DEMAGoeIsM.-If the ex-Confederste SOL
dicrs should band together uodor the name of
the "Boys 10 Gray to supper, the democratic
ticket, and appeal to the memories Of the late
war TO advance their purpose, We think such q
trick would cause disgust among the better
men of all parties. 1t would certainly damage
the prospects OF that ticket 10 the North. We
do not believe that the Veteran National Com
mittee, of which ex Gov. DIX is president, will
make many votes for the republican candidates
among rejecting, judicious clt'zeDs, by calling
on those who fought for the Union to organize
for the Presidential campaign as the boys 10
Blue" stirring up their sectional feelings by
reference to their prlvations and suferngs at
the South, their 'tortures' iu prsou, &c. &c.
No candid mau will approve of the statement
Involved in this phrase -"Organize now to re-
pel treason seekiug the life Of your Government
by insidious mt ans" Something may be ex
eused to the excltements OF Presldentlal cleo
uonecring but there is 90 excuse tor such un
founded wautou and mischief makiog asser-
tsoos as these. They are directly calculated TO
perpetuate whatever little alleuatlon remains
between the men of the North and South
Those who utter hem are enemies to the peace
aod happiness of the Union. This piece OF
pure demagogi>m will recoI upon its Inventors.
Intelligent people bave seen too much iraterni-
zaiou going on between the real soldiers of the
TWO sections to take auy stock in this pew
attempt to revive 81 c'ional animoslties. es.-Neao
