We have a great Republican party
party fair as the moon, bright as the
sun. party that brought oar country
safely through one of the worst strug-
gles any nation ever knew. And
low, as has been justly said, why
should you cast away this feast of
The soul, this through and turn to the
husks and shells offered instead, by
The Democratic party.
What does it present in its plat
form?
1 have carefully analysed that most
production of shrewd
men, for the purpose of seeing what,
if any, promise it contained for the
future benefit of the country. The
whole fourteen resolutions may be
reduced to five: One old, one new
tangled, three newly-made, old stand
byes.
First, they declare themselvee op-
posed to protection and in favor of a
revenue tariff. This is as old as any
thing ever gets NOWADAYS in the
Democratic party-some three or four
years old.
Second, they are in favor of issu-
ing a three per cent. bond, converti-
BILE at tie option of the holders, into
greenbacks, and these in their turn,
convertible into bonds and so on
This is simply the old Pendletonian
scheme for swindling the national
creditors in another form. That
scheme died; this is its dead corpse,
dug from its grave by Gen. Ewing.
Third, opposition to San Domingo
purchase
Fourth, repeal OF the Ku Klux bill,
and the general elective laws.
In the same platform, they demand
universal amnesty. This is perhaps
the only plank on which the whole
democracyof the country can agree
They demand universal amnesty, that
Davis. Toombs and their compeer>
maysucceed to the control of national
affairs.
JEFF Davis seems to be a special
favorite with them, whether on ac
count of his prominence as President
of the Southern Confederacy. or hi:
more recent operations, in sconucc
ton with the railroad system of the
South.
TIE THREE PER CENT. BONDS.
This is General EwIng's pet scheme
The Democratic party have promptly
fallen into this scheme, which pro
poses not only the issue of an unlim
tied amount ofpaper, but they droI
all their cry about a permanent m
tional debt and now propose to maxi
the debt everlasting.
1 can not help painting TO mysel
the General, when he ghoul like, dug
up this Pendletonian theory from it
foul resting place, and breathed int
it anew the spirit of life. Like on,
similarly situated, well recited by thC
poet:
lie smole ghastly smile.
And many wink he wunk:
And surely twas g'lastly thing,
To think the thoughts he ti!unS.
The Eastern Democrats say tina
Ewing is insane, aud lie is from othe
quarters by his own party, pretty
thoroughly denounced. But, L dC
not believe he is insane. L regart
this whole proposition as only lit
tie piece of pleasantly, being perpe
trated by him. The facts are that W,
are paying of the uebt with n WOE
derful rapidity, about sS,000,000 pc
month.
AN APT TALE.
The democratic party conjures vi
some very dark pictures from its Owl
disordered brain. To hear them ont
would think the country hopelessly
ruined. They are very much in tht
position of the fellow, who after 8
nights dissipation, went to the doc
tor for rclie.:
"Oh, Doctor, What shall 1 do
Last night rs l went nome i saw :
ghost. 1t followed me clear home
Doctor. something terrible is goini
to happen"
"What was the shape ofthe ghost ?
asked the doctor.
1T looked just like jackass," an
swered the patient.
go homer said the doctor, Gan
keep sober, you were drunk last nigh
and got scared at your own shadow
So the Democratic party is scare'
ut its own shadow.
SAN DOMINGO.
General Grant has referred thi
question to the people where it prop
erlv belongs.
Believing as ] do that it is the des
tiny of this country to extend its Dor
ders until it enfolds every country o.
this continent, as well as every islant
adjacent thereunto. / have no oh
lection to seeing large part of thi
accomplished in my lifetime rathe
than being deferred to the great fn
ture.
Bat why raise all this hue and eri
against General Grant for attemptin:
to gain possession peaceably of an is
land of vast importance to our ma
tional prosperity.
Did not Democrats boast that
was the noblest and best motto of thei
party that the American flag shoul
wave over the whole of the America
continent? Shame on the party that
irst untrue to their country, ends /
becoming untrue to itself.
THE NEW DEPARTURE.
They are willing 10 go back o
their opposition during the past te
years, and now to acquiesce-
II they are sincere in what the
say, they are, by their own shown!
unfit to be trusted with Eower The

tons way, and failed in all they I'm

to inspire confidence, and then VIII
