PIoNEEa GRANT CLuB.-The rooms of this
club were again crowded on Friday evening
last with the adherents of Grant and Colfax,
the standard bearers in the coming Presi-
dental contest of those great principles of
unity, justice, and equality that have been
sustained so triumphantly by the people of
the United States since 1860. The election
of Mr. Lincoln in 1860, upon a platform of
the Republican party opposed to the exten.
sion of slavery into the territories, was the
| signal for rebellion in the Southern States .
The Democratic party, with Democratic
President at the head of the government in
1850, was responsible for the preservation of
peace, and the enforcement of the laws.
How it discharged these important duties
to the country is best known to the people
who had to rally in defense Of the country
| and government in 1861, against one of the
foulest conspiracies that was ever allowed
to gain Roadway against the liberties of the
| people, and in the interest Of slavery, In
1854 this same rotten Democratic party, still
acting in the interest of slavery, and With a
view of making it appear that the wal va as
a failure, attempted to get hold of the reins
of government; but the people gave them
| overwhelming defeat at the ballot box,
whilst our gallant soldiers and sailors were
defeating their rebel allies on land and
water. And now, in 1865, this same Demo.
| NrQfiR antino in
| who failed to destroy the government and
divide the country, come forward and ask
the people of the United States to trust
them with the government thereof! If they
are sane and are making this request seri-
ously they deserve to be treated seriously
by the people, for they have committed
crimes of too serious a nature against the
| people to have the matter passed over
| lightly. The people have but to speak
once more in such a way as to
let this party know that its rotten
carcass is offensive, and must be buried
from human sight. The election of Grant
and Colfax will secure decent burial for
the Democratic party, and peace and pros
perity for the country.
