The DC mOcracy ON Lincoln Brick
POmeFOy's Last.

POmerOy's Z" Last.
/ We doubt if our readers ever pc
rused more shocking and Infamous
ly blasphemous article than the one
whsch we copy below. It will be re-
mefnbered that Gov. OGLEsBY, of II
LIMOS, by public proclamation re-
quested the people of that State to
obs rve the fourteenth day of April
as a day of prayer and religious com
memoration of the assassination of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. It is in answer
to that proclamation that the notori-
Gus Brick . PoMERoY publishes the
article which we copy. 1t will not do
for the Democratic leaders to deny
sympathy with it or the author. 1t
will not be forgotten that in company
with one of the candidates on the
Democratic ticket, and by invitation
of the State Central Commit
tee of that party, he .canvassed
Indiana in the last campaign, and was
every where greeted with immense
crowds. He was met by the promi-
nent leaders Of the Democratic party
of Evansville, and entertained by
them He drew out one of the. largest
audiences that was assembled during
the campaign in this city, and his
utterances were applauded to the
echo. The La Crosse Democrat, the
vile sheet which he uses as the me-
dunn of his vile billingsgate, treason
and blasphemy, circulates extensively
in this District. Every county in it
has large club; in fact, We doubt if
there is as many copies of any other
foreign weekly Democratic paper cir
culated in this part of Indiana. If
such is the food which the
minds of the Democratic masses
is fed upon, what must be the
secret and innate principles of
that Organization? Can any good
citizen or true patriot read the follow
ing without a sense of rcpulsion
and disgust?r - r.s -, : 80

"The darkest. saddest hour, in our. entire
history 2" All! Oh, Ugh! Who ever
should have thunk it? or imagined it9 or
had a glimnner of a conception of such an
idea And all because the clownish and
uncouthed tyrant, Lincoln, was knocked
off the national chicken-roost by j. w.

From the hour of his taking off the obse-
quies, mourning, professions, were heart
less stage displays, mere clap-trap and
buncombe, under cover of which Demo-
Gratis were murdered; printing offices gut
ted, mobs rampant, and the devils in hell
given holiday to work their diabolical
will on earth.
From town to town was carted the cold
corpus of the Sangamon ignoramus, who
deserved death on q gibbet for his foul
crimes, months, years before the moment
when Divine Retribution and Omnipo-

moned the destroyer of the Republic and
foe of American liberty to stand in His
dread presence. @s
