rule It.
il there is any
Vigor and
Vitality
Left in the Democratic party, II doesn't
owe any thanks to them.
They united with the Linsolnltsa In
1861,
And with
Sword,
Torch and
Shotgun,
They helped to
Conquer and
Cruelty
The South;
Helped to
Murder Democratic voters,
Burn Democratic homes, and
Steal Democratic PROPERTY.
They fought and
They Illuminated
Against the illuminant and immortal
prin siples that underlie our party creed,
By helping to strangle the States and
Emancipate and enfranchise the bond
servants Of our people;
And now,
With the brass Of Beelzebub himself,
They dsreto stand forth and declare that
we must nominate one Of their number for
the Presidency,
And thereby indorse their internal
treachery.
Now, good gentlemen oithese Sovereign
States,
You know, and
We know, and
A whole world Of men and women
knows,
That
0NE-HALF
OF the Democratic party were
Disunionists,
And foughtfor Disunion with Gre and
sabre.
You know, and
Awhole world Of men and women
know,
That
sEVEN-TENTHs
OF the other hall Of the Democratic
party
sympathized
With US when we sought to cut the &C.
cursed bonds Of this thriceaccrused Union
in twain.
Therefore,
II the Democratic party nominates
Union man at Cincinnati, 1t will stultify
itself all over and all through, and be COM
PEELED to feast on the dirtiest kind OF dirt
from June till November.
| But II cannot cast dust in the eyes OF the
people by pretended devotion for the
Union,
And It's policy.bumming poltroons
Needn't try the trick.
We cannot 90 back on our grand, pro-
gressiye history.
We couldn't II we would, and, as far as
the honest masses OF our party are con-
cerned, they wouldn't II they could.
1t is blazoned on our banner;
II Is craven on our monuments;
1t drums and bugles with resounding
melody in the memory OF the
Patriots
ofthe Sovereign States.
This being the case,
1t will be q
Mockery,
It will be
Madness
To make profession Of Unionism at
q late hour in the afternoon.
And then the disgrace OF the thing
The burning and
Blistering
Disgrace OF II.
The idea that our party shall honor the
Union, as it Is,
A Union that reeks and drips with the
blood OF our
Fellow.patriots and
Fellow.partisans,-
A Union that is held together in de
fiance OF every Democratic
Truth,
Teaching, and
Traditionl
We cannot do It and maintain our man
hood and our self.respect,
And, by the Holy OF HOLES,
We JefersoniRns will not even pretend
to do 1t.
No hypocrisy for us, Il you pleasei
No PLAYING q part: -,
Wehaye no principles Of which we arr
Afraid or
And We do not propose to act as though
we bad.
Do you heart
You may 20 on rs you are RolnRi AN
succeed In your craven conSpiracyi
But We tell yeu,
Once for all,
That II you placea
David Davis ora
Palmer
On our ticket,
We will make him dance to our must
from the day that he walks up TO IN
White House steps.
He may deny the Right oil Secession
!. Uphold niger suffrage.
, But that sort of thing will al,ls out
He will find himself
e To sign bill after bill, restoring IL
Planter Republic,
And when his Presidential comes TO
: close, there will be no trace or vestige le
ID Of the unhAllowed usurpaion Of OF
2 Yankee foes.
