DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT AND DEMOCRAT
&c LITERATURE.
Tho Rading Democratic paper Of the
country is the LaCrosse Democrat. That
is an accredited organ Of the Democratic
party, It's immense circulation both North
and South is abundant proof Its oircula.
ton now reaches 10000 copies, and is
continually on the increase. 1t is fair to
presume then, that its utteIances arc ac
ceptoble 10 the Democracy, aud tho char
actcr of these utteranccs indicate, there
fore, the disposition and reflect tho scnt
ments of the party. To show our readers
the quality of mental food on which the
Democracy in subsisting at this time, we
quote from late number OF the Democrat
the following article upon the General
Conference Of tho Methodist Episcopal
Church during its recent session in Chicago;
There ia now in session in tho city of
Chicago,a a nondescript, black-and. tau, RUmp
Radical, polticoreligiou mob, known as
the Qnadrenniel Conference OF the Methodist
Church. II is convened nominally in the
interests Of the Methodist determination, but
Tealy in the interests OF the mongrel party
and with an eye to the interests Of Grant who
il the candidate of tho Mctho1ists. IL will
remain in session until after the Chicago
Convention. and will add its nasal whine to
the chorus of damnahlo dscords that
will hail the nomination of tho azure
backed butcher 1t ia engineered 10y the
infamous Simpson, Methodist Bishop OF
Philadelphia, who, in colluson with Gen.
ernl Howard the other reverend ruilian
Of tho Freedmen's Bureau, took possession
OF twelve hundred churches belonging to
the Methodist Church South, and turned
Them over to tho niggers and convict
preachers Of the North.

Aud this is sample Of the column after
column OF venom and bOsphemy, which i,
furnishes it's readers with week after week
Nothing is too sacred for the touch of its
polluted pen. Its notoriety has been ob
,ained none through its obsoenity aud bias
phemy.
4 specimen OF its argument, which
furnishes the Democracy to great extent
with their political pabulum, may be found
III the following
His Satanic Majesty has left hell. Gen
eyal Ulysses s. Grant has taken his place.
Not long since, General Grant made HE
appearance at the door of the internal re-
gions, audasked for admitAnoe, Two inns
were detailed to conduct hint into the
August presence Of his Satanic Majesty.
The Lacrosse Democrat gives tho follow
ing account of the scene, and the reason
Nhy tho Devil abdieated his throne;
" Good m0rning, sG
And tho mighty man responded How
do yon doS' .ai
What might be your namor" quorie,
his majesty.
General Ulysses s. Grant, from tn,
United States Of America | am General il
Chief
"And what do yon want here's"
a am come to defend Congress"
When tho mighty man told his name an,
business, tho Devil was greatly alarmed
aud turned worry white ia tho face. How
ever. he inne lately commenced TO uu
screw his tail, until he finally got II on
when he handed il 10 Grant the might
map, telling him 10 take possession of hi
seat.
With such argument and such lileratur
is the Democracy of this year of grac'
ls6s. bolstered up. Much Of tho scurrilit
and yulgarity that reeks from that foul
tain Of pollution is too obscene aud bla'
pheInous for republication, aud we onl
give these specimens to show to what
pit OF inlamy modern Democracy is descend
ing.
