editorial with the above title which in eft.
irontery and brass could not be surpassed
by Fernando Wood or Brick Pomeroy
A novice, in perusing il would be struck
with the simplicity, purity and honesty OF
the democratic party, and the ignorance,
hypocrisy and Satanic character OF the
republicans. Here Is one extract:
LET the people pause. reflect and look
upon the condition OF the country previ-
ouS 10 1861, and they viii see that ii was
the work OF Democratic hands. The
condition of the country since 1861 is the
work of RadicaliSm. At This time the
