nearly numbered-that it will DO tho very
next Of our heavy war burdens removed"
l ask any candid man to look |
back over this picture, and imagine |
what would have been the condition
of the country had Horace Greeley
been President then.
In case of war how the country
could have relied upon him! What
a beautiful commander-in-chief of
the army and navy he would have
made!
WHAT H. G. KNOWS ABOUT DEMOCRATS.
In the management of our finan-
cial affairs what steady hand he
would have applied. AS Conkling
has it, "In case of a storm next to
going sea in awash-tub what
would be so safe as the administra-
ton of such a man."
How beautifully he deals with his
late opponents and present support
ers. Here are few specimens that
viii be especially interesting to
Democrats; 1 commend them to
their prayerful consideration. They
fully illustrate what he knows about
them.
Every one who chooses to live by pugilism
or gambling or harlotry, with nearly every
keeper Of tippling house, is politically De-
mOcrat
II there were not newspaper nor common
school In the country, the Democratic party
would be far stronger than it is
The essential articles of the Democratic
creed (are) love rum and hate niggers. The
less one learns and knows the more certain he
is to vote the regular ticket from A to Lizard.
We thereupon ask our contemporary to
state frankly whether the pugilsts, blacklegs,
thieves, burglars, keepers Of dens of proshtu-
ton, ETC., etc-Care not almost unanimously
Democrats.
To smoke is Democratic virtue; TO chew is
that virtue intensified; to drink rum is that
virtue IN the superlative.
A purely selfish interest attaches the lewd,
ruthanly, criminal and dangerous classes to
the Democratic party
This would amount to six In q bed, exciu-
s1ye OF any other vermin, for every Democrat
ic couch IN the State of New York, including
those at Sing Sing and Auburn.
All do know that there are several hundred
thousand mulattoes in the country; and we
presume no one has any serious doubt that the
fathers of at least nire-tenths OF them are
white Democrats And we hold that those
Democrats, if they will have yellow children,
might better than otherwise have the mothers
respectfully as wives, after the laudable pat
tern of that eminent Democrat, Vice Presl-
dent Richard NJ. johnson.
The brain, the heart, the soul of the Demo
cratic party is the rebel element at the South
with its Northern allies and sympathizers. Il
is rebel at the core to-day. 1t would chime in
to power with the hate, the chsgrin, the
wrath, the modification of ten bitter years to
impel and guide its steps-Whatever chastlse-
ment may be deserved for our national sins
we must hope that this disgrace and humilia-
ton be spared US.
For the last thirty years, every American
STAKEHOLDER on the African coast, has account
ed himself IN politics Democrat. So every
one who chooses to i've by pugiism, or gam
bling, or harlotry, with every keeper Of tip
pling house, is politically Democrat. He be-
fieves In "laissez faire"-that the world is gov.
erned too much-that the best government Il
that which governs least. He wants this trade
to move without restriction He ioyfully sub
scribes to the World, and echoes its cry. lie
the people eat, drink and amuse themselves a
they see fit, SO long as they do not infringe OF
the same liberty in others"
Our Democratic brethren mus
! have digestion equal to an anacon
da, if they can swallow this dos,
without producing severe nausea an(
death. Hc
And now, finally, in signing the
call for the Cincinnati Free Trad,
Reform Convention, he turned hi
, back on the only principle of promi
nence that he has advocated consist
emily, and of which he had not be
fore taken both sides.
I ask candid, thinking men tC
study these pictures.
How any sensible men in Their
light, patent to any one, can fail tc
support Gen. Gront and the Repub-
lican party is past all human com
prehension, understanding or be.
