Remens5er-That we had long and
bloody war costing thousands of mil
lions of dollars, hundreds ofthousands
of lives, and untold suffering, for all OF
which the Democratic party is respon-
sible
Remember-That Democrat made
the first threat of war,a Democrat stole
the first money, a Democrat stole the
first gun, a Democrat tore down the
first United States flag, a Democrat
fired the first shot, a Democrat was
President Of the SO called confederacy
a Democrat was it's Vice President,
Democrats commanded its armies,
Democrat fought its battles, Demo
Gratis apologized for the war, and now
Democrats have the brazen effrontery
to say that the whole contest was caus
ed by Republicans Was there ever
so much internal impudence displayed
by any party since the world began
as by this modern Democratic party !?
The nation is $4,000, 900, 900 in debt
for every dollar of which the Demo
cratic party is responsible. We are
taxed upon almost everything we eat,
or drink, or wear, and for every cent
of such taxes the Democratic party is
responsible. The taxes are caused by
the National Debt, the National Debt
was caused by the war, the war was
commenced and carried on by the Dem
ocratic party, therefore they are res
ponsible for every thing that grows
out Of the war. Let no one forget this
when his Democratic neighbor speaks
of high taxes.-Marion Independent,

Systematic Thieying.

1T has been discovered lately that
horse stealing has been reduced to a
system in Louisiana. and made profita-
BILE to the owner and the thief 1t
seems that the thief and the owner
make an. agreement as follows: The
thief to take the horse and after travel
ing some distance, to sell him, the own
er receiving one-half Of the purchase
money. The name ofthe person who
purchased the horse from the thief and
his place of residence are always given
to the owner. After little time the
owner claims his horse from the pur-
chaser and by this means sells his horse
and keeps him both. 49,,

Political.

J. The following is an extract from q
speech delivered before the A. Johnson
Club of Peoria, by w. w. O'Brien, the
leader of the Bread and Butter par
ty of that city. 1t tshows where John
sonism leads to: 't''1 aaia '.'s .n.
s'Does not America feel proud OF
such men as Johnston, Lee, Beaure-
gard, and hosts of others, whose deeds
Of valor have shed fresh lustre and inn
mortality on the profession of arms as
well as on the land that gave them
birth ? Should we fail to honor and
cherish as a part Of our own glory the
memory of such men as Stonewall Jack
son, and the hosts led on by him to
Immortality? No, God forbid! Their
fame shall llremain as the common prop
erty of the American people for all
time, pure and inyiolate."

The 's Services" of the Democratic
Party


Copperhead editors and orators are
just now indulging in great deal of
ilnpudent and silly twaddle about the
services Of the hate Democratic party,
and at the same time threatening to
precipitate this country into another
civil war should the people refuse to en-
dorse the invaluable services of this We
rv patriotic organization. Harper's
Weekly takes the wind out of the sails
of these pretenders in style that will
probably CRATE little harshly upon
the sensitiyely strung nerves of the mem
bers of this ''rule or RUM party
Hear it:
"What, then, are the services Of the
Democratic party for which it should
again be intrusted with the direction Of
the Government The history of thr-
ty years answers. Its service consists
iii having strengthened, by every ap-
peal to passion,i and coward
ice, the only aristocratic class in the
United States, and all afistoeracy found
ed upon the degradation Of labor It's
service consists in systematic de-
bauchery of the national conscience;
in fierce denial Of the fundamental
principle of the Republic-the equality
of rights; in an attempt, under the
forms Of law, and by means of blood
and terror, to fasten slavery upon Kan
sas and when the people, at last arous-
ed to the fearful truth, constitutional
ly cast that party from power, it's
crowning service consists in rushing
to arms, and seeking, by the mostdesper-
ate and prolonged struggle, to over
throw the Government. The Demo
cratic conspiracy against equality of
rights has been foiled both in the field
and at the polls, and now turns 10 th
American people, who have been it's
spectators and victims, and informs
them that it is the only safe and patri
otic and conservative and conciliatory
and Union-loving party in the land"

The closing scene of The Hous.


The closing scene of the House
is given in the Washington CORES
pondence of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial thus: "The night session of the
House, lasting till this morning, was
filed with disgusting scenes. Liquor
flowed pretty freely from several com
mittee rooms, and the result was fully
exhibited on the floor of the house. In
one instance, tellers were appointed
who were unable to stand in their pla-
ces, and the count they reported to the
House ran hundred over quorum,
Members voted early and often to make
it appear that quorum was present !;
jokes were retailed and stories told. A
dozen or so members, at one time, had
pitched battles with paper wads, books,
ETC., which were flung through the air
in the hall.
"At daylight this morning, one of
the members called on the reporters in
the gallery to come down and join in
the fun"

UNION STATE TICKET.
Reign of Terror i'm New Orleans.


A terrible riot has just occurred in
New Orleans. The members of the
p Louisiana State Convention, who are
q Union men, met on the 30th ult., for
consultation, and the building in Which
they assembled was at once surrounded
by mob of reconstructed rebels who
had sworn that they wonld murder
every member of the Convention who
dared to be present at the meeting.
y AS usual the poor negroes were the
j, principal sufferers in this bloody af-
fair the reconstructed using the as
scmblins of Union Convention as a
pretext for numbering the blacks in
discriminatory. About one hundred
blacks and twenty five whites were kill
ed and woundedEseveral of the whites
were members of the Convention.
:" The military was finally called out,
martial law declared, and quiet re-
= stored. s .l,s t,r.,

Copperheads are so anxious to have

rule this county, Thinking men re

believe that with whatever party the

will still smell as strongly of treason,
secession. and border ruffianism as
they do now, and that no amount of

M The Cincinnati Enquirer, speak
ing ofthe pension of the Government,
says:
"This is one of the fruits of the cleo
ton of Lincoln and the Republican tri-
umph in 1860. They necessitated meas
ures, and brought into existence pen
sion list nearly as great as the amount
of money that a few years ago, under
Democratic Administrations betrayed
the whole expenses of the Govern
ment."
Not wounded soldier draws pen
sion from the Government, but was
wounded by Democrat; not widow
Or orphan on the list, but was widow
ed or orphaned by the Democratic par
ty in rebellion. 1t was not the repub-
lican party that drought into exist
ence pension list so large, but the
Democratic party of the South. And
the fag end of that party in the North
headed by the Enquirer, have never yet
dared to condemn its war upon the
country.
