The Democratic organ Of Delaware
says the history of the Democratic
party has already been written in the
annals of the nation. So it has. 1t
has been writtensin the blood of 50O,-
600 patriots slain IN a war waged
by the Democratic party for slavery
and secession. It has been written In
the tears shed by countless widows and
orphans over the loss of friends
slaughtered by DemoeFatic eonspira-
tors against our liberties. It has been
written In the melancholy rows Of
graves at Andersonville where sleep
ten thousand victims to the inhuman
cruelties Of Democrats It has been
written IN the scattered bones at Ma
nassas, Spotsylvania, Stone River, and
a hundred other fields where tremen-
dous battles we're fought against arm
les of Democrats for the life of this
nation It has been written In a gi-
gantic national debt, forced upon the
nation by the armed and covert treason
of Democrats in the North and South.
1t has been written in the robbery, pill
lage and murder of four years of bloody
war waged by Democrats to destroy
our Union. 1t has been written In
myriads of desolate homes and aching
hearts caused by the unnamed and
numberless villainies committed by
Democrats against liberty and law
yes written In these horrible charae-
ters, stretching in dreadful lines elo-
quent of human depravity and cruelty
from Maine to Texas. from Oregon to
Florida. 1t has been written by the
lash of Democratic slave drivers upon
the backs of four millions Of serfs-
written in the blanched faces of thou
sands of negroes upon whom Demo
Gratis have imposed a worse degrade
ton than slavery-thetincture ofDem-
ocratic blood. It has been written by
chain and lash, by groans and tears,
by the teeth of the bloodhound and
the tortures of the thumb screw, by
misery and degradation and unrequit-
ed toll through a hundred years ofI
Democratic bondage. 1t has been
written in the blood of great and
good President assassinated by the
wicked tool and exponent of Demo
cratic rebellion, written in the sorrow
of a bereaved nation for its beloved
chief. The Democratic party was the
.mnther-and nuEse-of slavery, and from
its snaky womb the rebellion sprang
full grown. tconspired treason, fought
for treason, symDathized with treason,
apologies for treason, kicks" wound
ed soldiers out of Office. puts towards
and traitors in, and nominates the low
est gamblers and prize fighters Of the
purlieus of New York for places of
honorable trust. Every traitor in the
land is a Democrat; F.; every guerrilla
and cut-throat Of the South is Dem
ocrat, and the Democratic party has
been well denominated the common
receptacle and eess-pool for all the
low, wicked and reasonable elements |
of society. IF there are any good men |
in it, it is their terrible misfortune
and they are lending a cloak by their
good names to the most detestabIe /
forms of Copperheadism and vice. A |
man might as reasonably expect to be
healthy in the flthiest lazar-house in
Europe as to retain good morals or
good reputation in the pestilential air
of the Democracy. The panegyric of
the Herald had better be wasted on
the Prince of Darkness himself than
upon his horrid political and moral |
efigy, the Democratic party of Ameri- |
