\ party, like tree, must be judged By
its fruits. And what are the fruits Of
Democracy? Slavery Treason,1 Seces-
sion, War, Taxation, Reputation. We
have illustrated this pretty clearly, we
think, by previous quotations from ac-
knpwlcdged leaders ~ the Democratic
partys We now append few more of
the same sort. Read and judge whether
a party holding such sentiments can be
safely entrusted with the dostinies of this
great natioR, -..r~rt Co., ....-.
The CltieagoJTimes thus compliments
one of the great soldiers of the age;
"Ths country has had enough, and more than
enough, OF Philip sheridan s impudence. II the

This is how IA Democratic paper in
Michigan pays its respects to General
Sickles:
pan. siclle5 the o,lo-Ioggcf c1,ss Of dmUrdcrcr,
dictator OF The second District, drives about
Charleston with IL cnach and four, ana with the
style and bearing OF u European despot Put
"a beggar on horseback is the old nds9e, and
lac will ride TO the devil So II is with this mis-
srab,e lcIep. but il ls u pity lac would not drive
his party, instead of the country, there Also
The New York Day Book, the great
expounder of the Democracy, furnishes
us with two specimen bricks:

one Of his victims we should DC very apt to pop

OF Howard, the Christian soldier, the
same paper says:
That old Je,la O. o. Howard, of the Niger
Bureau, has appointed II Northern nigger 10 b,
inspector Of education down south. Is there
any depth Of ihiamy That II mongrcl VIII not

We confess we are sickened ut the fol
lowing filthy extract from the Old Guard
the only Democratic Monthly in the | nj
ted States:
But history Is full of this proof of hcroditar.
character. This country has alas al painful ex

in his life the traits Of his unhappy father Lto,,

When the great work of the war, b.
the aid ofthc Democratic party, is undon,
then the Old Guard says:

The Dayton Empire has found stil
newer and pretticr name for Gen. Shcr
dan. 1t calls him "a mercurinl littl
cock-sperrow.
The Metropolitan Record, ofNcw Iorl
another good Democratic orran, says:

Every mnn that has bond or II greer
back can understand from the above ho
the Democracy in power would atlc'
him. Let every one then build sccurel
from ground up--7from township to n;
tional affairs.
