crimes, their absurd conduct, their great
criminal weakness; All their second ''lost
cause totally defeated. They know that
the government sgoing to maintain its in
tegrity and purity and defend the safety Of
the Union. They know that the Republican
party haS saved the government once and
| that it will save il again; and that this spu-
rious element assuming the name Of Democ-
racy, headed by Seymour, Blair, Forrest,
Wise, and Wade Hampton, and other ike
traitors win have to surrender another APP
pomattOx, and reconstruct their infamous
party upon Just aud equitable principles,
and that, too, in the spirit Of a conquered
people.
They know that their overthrow will be
the perpetual overthrow Of treason ssces-
sion and crime. We are not unjust when we
say that they have boldly diSclosed their
purposes. They have laid aside every prin-
cipe but that Of an eager desire to be re-
stored to their fatal control Of the country
they have SO wantouly sought to destroy
They have, demon like, unfnrled another
black flag. Seymour and Blair have de-
clared their purposes. g
4 have long been convinced chat this party
has the wrong name, They call themselves
Democrats. They boast loudly OF Demoera-
Cyl Why; behold, Democracy means .
government by the people form OF gov.
ernment in which the supreme power is in
J the hands Of the people, and directly exer-
cised by thems form of government in
which the power resides ultimately in the
whole people, who conduct II BY SYSTEM Of
representation and delegation Of power ; a
constitutional and representative govern
meut1 This is the de6pitiOn BY Webstef's
unabridged Dictionary. This being the
: meaning Of the term Democracy deny its
application to Democrats, or modern Democ-
: racy. The only appropriate name in the
. English language would be Demonocracy,
/, (notice how it is spelled,) athc power or
i government Of demons, or devils" This,
I then, is the Demon party, for demons they
Q are, in strict sense of the term. We will,
| then, in our further respects to the party,
/ call It the Demon party, or Demonocracy.
J. For ] know the party, heretofore, has gov
: erned like Demons, or Devils. Then, Sey-
i mour and Blair belong to the Demon party,
! and are advocates Of Dcaonoeraey ,--that is,
the "government Of Demons, or Devils"
e Then, demon like, they tell us indignantly
y that if they are not elected we must havs
/ another war. Demonocracy is in the habit Of
: saying this. This they said in 1850,
e Abraham Lincoln, the best man in the
e world, was the Republican candidate in 1850,
j aud the Demons told US that if be was elect
: ed that war would and should be the result.
. Well, surely, he was elected and, surely, We
Y had the war And now. before eight years
5 are past and gone, we are tauntAlized with
s the same old threats. The Demon party are
: Influenced by the same passions, boasting
d and crying war waril

Q projecting another plot. Ia view OF ouch q

L citizen, who loves the old star7spangled ban

4 In view OF such considerations, no Union
: man can hesitate one moment We are sure
1 | " convinced .hat Horatio Seymour Is as EN-
: phatically the head and front Of che new re-
4 belIion as Yancy, Davis, Floyd, Wise, Lee
and Others were Of the enc commencing WITH
the year 1851. We are not forgelnl that thit
J man Seymour was nominated by a Rebe
: Convention, consisting Of such men as Wade
e Hampton, Forrest Co., and controlled b.

rection In the Southern States. Their plat
