THE NEW

OPpooAbASh W 49,
The conviction was not held by the
Unionists alone-the rebels were utterly
~vanquished by force, and thoroughly
amazed by the mercy oftheir conquerors.
Not only had we disarmed their soldiers,
we had disarmed their p%rejudices ; and
they were without a pretext for further
opposition, or support If opposition
were resorted to without excuse. To-
day they stand in open, fragrant, and
threatening hostility to the laws, as the
contemnefs Of our authority, MS the
butchers of every law-abiding friend o.
our country, rs the declared enemies OF
our Constitution, and us the assumed
conquerors in the war which ended in
their capture. Why has this singular
change taken place? What induced
them to hope for triumph three years
after their destruction rs a military
power? What noe supports them in
their attitude Of rebellion against our
Government
There must be something powerful be-
hind these traitors to urge them forward
In the new rebellion. What is it?
There is, there can be, but one answer
to this question II is the Democratic
party. From no other source, in this
or any other country, do they receive
q word Of encouragement. No
where else are they sur of sympathy.
By no other organization would they be
tolerated. And nowhere else, out Of
hell, could they find a~pologists and de-
tenders for their wickedness and vii
lainy. The sufficient proof, If proof is
demanded, that the Democratic party
is responsible for the new rebellion,
now impending over our country, is
found in this {: "If the sympathy and
support Of the Democratic party were
at once withdrawn from the Southern
traitors, the land would be at peace"
If the Democratic party stood pledged
to observe and obey the laws and the
Constitution, rs firmly as it now stands
pledged to defy and overthrow them,
all would be well. The fact is patent.
The logic is irresistible. The danger is
imminent. And the duty of every man,
not a traitor at heart, is plain. Join in
breaking down the only party which
threatens to make war on our Govern
ment and overthrow our laws. With
draw your support from the only organ
~ization which fans the flames of treason
and strife cast in your lot with the
only party which asks for peace, and
elect the warrior statesman who ex-
hausts every effort to secure peace be-
fore resorting to that dread arbiter
under which our country, for four years,
rocked like an earthquake.
BY the triumph Of the Republicans
the country is sure Of peace on the
principles settled by the war. We put
forward q platform which demands only
obedience to the laws, and a candidate
ready to administer them in their fullest
spirit of mercy. We ask but one con-
dition of our defeated enemies. We only
demand that they shall resume their
place in the Union with freedom extend
ed, and with barbarous institutions OBJ
liberated. Such terms are rarely offered
by v~ictors. They are rarely repealed
by the vanquished, but they are now
repealed, and this by the advice, md
with the approval>o 4 party calling
itself Democratic |
How our country will fare by the
election Of Seymour and Blair, we may
readily show by the results which fol-
low a forlorn hope of their election.
The day Of their nomination the rebel
Generals, who helped the Northern trail
tor Vallandigham to trick the Tammany
Convention, declared that the cleo
ton Of Seymour and Blair will give the
Confederacy all it fought for" and it
fought for the total overthrow Of the
Government Of the United States. Tho
vote Of every unrepentant traitor in the
land is sure for Seymour and Blair, and
no other candidate can get one Of these
votes. Every besotted brute who rev.
eled in innocent blood in the New York
riots is for Seymour and Blair. Every
member Of the Kuklux is for them.
Every scoundrel who looks upon vio-
lence as preferable to order is for them.
They represent the worst of our popula-
ton in every State, county, city, town
and hamlet in the land. They gloat on
a recurrence of the scenes of four years
ago. They hate the flag which en-
blazons our nationality. They hate the
men who bore it in triumph from the
Susqeuhanna to the Rio Grande. They
hate the debt incurred in maintaining
the flag, and they hate, to the death,
the men everywhere who love our coun-
try. How we'll it shall be for US if Sey-
mour and Blair be elected, we may
easily know by Camilla and st. Landry.
And we implore every voter to ask him
self before voting, "Will the country BIO
safe in the hands of men whose sup
snce Of a single man who loves his
country? Are the liberties Of our peo-
pie safe in the keeping of n whose
,hief desire is to restore the spirit Of
'lavery?"
