Issue to the abandonment OF others. It
was natural, and its policy must be en-
forced for the good Of the whole country. !.
It could not AFFORD to make distinct

individual issue. The policy Of the
Democratic party was to denOunce all
the Republican party did, and the oet-

-S9ilD Democratic Address.
One Of the analyses of the late ad-
dress by some Democratic Congressman
to the Democratic is eouched in the fol-
lowing article from the Cincinnati
Gazette. i'i.1
The Democratic Congressman have
issued an address to their p ,rty. It
accuses the Republican party, with
much generality, but it avoids commit
ting the Democracy to any principles
or policy. We have no doubt that after
that 1'unpleasantnessn in heaven, when
the confederates We're beaten and cast
out, they could have issued just such
an address as this against the heavenly
host. But they did not. Satan and
his chiefs were not so silly as to suppose
that any accusation they could bring
against the party that had btnished
them to the bottomless pit would affect
public opinion. So they did not raise
an outcry of accusation, but set them
selves at work to eontrive to regain by
strategy what they had lost by force.
The Democratic Congressman are sill
ly enough to suppose that their vague
accusations against the Republican
party will move somebody. Else why
did they illuminate iss 1t win af.
feet neither Democrat nor Republican;
.ner is there anything in it to guide the
Democratic mind toward the next cam.

!, They state the vast sum of money
that the war cost. It Is the cost Of Dem

ltimony to the Democratic crime. Why
do they state this, unless to bring before
our eyes the cost of ofDemocracy? ss..
They state the annual expenses, and
say it Is more than in Democratic times
Over thirty millions oft sfor pensions
to soldiers, widows, orphans, manned
land bereft by the murders of the Dem
Iocratic rebellion. Let them keep before
our eyes the consequence of their owl

But they misuse words in their com
parisons. These are Democratic times
The debt of &, ,500, ,000, 900 is Democratic
The interest of over 100 millions is Dem
Ocratic. The pensions are. Democratic
The expanded military and naval es

They say Congress has done nothing

cratic members have distinguishes
themselves, even in the denunciati0n
of, the journals of their own party, TO
their fncapacity to, originate or aid any
rational system Of reducing taxation
They demonstrated what they wantet

say against these organized murderers
Therefore, their i'll opinion of the Law

who are condemned by it. The Liant
rings with the murder Of unofendinI
men by the party friends Of thes
members; yet they only arraign tn
law enacted to punish them. Is DE
mocracy synonymous with Ku-Klux
True, they denounce generally the ide
jfthat the Democratic party can hav
,lsylnpathy with disorders or violence
but they show the character of this b
denying that there are any disorders Q
violence in the South. & ind.s =

hold peace and friendship compatibl
with Republican rule. 1t does nc
