Democratic Hatred Of Grant and Sher-
Eian---ThreatS Of another Rebel

From the Madison Journal.

From the Madison journal.
The La Crosse Democ,at is undouhted-
ly the most popular paper with the Dem
oc,ats published in this State. Publish
ed at a point remote from the great news
centres, and containing but little reading
matter, it has but Just three features
which can account for the great circula-
ton it enjoys among Democrats. a circu-
lation extending into all parts of the In
lou, and which it boasts is greater than
any other Democratic paper east or west.
These three features are
l.-Obscenity.
2.-I4audations of the rebels and their
cause.
3.-Scurrilous abuse and villifcation of
Union E!en. and especially of those who
rendered eminent services in defending
the Republic against the assaults Of trea-
san.
Whatever professions the Democratic
leaders III State and national conventions
may deem it polite to make in regard to
the principles and aims Of that party, the
favor and immense popularity OF such a
sheet as the Ocn.ocrat with the rank and
file of the party speak with far more en-
ptiasls and clearneSS OF the real sentiments
and tendencies OF the Democracy. We
deem it useful thing for Union papers
to let their readers occasionally see specl-
mems OF the utterances Of a paper which
aims not at building up the Democratic
party by plausible aud polite professions,
but at making itself popular with the
more ultra OF the Democratic masses by
giving utterance TO their real sentiments.
Accordingly we subjon couple of ex-
tl,+
Generals in the recent war. The first IS
from the Democrat of Nov. 30th and is
taken from an editorial on the subject Of
the next Presidential election. After
charging the Republicans with giving
suffrage to the colored men at the South,
in order that they might help elect a
Republican President, it continues
Suppose this nice little radical plan is

In this connection. a hint Democrats !

The second extract is IN rcnly to ccrta. n
Democratic papers that have expressed y
willingness to support Gen. Sherman for
President--if he would allow himself to
be used for the purposes Of the Demo
cratic party-not because they ike tho

It is from the Den3ocTat Of December Sd.
The Democrat has opposed this scheme
and denounced Gen. Sherman III most
oDprobfious terms. Several Democratic
pancrS have protested against such I'M

I We have before expressed our opinion OF
the leftcnant OF iIncoin-we propose to
do so again. The ambitious creature ii
