Democracy aSifIs.

Ihe New York News gives the follow
ing advice to the rebels with whom il
cordially sympathized throughout the
war
I'VE say, therefore, that the first thing
Tor the South to do is to secure a foothoId
IN Congress. They must get into the
arena 6etOTe they can expect to strike efcc-
ttOety J0T their cause. Let them march
IN with hylng colors, by virtue of their
rights, If possible. IfnOt, let them crawl
in, climb in, push in, buy themselves in
or steal III, and get in what way they can
so that the next session of Congress finds
them there"
The New York Day Book, which the
Democract quoted and rather endorsed
is again, as at the commencement of the
war, at its insane and bloodthirsty teach
ings. In an article headed abolition or
Abolltlonists must be EXterminated nand
alleging that it ought to have been under
stood an abolitiOnist had forfeited his life
and any one might kill him on sight if
proceeds:

large in these States. No: Abolitionists
have no right, no natural right to live an
hour on this earth. The crime thev
strive to commit is not only the death Of
society but the death to the races. to both
races, and to commit this crime they strike
down self-government, and finally they
are liars and villains, who refuse to prac-
tice their own avowed belief, and in the
tout ensemble make up a crime. in com
parison with which all others are abso-
lutely insignificant"
but we have an abiding faith that the
Democracy of the land will save it from
this terrible necessity of exterminating

escaping from it by secession, they 9aOoC

the Democrats will now go to work to ex-
plode this delusion, they may save them
selves from the necessity Of killing off the
A6oHtionistS Meanwhile, every man
who proposes to acquiesce in their DEVILS
work must be put in the same category
with the AbOlitionistS, for nothing, no
power on the earth or over the earth, can
save the country from utter ruin, save to
restore the Union as it was i'll 1860. This
must be the rallying cry of the Democra-

In the News the rebels are told to make
ready to strike for their cause" and in
the Day Book we learn the cause to be the
murder Of all who believe slavery to be
wrong-for all such are abolitionists-
and the restoration of slavery as it eX
listed in 1860. We had thought when the
Southern taskmasters of Northern De
mocracy had demanded of that party aid
and comfort in treason, it had done enough
to awaken democrats to a sense of duty,
but it seems there is still a lower depth to
which they must submit or again lose the
favor of their southren brethern, namely,
murder all the abolitionists and restore
slavery!

issued in that State to II, l15 whites, and
less than one-third that number of blacks.

mostly aged and infirm, and to 112 whites

as appears by letter from Gen. Howard,
there were only 5437 blacks and 5683 whites

therefore there is suffering, the johnson
Clymer hyenas ought not to complain,

whites as well as blacks.

following democratic denunciation
