While this party In rebellIou against

every battle field, and every State in
revolt against The civil authority
has been suhjugated and
conquered by the military
power, their allies In the North are Ia
another field, IL which they hope to ac-

they failed to accomplish with the bay

They deDOunce measures they know
to be absolutely necessary TO save the
country from destruction By violence,
and at the same time against the
Rebels in the South, with their hands
yeeklng and smoking with the blood
of your brothers. fathers aud sons,
they have not word OF fault to fad.
Now if the above assertions are true
and it would be eseIf.stultifoation on
the part Of their author to deny them
we ask in all candor whether the
Democratic party is in any sense safe
and worchy repository of political trust2
That party is in all essential partieu-
lars the same now that it was when
these utterauces were made. When,
We may ask, has it purged itself of the
crimes here imputed TO It? When has
[ repented of the guilt which its own
candidate here lays to its charge? When
has it reproached these acts. of rebel
lion or renounced this rebellious pur
pose? And shall this party now, with
all this guilt upon its head, take charge
Of the national revenues, control
he national army and navy and direct
national legislation? Shall it, impeni-
'ent Of its political sins, responsible e
