April, 1865, yet the hatred to the federal
government to day throughout the south,

Thousand times more intense than 1T was
either at the opening or close Of thatfear
ful and disastrous struggle. 1t perme-
ates every profession and shade OF socie-
ty. 1t is the nutriment upon which these
cadaverous devils feed And unless you
cry Huguenot and shout death to every
blue belied yankee in the land, and man
of northern birth, yoIr corporeal devel
opments are soon consigned to the cold
and friendless tomb, and your soul
mathematical to hell! This is a dread
ful picture to hold up to the gaze of the
great world of the north--a people who
spent billions of money and millions of
men to hold the union intact, and pre-
serve our fedtlative system of govern
nent as it left the plastic hands Of its
patriotic founders. This picture is not
over drawn, as one hundred thousand
men and women will boldly and fearless
ly testify to to day.

A Democratic Paper At Helena.

We have received in advance the Prospect
us Of a new Democratic paper to be publish
ed at Helena, by CARornERs a BURTON, and
edited by GEo. f. ABDAY. 1t would seem TO
us. that Helena presents one of the finest
openings for A democratic Journal of any in
the State. We wish it all manner OF success.
and look upon the enterprise as sn acquis-
ton OF importance to the cause Of Democra-
CIV i'm the East. We extract from the Pros
pectus, as follows.
In politics we shall support the National
Democratic and Conservative Party, both In
its platforms and nominations, believing Us
we do. that our only safety lies In the harmo-
nious organization into one party of all those
now in opposition to Radcalism. The lead
ers of that party having gained possession OF
the State, have proved recreant not only To
the people at large, but also TO the masses OF
those who at first joined them for the honest
purpose of reconstructing the state upon the
broad platform of Economy Amnesty and
Equality. In each and every particular OF
these-their pledges-they have failed. aud
have proved by their actions that their only
motive In the beginning was the acquisition ol
position, power, and an easy access TO The un-
protected credit and treasure Of the State,
The irresponsibility and uncertainty OF
Legislative Judicial and Executive action
have locked up capital, paralized the enter
prise Of her people, and degraded our labor
Ing classes into tax paying serfs Of the State,
But the people, among themselves, have
accomplished that reconciliation which 1t has
been the constant purpose and actisn OF the
Radical leaders to prevent and are now unit
ing to demand at the ballot-box the restora-
lion Of their government into their own
hands. and its future administration In ac-
cordance with the principles Of Honesty, Am.

We extract his definition of the New
DEPARTURE:
On the new departure he said Now,
my friends it has been common for the
Republican party Of this country to say
that the Democrats have taken new de-
parture, and that new departure they al
iegc consists in saying that we have been
wrong and the Republicans have been
right say that there has never been
any such confession as that We are as
much opposed to what has been done as
, when we gave our votes against it. Why
if | should see a man strike another in
an unlawful and brutal manner in the
street, throttle him and knock him down.
and trcsspass on his rights, and should
see his wounds and bruises and see him
bleeding, but be compelled to say he was
down and bleeding, but who would cal
that a confession that the villain who
outraged him had done what was proper
Laughter So when these men throt
tied the constitution and ruined the peace
OF the country, when they made the
South almost as ruinous as in the midst
of war, we demonstrated and opposed
them, and now because we cannot deny
that the thing has been accomplished, be
cause that wo are compelled to admit the
fact that the reconstruction laws have
been executed, and amendments to the
constitution fastened upon us, we are
told, forsooth, that We admit that the
Radicals were right and VIC were wrong
That's logic for you.
THE rorRyEENTH AMENDMENT.
The Fourteenth amendment to the con
stitution was passed We opposed it
Why did we oppose it, Because tpro-
vided that all people in the United States
should be equal before the law? There
is not one Democrat from the Ohio river
to Canada, not one in the United STATES
who opposed it upon any such ground
That has always been the law in Ohio ;
that has always been the law in the
Northern states.
The Democrats, he said, opposed the
Fourteenth amendment, first, because OF
its dsfranchisement clause-because il
disfranchsed the men of influence, Of in
tellect, ofeducation, whose aid was most
necessary to restore peace to the South.
Second, because the language was am
biguous and was such as would enable
m ambitious president and congress to
usurp the power that belongs to the indi.
vidual States, and to overthrow every
one Of the reserved rights of the people
of the States.
