DEMOCRAETC sEEEIMEYT,

A party, like tree, must be judged
by its fruits. And what are the fruits
Of Democracy Slavery, treason, Sc
cessiOn, war, taxation Specialization
We illustrated this pretty clearly, we
tlI1nks last week by some choice selec-
tiOns of Democratic sentiments Culled
from theutterances of acknowledged
leaders Of the party We now append
few more, Of the same sort. Read and
Judge whether a party believing such
doctrines can be safely entrusted with
the d6St1nI6s Of this great nation.
The Chicago Times thus compliments
one Of the great soldiers Of the age, viz:
"Ihe country has had enough, and
more than enough, of Philip Sheridan's
impudence. If the President respects
himself and the Office he holds, he VIII
straightway Kick the insolent, drunken
upstart out of the office of district COM
mander."
This is how a Democratic paper in
Michigan pays its respects to General
Sickles >
"Dan. SickIes, the one-legged cuss of
a murderer, dictator Of the Second Dis
trict, drives about Charleston with a
coach and four, and with the style and
bearing Of a European despOt. PUT a
beggar on horseback is the old adage,
and he VIII ride to the devil So it is
with this miserable whelp, but it is a
stead Of the country. there also"
The New York Day Book, the great
expOunder of the Democracy, furnishes
US with two SPECIMEN bricks:
General, alias DAN Sickles, is report
ed as saying that no man dare question
the authority on which he acts. Wethink
that if we We're one of his victims, we
should be very apt to pop him a question
which he would be good while IN an
sWering-Young Surratt seems to have
the whole of the Mongrel Congress, all
the MOngreI newspapers and a cOnsid-
erable portion Of the thieves and jail
birds about Washington, engaged in a
conspiracy TO hang him. 1t seems to
be a popular ide8 with the AIOngTel par
ty, that it is necessary to hang the son
to justify the murder of the mother.
Of Howard, The Christian soldier, the
same paper says;
p ssThat old beast, o. o. aoward, of the
Niger bureaus has appointed a North
ern nIgger to beakasIlactOr of education
down South. Is there any depth of in
fanny that mongrel viii not reach?''
We confess we are sickened at the fol-
lowing filthy extract from the Old
Guard, the only Democratic Monthly
in the United states
But history is full Of this proof OF
hereditOry character This country has,
alas painful example in the late Mr..
Lincoln, who illustrated in his life the
traits of his unhappy father 121bOag, and
his more unhappy mother, Betsy I1d9IeS.
And now, after his reign, we are threat
ened with a universal amalgamation Of
the numerous political breed Of IincOlns
with negroes. Alas poor country 1t
would be cruel, but It would be bless
ing to our country to serve all the fruits
Of such intercourse as dOg-fanciers do
bad breed of puppies.
When the great work of the war, by
the aid of the Democratic party, is un-
done, then the Old Guard says:
Democracy will resume its glorious
march. and the dreams of the seces-
siOGists'' become living realities of the
future. Instead of dying in vain, the
names of Sidney johnson, StOneWall
Jackson, and their heroic cOmpatriOts,
will be immortal forever, for however
masked or misunderstood, they were
true champions of American Democracy
and martyrs of American civilization
that grand civilization which, based on
the natural distinctions of race, is des-
tined to spread over the whole bound
less continent, and regenerate Christen-
dom.
The Dayton Empire has found a still
newer and pr6ttler name for General
Sheridan. It calls him ga mercuriaI lit
tie cOck-sparrow."
The Metropolitan Record, of New
York another good 'Dimmycratic'' or
gan, says:
Republication is just as certain as the
sun shines. The people are tired of
paying taxes, and already regard the
whole case as a swindle. Five years
Yes three years will bring US face to face
with the national debt, and ifthaL bless
ing is not cursed, then we don't know
tn epeOple. But we think we do know
them, and we think, moreover, that
they will heartily damn the blessing
and the authors of it yet.
Every man that hasa bond or a green
back can underka kafld from the above
how the DemocEacy in power would af-
feet him. Let each one then build Sc
surelY from the ground Up--from tWOn-
ship affairs to national ones.
