TCheers. e Hi d rii0 ri s1sl
1 Suppose you put this Democratic .
party in power; judging FROM the .
men who compose il, what would they
do2 The same men that composed
it during the war, are now 10 il: IL
has, moreover, all the Southern reb-a
els, unrepentant as they are, within it.
1t has the fiery spirits Of the South,
Semmes and Taylor, and others Of
that class, whom we can't stop to
enumcrate, 1t has also, Mr. Fallsu.,t
dighom to the contrary notwithstandra
ing, the whole raft of skedadleys that
made solemn march, having FIRST got
on the negro trail, to Canada; il has
all Of them in IL. And all over the
States these fellows are sueing toWn-i
ship trustees for refusing their votes
for having run off to Canada. II has
in its ranks all those who led aud.
took part 10 the New York and New
Orleans riots; including also, all the
guerrillas Of Kentucky and Missouri.
Ii has in il, last and most of All, evs
cry single man who, ia Washington,
! in the House, and in the Senate, aud
in the Legislatures of the sevsral1
States gave their votes against the
adoption Of that great Amendmept
that forever denationaliEed and struck
down human slavery. All these be-
long to the Democratic party. I had
rather have friend Of mine charged
with downright treason who had rails.
cd his hand in the South in the midst
Of it against the Government, than to-
have one in the North who, In his
place in the Senate or House, voted
against the adoption Of that consti-li
