by the government in the hour of
danger. But such action on the part of
individuals WAS in spite of, and not in
consequence of, the teachings of their
party. As Il party organization the
democratic party not only laid the
foundation for the rebellion, by its false
doctrines and teachings, but its record
throughout the war does not show Il
single act of hearty or cheerful support
of the government in its struggle for
self-preservatiOn.
While the war was fragrant. the dem
ocratic party assembled in convention
at Chicago to nominate Il candidate for
the presidency, and there deliberately
declared the war for the Union failure.
BY this act 1t gave encouragement and
fresh hope to the rebels in arms, and,
so far as its power and influence ex-
tended, discouraged the patriotic pur-
pose of the people to suppress the re
bellion. at all hazards and at whatever
cost. The fact that individuals per
formed their duty Loyalty and well,
Notwithstanding their connection with
the party which gave expression to
such unpatriotic views, is greatly tn the
credit of themselves as citizens, but
does not relieve the party, as such, from
the charge of dislOyalty and false teach
ing. The leaders of that party, the
men who actually did, or, by reason of
their position in the party, had the
power to, shape its policy and control
ITS actlonS,-are responsible before the
country for the inception of the re-
bellion and for the prolongation of the
war.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-The pot
pro o se1 and the scheme that is now pleasing
10 tie w hite House ring is this: In case Ohio
is carried Uy the Democrats at the approach
ing state election, Hayess name is TO he with
drawn. IL being demonstrated that he cannot
carry his own State a change must be made
at the head of the ticEet or all is Iost. This
being done, who can rally all the elements OF
strength in the party aud win victory in the
face o. defeat? Who but Ulysses y. Grant?
Chandler eXultingly points 10 the fact that
every kepuDucan convention of the year has
warmly and cordially indorsed Grants ad-
minlsJratlon. Nearly one hundred thousand
Ofhc holders would rejoice at the change.
Butler anu B aine pledge every state for i'm
except connecticut, and with the remnant of
the army now IN the Indian country judic-
1ously placed in the south, enough southern
states could be controlled to insure the guc-
cess OF the plot. AS a preliminary movement
IN the bold and desperate move on the pollti-
cal chess board, Chandler is to arrange with
several prominent Republican organs in diff
ferent parts OF the country 10 Immediately de-
mand The substitution of Grant for Hayes
should the Ohio and Indiana elections prove
disastrous.
