Democrats and to elect GRAs defeat tue
Democratic party, now endeaYofing IN Tue me
only practical mode to iibefate Che country
| nom the tynsnny of arbitrary power and the
abuses and corruptions of incompetency anu
dishonesty. They thus throw Off all the
high obligations of party and personal reia-
tons and co5perate with thearbitrary GRANT
Administration, cndeavoring to prolong its
tyranny, its expressions of southern
whites, and its eXaltation of the negro
above the white man in the favor Of the
Government and at tue polls. Stand upon
their own platforms and run their own can
didates or not, it is all one. They would act
far more honorably by supporting GRANT
right out. In either event they go with the
carpet-baggers and negroes against their OPP
pressed brethren and against the resurrec-
ton of the country from misgovernment and
against the establishment of local State
authority and harmony and fraternity of the
sections.
This sclooner-ioad of madmen and knaves
cannot get vote in the Union for their
nominee if they present one. Their talk
about running in man between GREELEY
and GRANT is rs idle as the rawlings OF
maniac in the lunatic asylum. They display
an unparalleled efrontery in keeping up
even q show of organization with their con.
temptibe numbers. They can have not the
slightest hope of achieving any straiShtlor-
ward object Their scheme is sinister, in
tended to hurt and cripple their frlends-a
trick by indrection, which reflects no credit
upon men who claim all the honesty and all
the virtue in politics.
DUNCAN, who has been elevated to the dig
nifty of an interviewed gentleman, declared
that he and the people who acted with him
"wanted to show" the Democrats "that it
is impossible for them to elect GREELEY y;
and then, said he, "the Democrats will come
back to u.s." That is very cool, isn't it. In
doing this they elect GRANT and what will
be their reward? But the idea that the
Democratic party will ever go over to BLAN-
TON DUSCAN's and BRICK PoMERoY's band of
played-ollt dreamcrs and knaveS is more alb
surd than anything else they have uttered.
If the allied army now trying to save the
Union and true Republicanism is beaten the
Democratic party will be hopelessly scattered,
not again to appear in the field. Such an
event, if it occurs, will be in part caused by
these straight-outs, who will be ever after
condemned and driven to political isolation
as comlortless and cherries as the north pole.
They are working very tremendously with
the GRANT party. We find this paragraph
in the letter of Il reliable Washington CORE
spondcnt:
The, Administration Committee in this
city were engaged to-day in sending out
$4,000 copies of the circulars Of Blanton Dun
cln to the straight Democrats, under the
frank of Senators Harlan, Logan, and Repre-
sentatives Hays and Plat, of Virginia. The
work was conducted very secretly, and when
asked if such was the case it was denied by
those in charge. They were sent to post
masters and internal revenue officers through
out the United States.
This is all right The boilers arc GRANT
men, working for the SUCCESS of the Radical
party. 1t is well to call attention to their
shallow pretences and their real objects.
As they are better understood, the tail
will fall away until it will be driven, from
shame, if that be possible, to hide itself.
1t is by all odds the smallest band of trouble
making cyclists that ever appeared in this
country, and its members will incur Il degree
of public odium that never before in this
country fellupon men for their political con-
duct
