tlroly ignored the forces to carry it out. Thoy

Aouo ~ tuls Pnaso OF lnoQofn 1t8puDllcah1en lof

fectual remedy because Of disliko to the conso-
quence OF Democratic ascendency, and of fond
and lingering hope that the party would correct
itself without the necessity Of such harsh dlscl

tesled onco too ofton has been put to too &c.

Heedlcns OF all other consequence tho DAMNED

and IN one resi1tle8R rush sweeps ButlcrtBm, and

NEsuLTs OF DEMocNATit AscENDENQY,
| From The Pforsdenee tA. ~ journal.
| No entortain no reasonable doubt that the az
cendency Of the Democratic party in tlle Nation
/ al Government would DO substantially recon-
| struotion Oh tho principles that vern put down
by the war; that tho African raco would be ro-
niitted to condition little different u practice
from tlnt Of slavery, and their right Of suffrage
would DO only 40 many yotes to their former
mastots and their present opprossors; that an
forco that could moi be resisted for tho refund-
| lug OF the cotton tux, not OF course to tho men
who really paid it. but to the planters and mer-
chants who advanced it and added 1t to the price
| demand. with equal forco, for commissary and
quartermastor stores supplied by the rebel States
( during tho war; aud then for other peouaiary
indennties to those who suffered in canse that
they believed to bo right theu, and thar they be-
liovo to bo right now, md for their part in which
| they regret nothing but tie failure.
=. It IL equally plain to uH that groat financial
! disastcr, other than that flowing directly from
| tiieBo and similar measures would follow
Democratic ascendenny, such as tic imitation Of
the clrronoy, tho depression Of tho public credit
which has already suffered in tho monoy -markols
| OF Europe in consequence OF Domooratic VIC
tories. Aud because we believe all this, md bo-
| ca.lso it sooms 10 plain to US that no ono eau
fail to EGO it, TO do not think that tho peoplo OF
this country Mill peril all tho results of tho war
| by giving the Government into tho hands OF tho
mon who attempted TO overthrow it. aud Who
haYo relaxed no1hing Of their hostility to 1t.
| nothing OF their earnest hope md endoavor to
| destroy it, We believe that tho Republican
| party, gathering wislom from this disaster, will
unite III an olrurs tlat cannot fail to repair it;
that aroused by tho great danger OF tho country,
