In admiration of the character of

our acquaintance In whose integrity and
honor-in whose worthiness for any re-

profound respect; and we know--for

constituents more OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

some men, but he has what Is better than
orilliancy-an even-balanced character,
backed by rare common sense, and hon

wastes none of It's time BY approaching
him.
In letter to us, written some time ago,

HON. WIN. J. ALIENS ORGAN.

The Cairo Gazette does not understand

do SO because we believe 1t Is. The judge,
being q gentleman OF political aspirations.
has we know desired the establishment
Of Democratic journal at Carbondale,
and we have reason to believe enc0ur-
aged Mr.. Bell Irwin to commence the
publication Of the Democrat.
TO cast doubt upon our information
concerning the organising of the Demo

ical article of that Journal. "while,"
says the Gazette, "ths good word the cdi-

'our public debt was contracted In wag-
ing a fanarical war against the rights
and institutions Of the South, can but
excite his severest condemnation as 1t
'does that Of every other Democrat
who favored prosecution Of the war"
Evidently the impression the Gazette
desires to make Is, that the Democrat has
denounced the war for the Union as q
a fanatical war-has declared that the
national debt was incurred In a wrongful
attempt to prevent secession and for the
improper purpose of depriving the South
ern States Of the institution of slavery.
II this Is the position of the Democrat

We have listened in vain to hear

Era Riinoisa,,, the editor Of the Demo.
Graf, In an article Of much eloqience, ex.
planned why he had left the Republican
party and become Democrat. In that
article he said: "The people are being
almost taxed to death In order to pay of
a gigantic debt piled up by carrying on
"a fanatical war wagcd against the rights
and local institutions of the SOUTH"
Every person will at once perceive that
the "ianatical war" referred to in this
sentence Is the political war now being
wagcd by the Republican party against
the rights and local institutions of the
Southern States-against their right to
be unawed by the bayonet in time of
profound peace, against their right of
self-government under the constitution
and the laws Of the Union, against their
right to enjoy the bless.
ings OF life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. That slavery
was meant by the use of the words "local
institutions of the South" no one can
truthfully assert. Slavery was local in-
stitution, but the Democrat speaks of in
stitutions, and evidently meant to refer to
the political institutions of the Southern
States-their executive, Legislative and ju-
dicial departments, against which, as In
the cases of Louisiana and Arkansas, very
violent, AMI indeed we may truthfully
say, fanatical war has been waged by the
Republican party. In this way-by its
Southern policy,-which the Democrat in
its fanciful but forcible style calls "fanat-
'ical war waged against the rights and
local institutions Of the South,"-
a gigantic debt has been piled up,
to pay which the people are being
almost taxed to death. This is what the
Democrat, Judge Aliens home organ,
said. What purpose the Gasctte can
have In seeking to twist so forcible and
eloquent a:charge against Republicanism
into an attack upon the war for the
Union, into an assertion of the right Of
secession, into a regret for the downfall
of slavery, we are unable even to sur
misc.
