Democratic UniOniSm.

Gen. Durbin Ward having recently
made an address, in which he spoke of
1.-The Democratic party's unparalleled
devotion to the Union, y the Lebanon
Star gives series of instances of that
devotion running through the last
twenty years, which ought to make
the Generals s ears ring.
What does General Ward expect to
gain for himself or his party by seek
ing to falsify history and insult the
common sense of his countrymen and
Of mankind? One-half the Demo-
cratic party covered the land with
blood and mourning, in a mad effort
to destroy the Union by force of arms,
while two-thirds of the other half gave
open sympathy to the accursed treason,
and are acting in close concert with
the beaten traitors to-day.
There are patriotic and Union low
ing Democrats, as was proved during
the war; but such will no more act
with the Democratic party now, when
it is seeking to reverse all the results
of the war, than they did while the
conflict was going on. They rallied
around the flag of the Union, upheld
by the Republican party, then; they
will rally around it again, now that
the same traitors are once more threat
ening that Union.

melting or prosecuting the rebellion
have been reduced. 1t certainly is
sad One who was a maior-general

general at Shiloh is now deck hand
on the Mississippi. But there are laws
of disorder as we'll as laws Of order;
and it may be wholesome to remember
that these gentlemen are peculiarly
lucky in one respect-in being Amer
leans. Any one of them might have
been a Russian, Spaniard, or Prus-
sian, or even an Austrian; and if they
had taken up arms to destroy those
countries, they probably would now
have no heads to ache, no pride to be
wounded. If life is worth having.

Alone.

Alone.
She stands beside the cottage door
To watch the dying day,
her raven hair is Sprinkled DER
With flakes of silver gray
And many a line of sadness sears
That pale yet lovely face,
To mark where slow and silent tears
Have left their lasting trace.
And still her whispered thoughts will tell
OF scenes that are no more,
And sean the once-lOved forms that dwell
On Mem'ry's shadowy shore;
Again the little cot to deck
That now so empty stands;
Again to feel around her neck
The touch of tiny hands.
How long, the weary spirit cries
Within this world of pain,
Ere meath the never-fading skies
l meet them once again =?
And as she views the silver night
Slow sweeping to the west,
A murmured prayer in faith takes flight
To Him who giveth rest.

All the labored arguments of South
ern Senators to prove that the temper
Of the people of their section is fair
toward men Of all parties, and that
the charges OF intimidation, social op-
preston and even brutal violence to-
ward Republicans are faioe-all these
fall dead beside orc such utterance as
is reported in our Washington dis
patches. Mr.. Swails is colored man,
now earning his living as Treasury
clerk in Washington, who was driven
from South Carolina by the Demo-
Gratis. No one has ever been able to
discover that his arrest and banish-
ment were caused by any crime but
that Of expressing his Republican
sentiments in the community where
he lived, and seeking to keep up the
organization of his party. But the
spirit that drove him into exileis fully
exposed by the outcry which has just
gone up from the Democratic newspa-
per at his home when a rumor crept
about that he was coming home. This
newspaper said that If Mr.. Swails did
so he would return lat his personal
peril" ''The white people" of Will
liamsburg County, it seems, will not
permit Swails to return here to live .
One concession this Democratic organ
was willing to make. If Mr.. Swails
merely wished to stay long enough to
arrange his private affairs, the Demo
cratic County Committee might de-
mand of him pledge in writing ''giv-
the exact time within which he will
leave for good, and beyond which he
will not be allowed to stay" Again:
''If he declines to state his purpose,
the public should be made aware of the
fact. * x If, after this, he
makes his appearance, he can take the
consequences of his act" The reader
may well rub his eyes and ask himself
whether these things have actually
been said by newspaper published in
a free country, and in the United
States at that. And yet Southern
statesmen grow indignant if there peo-
pie are charged with making a barbar-
Gus warfare of politics.
