Nel0s administers a severe and we'll
merited castigation to the blOwhards
and gasbags who are Eliminating
their bulls Of accommodation
against those Democrats who refuse
to follow the lead of men who for
twelve months have repudiated the
name OF Democracy, opposed its IN
v%entions and its nominees, while
voting for Radical candidates. The
thoughtful men of the Democratic
party begin to tremble for the future
safety Of the party, when they see, as
high priests, ministering at its affairs,
brassy sneaks who support Radical
candidates in preference to Demo-
cratic nominees, and who preach In
dependence and Liberal Republican
ism in one corner of the mouth, and
| Democracy out Of the other. To see
such creatures mounting the tripod
and reading out of the Democrat
ic party men whose crime con-
sists in an Interchangeable devo-
ton to the Constitution and the
canonizod creed Of the Democracy,
as promulgated in National Con-
ventiOn, is the climax of impudence.
When in 1868, a convention Of the
American Democracy, and when in
1870, the Democracy of Shelby county,
clearly marked out the ground to be
occupied by all who desireand would
accomplish the overthrow Of Radical
ism, the APPEAL was true to the be-
hests Of It's party. And when in 1872,
the National Democracy, in conven-
ton e~nunciates its creed and
dominates its candidates, we will
support them with that alacrity, zeal
and fidelity which we exhibited when
our present asssilants were support
ing Radicals. We incur no risk in
promising a cordial and unqualified
support to the nominees of the Ma
tional Democracy, because we know
its platform will rise above the policy
and the local issues OF the various
States, and be broad enough to en-
brace all who would rid the country
of UsurpatiOns that are ''unconstitu-
tional and revolutionary" and the
Constitution of '.excre5ences" adopt
ed by "fraud and villainy." Time is
a great tell-tale. A physician was
asked "What is the best cure for
rheumatism" His reply was, 'sir
lgeekS." The best cure for the evils
that beset the Democratic party is
three months. The result of the
elections in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Cali
iornis, Iowa and other Northern
States-will be as efficaciOus to the
Democratic party as six weeks Is to a
rheumatic sufferer. The future will
show that the Radicals cannot be
defeated by Ginning them-that the
Democratic party cannot augment its
strength by abandoning its principles.
Had the Wing party remained true
to its organization; kept its fac fly
ing; adhered in adversely to its prin-
ciples-it would have supplanted the
Democracy after the war. But when
it yielded to KnOw-Nothingism and
spoke Of its ''Own corruptionp and
''violated pledges" it persisted; and
when the Democratic party becomes
so bankrupt for want of votes as to
repudiate its principles, and like 3 F.,
faded cOquette set its cap, put on
its sweetest smiles, and uses F.,
every art and Establishment, accepts
accomplished villainies as accom- {
facts, in order to woo and win
formerly rejected and despised usurp- ,
ers and despOts, it will share the fate j
which its turbulence deserves. The !
events of the next six months will :
teach the Democratic hosts that the !
wheels Of their great political chariot !
