armed conspiracies, as in Indiana,
were gotten up by the Democratic
leaders, in order to inaugurate war
in the North, and give aid te Southern
rebels by the bayonets In the hands OF
Northern traitors.
This was the department of the
Democratic party daring the war.
How has it conducted itself since the
conclusion of the war? Has it ex-
hibited any more patriotic or more
loyal sentiments than before2 Has
the party that sympathized and con-
spired with the common foe of the
country reformed? Has it any more
love for order and law? Certainly
aotl On the contrary, it is now worse
than ever. Itnow openly and direct
ly counsels insurrection, treason, an
archy, and usurpation. Its newspa-
pers are the guides that the rebel
press of the South follow. Its propo-
sitions aim at nothing less than NO
lent subversion of our system of gov
eminent. The President is called
upon to convoke a Congress composed
of Southern rebels and Northern Cop
perheads. The legitimate Congress
is to be dispersed by bayonets.

a coup q etat against it. Demo-
cratic Senators, like Salisbury, of
Delaware, openly preach resistance to
the laws, or declare themselves, like
Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, as enc
mics to the country. Democratic pa
pers, like the Enquirer, speak with the
profoundest respect of JEFF. Davis, as
the representative of ten millions of
people" and declare it wrong and
criminal to keep him captive any long
er. In short, everything that is dis
loyal; everything that, during the
war, sympathized with the enemies of
the nation; everything that tramples
on law and order, and incites to insur
rection and usurpation, is to be found
in the Democratic party 1t is the
party of lawlessness,. of anar@hy, of
coup d etdt, and of civil war; and it is
the duty of every one who does not
want to see the country precipitated
into bloody abyss, to oppose and de-
feat that party.
Let us hope that especially our Ger

eyes, and abandon a party that has
practiced a deception upon the princi-
pies of It's honest adherents.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
At'the time when the Southern re-
bellion might have been nipped In the
bud, it was the Democratic party. act
ing through its President and Cahi-'
net, and through its organs and ora
tors, that aided and abetted the rebel
lion to its utmost capacity. James
Buchanan declared that the Govern
ment had no constitutional rightfto
coerce State to remain in the Union.
and his Ministers did their best to de-
prive the Government of the means to.
carry out coercive measures, by send
ing our little feet to distant seas, bar
ring our forts and arsenals of gar
risons, and giving our best military
bodies, as, for instance, the troops
under General Twiggs, in Texas, up
to the mercies of the enemy. ~ V''a
To a Democratic administration it
is owing. therefore, that the mischief
was not prevented when it was still
time. The Administration of the
Democrat, james Buchanan, is NOR.
ally responsible for all the blood that
has flowed during the long civil war.
BY energetic action toward the traitors
in South Carolina, the execution Of
the crime might have been 0byiated in
a single blow. And if South Carolina
had not set the example, the other
Southern States would not have Sc
ceded. Nay, we assert that the South
ern traitors would never have made
the attempt to sever the Union, had
they not been sure of the active and
passive cooperation of James Ru-
chanan and his Cabinet
Such, then, was the position Of the
Democratic party before the war
During the war that party left no
means untried to make it an unsuc-
cessful one. Democratic members of
Congress voted against measures and
appropriations necessary to the prose-
cution of the war Democratic sneak
ers and papers endeavored to discour-
age enlistments, and melted the peo-
pIe to forcible resistance to the neces.
sary conscription laws. Democratic
nartv leaders openly declared their
sympathy for the South, styled the
war for the sacred cause of the peo-
ple an unconstitutional and criminal
one. and never grew tired of demand
| ing an. instant cessation of hostilities.
| Instead of crushing the rebellion, the
Democratic party wanted to negotiate
! with, and make new concessions to
armed traitors; and, to remove all
doubt of its reasonable tendencies
and hostility to the Union, it declared,
in its Chicago National Platform, that
the war was failure, and the plan to
restore the Union by dint of arms
] impossible of execution. Yes, even

ter idea of their actions than to quote
Catlin's description of the appearance
OF the first steamboat among the ma
tives of the Upper Missouri IN 1868.
, If anything did ever literally
astonish (and astound) the natives, it
was the appearance of our steamer,
and rushing by their villages, which
were on the banks of the river. These
poor and ignorant people, for the dis
lance of two thousand miles, had
never before seen or heard of a steam
boat, and in some places they seemed
at loss to know what to do or how
to act; they could not, as the Dutch
did at Newburgh, on the Hudson
river, take it to be floating saw
mill, " and they had no name for it, so
it was like everything else with
them) which is mysterious and
understandable, called medicine (mys-

and at the approach to every village

inhabitants into utter confusion and
amazement. Some of them laid their
faces to the ground, and cried to the
Great Spirit; some shot their horses
and dogs, and sacrificed them to the
Great Spirit, whom they conceived
they had offended some deserted
their villages and ran. to the top of
the bluff, some miles distant; and
others, in some places, as the boat
landed in front of their villages, came
with great caution and peeped over
the bank of The river to see the fate
of their chiefs, whose duty it was
from the nature of their ofice) to
approach us, whether friends or foes,
and to go on board Sometimes, in
this plight, they were instantly thrown,
neck and heels, over each others
heads and shoulders-men, women,
children, and dogs sage, sachem, old
and young-all in a mass, at the
frightful discharge of steam from the
escape pipe, which the captain of the
boat let loose upon them for his own
fun and amusement. There are many
curious comectures among their wise
men with regard to the nature and
powers of the steamboat. Among the
Mandans some call it the Big Thun-
der Canoe for they see in the dis
lance the lightning fash from its
sides, and hear the deep roll of the
thunder. Others call it the Big

cannot understand it; and it must
have eyes, they say, for it sees it's own

the man in the glass house at the
top of the boat.'1s kaEe HHfE Wge

atty of democratic rule, and portion
of that which he leaves behind must go
into this democratic vortex.
Generation after generation Will car
ry this democratic burden from birth
to death. Like the original divine
curse, it will be felt IN the sweat ofthe
brow of the laborer and in the travail
OF woman, and in swallowing up pOr-
tiou of the earth's productions for all
tune. But for the democraticA party
our people would hardly have known
the nature of taxation. But for it the
hundreds of thousands of young men
whose bones are strewn over the South
would now be productive 1aborers and
the support and comfort OF families
now desolate. No one will attempt to
deny all this Indictment. No one will
pretend that the democratic party had
any cause for rebellion. Yet IL has the
stfrontery to cry over the burdens OF
taxation. And as the father of the
democratic party, when he had stripped
Job OF family and possessions, charged
1t to his own sins, and sought 10 draw
him from his integrity, so his democrat
ic sons now come forward with equal
effrontery and charge their doings up
on the loyal people, and hypOcritically
howl over their affltctiuns, and seek to
seduce them from their integrity, to
elect to power the party that hns brought
all these woes upon the land.
