The REVOLUTIONARY DEMOCRACY

ccnspirators in order thatLincoln mig
be elected and a pIetext be thus afforded
for secession. In 1868 those Southern
ccnspirators rejoin the Democratic Or
ganization, hoping to secure. by the
re-allisnce political power and strength
enough to regain what they lost by
their venture in IS6O--6l. The wonder
is, that any party, even the Democratic
party of the North, is SO poor in spirit
as to receive back into its counsels the
marplots who went deliberately at work
to break that party to pieces and de-
stroy its power. But the SINS which
annulled the cid marriage are forgotten;
the divorce has been cancelled and
rejoicing in their shame, the Northern
Democrats whose bed and board was
quilted by the strumpet Of Secession
have taken her back to their arms, all
unrepentant as she is I!
A change has come over the world of
politics since the Charleston Conven-
tion. The friends and adherents of Mr..
Breckenridge then defant!y told their
party " unite with US ia repudiating
Douglas or we will destroy your politi-
cal organization" To the North they
said, {" Elect Lincoln at your peril.
His Inauguration will be followed by
the secession from the Union Of every
Southern State" They were true TO
their threats then. Shall We not heed
their threats now?
The South has not the hardi hood to
say to the North in 1868 9 give Us
Democratic administration or We will
secede." They have tried that game
cnce and failed. But they boast, e1-
ultantly and iu bitter earnest, that with
Seymour and Blair at the head of the
Government, RepnbIicanism shall be
wiped out of place and power recon-
struction nullifed and tie rule of the
Chivalry berestored We have no doubt
il the world that they reckon rightly
and that the revolution they so fondly
anticipate would lie the result Of the
defea; OF Grant ard Colfax in Noveu ber
next.
Even the hottest Copperheads tell
you with cool efroutery we want
peace" Why, the rebels themselves
wanted peace-and "two Govern
men,s." They didn'. want any war
not they. They merely said, in cool,
way, we have seeded
aod set up our Confederacy and all
you have got to do to have peace, is to
let US alone" :" Be not alarmed" says
the highvayman, you will not be mo
Tested you give up your purse and
keep quiet while I get away with it."
The sort of "peace " that Copperb cad

Ire in favor of is the non resistance of
