PARTY DECEIT.


The political history of our country under
Republican rule demonstrates most conclu
sively that the consummation of any important
measure that is in direct opposition to the wish
es and will of the people, and, as we might say
in direct conflict with the Constitution of our
country, has been reached and accomplished
only by fraud. subterfuge, and n resort to such
al captdndam arguments as are addressed to
the passions or preiudices of the masses, and
not to their reason. Step by step, upon teigned
issues, the Radical leaders have led their blind
followers 10 first endure, then pity, aud then
embrace" their most disgusting and diabolical
teachings. We can all remember that mt the
outbreak of the war between the States the
most loud-mouthed and vehement loyalists aud
s0i disant Unionists repeatedly and publicly

the adjustment of slavery. but for the prcsrr
walton of the Union; and II any attempt was
