FLED WIEN THE DEMOCRACY GET
DO WEP

FLED WIEN THE DEMOCRACY GET
POWER.
That the Southern Democracy will rule
the country in the future if the democrat
ic party obtains control of the national
government does not admit of doubt. 1t
ruled it before the rebellion. 1t has not lost
its weight in the scale. Whatever it says
must be done by the party will be.
And what does it ask Why, that the
South shall be paid for the slaves emanci-
pated, and that the national debt shall be
repudiated and the rebel debt assumed
and paid.
These ideas are not put forth prominent
ly but are held in secret. A recent num-
Der of the Norfolk Virginian however lets
the secret out in an article from con-
tributor. The writer first contends that
Emancipation was wanton destruction
of property not justified by the rules of
war, and therefore to be paid for. The
rebellion he assumes commenced in the
White House. The suppression of the
South upset the constitution and establish
ed consolidated centralized government
on the ruins of the federal republic. He
continues:
"Such being the fact and the admitted truth
two or three plain principles of the law and
practice of nations will make the settlement
of the account between the North and South
very simple and easy. That the war was
most unjust, and in utter derogation of the
rights of the slave States, may be assumed as
taken for granted. The Northern States,
who used the General Government as a tool,
and its navy and army, treasury, &C., as the
machinery to wage war on the South, must
foot the whole bill, as Prussia has made
France do, and as the General Government
itself did in the most unprovoked and unjust
war it waged against Mexico. The ground
and principle of settlement must be 'statu quo
ante bellum, and not uti possidetis-that is
not to keep the South in its present deplora-
BILE state of subsection, but to restore it to
the condition in which it was before Ubiquitous
war against it by the North This involves,
as we have seen by the laws and usages of
nations, full indemnity for the past and secu-
rity for the future, namely, ample compen-
sation to the slave-owner for the loss of his
property by the act of the emancipation of his
negroes or its repeal at the option of the
master, and the restoration of the slave to his
former state of bondage, slavery, servitude
and dependence from which he was liberated
Complete compensation likewise to the man,
rich or poor, who lost houses, barns, grain,
corn, horses, cows or any other species of
property.
''This is no 'monstrous doctrine 1t would
be Furnishing not paying a premium for re-
bellion,' and would not heap disgrace upon
the memory of thousands of brave men who
died in defence of the government and the
rights of the states. The Southern States
should also be fully compensated for the ex-

"They choose the Darkness
rather than the Light because
their deeds are evil"

Charles p. Kimball, Democratic candi-
date for Governor, writes whining, beg
ging, imploring letter to be delivered to
individuals.
James II. Butler, Chairman of the Dem
ocratic Committee, undertakes the job of
distributing it.
See the letters of both in another column
Observe that the package is to be re-
tain "till Thursday night, Sept. 7th"-that
is until after the weekly papers are all out
and there is no chance of exposure and
detection.
The packages must be delivered "in the
evening" No daylight must possibly be
allowed to shine on the transaction.
When men are putting up bad game
of any kind, the first thing they do is to
seek the night, and the next thing is to
cut the telegraph wires.
Butler and Kimball, conscious of the
thorough knavishness of their course,
have initiated the vulgar herd who put up
games tor pay and pelf. We propose to
let in the daylight on their base transac-

Republicans, Read these Letters

Republicans of Maine! The following Sc
cret circulars of the democratic leaders which
have just come into our possession, show
you the trap which they are preparing to
spring upon the republican party. Their ap-
parent inaction has been assumed, and count
ing upon your apathy they have been working
actively in the dark to carry the State by sur
prise. Their candidate for Governor is CO.
operating with midnight conclaves in every
district, and money from inside and outside
the State is being lavishly used to swell the
democratic vote.
The influence of the Tammany ring and the
whole power of the democratic psrty is con-
centrating to snatch victory in Maine, and
if you fail in your duty they will succeed.
Forewarned is forearmed! These docu-
ments show you the game of our enemy, and
it is yonr duty to block it by arousing at once
to the importance of action. full republic
can vote will send these conspirators bowling
in defeat, and it is full time to sound the bu-
gle-calls along the line.
The time is short and the danger imminent
Go to work with a will in every city, town
and district, and show the scheming democ-
racy that the republican armies of Maine are
still invincible. Bring out every voter and
we will send a message TO Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania that shall tell them that "All's well in
Maine!"
