Democratic Victory or War.

and South, are now full of their
wild and daring threats Of war, rev
olutior, and bloodshed, if their
party be defeated at the November
elections. Thisis the course they
pursued in 1856, but the election of
Mr., Buchanan pacified them for the
time, They renewed their threats
! in 1860, but these were laughed at
by the majority of the other parties
as simply campaign buster" new
er seriously intended or entertain
ed. The subsequent rebellion
showed to the country the extent
and completeness Of the conspiracy
that had been matured, and the re-
sources they broGght to bear in the
work of destruction. H.. -'I
We are, therefore, disposed to
treat the matter aOaG as seriously as
it is uttered, and, if Necessary, to
make the preparations requisite to
the occasion.
Let the country distinctly under
stand the issue;
The leaders of the Democratic
party command the people of the
United States to go to thepolls and
vote them into power, or be pre-
pared for a long and bloody war.
The principle Of genuine Democ-
racy, that the people shall de.
eide, that "the majority governs"
is to be set at defiance by the men
who lead the party; and henceforth,
if any other party succeed in the
peaceful conflict Of the ballot, the
So called Democrats are to hear the
result only to make it the watchword
for a bloody revolution. Freedom
of thought, and freedom of choice
as to parties and candidates, are to
be crushed out, and every voter is
to 90 to the polls under terrorism
as to whether his vote shall
place traitors and their allies in
power, or he be forced to accept
the accursed appeal to sword and
blood as the arbiter Of our destiny.
Among the most earnest and vi
olent of these advocates is the La
Crosse Democrat. In recent arti-
Gle, under the caption "To arms !!
10 arms y it uses the following
language:
We shall enter this campaign to
win, and wjn aue shall! The Con-
vention did not nominate Pendle-
ton, our first choice, but it nomira-
ted Democrat, statesman, andhe
will be elected, or all there is of
American liberty is lost only to be
regained by tile bayonets of a reyo
| luton in the North for by the God
Eternal, if the ballots of white
Americans are not allowed to give
relief to those whose cause is our
cause, the bayonet shall! For there
will be in this country
Equal Taxation. i'r on elt
White Supremacy.
Equality of States, .e,.I
The same money for rich and
poor
Obedience to Constitutional law.
| Or q revolution in the, North
which will bring the right for the
poor, and Justice to thieves, s,cowards,
murderers, law-breakers, and polit-
ical aristocrats, i ''3 tN
All these last named privileges
tie country enjoyed to d certain
extent in 1850. We had equal tax
alton, white supremacy, equality Of
States, the same money for riGf
and poor, and obedience to consti'
tutional law. All these were over
thrown BY the Democrats Of the
South in their attemptt to overthrow
1.-the Union, because, as Mr.. Toombs

y The Democrat now labors to pro

years before it, let the country TAX

Shall such leaders succeed ?
