S. much !or a Democratic newspaper
But as ii may he said that this is but sIu-
u ournal, and no fair representative orthe
Democracy, We add few extracts from the
only Democratic magazine in the United
state. 1, is monthly, entitled The Oi2
Guard, and Of course may be taken as an
exponent Of Democratic thought and Trin-
ciple and talent. l. has at my rate the
avo'oci support Of leading Democratic
.. statesmen Of the country, many OF
whom it declares contribute to its pages
Here are some gems from the November
number
And who are the tools 70 execute all the
inhuman tyraunies OF Congress? To begin,
there is Grant. who, when the war broke
out. was performing the duties Of a lackey to
bis brother, in q lanyard in Ualena, most
slayislly addicted 10 rum and tobacco. Mex;
We have Sickles, long known in the places OF
vice as Dan Slckles,' who kept q tisreput-
able sort Of house in Washington, and in
most cowaTdly and brutal manner murdered
his best customer.
Grant will d; last shrink back 70 a level
with tLe lleached bark ol a lanyard, where
the war Iick,d him ", and Sheridan Will
subside into the cougenal haunts Of prosti-
tuuoB.
Tie magazine adyis,s the South to hang
the military sat1aTs' sent to them by Con
gress As to what be would Do if he was
President, tie editor says:
The first moment that either Grant d one
Of the satrsps undertook 10 exercise powers
which the Constitution places clearly IN the
hand Of the Executive alone, We would or
der him t. desist. Ii be kept on. we would
order a court martial, and try him for lnsub-
ordination and consTincy, ana have him shot
SO quickly that it would make the head OF
Congress swim again to read the news.
As to what the Democratic party would
do il summoned by the President, the editor
says.
If you viii call the genuine patriots OF
/ the land such names, at such call the Cop
{ perheads would swarm IN all the hills and
/ valleys Of the North and West. &c thick as
! leaves Of the forest. The real fighting mus
/ Gle Of the country Il altogether with the
/ President, in his conflict with the repudia-
| tors Of the Constitution.
He also begs Democratic editors to tell the
truth about Grant, to break down his mill
tary reputation, and to show that he is aoso-
lutely without reputation.
Was there ever, since the world began,
] two heroes made out OF sucl stun ueiOIe =
We see here in the case Of Sheridan nnc
Grant? Look at them Did the hand ol
the Almighty ever label generous pieces oi
humanity with such yIsages Are not the
yery faces of these men expressive OF th'
mental and social condition which they wer'
IN before the war
If there is a grain Of sense left in tbs
Democratic press 1t will Ice no time II
stripping these military baubles Of all thei
tape and tinsel.

proprietoTs, a man who, the editor says
understands better than any man IN ou
country the heart of the issue involved II
