ianorance or cowartlice could suggest
are poured forth In the pages Of th
Democratic newspapers Of She hour
The conventions of the party sprea.
their antiquities upon paper in tn,
vain hope to deceive, but the unmis
taxable language OF their orators de
ceives no one. The newspapers are
stepping forward in response to thi:
violent tone of the speakers and in 8
few months the Democracy will be
smoking hot. Brick Pomeroy heads
off, with host of imitators in his wake,
"Blood! Blood is the dismal ery''--
our rights are threatened our homes
|desecrated and our liberty of speech de-
stroyed. ffa m 4nilli
We do not overstate the case. Here
is a portion Of a paragraph from the
Albion Mich Mirror !: "We are not
disposed to be alarmed, but what is the
use of crying peace? The people must
arouse-the tocsin must be sounded and
If needs be blood must again, flow. To
an American what is nationality with
out liberty What blood, oh ! Albion
do you demand. Your own blood. or
that of your neighbors? Will you call
upon negro and foreign substitutes
when the bloody time comes? Your
allies in the ''lost cause appealed with
tears In their eyes for your aid when
your musket might have awaited them,
when your belligerant, bellicose facuI.
ties might have been eflectually EN-.
pleyed, but then you preferred quill
driving to the crossing Of bayonet with
Union soldiers. Down with the usur-
pers!p Oh yes! the ghost OF Banquo
was ordered down, butit wouldn't go
down, though in the presence Of the
modest Lady Macbeth, This is only
the raving of small fry Democatic
newspapers. ..iaa1 uawnh sfotla
The Cincinnati Enquirer, the organ
of Pendleton, is not behind i'm its decla-
nation. Hear it,: 5'sWei take pleasure
in remembering the war, We look upon
it as an act of National. self destruction,
organized in malice, heated to a degree
of fanaticisn, and eliminating in muir
derous madness; we cannot look upon
any Of its consequences, political, social
or economical as otherwise than unmis-
takably disastrous. Hear another of
these paste board knights who, wllirls
his sword over his head and swears by
the gasping moon and the hungry sum
beam, that he must have war to the
knife. and the knife to the hilt, aud the
hilt resting, of course, at Bingen on the
Rhine. Springer of IHinois--an ora
tor of the convention, at Springfield,
raves, rants, pitches, tears, frets, swells
and brings forth in the following seeth-
ing, burning, eloquent tone, concate-
nation Of singing phillipics. "If we
are going to submit to this outrage we
may as well quit now. Fer tell you
we cannot carry enough States, at the
north, to overcome the negro votes at
the south. Hence, / am for no man
for President who is not willing to
stake his life, his property, his all for
the cause" What he wants is a candi-
date that is willing 10 fight his way
to the Capitol. Wants acandidate who
would "be willing to draw his sword,
call the Democratic hosts to arms and
claim the Presidential Office at all haz-
ards" Springer you are too late You
should have taken your gun when
there was a prospect of doing good in
your cause. The head and front of the
rebellion is fugitive, his forces are
scattered and his soldiers have gone
home to live and die in peace, If the
Democracy of the north will allow them
this privilege. Springer, Pomeroy and
the Albion man snuffed the battle afar
of. Vallandigbam went into exile for
the cause, when the latter day saints
of the Democratic party were roaring
with rnge, like the, sucking dove we
read of. There are, discussions i'm the
opposition; Niger, Reputation, war,
float as scum on the top of the boiling
chaldron but the substance of the par
ty will not allow these driveling ran t.
ers to take the greenbacks out of their
pockets, and scatter them thicker than
the leaves in Autumn, and, make
them rs worthless asftLe promises of
the "lost cause. no'The leaders must
get up steam. The machinery of the
party, cannot run, with cold water or
common sense. THE water must be

throughout the LAND, until the nation is
