SPECIMENS OF THE PEACEFUL DEMOC-
RAOY.

RAOY.
The Seymour organs have been within
a few weeks past, that is to say, since the
New York nominations, more than usually
incendiary. They have surpassed them
selves; their violence has been extreme.
If they had intended to plunge the South
ern States into the abysses of another revolt
they could scarcely have used words bet
ter calculated to eject the purpose. No
epithet has been too vile or outrageous
to hurl at the leaders OF the defenders Of
the Union. 1t would be impossible to
decide whether ferocity, falsehood. or
billingsgate has predominated in their
columns.
Lest it should be thought that we ex-
aggerate or do these papers injustice, we
append few specimen extracts which
speak for themselves. The first is from the
Little Rock (Ark) Gazette, and reads as
follows:
Our competitors being carpet.baggers,
scaliaWags, jaYhawkers, and thieves VIC
may occasionally be jostled against them,
or torsooth be forced 70 fight with unmanly
weapons. But we shall not shrink from the
nnwholesome task, and only ask our friends
TO bear with US, as the end sought will
justify the means We must destroy the
unseemly beast and bury his filthy carcass
out of sight. That will be the WORK of the
summer and fail campaign.
"The end sought will justify the means.n
There is no mistaking thai language. But
the Seymour Democracy want peace they
tell us. They constitute the party of Chris.
tianity, of chivalry, and of law.
The following, equally choice, refined,
and peaceful, is from the Mobile REGISTER,
which holds distinguished position in
the party, and is edited by John Forsyth,
who is doubtless as well posted as to its
minus and designs as any man in 1t in the
Southern States. Speaking of the Union
men of the South, the Register says:
They are dogs, and should be treated ia
dogs-dogs only tolerated now because the
power OF the sword is In the hands of our
enemies in Congress but will not he toler-
ated one hour after the people recover the
liberty to do justice upon their oppressors.
The Union men of the South twill not
be tolerated one hour after" the trium ph
OF the Seymour Democracy. 'Let us have
peace" How the deadly virus Of the evil
spirit OF secession does raukle in its ac-
customed channels. 1t can no more be
concealed than the gentleman in black can |
hide his hoofs and horAs The extract |
which follows, redOlent with patriotism,
peace, and loyalty, is from leading pa
per in Tennessee, the Memphis appeal:
The South is our land; the North ia a
foreign and hostile realm. Stand at the /
altar OF your country. Swear eternal ha. |
tred OF Its oppressors. Swear that the day |
snail come, If these oppressors shall con.
6nue, when the Susquehanna and the |
Ohlo snail De ike rivers of fire, as they are /
MYERS OF Dlooo, between your native land /
man shall attempt 20 cross and live.
The Appeal is edited by Albert Pike.
who was born ia Massachusetts, aNorth-
srn Hun"
We might give more, but these will do
or to-day. The Democracy want peace,
we, the peace The wolf gives the lamb.
RecollecG that these extracts are from
eading Seymour organs 10 the South. They |
IRE well calculated to give all persons who
ire really loyal to the United States gov
'rnnent pause and we shall be much |
mistaken # they dc not have that effect.
