1t ought never to be forgotten that the
Democratic party of the United States
Senate has determined, on its extraordina-
ry course of interfering with the action of
a committee in the interest of that bloody
wretch, NJ c. Butler, of South Carolina.
The white Leaguers Of that State chose to
fling the insult in the face Of the Senate
and the nation by conferring on the mur-
derer the Senatorial dignity; and the Dem
ocratic party chooses to become a partner
in the crime and the shame by admitting
this man, Of most Infamous memory, to a
seat in the Senate. The Democratic par
ty of the North has been wont to deny all
part or lot in those atrocities that darkeu
our annals and shame our age; but now,
that the trial of temper has come and the
sincerity of their profession is put to the
test. they go out of their way to interrupt
the regular action Of a Senate Committee
to honor representative of the White
League, who is morally and legally
responsible for the deaths of a dozen
unotfending negroes. In the presence OF a
contemplated assault on our National hon
or, like this all subordinate question Of
policy. appointments and finance sink in
to insignifcance The Democratic party
of the Senate is striking at the good name
of the United States and aiming blow ia
tai at the peace of the Nation; and there
is no room for differences among Republi-
cans and no treatment fitting the Democ-
racy, but Outspoken and unqualified con-
demnation.

was bitterly disappointed at the result of
the Protracted struggle for partisan SUI
