Latter-Day Democracy-No. g.
The Democrats arc again playing
their old game, making fearful exag-
gerations in their public journals, fire.
quently amounting TO out-and-out
faretood,- when telling oftheirspeech-
es and meetings and their general pros
perity; also by much harping on weak
points, which certainly, in the mind
of any sensible man, can amount to
nothing. This can he accounted for
In no otherway than that their party,
as whole, embraces superabundancc
of. igrorrnce, which is susceptible to
the training of designing politicians,
whot take advantage of it to gain pow
er. Notice one point that was made
i'm the Philadelphia Convention, the
remarkable event of the South Caro-
lima delegates and those of Massachu-
sets coming in arm-ia-arm. This
wonderfully impressive scene has been
trumpeted by every Democratic paper
throughout the land; and even the
President, in his sober moments, could
not but feel that suSh scene would be
sufficient to movea nation to tears.
And so deep was his emotion, and he
was so much overcome that he could
net finish reading the dispatch ! Since
the days OF Judas, has there been
known such hypocracy? What is
there so stril<ingly impressive about
the event Of a Southern rebel and a
Northern eopperhead entering Con-
vention composed OF such men? This
certainly is nothing strange to those
who have watched the movements OF
the Democratic party for the past six
wears. The men who assembled III
Philadelphia, on tho 1lth of August,
and the men who, according with the
Executive programme, marched into
the Convention arm-in-arm, are sim
ply representative men of two classes
who have been cndeavoring to destroy
the life Of the Nation, or rule, fOr
many years past.
Within the last six years, these men
have been arm-in-arm i'm every State
in the Union in midnight assembling

arm at Chicago, i'll 1864, when they
declared the war failure, and labored
to inauguratc n policy to protract the
war, and finally end in the Nations
dishonOr, if not utter ruin. They are
arm -in-arm to-day all over the land
striving to get the government bacl
into their own hands, so that they may
repeal all laws that are obnoxious II
the peculiar institutions anal tastes o
the South. And az President Johnso,
has declared, and persists in his opin

and is not within the limits of th'
Constitution when they are maxim:

succeed in getting into power, that it

Who can estimate the fatal result
that must certainly follow, If the Coy
ernment- shall now pass into the hand
Of the rebels South and the Copper
heads North? What hope can W
have for the future welfare of ou
MANNED soldicry, and soldiers widow
and orphans? Would any appropria

II be supposed that such Congres
, will repudiate the rebel debt?- Or il
not more likely that they will rend'

In short: who can doubt but that if
