I'hc VI INC Vi DlOQu, treason AMI plumber
is over with, and into the earth and in
tclligcntiaw loving Constitution defend.
ing people arc grinding to powder the
element that mcdllcd will, that which
concerned them nut--dcticl the LAWN.
suited their bretrcn--robJcl those they
owed 50 much to---basrhcmcd Cod
wrongcd men and ticklcd the victim Of
their cowarjicc with bayoncts pointed
with hate.
We stood by the laws when to stand
there was to snap your fingers under the
nose Of death.
Thousands of brave men in the coun.
try stood by the Constitution III the dark
hours, full Of hope in the future, which
is now opening So bright for the people
SO full Of terrible retrbution for the Ii.
ars, thieves, knavcs, swindlcrs, fanatics,
traitors, usurpcrs, bigots, abolitionists and
workers Of ruin, who have so long stood
beneath the altar and baptized US in in.
noccnt blood!
1t is very still now.
Men who ran ahead Of the storm and
Joined the republican party for Office like
rats, dcscr!ins sinking ship, arc now
padding back to join the democratic par.
ty, which is soon to be the party Of the
nation. So,hc arc holding by the tail
fast to Congress, and reaching with fore
paws to the johnson platform, reaching
and stretching for pay and patronage.
Soldiers do notmob Democrats ON their
return from the war, as they have learn.
cd that democrats arc their best friends.
Office holders are too busy hunting for
strippings now to kick at those who pass
by. Some Of them think Congress is the
winning horse, and they bet On Congress
and the nisgcr.
Others think johnson will come out
ahead, so they endorse johnson and the
white man, swallow all they have said
about democrats, throw themselves on
the bosom Of "coppcrhcadism' and suck
away for the patronage republicans arc
ready to fight, lie and steal for, and that
democrats can do without.
Most wo llrous still.
The shouller.strappcd officers of the
late war have mostly skunk back to their
corner groceries or beer saloons, or to
whiskcy rcddlins at the polls. They
came and went as scavcnger's nj ;lt cart
passes by the door. They stru,,c,! aid
died. They left the generals Of the rev.
o!utionary more great, loved and siori
GUS than cycr-morc honorcl in their
histories and characters. The latter day
officers arc mostly remembered as We re.
member Captain Kidd, Sixteen String
Jack; Dick Turpin, Ben. Butler, and 9th.
cr celebrated thieves of ancient and mod
crn times. There arc few honorcd cx-
ccptions, but alas too few to save Cur
reputation in Il national point Of vicw.
There a'c at home, wrecks Of their for
MGR selves, honest officers, who never
stole from n dcfcnsclcss foe, nor forsook
the faith of,hcir fathers for gain or in
sigma of Office , but tlrcy are tlrc cxcop.
tions which make the rule.
And while it is so, still let the work Of
conversion go steadily on. Democracy is
again ON the asccndcncy. The star Of
hope has again arisen III the cast. We
have a statesman for President. Wo
have man of broad views, of clear brain,
Of Union loving sentiments, Of nerve; q
man who is a friend of laws, the people
and the Constitution. The days Of low
wit, buifooucry story telling, tyranny,
usurpations, military dcspotisa and III
tolerant prescriptions, arc passed forever,
FOR the people Of America will have no
such suicidal, murdcrous foolishness.-
The lessons Of the past have been too
dear for US all. And now is the time to
think Of these things-to figure up which
cost tho country the most, Democracy
=, and peace, or Rcrublicanism and rum,
war, robbery and desolation. Look at
the record and sec for yourselves, broth.
or workingmcn Of America.
