The Old Liners in Line.

Below we publish the circular issued
by the Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the Old Line Democratic par
ty. These are they who refused to sell
the political body and soul of Jefferson
and Jackson for a mess of croso.
The Anti Greeley Movement---A circu-
lar Address.
LOUISVILLE, August THE follow
ing circular addressed has been issued
by the Democratic Executive Commit
tee:
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 6, 1872.
DEAR SIR; Will you be kind enough
to place this circular in the hands of an
active Democrat in your county, who
will at once commence an organization
for the purpose of supporting the prin-
ciples of our party as they will be pro-
claimed by the Convention at Louisville,
Sept. Sd. The utter abandonment of
principles as evinced by the coalition,
in their attempt to elevate Horace Gree
ley to the Presidency, is sad evidence
of the Generalization and corruption
now existing in our midst, and based as
that bargain is upon fraud and hypOe-
risy, the utterance of one set of senti-
ments in the North and another in the
South, If must be repudiated and spurn-
ed by every man who has
A SPARK OF HONESTY
in his heart. There are hundreds of
thousands who now already proclaim
their purpose of maintaining the Dem
ocratic organization at all hazards. The
disintegration of the Radical party into
txryr f.,n thof
the Democratic messes can elect one of
their own faith instead of a life enemy
like Greeley, who still loudly asserts
that he has never abandoned his princi-
Piles, and points proudly yet to his rec
ord. And such record, Can Demo-
Gratis who have boasted that they sup
port principles, not men, agree to falsi-
fly their past life by clasping hands with
the worst men of the Radical party,
Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull, Fenton, and
the other leaders who rally around
Greeley, and would control his admin
istration if his election can be secured?
Who are the men that thus seek for the
highest honors and emoluments of this
country, and who have obtained the
support of trading politicians of the
Tammany school by promise of
DIVIDING THE SPOILS?
Without exception they are the big
OTIS whose bitterness has been eyinced
of their opponents: They are the men
who have uttered the most unchristian,
the most ferocious, the most villainous
sentiments about and against Southern
people, women and children, as well as
men during the war, and who have
done most TO develope and pass that leg
islation since the war which true Dem
ocrats denounce as subversive of hber-
ty and against the spirit of our instltu-
tions. They are the men who have riv-
eted the South in chains and burdened
it with increased debts, the proceeds of
which have gone into the pockets of the
select few who have fatted upon the
of the people, and who turn
to the new ring and Tammany alliance
i'm order to still further enrich Them
selves.
The interests of the white race, that
vast majority of our citizens who gain
their living by the sweat of the brow,
have been willfully neglected, and their
Just claims ignored. Demagogues have
excited the passions of the ignorant, and
politicians have secured services with
out any return. 1t should be
THE DUTY OF OUR PARTY
to wisely legislate for the benefit of the
classes, educating, eleyating
and ameliorating their condition, reject
ing and refuting the fanatical doctrines
taught by professed friends who yet are
their worst enemies. and by demonstrate
ing that we are their firm friends and
faithful in our professions secure their
powerful cooperation in support of law
and order, integrity in every sphere of
society, a restoration of fraternal feel
between the people of the States, and
under the Constitution truly
and justly executed.
The Committee recommend the imme-
late appointment in every county of
of five or more, the Chair
nan of which shall constitute District
Committees; that Congressional Dis
,rict Conventions shall be assembled on
Dr. before the 25th of August, and select
two delegates and two alternates from
Zach district, and that full delegations
from each State shall certainly be pres
,nt on the Sd of September. Cores
DOndence from true Democrats solicited
rom every county.
For the Executive Committee.
