The Waynesburg Republican. [volume] (Waynesburg, Pa.) 1867-18??, 1868-05-20
For the REPUBLICAN,.
LA CROSSE DEMOCRAT.

over a copy of this great paper, the
organ of Democracy. 1t is a quarto
in form, forty-eight columns mostly
reading matter, one wood cut illustra-
tion of the dethronement of the God
dess of Liberty and the setting up in
her place negro woman. 1t is de-
voted almost wholly to politics, there
being but little news in it. 1t is hard
to tell which it abuses the more, the
Radicals, or Gov. Seymour. 1 was
astonished to find there was such a
"war in the camp" The few Demo-
cratic journals l have read lately seem
to think all is going on smoothly, but
the way this giant pitches into Sey-
mour, Belmont, the World and the
Chicago Times ct al, will surely end
in the destruction of one of the par
ties. A few extracts will show its
style.
"The Rump He'll at Washington" +"
"The DEVILS Impeachment cauldron." ("
"Mongrel Senators whipped in" "The
Radical show in He'll" "Miscegena-
tion in Milwaukee" Such are a few
of the headings.
"No man in this broad land, from
the Lakes to the Gulf so thoroughly
represents the Democratic heart as Mr..
Vallandigham," "The capacity of the
American donkey, Ulysses, is about
one-half gallon Old Rye, per deim."
"For deep-seated, lasting cruelty, for
refined barbarity, and double-distilled
devilishness, the organs of the shoddy
churches of the North are without a
parallel, their venomous course has
driven the great bulk of the people
outside the pale of the churches, and
the people are just becoming nation
of scoffing infdels." "The day will
come when a scrap of Confederate
grey will be more highly priced than
an acre of blue shoddy." "When the
reaction comes there will be such a
freeing of mongrel spirits from their
earthly tenements; such a gushing of
impure blood from scrofulous carcas-
ses such cutting of bronchitis wind
pipes; such shrieking of dsopn east
terror-stricken voices; such a rapid
colonization Of hell's spare territories,
as was never recorded since the Great
Architect rested from his labors on the
seventh day and said let there be
light"
The editor is a sharp Observer and
knows the class with which he deals.
He claims his paper has the largest
circulation of the Democratic weeklies,
being over 100000 copies. His list
is increasing at a rapid rate. The
copy 1 saw contained a list of a hun
dred and ten persons from different
parts of the country who in one week
had sent him clubs of subscribers,
ranging from five to twenty-five. 1t
also contains few "letters from the
people,
"Darien Center, N. Yam form
ing clubs, and getting people to read the
Democrat. Your thunder is the right
kind; let it roll on until it shakes the
putrid flesh from The rotten bones of
the rotten-hearted devil-doing, God
defying crew."
"Your paper has the reputation of
being true to its time-honored name
in this country" "Continue to pile
on the fuel and make it so hot that
Radicalism will gladly seek the present
abode of its martyrized saint in re-
gions Internal, rather than endure the
torment administered here"
Will any one claim thi, paperis not
the true representative of Democracy?
In every portion of the country it is
superceding the World, the Herald,
and other papers of like stamp.
l would like to give a few extracts
for the benefit of Democratic women,
but from decency forbear. If any
one is incredulous as to the kind of
reading Democrats give to their wives
and daughters, let them come to me
and I will show them the proofs.
There are great many quotations
from Shakespeare, particularly in the
editorials. But the way it comes out
on the "Bond question" leaves not
place for Seymour to stand on. PEN
dleton seems to be somewhat of a
favorite with it, but not so much as
Val. Bad grammar is conspicuous
throughout; also new names, such as
"boosting."
There is no doubt that the Demo-
Gratis intend to fight it out on that line.
