THE DExocnAric TnArFeAA.

The Democratic party, believing
itself the worst whipped party that
ever had political existence unless they
succeed in humbugging the people and
not forgetting that the Constitution is
a good thing to talk about but a poor
affair to stick to if there is any tarring
and feathering of "Yankee school
marms" to be done, AMI "that slavery
and secession have been settled for all
time to come by the war, or the volun-
tary action of the Southern States,
never to be renewed or re-agitated," /"
until we are restored to power and en-
abled to reverse the decision of that
war we so heartily opposed, "do with
the return of peace, demand:"
First, Immediate restoration" of
Democracy to power, by admitting the
Southern States to representation
giving Florida the same power that
New York has in Congress, according
to the theory of former times that zone
Southcrner is equal to a dozen mud
sills of the Northw
Second, Democracy having a perfect
right in their own minds to inauguratc
a civil war, the most bloody of mod
ern times, in the attempt to enforce its
princi pies upon the nation, must be
forgiven and restored to its normal cit
izcnship, and those in Southern States
who were known as loyalists placed
under its absolute control.
Wid, 4 debt contracted in the
prosecution of Democratic war is not
binding upon the originators neither
have public creditors any rights which
us individuals every honest man is
bound to respect. Thundcrs of Ap-
plausc.
/ Fowth, Notwithstanding the laws
of the United States and the decisions
of the Supreme Court, bonds should
be taxed out Of existence and a worth
less currency, stagnated business, and
national bankruptcy substituted there
fore. ["Rced it again y
FWh Malice, envy and hate be-
tween the rich and the poor are ap-
pealed to in order that the hoodwink
may be more plausible and our
schemes of iniamy more complete.
Passion and prejudice will be effective
where reason and common sense fail.
/ T"Rcad it again."
Siuh, Economy in the administra-
ton of the Government" by the abol-
ishing Of Freedmcn's Bureaus, re-
ductioa of the army, dispensing with
Revenue officers, disbanding State Mi
litia, and putting the country in de-
fcnseless position so that, should we
succeed, the Secretary of War can
steal all the munitions of war belong
ins to the Government, turn over and
dcmolish our forts and arsenals and
make the necessity and certainty and
SUCCESS of another rebellion tenfold
more secure. Then military dcspo-
tism, and not the minor issues entailed
by Democratic rebellion as taxes, a
standing army, Bureaus, etc., shall
oppress the North, and the South shall
go scot free and rule lords of the ma
nor.
!Serenth, "Rcform of abuses in the
Administration, the expulsion of
Andrew johnson from Office, who in
betraying tho loyal people and at
tempting to conduct governmental af-
fairs upon Democratic principles has
cnkiudlcd the wrath of all good citi-
zens and so palpably exposed the cor
ruption and thicving propcnsities of
Democratic ollice-holdcrs that the
chances are against us of again being
entrusted with the care of national af-
fairs. Howling about Congressional
usurpation and the abuse of the civil
power is expected to correct this where
Ignorance prepondcrates.

must keep their mouths shut against
the truth or they will meet the fate of
John Casey, of Luzernc county, Pa,
whom We put out of the way for tcs-

"In demanding these measures and
reforms VIC arraisn the Radical party
for its" regard "of right and the un-
parallcllcd oppression and tyranny
from which it has been its fortune to
relieve the country. After Congress
