The party Wnlcn - calleu 10 usseuDie IN NeW
York on the 4th Of July win be composed Of o
motley group Of soldiers Of fortune, who repre-
sent variety Of opinions, but eliminating in
one eager, greciy end In view-the posses
sion Of the government. The "niggcr " Is an
ape, ababoon, or anything else you please ex-
cept apiece Of humanity, just as long As he
stands in the way Of this party's success; but
when in Georgia, or any other place, no votes
the democratic ticket or helps boost them In any
other way into power. he becomes one Of the
dear people. Any man who went into the war
and fought upon the Union side, Is butcher, .
bakcror cAndlcstiek maker, and all the inhu-
man things you can think Of; but let him prove
that he was in the war only as sutler, or was
inefficient while there, or that he, In fact, was
not soldier enough to hurt anybody, and he Is
the man for this party, and his military expert
cnce, like democratic niger, Is perfume to
democratic nostrils. No matter II q man In
some querulous moment Of an old age should do
n transcenlental mean act and rcpudiate all
there WAS good in his past Life, he becomes, like
Chase, Seward & Co., just the man for this party.
Therefore. where availability i,alone the dis
puted point in question. II will be IN easy
task to select candidate, provided all can be
made to agree alike in regard to his usefulness.
The vallsndigham, Pouercy, Dean, Emery
class Of politicians are at once tho mesnost and
ttavcst portion of 'democr.tic" humanity; but
they have avowe,,And well defined views Of poll
c,\ and the Convention cannot wink them out Of
sighthappy as some Of their associates would be
to relieve the party from the disgusting odOr Of
TREASON anil population. These men are for
open war upon any body that supported tho war
on the Union side, either in person or money.
Vallandigham. in his paper sounds note Of
warning: r... r.r.i. 10
'.Of ono thing in our delibemtive judg-
ment and deep conviction, oil concerned may
rest assarcl; AMI therefore Eastern 'Conscr-
vatiyo and War Democrats AMI their allies
in the West, may take notice Of II and govern
themselves accordingly: No platform or candi-
date will or can carry Ohio, or any Western or
borler State, that is committed, openly or tact-
ly, to the prescription Of the sagacious. gallant,
and truly patriotic men rho refused 10 support
the late ciril War, with all its evil AMI bitter
fruits accommodating now every day. Lat the
Capt,in Cuttles Of the War Democracy and Con-
seryatism make . note Of it,"
How these men can be made to see that Han
cock will run better than their favorite Pcndle-
ton. Is hard to scc. But IL their man is taken
AMI theirvicw sdoptel, the gamblers Of the par
ty who believe that success and plumber are
alone mcritorious, see only ruin. They shy that
right or wrong, this war has been fought to vic
tory, and VIC must not allow the Republicans to
have NIL the credit or the military glory Of D
military leadership. This wing Ofthe party has
long been itching for some soldier they could call
their own. SO utterly barren Of military titles
arc they that a militia captain is stuffed with adj
ula,ion. like monkey gorged with peanuts.
Thc-e men can see availability only in man
like Gen. Hancock. His hanging ofMrs. surratt
is unfortunate for their argument, but that little
plsyfulness can be overlooked in his title. Now
