The Republican watchword which
is being passed along the line is
that ''the Democrats must be voted
down or whipped down." Among
the "stalwarts" this sentiment is ap.
plaudcd and accepted as che party
slogan. A more reasonable or in
famous utteranee was never put
forth. 1t means rather than accept
defeat QUE free institutions are to be
overthrewR, and that the majority
can take it's choice of Submitting
permanently to minority usurpation
or going to war. 1t means that the
INSCRIPTIONS politicians already in
power, backed by Eastern nsonopo-
lists and bondheiders, will deluge
the land with blood before they will
permit the Democratic party to di-
rect the eoarse of legislation
1t means that the excitement. of
threatened civil war is to be revived
in order to divert the attention of
the masses from the horrors of Rad
ical usurpatiOn and robbery.
A large number of shrewd Repub-
lican politicians think that by thus
showing an impudent and war like
front they can bull doze the country
into submission to their usurpations.
With glaring effrontry and criminal
boldness they adopted these tactics
ut the last election, and to-day the
occupant of the Executive chair is
as pure aud unmitigated an usurper
as ever held power in the history of
the world. Tho only alternative Of
fered the majority then was submis-
sion or war. If the same choice of
evils can be presented again they be-
licve it will once more succeed. Con-
fident that the bluff game will win,
the peril0us danger to the country is
that the reckless Radical adventur-
ers will play the game too far and
precipitate trouble.
But what a comment this desper-
ate state of Republican feeling is on
the rapid decay within that party of
the true spirit Of free institutions.
Its arrogance has been nursed 80
long it finds itself incapable of sur
rendering the loaves and fishes to
the majority without first attempt.
ing to plunge the nation into war.
After all the blood that was shed
for the preservation of the Republic,
which is but another name for ma
jority rule, We see the professed 81.
mon pure champions of that idea
fiagrantly repudiating it and insist
ing that they must continue in pow
er by usurpation, although they are
in the minority, or that the country
must prepare for civil war.
This horrible threat is not to be
laughed at. A nation that will sub
NIT to one usurpation is in imminent
danger of another.

WAS TUEnE TREAsONINITg

The Savannah Recorder argues that there
was no treason and rebellion in 1861, be-
cause there has been no trial of any one
laration of treason does not make trea-
SON. The indulgence, forbeNrance and
mercy of the Government after the close of
the rebellion was great mistake, for the
reason that it has emboldened the rebels to
taunt tho Government with virtual adj
mission that there was no treason and rebel
lion in 1s6l-Otherwise there would have
been some convictions aud executions for
treason long before this. There is some
point in this assumption, under the weak
ness shown by the Government in neglect
ing to yindicate the cause Of justice by per-
hitting treason and rebellion TO go UNI
punished. If JEFF DAVIS had been tried
and executed as a traitor or any other cap
tured rebel had been subjected to the just
consequences of treason, the Government
would not now be tainted with COW
ardice by that class, The example
would have been salutary, AS mat
tiers are progressing now it will not be
long before our soldiers will be required tC
apologize TO the Conlederates for having
fought them to defeat, thus saving the Re
public Most assuredly if the rebels were
not traitors when they attempted to break
the bond of this Union by the force of arms,
then the President, his Cabinet, the Con-
gress, the Army and Navy of the United
States must have been traitors; for il Is the
verdict of mankind that the crime of treason
was involved on the part Of somebody con-
nectsd with that war, and all but the rebels
themselves proclaim that they were the

TIE CoLoREp EXODUS,

The indianapolis journal has the follow
ing in regard to Senator VOORHEES, investi-
cation of the colored exodus into that State
The question which the Exodus Committee
was instructed to investigate is tho causes
which have led to the immigration" 1t
was regarded as a strange proceeding from the
first. and many Democrats North and South,
denounced it,. There was an impression from
the start that perhaps Mr.. VOORHEES, had in
view the collection of his political friends In
Washington at Government expense. That
which was then only seen through a glass
darlkly, is now sufficiently manifest. From
twenty-five to fifty impecunious Democratic
wire-workers have been called to Washington,
not to testify AS TO the causes which have led
to the immigration, but to prove that there is no
demand for farm labor in Indiana. Not
one of the witnesses summoned from Indiana
and examined as TO the supply and demand Of
farm labor had any practical knowledge of the
question They were not farmers but law
yers and professional politicians, who had per-
formed political service for Mr.. VOORHEES,
men who could not tell one kind of grain
from another; aud yet, from General Russ
down to Sheriff LEwMNN, they testified that
there was no demand for farm labor in the
State.
General Russ writes TO his deputy and tells
Of the glorious good times lie has been having
at the Capital at the expense OF Uncle DAM,
and adds I'm be home in day or two, hut
before | come back | will arrange Il so that
| you get summoned rs witness. Then
| you can have your fun" While these friends OF
Senator VOORHEES, are having their fun at
| government expense aud swearing that there
| is mo demand for farm labor" the farmers Of
! Indiana have been calling aud employing tho
| emigrants. The Rev. MOSES BROYLEs, q col
ored minister Of this city, who has beeu looking
after the wants Of the cmigmnts informed tho
| editor Of the JOu1di yesterday that Of about
one thousand of tCse emigrants who have
reached Indiana, not fifty remain unemployed
! that ninety per cent ofthem have secured per
manent employment as farm hands. The gov
ernment has been involved in no expense il
securing their emplOymcnt,and they are add int
! largely to the productive wealth of the state
while the Government has been put TO thou
sands of dollars Of expense by Mr.. NooRHEn

TO swear that there was no employment In thu

ask which are the paupers upon the Govern

earning their bread upon the farms, or the
