The Atlanta Constitution sustaining the
views reiterated by Gen. Gordon in Charles
ton, says: "Let US recognize that the true
mission of the Democratic party, as an oppo-
sition party is to overthrow the corrupt, de-
bauched and dishonest party in power, to re-
store the government to the hands of true
patriots and honest men, and bring back the
characteristics of the good old republic in the
days when Democracy in America was truly
government by and for the people, Keep
the record of Radicalism before the people,
and in future contests of the parties honest
men will not hesitate to repudiate and punish
the men who made it."
