Tie Davenport Dess0crat in speak

Anti Monopoly Convention Of Ohio
says that seistor Thurman is right n
saying thata Dispersion of the Demo-

& aThe Liberal platform Adopted a
Columbus does right in declaring that
both parties have outlfved the issues
on which they have been antagonistic
and the consequence is, that the Re.
publican party, having no other issue
than the mere one Of place, power and
pelf, must die, while the high and holy
duty Of preserving republican institu-
lions, its original mission, falls back
upon the Democracy, the old Dolnoc-
racy, cleansed and cleaned OF those
adventitious issues which were thrus,
upon It, and which are now happily
eettled.h sFoea fslsA ss9eh-ga rasa'
Now that is brassy enough for a
first class rogue, The Democrat says
the Republican party has out lived the
issues, and has nothing now left but
the question Of place, power and pelf
That this being the case, the high and
holy duty Of preserving repnblicap
institutions which was the Original
mission Of Democrats, falls back upon
-4hasa t. s.--l-t =. = q1a..4- e - cay the
Democratic party, which, whnr II
power, ran the ship of State upou the
rocks Of revolution, splundered the
nation of it's resources, and handed Il
over, bound hand and foot, to traitors
is the party to perform the high and ho
ly duty OF preserving it. The thief whs
steals your horse, is the proper per
son to entrust with the keys Of your
stable, according to this theory. The
tories Of the old revolution, upon the
reasoning of the Demonut, woult
have been the proper parties to hav,
been intrusted with the care of th'
Young Republic. This il no new pol
Icy among srognes. They are th'
smoothest tongued fellows and tn,
most ,pro'ase in professions Of honest!
of all our people. A notorious baws
will with the most brazen effronter,
stalk into the society OF the good, an.
prate Justify OF chastity, morality ant
purity and the high and holy mission
of woman. The Democratic party
with the same sort Of cheek, after hav
ing drenched the country in the bloot
OF the great rebellion IN behalf Q
human slavery, talks of its high ant
holy mission to preserve republical
Institutions; that It must not disbsnd
but must live to preserve The country
for, says the Democrat: ~ s6-l iss'
"To disperse the Democratic party
which is sco.existant with the Uniof
and which must endure SO long 4
it shall exist, is simply impossible"
We are 70 suppose then, that tn
Democratic party lie determined :
live until the Onion is dissolved, an
that this is the object that party seekl
for says the Denocrat, It must endur
as long as the Union, and having mad
one attempt to provide for the deaf
Of the party by the severance of tn
Union, It win again engage IN thswor
when opportunity Offers. This, has
fact, been the chief great work Of TIL
party Ia the past fourteen years, an
because It = 90, the people lhas
spurned the party as wholly unwoethy
