Ihe Oe{0 .yare1 say; that the I.res at
loss for other fault TO find with the Democratic
party points its loyal finger at the men
who were associated with it when the war com
menced, snd who went over to the rebels. y
" e are ucvef troubled to lind that party fault,
but to discover It's virtues is very difficult.
Being unable to deny our >tate.nent4, which
facts 1t left out the proud record" it points
ITS ylrtuou> and soldier-sympathizing' finger
to that class OF individuals which the treason
OF the Demoelatlc party brough upon the coun
try, VIZ shuddyites, thiycs and ,coundrcls who
robbed the government and cheated soldiers
and sailors, who, ii says, belong ia the Rcpub-
lean party. The Democratic party must faith
CT these evils rs it Must father all other ills
II forced upon the country Had it not been
for the rebellion We would never have had this
class vi roeuca. Many ot them were Demo,

Till their own golfers, and nearly al, when con
vlctcd and punished for their crimes, 20 over
to the coppcrheads, with the a>sassinS incen
diaries, &c, &c. Only Democrats gave them
encouragement in robhing and stealing from
the government and its defenders they got no
sympathy from any loyal party. Christianity
might as reasonably I've charged with all the
hypocrisy in the Church. as to charge the de
tenders of the Union aud the Constitution with
all the cheating and robbery that this Demo
cratic war brought upon the country through
rogues and scoundrels The head and front

refused Il vote Of sympathy to the widows anl
orphans made by its treason, and even refused
to purchase burial place Tor tia heroes whC
died to save the Union. And now the rogue'
