2. Charges the Democratic party with
| being the same in character and spirit as
when it was sympathiziDg with treason;
with making it's control Of the House Of
Representatives the triumph and the op-
portunity Of the nations recent foes;
with re-asserting and applauding, in the
National Capitol, the sentiments Of unre-
pentant rebellion; with sending Union
soldiers TO the front; with proposing re-
pudiation; with being impotent in the
financial question; with thwartiug jus
tice for partisan ends; with the obstruc-
ton Of investigation in tho lower House,
proving itself utterly incompetent to ad-
minister the government; and we warn
the country against trusting party alike
unworthy, recreant and incapable.

rection of the government should not pass
into the hands that sought to distroy it,
and who seek pure, and economical gov
ernment by honest and capable officers, TO

coDsiderate cooperation for the promotion
Of these ends.

esty and treachery of every official who 10
