REPUBLICA A TICKET.


Rebel Fortunately.
With great persistency Republican
are told by the Democrats that the
should desist in waving the blood
shirt, and that hands ought to ba clasp
cd in friendship over the bloody chasr
that the rebellion made. Any referenc
made by northern journals to southern
troubles and political ou:rages which
occur there to shock humanity ant
decency initiates the Democratic mind
and Democratic papers are ever ready
to meet such charges with the counter
charge OF labor troubles in the rorth
which often end in lawlessness. Thesi
sheats sie always ready with thsi
words of condemnation of every little
Outbreak in the north, and attribute il
to the results of Republican govern
ment, and these same Democratic
editors can call up these southern
bloody deeds and dwell upon them al
length without once thinking it worth
while to utter even the mildest kind Of
rebuke.
The people of ths north have excel.
lent reason for believing that the spirit
of disloyalty is general in the South to,
day as it was in 1861. 1t does not ex.
LIST in open acts of rebellion and in tax
ing up arms against the government, as
1t did then, but it exists nevertheless,
aud every now and then it crops out in
the speeches CT southern orators in
spite of the attempt OF more conserva-
tive men TO put psdlocks on their
mouths. Occasionally one more bold
than the others unburdens his mind
when all the pent up venom and fury
Ct score of years flow forth. Loyal
as Bob Toombs pretends to be, some
times he loses his balance and INDUCES
in his characteristic filings at the North
ern people and at Republican rule, and
then some one else breaks the silence
by unbosoming his mind and revealing
the under current Of disloyal feeling
that pervades all classes of Southern
people outside of those who are Repub-
lioans.
A late notable instance of this &C.
CURED in Baltimore on rebel decoration
day, where that arch traitor, General
Bradley T. Johnson, spoke his little
piece in eulogy of TREASON more than in
eulogy of the remembrance of the dead.
The following is part Of what he said
upon that occasion
"What was true in 1861 is as true
to day as then. (Applause And the
cause these men died to ssrve is TO- day
as just, as honest and holy a cause as
it was when they laid down their lives
for it on the soil of Virginia. Gap
plause.) Times change, and some men
change with them, but true men do
not change with time" applause. }
Can there be any doubt that this is
the boldest kind of treason that it Is a
plain unadulterated eulogy Of secession!
Not word Of loyalty is expressed for
the old flag that waves over a common
country, but volumes Of eicquence as
tribute to treason and tho hest possible
means If developing a fruitful crop of
1t. These very men all belong 70 the
Democratic party, and from their r. nks
came the rebel brigadiers that fill Con-
gress, and who can doubt that they are
now striving with might and main to
secure possession of the government
and that they intend to ran it in
their own interests. They are the men
whom the Democrats rely upon to carry
their soon to be nominated candidate
for the Presidency into power. They
have the plans laid for carrying every
Southern State, and the only perplexity
they have to contend with is how TO
capture enough Northern States to Sc
cure the Presidency. To do this they
must, in addition to the Solid South,
carry either New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, which viii! give them 1SS
votes, three more than will elect, or
they must carry New York and Indiana
with l8G votes, one mere than enough
to elect. In airy case they Eust carry
Nav York, AID hence their bewilder.
ment in selecting the man to do it.
Neither Mr.. Tilden nor Mr.. Seymour
would be thought of only for New YORK.
