THE pEMooRAT1o CoNspIRAQY,
In tho matluess which ruled tho Demo-
critic party inst preceding the Rebellion, the
widest md most irrational of oil the mon Of
that day wore tho Democrats in Congress
from tho Northorn. States. Tho South had
for some ycara controlled tho Doinocratio
party. The South III Congress- WAS practio-
ally unit, aud controlling tho majority in
caoh branch Of Congress, md controlled also
tho President aud hts Cabinet. Tho North
ern Democrats In Congress- were literally tho
slaves Of thoso who represented the superior
race. The South had no more wortly cham
pions and defenders than were furnished by
tho Democrats OF pannsylVaiiia, b1aasachn-
setta. and Indiana. At the Oharloston Con-
vantion, which was tho preliminary
6triko for secession and rubollion, the
Northern Democrats were tho strongest
advocates Of union Of tho "Solid South"
lind It not boon For those, it is probable the
1tobellion would not have been attempted;
itwas the hope md confltiont expectation Of
a aividatl North that induced those men to
plnDgo tho nntion into civil war. Tic
South, warned by that precedent, ought mt
to bo deceived at this time. FERNANDO
WooD held out falso expectations to tho
South III 1860; 10 Is doiug the Same now.
Tic Pennsylvania, Indiana. Now Jeraoy, and
Ohio Democrats ta1ca Threatened, in oaso of
wnr, that tito Republicaas would aud "a flro
in tho rear If they attempted to coarce
sovereign State. These same mon nre
now urging this sn,ne "Solid South !" to
push on their aggrcssions, to: starye the
Government, to reduce tho Executive to n
nonontaty, to abolish the nrmy, nnd "ropoa1
every voslige Of tho legislation OF the war"
