election. the same submissive, meek follow
ers Of the arrogant South Before the re-
bellion they defended and eulogised the
institution Of Slavery, looked up to the po-
liiical leaders Of the South a. the embodi-

try. and the common slaye masters Is the
very pink and perfection Of the human race.
Whatever the South asked for, the dough.
faces were ready to grant. even to the max
ing Of Slavery the chief corner stone Of the
national government.
The stern lessons of the war. which low
cred the crcsts OF the naughty southern
aris,ocrats so that they were willing at las,
ta acknowledge the superiority Of the de-
spiscd mechanics. laborcrs and farmers Of
the North did no, cxtinguish the race Of
northern doughfaocs.
Through the war they sympa,hired with
the rebels. praised their valor and reioiced
when they gained advantages over the Union
army. When the war ended they clung to
the battered and tattered remnants Of rebel
dom as the hope Of the democratic party
They lsmeu;ed the destruction Of the South
ern Confederaey. They wept over the fail
uTe OF Secession. They eKtolled the PROV
ess Of Lee. the wisdom Of JED Davis. and
pronounced Lincoln a murderer and Grant
butcher. They pleaded TO have the rebel
States restored at once after their surrender.
TO all the relations in the Union which they
had voluntarily. ru,hle.sly and without
cause broken when they took up arms

ly wait for the rebel brigadiers to exchange
the habilimenis Of var for those Of peace
before showing them the way to Congress
and pointing out tha, there was chance for
them to capture the White House and '.get
even' With the dcspised Yankees.
Northern doushfaocs have justified and
