with the false declaration that the Democratic
party is demoralized, has no strength or hold
on the people and that this was proven by the
last Presidential election. This is not true,
however much the Union may hope it is.
The candidates Of the Democracy received a
majority of the white votes of the United
States for President last Fall. and if those
who were with them at heart like the Union
Greeley would have been elected To de-
nonnce party as out Of existence that with
in few davs has defeated the election of a
Republican Governor of New Hampshire by
the people, and did the same in Rhode Island
with the Lieutenant Governor, and now has
carried Connecticut, State officers and Legis-
lature, electing the Governor by a plurality
of over 300. and a majority over all oppo
sition of nearly 4 900; and one whose organ
izat;ons are complete and healthy, embracing
nearly half the people Of the country, in the
nation and every State and county in the
Union, is an outrage against history and
fact, and one lily calculated to lead to fra
termination of the honest political elements of
the country. The Union fought with and
Tor the monopolies or Republicans (Which is
the same thing) until they have got a fast
hold on the money, patronage and all the
vanous clements in the country, including
the entire organization of its party, and while
this was going on the Democracy were fsht
ing it with gallantry unequaled since the
Revolution; and now the Union seeing the
wrought, leaves is party with disgust, and
denounces even those who labored to stay
the tide of destruction it was making. as de
moralized and ruined The Union has la
bored for this result but it has failed. WHY
does the Union assert that the World and
Chicago Times are Democratic p,pers of
great influence, when it knows or ought to
know that the influence of both these papers
