The Democratic Proclamation

The Cincinnati Guzettc has q search
ing rev.ew Of the address issued by
the Democratic Congressman, which
handles the remarkable document so
ably thst we transfer its main points
to our columns entire, forming as
they db a most compact and convinc-
ihgreplyito to the long and numbering
paragraphs of that instrument. 1t
starts out with the general statement
that the address accuses the Republl-
can party, With much generality, but
avoids committing the Democracy to
any principles or policy. 1t opines
that after that "unpleasantness" in
heaven, when the confedcra.es were
beaten and cast ont, 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 banished them to
the bottomlcss pit would affect public
opinion. So they did not raise an
outcry Of accusation, but set them
selves at work To contrive to regain
by strategy what they had lost by
force.
The Democratic Congressman are
silly enough to suppose that their
vsuge accusations against the Repub-
lian party will move somebody.
Else why did they illuminate it: 1t
win affect neither Democrat nor
Republican; nor is there anything IN
1t to guide the Democratic mind to-
ward the next campaign. 1t is as
emptya proclamation as was ever
issued against the comet.
They state the vast sums Of money
that the war cost. 1t is the cost of
Democratic rebellion. 1t is a per-
petual testimony to the Democratic
crime. Why do they state this,
unless To bring before your eyes the
cost1f Deriocracy?
They state the annual. .expenses and
sayi, Is more than in Democratic
times. Over thirty millions Of it Is
for pensions to soldiers, widows,
orpbaps, MANNED and brett by the
murders q: the Democratic rebellion.

Let them keep before. our eyes the


consequences of their own crimes.
But they misuse words in their
comparisons. These are Democratic
times. The debt of $500, ,00G, GOO is
Democratic. The interest of over
100 millions is Democratic. The
pensions are Democratic. The ey-
panded military and naval establish
ments by the war are Democratic.
The extra civil establishment re-
quired tocollect revenue to pay these
war expanded expenses is Demo
cratic. Only fraction of the gov
ernment expenses is Republican.
They say Congress has done moth
ing to reduce taxation. And the
Democratic members have distin-
guished themselves, even in the
denunciations of the journals of their
own party, for their incapacity to
originate or aid any rational system
of reducing taxation. They demon
strated that what they wanted was
not to oreform taxation, but TO deprive
the government wholly OF revenue
to keep the public faith.
They denounce the legislation
against the Ku Kluy, but have not Il
word to say against these organized
murderers; therefore, theirillopinion
Of the law is the same that is pro-
verbal to those who are condemned
by it. The land rings with murder
of offending men blythe party friends
of these members; yet they only
arragn the law enacted to punish
them. Is Democracy Synonymous
with Ku klux? True, they denounce
generally the idea that the Demo
cratic party can have sympathy with
disorder or violence; but they show
the character Of this hy denying that
there are many disorders or violence
in the South.
Lacking the integrity TO make a
plain recognition of the disordered
and dangerous state Of the South,
they recognize it indirectly by Il
general cXhortation tomaintain peace
and order, and protect the rights OF
every citizen, and by prescribing
friendship and affection as the best
means to restore peace in the South.
But the Democratic mind does not
hold peace and friendship compatible
with Republican rule 1t does not
mean that its Southern confederiites
should abide by the law under a
Republican administration. What
it means is war to carry the Southern
elections, and Democratic admins
tratjon to embrace the red handed.
That is It's notion Of restoring Demo
cratic tranquility.
This address is too feeble. Its
accusations of The Republican rule
amount to nothing. 1t Is as If the
criminal classes should upbraid the
government for the cost Of protecting
society. 1t offers no policy or prln-
ciple TINT can inspire the party to II
new contest. And it can have no
influence, even if it has the design,
to restrain the outrages in the South
which are now proc!aiming to the
country the dangers of Democratic
rule. -Rcgisier.

"* The tide of the elections ir-
dictate a change in public sentiment
just now which may give US victory
or hurry us toruin.
** There will be no difficulty in
the election of a Democratic Presi-
dent provided they make such issues
as offer to the people a reasonable
hope of reformation, but only in this
case.
If the people are to have no relief
from the oppression of the public
debt-in the election for the Presi-
dency, the next election will lie pre-
cisely the same as in the election Of
1868 in all of its results. Hon. Frank
Z. Blair has struck the key note of
the successful campaign in 1872 by
his course in the Senate. There can
now be no doubt that the letter of
Blair to Broadhead was the only real
statesmanlike declaration Of the cam
paign of 1868. If the doctrine in that
letter plainly set forth had been
adopted by the Democratic party and
pressed with the same zeal that the
Republican party urge their dogmas,
the country would now be in flame
of Indignation and combination OF
force sufficient to re-establish free
government in the country would be-
thoroughly organized preparatory to
successful canvass in 1872. Ecen
nom, if the Democracy will agree
upon an aggressive canvas-upon a
platform of principles which every
body understands to mean the resto-
ration Of constitutional liberty, the
integrity of the States, the right of
local self-government and the 0ditte,'.
alton Qfthe National deJt aCith lis ia-
fernW dppeaddges, we can easily elect
the next President. The Southern
people owe much of their oppression
and insult from the Government to
their obsequiousness and cringing
since the war to power utterly OBJ
livious to magnanimity. IL Is no"

The men now legislating against the
south are Williams Of nameless atrocity
who legslate to perpetuate power.
But their constituents love money,
and want your custom. W. When
tyrants rule as they are now ruling
in the south, they ought to meet re-
sistancc, and more than that, they
ought to expect resistance, and if they
are not taught that such tyranny
will provoke resistance, then farewell
to civil liberty everywhere"
The above gains additional interest
| from the fact that Mr.. Dean Is the
recognized guide and spokesmen Of
the faction which boasts that it has
the power to, and that it will dictate
the platform which the Iowa Demo
Gratis will issue at their State
Convention in June. Don't you

The stock Of last years wool is be-
coming exhausted in the eastern mar
kets, and Coates 4 Co, the largest
dealers Of Philadelphia, report sn ad-
vance Of from one to thnep cents per
pound since January, on all grades.
Prices in that market new range from
IS to 83 cents for fleece, so to 60 cents
for tub washed, and 40 to AZ cents for
pulled.
The Ohio GatiUdtoT says that Col.
Harris, who has lately returned from
an extensive tour through the South
and East, confirms the reports Of the
short stocks Of wool throughout the
country. The C~rliUoser adds:
There never has been since 1852
such 8 complete drainage of this sta
pie in the East as at the present time.
Medium fleece is very scarce in all
the sea-bOard and interior markets,
snd there is a general tendency up
ward In prices. COmbing fieeces are
also higher; In truth there has been a
clean sweeping Of both domestic and
foreign woods. We do not venture q
prophecy es to prices for next clip,
but at present everything looks en-
couraging 10 wool growers
