The northern democratic papers
are putting on airs since the COM
mencement Of the extra session of
congress, when they find the demo-
crazy in majority in both branch
es. AS a specimen brick, the fol-
lowing may be quoted from the
Okolona (Miss) st les:
Yes, thank God, we have captured the
capitol, and in 1880 our man will walk up
the White House steps and take his seat
in the Presidential chair.
Then will our glorious triumph be com
plete.
Then will we proceed to tear your
amendments from the constitution and
trample hem in the mire.
Then will we break the shackles you
have forged for Free, Sovereign, and In
dependent Commonwealths of the Union.
Then will we recognize the right of
secession right that is not dead, but
sleeping.
Then will we decorate the Capitol with
the pictures Of Davis, Lee, and Stuart,
and all the glorious leaders of a Cause
that is not lost, but living still
Yes, thank God, we HAVE captured
the Capitol aud from that coigne of van
tage we propose to rule the Republic in
a way that will make your Radical laws
and your Radica leaders forever odious
in America.
Many northern democrats, of
course, try to laugh this kind Of
talk down as the froth and fury
of some crazy fellow who repre-
sents nobody but himself, but there
is too much reason to believe that
he is simply telling the truth. Look
at the organization of the senate
and house of representatives. Near
ly all the employees are from the
souths nd are eX-confedel ate SOL
diers. Out of fwenty-nine Senate
committees, the Southerners have
twenty, and nineteen out of twenty
were rebel officers. Gen. Withers,
who commanded the rebel prison
at Danville, Va, during the war,
and who achieved an unenviable
notority as cruel tyrant, is act.
lily Chairman Of the Senate Com
mittee on Pensions; and the indica-
tons are that Joseph E. Johnston,
who was at the head of the rebel
army that confronted Sherman
from Chattanooga to Atlanta, will
be Chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs in the House
There are nineteen rebel officers
and only four Union ones in the
Uuited States Senate to-day. The
recently elected Secretary Of the
Senate, was Colonel in the rebel
army; the newly elected Chief
Clerk was on the staff of Gen. Lee,
while the Executive Clerk is an
ex-Member of the rebel Congress.
Eight out of ten of the employees
in both houses Of Congress served
in the Southern army. The claim
of the States. therefore, may be
set down as reasonable, and it must

Partlzan Appeal of no Account.


The subsidized organ made a piteous
appeal week before last to demo-
Gratis for retention as the official
paper, on the ground of party
service-for what it has done and
for what it may do. Watertown
has always been regarded as one
of the democratic strongholds in
the state, and until year or two
it could always be counted on for
heavy democratic majority, at all
times and under all circumstances.
Now, city which is SO largely
democratic ought to have a party
organ which is conducted by
able men = men who did not
learn their business over calico
or peanut counter. it should be
managed by experienced Journal
lists, who have the respect of the
lelding men ofits party. Such pa
per would WELD an influence and
be a benefit to the democracy, and
no such Struggling from the party
ranks would occur as was seen in
the last two elections under its
direction. A paper under such a
management would no doubt re-
ceive such support from the demo-
cratic counties of Jefferson and
Dodge as would place it along side
of the most prominent weeklies III
the state. But as long as the demo-
crazy is hampered with the sickly
organ, which is a newspaper IN
name only, just SO long will their
maiorities be uncertain. The Water
loo defeat which overlook the
democrats of this county last fall
is to great extent attributable to
the vacillating and inconsistent
course of their organ here. These
are facts and it is not uncommon to
hear democrats express themselves
III accordance with them. Denun-
citation of their organ and the men
who conduct it are not of unfre-
auent occurrence among democrats.
We ask, then, what object demo-
Gratis have in sustaining the present
party organ, which is only occupy
ing place that should be filled
with better material? What in
terest, we ask, have the democrats
IN sustaining a paper which is
conducted in such manner as to
sever and distract their party?
Now, while we are dealing out
to- the democracy good deal of
common sense we are talking direct
ly against our own interest, in a
business point of view as we'll as in
a party sense. The REPUBLICAN,,
instead of having everything its own
way as now, would be apt to get
squeezed if the democrats should
put in an organ here conducted by
men of ability. If the ideas adj
vanced in this article were all our
own and new to the democrats, we
should hesitate about giving them
publicity; but they are not original
with us. We but repeat, that
which is in the mouths of scores of
democrats who are Disguised with
their party sheet and the men who
conduct it.
