SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY STICKS TO TAN

We have shown that Southern d.
mocracy has taken up Tilden, ga Hebre'

financier to the smaller craft of Connect
cut. In like manner Southern Democ
racy has supported Seymour, native Q
the Nutmeg State, and has cast its vot
for temperance vegetarian, and ne
publican, native of Vermont.
The sacrifice of prejudices would in
terest patriotic desire to extinguish tn
hostilities of sectional and religious preju
dice, were it not accompanied with de
nunciation of every Northern man on th
Republican side, with the united anti
Protestant vote for everything callet

phase Of free opinion, that such an in
diligence shall be granted to those calling
themselves Democrats, while exactly th'
same opinions expressed by those who cal
themselves Republicans, should be visited

imagine. Was New York the friend Of
the South in the war? She sent, person.
ally or by substitute, one hundred and
twenty thousand men into the war; she
furnished three billions of dollars in cash
or credit to fight the war. Belmont, the
great Democratic State rights banker;
Schell, the State rights Democratic stock
broker of New York, made their millions
out of Southern subjngation, and now
come forward to demand control Of the
federal treasury. The steamships of
George Law and Vanderbilt and the gen.
eral commercial marine of New York
brought immigrants and military sup.
plies, while her daily papers, the Herald,
the Tribune, the World and the Times,
spread throughout Europe the most favor
able reports of the Union cause, and diff
fused throughout the entire federal camp
and country exhortations to wage the war,
with every possible encouragement that
correspondents and spies could furnish.
The agency of New York in running the
blockade and in exchanging necessary
supplies surreptitiously against cotton
has been made extensively known through
published testimony III the courts. Both

Has there ever been seen anything in
political history equal to this degrada-
ion? 1t can only be explained by the

purchase his support in the next case in
which the wrongdoer may be indicted.
The politicians of Tammany Hall, New
FORK, have been the most corrupt ever
znown in America. With them originated |
he infamous maxim, "1'o the victors be- |
