FACTS TO he REMEMBERED by
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Opinion, whether Right or wrong
Rules the World.

Edit0r Rutland Globe To illustrate ;
the democratic party firmly believes that
slavery is a divine and democratic nstitu-
tuition and should rule in the councils Of the
nation this is their opinion. Spain be-
lieyes that monarchy is divine inslitu-
ton, and the only kind of government suit
ed to the wants of Spain. This is the opin-
ion of Spain, and both long and banker for
supremacy of their respective institutions
and opinions, and will never be persuaded
to the contrary while life with them shall
last. !" 1t il bred in the bone and will stay
long in the flesh" 1t is written a leopard
cannot change his spots, neither can an
Ethiopian change his skin, and it might as
well be written "neither will white league
democrat change his opinion that slavery is
the corner stone of the American republic"
and of late rudely pushed out of position.
once thought differently, but having been
told by many Southern men about to leave
the South forever for a residence in the
Northern states, that the democratic party
would not give up slavery or the subjuga-
ton of the colored people in some form,
l should live, and the subsequent con-
duct of the ku klux khan, white league
banditti and the while democratic party
sustaining all their crimes and crueltes and
becoming accessories before and after the
fact, in all their wickedness and "pure
cussedness," have changed my views, and
now believe that the great mission of the
republican party is to educate the people
and create sound, healthy, intellectual
moral, religious and political opinion in the
United States concerning the doctrines of
the constitution. Let your watchword and
great central motive be to educate the
American people. To this end you must

schools when the ku klux and white league
democrats meet for instruction and practice;
and if need be your Sunday schools.
Some persons may think that our voters
do not need an education. We have more
than two millions of voters in the United
States who cannot read the Declaration of
Independence, or write the Lords prayer,
to save their lives, and the great majority
belong to the democratic party, and who.
if educated, will make good republicans,
otherwise they will remain democrats.
1t will not do to trust in speeches, pro-
fessions or platforms, but find out the
character of any and every party by its
acts, likes, dislikes and opinions. This
proverb will apply to white league democ-
racy who are now willing to rule the United
States since they were not able to destroy

The rebellion was inaugurated to perpetu-
ate slavery. No rebel in the democratic party
has ever manifested any repentance or sor-
row for his traitOrous acts All democrats
thoroughly hate General Longstreet, the
bravest of the brave, and men like him who
have left the rebels and joined the republi-
can party, and they are hated with the ma
lightly of devils by rebels, and are vilified
and insulted to an extent and power of all
languages known to the white league demo-
cratic party. This shows their opinion of
treason and what we call patriotism to the
United States, than patriotism is lavished
on the cause of the Confederate States,
which they hope is not dead but sleep
eth. The confederate democracy of to-day
teach their subjects to hate such anti-war
democrats as Grant, Sherman, Thomas,
Butler, Sheridan and others who in dis.

Trust no party with bad antecedents I'M

makes fair promises but never tullfls.
Find out the opinion of every man or
party before you trust them, and above all,
create healthy, patriotic public opinion in
favor of the Union, liberty and equality.
