+ Let us soc what theso-called Demo-
cratic party is composed of. In the
first place, In 1860, Abraham Lincoln
WdS elected President of the United
States in manner prescribed by the
fundamental law of the land. The
Southern wing of heDemocratic party
,aonce waged war 4Ipon the Govern
mcnt, tore down its flag and shot SOL
diers, who dared to be true to the Gov
ernnlent Of their fathers, like dogs. AT
the same TIME the Northern wing OF
this same party sneakingly aided the
Southern rebels all they dared under
thefcircumstances.
81 The leaders of the Northern Democ-
rsey |were charged with being in secret
sym patiy with the rebels Of the South
which they denied, but as soon as the
war was ended, and the Union army
Edisbanded, these two parties came to-
gether, united in common cause and
are Substantially striving to obtain
what they failed to accomplish by the
sword. =. Here, we have national Or
ganfzation composed of rebel Generals,
rebel Golonels, rebel congressman,
JEFF Davis and his Cabinet, the officers
aud men who starved Union soldiers
IN Libby, Salisbury, y,sAndersonville and
other. pens worse than hell itself; pi-
rates. !incendiaries, those who wanted
| to- introduce yellow fever and cholera
1iffT the North, ALI the draft sneaks,
shakers, deserters, those who mourned
Wheht the Union army triumphed, and
drank whisky toasts over rebel sue
cesses; those who labofed to bring dis
honor upon the national credit, the
mur raerers of Fort Pillow all the New
Yefk rioters, Doctor Blackburn, gam
TbIers, ,i1i Penitentiary' birds, drunken
pTeaf cheers, &c. &c, and we are asked
tdcalF shis She Democratic party!
w mean to call things by their right
nam es, and with such an infamous rec
ord before us as this party has made
W6 tell these leaders that they might
asJWell ask us to call the devil saint
as to call such an Organization the
Democratic party, according to the true

ssrmdment question the sincerity ant
patriotism of the masses of those meI
Who belong to the so-called Democratic
fpartt. but we are speaking of those
wheIdictate its principles-the leader:
and masters of the party.
Button looking in, Democratic sheet:
we find such opprobrious names as tht
folio wiug applied to Republicans ane
soldiers who have ever been true tt
their country and their flag: "Scound-
i relsI', Brigands," "Cut-throats,
cru mps,'' Thieves &C., &C., while
such men as jeff Davis. Forrest, Wad'
Hampton, Semmes & Co. are callet
"huhble fellow citizens" 'honorables,
&c. Now, gentlemen, would it not b.
we'll for you to eradicate the devil from
your own hearts, before you begin t.
preach the Gospel 2
81 We are not in the habit of appealin;
70 Che srebel Democracy" for patron
agge, nor do we send our paper to Dem
Ocrats who never subscribed for it, a
is the case with a certain Coppcrhea
sheet, which. is constantly sent to host
fof Republicans in this county withou
their consent and against their well
known. wishes. We do not send ou
paper even to members of our ow.
,, party unless they subscribe for it.
