pies of Democracy are self-sustaining.
The Republican party embraced the
Democratic principles, and ran well
for season. but now they have got
out of the channel and have brought
up on q snag, and 1t will depend on

they get safely off.
The returns from that august body.
the so-called Democrats, at first lead
me TO rejoice. was awakened out of
sleep about midnight by the report of
cannon. The cocks cr0wel, the birds
sang. the stars shone bright, and was
almost led to believe that the party had
dug from the dry bones near where
DR.. Livingstone has lately been dis
covered that which they could mould
and fashion into subject which, put
in nomination, would oust Grant;
when, to my sad disappointment, the
dogs began to bark. the hounds llowled,
the owls hO0ted, the lizards and cop
perllead snakes crawled from their
dens (which can be proven the horses

then l knew all was gone, and | sat
me down and wept. A dispatch came
stating that they had endorsed the
nomination of that contemplate black
abolitionist, Horace Greeley, who was
among the first to lead the band which
would destroy not only our present
domestic happiness, hut Of that Of
generations to come, should any exist
after the present.
What are the facts in the case? The
spirit Of abolitionism continuing, the
rebellion followed. This resulted in
the destruction Of property, the separl-
ton of husbands and wives, parents
and children. widows and orphans;
wives and daughters were ravished,
and worst Of oil, thousands of lives
were sacrificed. Then to increase the
sufferings Of the South, the Northern
Democrats arose en- masse. and, by
showing sympathy for the South, pro-
longed the war, thus sacrificing thou
sands of lives more. Finally the
South surrendered. The next thing
sought for was balm to heal the
wound. It was sought for in the per-
son of Abraham Lincoln. After being
duly elected he began performing the
duties of his office. THEN the Demo-
crats held a secret meeting and passed
the following resolutions:
| lst. Resolred. That the present con
dition of our country requires that we
discard the tnie principles of Democ-
raey requiring the minority to submit
peaceably and quietly to the majority.
| ID. Resolred. That in order to effect
the object in view we must make some
disposition of the present incrmbcnts.
81. BE it further Re~lred. That we
take the lives of Lincoln and Seward,
and more If necessary.
| The time being fixed for the execu-
tion, aud arrangements, all being
made. the meeting adjourned. After
they had accomplished a part of their
hellish purpose. the next thing was to
fill the place of Lincoln. They select
ed Mr.. Seymour, of New York, and
+. p. Blair, of Missouri. as candidates
for President and Vice President. The
Republican party selected U. S. Grant
and S. Colfix. Then the conflict
was again renewed. They dared not
undertake to assassinate a man who
was ready to face thousands of South
erners, who but a short time before
boasted that one Southerner could whip
ten N0rtherners. That had proven
all CANNON. Now they are very
anxious to get rid Of Grant, what is
the reason? Why he tries to execute
the laws passed by Congress, gives his
relatives and friends offices, and steals
from the Government. Bit this is not
the greatest reason. 1t Is because the
Constitution don't provide teats for all
the carpet-haggers to suck.
But now IL the time OF great rejoic-
ing. They have nominated a man
with tle most hbeTm principles on. re-
cord. They have passed resolutions
that at their first session they will legal
ize all acts and parts of acts making 1t
legal to amalgamate more extensively
than in the days Of yore, when slavery
was In full blast, to take effect from
and after the tenth Of July, 1872.
