THE TYRANNY and subtlety of the
Bourbon chivalry is plainly manifest in
the Democratic camp. Blinded by their
own self conceit, these crafty schemers,
mistaking the purport of Democratic
gains last year in Connecticut, Ohio,
California and in some other localities,
have Construed the signs of the times
into a revolution in favor of Hunkerism;
30 they bolt availability, repudiats the
g softs " and take the reins in their
own hands. They cooclude that they
have toyed with the half way make

the party being regenerated," they
can afford to reach out their own hands

ticket would be nominated as in '5i
and 80. These facts are felt and grad
ually being seen by the infatuated
misled " softs " and this is why SC
many desertions are taking place from
the Democratic ranks. There is no
doubt that there exists a considerable
proportion of moderate minded men oil
the conservative type, who were weak
enough to look hopefully to the Tam
| many Convention for the issuance of a
platform and ticket which should
promise the rescue of the country from
what they have been led to consider the
dangers of radical rule" These men
have been trifled with and deceived By
the false hearted Chivalry. They dis
cover what has been fully apparent to
more observant eyes all the while, that
Democracy is delusion and snare.
They have found that what they have
ascribed to the bias of partizanship in
the Republican press is true, literally
true-tbat Democracy is Copperhead-
ism and Copperheadism the twin bas-
tard of secession. They who are homes,
in their conservative professions will
hesitate awhile, astounded at the situa-
ton that they find themselves in but
before election day they will find peace
of mind and satisfaction.in having dis
covered their line of duty by giving
their support to Grant and Colfa1. The
dissemblers and tricksters like Doolit-
tie and Dixon will swallow the Demo-
critic pill, no matter how nauseating
or how bitter. But whoever has pur.
sued given course because of con-
scientious regard for the best interests
Of the Union, whoever felt hearty
lighting temper for the old flag when
The dark days prevailed, whoever pre-.
fers freedom to slavery and Northern
to Southern Chivalry
with its arrogance, insolence and disre
gard Of patriotism and good morals,
will hasten to dissolve partnership with
he Union haters who are the Chief
Engineers of the Democratic party.
