of the rebel Brigadiers in Congress, or
read their utterances, can doubt, for a
moment, that the Southern traitors
are actuated by the same motives now,
and are just as determined, as in 1861.
Southern newspapers boast OF having
captured the Capital, and are repub-
fishing the slang used to fire the
Southern heart" in 1660-61. The
Northern Representatives in Congress
meekly follow the course mapped out
for them by the Brigadiers, and some
of the more ultra rebels now speak
favorably of Senator Thurman as
Presidential candidate. These South
ern rebels know that the great body OF
| Northern Democrats warml y sympa-
thized with them during the war, and
they see no good reason to expect any
radical change in the views OF the
Democratic party North.
Almost any young man now, had
he the opportunity of looking over
the files Of newspapers published dur
ing the war, would be greatly sur
| prised at the outspoken rebel tone of
the Northern Democratic press and
speakers during that period. The res
olutions passed at Leach's Grove, on
the 4th Of July, 1864, and recently
repubished in the Standard, have had
an extensive newspaper circulation,
the rebel Okolona States, as will be
seen elsewhere, copying and strongly
endorsing them.
Democratic traitors at the North,
during the darkest days of the war,
called themselves ''peace men," They
were for ''peace'-that is, they were
for the people of the North, through
their servants at Washington, declar-
ing the war failure, and telling the
Southern traitors to destroy the I'm
ion, and "go in peace"
In 1864 these "peace men" had a
sort of Convention in the city of Co.
lumbus, and the "peace" Democracy,
the rebel Democracy, the Vallandig-
ham Democracy of Jackson county,
of which Levi DUNCAN was leading
spirit, appointed delegates. At the
meeting for that purpose, in March,
1864, the following resolution was
passed:
| Resolved, AS the sense of this Convention,
that we are for peace instead of war measures
| as means of restoring the Union our fathers
gave us.
That meant that the peace Demo-
Gratis of Jackson county were willing
to allow the Southern traitors to do
just as they pleased, and carry out
their revolutionary measures with a
high hand in order to 'restore the
Union our fathers gave u.s.
The Convention at Columbus to
which the delegates spoken of were
sent, passed among other resolutions,
this:
We therefore demand the immediate inau-
gGratiOn of peaceable means to attain anehon-
orable settlement and the restoration of the
Union under the Constitution.
The course of the Lincoln Admins
tration was styled very dishonorable,
by these "peace" men. An honorable
settlement according to their view
would have been complete surrender
to the rebels. 1t was not difficult to
discover the particular kind of ''peace"
the fellows wanted then-it is not
difficult to discover the kind of har-
mony they are after now. Put in a
Democratic Administration, and all
will be lovely-no North, no East, no
West, but one big Solid South with
the men at the North who lost fathers,
sons or brothers in the war, paying
the rebel war debt, and paying South
err loafers all manner of ingeniously
arranged bills for slaves never owned
by them, under the title of property
Taken or Destroyed by the Union
Armies
Reader, will you vote to bring about
such a condition Of things, by voting
for Tom Ewing and Levi DUNCAN?
