READ! PONDER! REFLECT!

The following article was published in
the New York World, the leading Dem
ocratic paper OF the country, in its issue
OF October Doth. The candOr of the
World in giving to the public matter so
pfejudical to its party is in striking con-
tTsst with the course Of the ordinary par
ti5sn journals, and even Of many that
claim 70 be independent:
IL stands out boldly that Democratic success
| in one section lies over the dead bodies and
| through the blood OF Republicans, at the
| sacrifice of the sanctity OF the ballot-box, and
| the prestration of all that constitutes repub-
| lican institutions, and, in the other, gross hy-
pocrisy, bold denials of truth, and IN the
| power or MOrrissey, Kelly, and o. Brien over
| the TOughs and repesteFs OF New York. II, in
| could be suppressed, and we could
| have there peace, fair election,
city the power OF Morrissey, Kelly and
| O'Brien over the rOughs and repeaters were
| broken, the democratic party would be with
| out hope, without vitality, and almost, II not
wholly, without organization. Indeed, in the
| absence Otthese supports &c would cease to eX-
| iSt as political body. With these it menaces
| the country with dangers Of which few seem
/ to be conscious. In 1851 even the assault upon
| and capture OF Fort Sumter failed to arouse
/ the people to the reality of treason. 1t was
/ only after the disaster of Bull Run that the
| country was startled into q belief in the real
purposes of southern Democrats. The de-
mails, explanations, and protests OF the actual
u aitOrs, repeated and asserted by their allies
| in the north served then to deceive and pacify
the lOyalras the same system Oflies and hypOc-
r1sy serve now to impose upon hundreds and
thousands OF all parties, and thus, now as
then, cloud their judgment and stay their
action. With full comprehension Of the
import OF our words, and profound conv1c
ton OF their truth, we declare to our country
men that in this, our first centennial, there
1mpendS over the nation dangers greater
aud more imminent than in 1850, The people
did not believe then-they do not nov
and their disbelief, II not criminal credulity,

allies, who are listened to now as they were
before and during the war for the Union. In
TRUTH this canvass is conducted in the very
presence OF actual war. AS VIII be under
stood, the Democratic plan is to carry
''solld SOUTH" Only the simple and willingly
SToGsS the Are all Of n Ths 9 and
O'Brten in the north, with their rOughs and
repeaters, they hope 10 add to 'solid south"
votes enough to elect their ticket. But sup
pose the Democrats secure solid south" and
lack a few votes only of majority. Here lies
one source Of danger. Democratic house
will not want an excuse TO throw out enough
Republican votes either to declare their own
candidate elected, or else that the house Will
proceed to elect Tilden and Hendricks. To
sustain this usurpation the south is ready.
A southern army could be prepared to march
in one hour after the signal, and in forty
eight hours the chosen portion could be in
the national capital, and the whole could be
within supporting distance within week.
But suppose the choice depends upon the
vote of Mississippi or South Carolina, secured
to the Democratic juggernaut by violence
and fraud. What then2 Only this Ameri-

New York World is C, ncerned, yet de-
siTOus Of being able y so by suthori-
ty Of the conductors of that paper, we
telegrsphed to them, and yesterday re-
csived the following answer:
To the Editors of the Appeal:
NEW YORK, October 31.-The follow
ing appeared in the World to-day:
From all quarters Of the south we re-
ceive news Of the circulation there Of a
campaign sheet purporting to contain
such an article from the World Of Octo-
bar Goth as we do not remember to have
met with even in the campaign supple
ments of the leading Morgan organ Of
this city. 1t ought to be needless for US
to say that the thing is bold and brszen
forgery. Nothing resembling it ever
appeared in the World; it is lie out OF
the whole cloth, and it is disgusting to
be obliged to add that it seems to have
originated with Republican bureau Of
information for the religious press at
Washington. MANAGER WORLD"
This is sample of the lies with which
the country is just now being flooded,
and upon which the doubly-dyed infa-
mcus Radical liars (thus confessing their
weakness in Iegit' mate warfare) hope
to win, Their case is hopeless-it is
gone beyond recovery. They are dead
before the people, and not even false
hood will avail them; nay, not even
when coined as the GOd.and. d.mOrslity
headquarters at Washington. The
south is not armed against the Federal
government, does not contemplate
war with it, even as remotely possible
Or probable contingency, and seeks
nothing so much as pesce and political
repose, with view to the Omplete res
torstion Of her nId-tirls prosperity.
