The above speaks for itself Here Is genuine de-
rnooracy for you What do christian % democrats
think Of this photograph Of the principles Of their
party few facts viii settle the question as 20
whether the La Cross5 DeEocrat speeks for the
great democraticJ ohnson-e conservative copperhead
rebel0st cause KukluA party. IL has larger cir
cuation than any other journal in that party-the
/ Horid not excepted. Il has grown from annual
business in SCI OF less than $6oeo 70 business
The proceeds Of which, IN three months in 1868,
amounted &c S29S Ooe Il speaks for the party
which patronlzes il SO literally II, circulation in
the South, especially in Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sssippi is greater than that Of any Northern or
Southern Journal II speaks for all the phases and
shades Of opinion Indicated by the calico title we
have properly given % the party above. II is the
assassination advocate and suits the Boothe and
johnson wing. IL is the advocate Of reputation
and so suits the rebels who will not consent that the
national debt shall be paid and the national credit
maintained unless the rebel bonds are honored. 1t
is the advocate Of color caste and slavery and SO
fits the Irish rebels and democrats who utter the
senseless cry, This is white mans government"
II is the organ Of the peace-at-any-price demo-
Gratis and plcases the rebels generally, whose tool
and ally this same Brick Pomeroy" and his
party were during the war. Yes this paper speaks
for the party the whole party and nothing but the
party. It's ribsld jests and its blasphemous sneers
are but the echo Of the whole grseeless pack, who
might as soon be suspected of deeency as the devil
Of purity Brick Pomeroy" and Rev. Henry
! Clay Dean belong 10 the same Happy Family
They are nearly alike in their foul and disgrace
fu way of treating al decent respectable questions
and persons as two peas, II not twins they are at
least brothers The only difference between them
must be in the prefix to the name Of the latter
There is none in their spirit, aims, language. The
Rev. Dean, it will be remembered, was so entirely
in sympathy with rebellion during the war, and
rendered so much aid 20 that bad cause that he was
arrested and held in confinement by the u S. mill
tary. Recently be uttered sentiments in Connect
cut that their very atrocousness sent shuddel
through the whole land The devil himself must
set up horrid, ssrdoniesl grin when this pure
spotless meek hammered christian minister CD opens
his mouth TO talk Of national affairs and TO dcnounct
republicans and loyalty
The milk in the cocoa nut Of these pillars OF de-
mocracy in their onslaught upon the Young Men.
Christian Association can be readily accounted for
Those Associations favor the promotion Of cyli1a-
tion and religion. Hence very naturally, the anti.
patty Of the la Crosse DegocrGt. They favor the
spread Of literature and education Hence, again,
the hostility Of this malignant reviler OF both But
especially the crowning for this opposition
found in the noble persevering sympathy and lib
erality Of these associations towards the national
cause during the late rebellion. These associations
sent nurses &C. the hospitals and comforts for the SOL
diers and food for their wives and children, and
prayers 20 heaven for the cause Of lhe country
This is not all As they were true to this cause in
i Us trial and conflicts on hundreds Of bloody fields
SO have they remained true 10 il when the armies
we're disbsnded. They hare constantly uotsd right
Oh TIE same SIDE as oar ARMIES fought TAey utll
| cosfal.s TO 40 so Nc further explanation Of the
al,i7.tg Of the d Crosse Democrat is needed. In
conc fusion we venture the remark that revolving
and horrible IS are these insane Cut-givlngs Of
/ Pomoroy ninetenths If the rebel churches, and
especially Of the rebel ministers in the South will
laugh m their sleeve at these utterances while
doubtless many of them will hawk about The paper
and peddle cut this abomnable, blasphemous ob-
sccnity among their saiI,tiy CD followers
/ Since writing the above tho following has come
10 hand which viii indicate 20 cur readers that we
have put the case mildly far ss stating The char

"a paper which the Rochester UIIioa and other i'm.
maculste Conservative organs mildly rebuke for
representing TOO literally the doctrines Of the demo-
cratic party continues lis threats Of Assassination
Its last uttersnce Of the Kind IS contained in the
| following paragraph
There is need OF Mr.. Ben Wade 10 beware. The
people OF this country have borne much from OBJ
scene clowns, drunksrds and fanatics very much
more than they will ever bear again. Ii were far
better that the tyrant who forced into the position
once he'd by Washington, siierson and jackson,
should be hurled cut Of eX ience by the bullet 81
the patriot than that 'hirty-H G millions Of Amcri-
cans should suffer under hi sspotic dynasty "
