WHY BOB INGERsoLL OPPOSES THE DEMocRArs.-I am opposed to the demo- cratic party, and will tell you why: Eve ry state that seeded from the United States was democratic state. Every or dinance of secession that was drawn was drawn by a democrat. Every man that endeavored to tear the old flag from the heaven that it enrlches was a democrat. Every man that tried to destroy this na- tion was a democrat. Every man that shot Union soldiers was democrat Eve " man that starved Union soldiers and refused them in the extremity of death a crust, was democrat. Every man that loved slavery better than liberty was g democrat. The man that assassinated Lincoln was democrat. Every man that sympathised with the assassin-every man glad that the noblest President ever elect ed was assassinated-was democrat.
