record will soon become history. The
acts Of the Democratic party, as mani
tested in this Congress, Justify me IN
arraigning it before the loyal people of
the Uuited States, on the political is
sues which it has presented, as the en-
envy Of the Nation and as the author
and abetter Of rebellion.
First For having resorted to rev.
dictionary measures to carry cut their
partisan projects by attempting to CO.
cree the Executive by withholding sup
plies, and thus accomplishing by star
walton the destruction of the Govern
ment which they had failed to over
throw by arms.
Second. For having injured the bus
mess interests of the country by fore
ing the present extra session after lib
eral compromises were rendered them
previous to the close OF the last ses-
sion.
Third. For having attempted to
throw away the results Of the recent
war by again elevating State over Ma
tional sovereignty. We sacrificed more
than 100000 lives and expended more
than $5,00O,OO0CO0 to put down this
heresy and to perpetuate the National
life. They surrendered this at Appc-
mattox, but now they attempt to re-
new this pretension.
Fourth. For having attempted
(there are honorable exceptions and
long may they be remembered to dam
age the business interests of the coun-
try by forcing silver coin into circula-
ton of less value than it represents,
thus sWindling the laboring man and
the producers, by compelling him to
accept eighty-dve cents for a dollars
and thus enriching the bullion owner,
at the expense of the laborer. Twelve
hundred million dollars is paid yearly
to labor alone in this country, and by
forcing an eighty-fve-cent dollar on
the workingmen, you sWindle them
out Of $4,000, 900 yearly.
Fifth. For having removed without
cause experienced officers and en-
ployes Of this body, some of whom
served and were wounded in the Union
army, and with appointing men who
had in the rebel army, attempted to
destroy the Government.
Sixth. For having instituted q Sc
cret and illegitimate tribunal, the
edicts of which have been made the
supreme governing power Of Congress,
in defiance of the fundamental princi-
pies Of the Constitution. The DEGREES
of this iunta are known, although It's
motives are hidden.
Seventh. For having held up for
public admiration that arch-rebel,
Jefferson Davis, great laughter on the
Democratic side) declaring that he was
inspired by motives as sacred and as
noble as animated Washington, and &c
having rendered services in attempting
to destroy the Union, which will equal
in history Grecian fame or Roman glo-
ry. You may laugh, but the people Of
the North will make you laugh out Of
the other side of your mouth.
Eighth. For having undertaken to
blot from the statute books of the Ma
ton wise laws, rendered necessary by
the war and it's results, and insurlng
6 life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness p to the emancipated freedmen,
who are now so bull-dozed and K.u-
Kluxed that they are seeking peace in
exile, although urged to remain by
shot-guns.
Ninth. For having attempted to re-
peal the wise legislation which ex-
cludes those who served under the reb-
Ell flag, from holding commissions in
the army and navy of the United
States.
Tenth For having introduced a
large amount Of legislation for the ex-
elusive benefit of the States recently in
rebellion, which, if enacted, would
bankrupt the National Treasury.
Eleventh. For having conspired to
destroy all that the Republican party
has accomplished, many Of them break
ing their oaths of allegiance to the
United States, and pledging their lives,
their fortunes and and their sacred
bonorc to overt brow this GOyarnupnf
