, that the only traitors now existing
are the fanatical members of the rump Con-
gress and place hunters whoindorse their in
famous acts.
Charge home upon the element which is
opposing the country that they sought first
and last to divide the Union, and but for the
Democracy Of the North would have sue
ceeded.
These men sought To-
Break up the Union.
To make the South and North hate each
other
They warred upon the Constitution.
They ignored laws.
They broke their oaths of Office
They perjured themselves before God and
man.
They meddled with that which concerned
them not
They trampled the laws under foot
They elected tyranfs and towards to Office.
They detiled a patriotic army with dishon-
est Generals
They turned a war of patriotism into
crusade of plunder.
They put innocent men into prison and
guilty men in Office.
They sacrificed thousands of brave men
on the alter of diabohsm end military incom-
potency.
They took nep and money from the peo-
pie under False pretences.
They Killed our men, destroyed our prop
erty, "ild squandered the money we furnished
thin
Iney mobbed' people for opinion sake
They murdered people in cold blood here
in the North for speaking their honest belief
They have stolen Of the poor
They have protected the rich
They have lied to the nation and in drum
ken glee danced on the coffin lid of their
country till the corpse has been awakened to
a new life, and life that will deal in ven
geance most terrible if the murderous dance
be not stopped at once.
They have draped the land in mourning,
populated deep grave yards, made prostitutes,
piled billions of taxes upon the working men,
filed the pockets Ofrich men with bonds ex-
empt from taxation, and now faunt the
scheme of their cowaldly insolence In the face
of a people that fought while our rulers riot
ed in drunkenness, that died on battle fields
while our rulers were stufing ballot boxes in
the North
Let these crimes and others we have not
room to mention, be charged home upon the
element now at war upon the President, and
upon the honest industry Of the country
North and South.
Democrats have not broken laws, ignored |
oaths of Office, and made seive of the Con-
stitution, through which to thrut negroes,
political Generals, army contracts and dishon-
est legislation.
Democrats have made no war upon the
Constitution, nor have they told smutty sto-
ries in the White House over the whitening
victims of their hate, while the vultures of
desolation were howiing and Tapping their
wings over the country red with blood-bro-
ken hearted and staggering with grief
Let these things be charged home to those |
who rode into power shouting
Free Speech!
Free Press
Free Kansas
Retrenchment and Reformi
How about Free Speech?
And Free Pressl
And Free People?
And how do you like the arithmetical IL |
lustrations of the Black Republican retrench- |
ment and reform
Black Republicanism forced us into war
to free negroes from happy slavery, and let |
them rot in military camps, or be pensioners
upon US byenormous taxation. The negroes |
are worse off to-day than ever before.
The country is worse off to-day than it
ever was before.
Our debts are thousand times greater than
ever before
Our ability to pay is less than ever be-
fore.
There is more mourning and wickedness |
in the land now than ever before
How do you like the workingof Abolition
ism.
Answer, and tell lis, ye once happy and |
prosperous workingmen, towhom we are now |
talking through the pen.
Tell US, farmers, mechanics, sons of the |
forests, men of toll, and brother victims of |
