To the Editor of the Globe:
Who does not know what it was that
overthrew the Democratic party, at the
cost of over one million of lives and the
manning of hundreds of thousands for
life, and the cruel decorations of fifty mil
lions of human hearts for years; and at
the cost of more than ten billions of prop
erty? First, it was not the want of either
knowledge or ability. Second, but it was
solely the utter departure of the men of
that party from the honesty of rendering
to God his justice and to men their rights
in moral and civil government, and prosti-
tuting themselves to the dishonesty of rul-
ing by religion and slavery, as party.
Here is the whole of it. The Windows,
Tweeds and Celfaxes, as representative
same utter departure from all honesty into
the same dishonesty of ruling, by religion;
or they are in the honesty of rendering the
divine justice and human right due to fifty
millions of citizens in our political body
polite; instead of prostituting divine JUS
tice and all civil right to corruptly serve
the selfhoods of bosses of rings and eau
cuses; or have they been or are honest pa
tr1ots. which? Do they rule by religion?
Do they corruptly rule by religion as
means to their political end of power?
Then can they do this without their vile
instruments? Are not vile instruments of
corruption as base and iniquitous as their
bosses? Then what self-respect, or res
pect of honest men, can such instrumental
tools of such corrupt bosses have in their
cannot be sinking dead carcass without
your sphere of offensive scent. How long
can party survive only on the support of
such stinking sphere of influence? If
you do not know ask the old Bourbon
Democracy of the past how long? All
men of intelligence know that politics are
utterly venal, and confess it. Three of the
most posted and prominent men of the
opposite parties freely and fully confessed
it as an actual fact. One of them lifted
up his hand and raising his five fingers
said most emphatically: I can count all
the honest men I know in politics on the
fingers of one hand. Now, why then
should not knaves know they Extensively
stink, although they themselves have
familiarized themselves to the offensive
smell?
You well know the offensive scent of the
dishonesty of old Bourbon Democracy
overthrew it. Now how long can any
party with worse scent of dishonesty
stand in their fouler stencil without being
utterly overthrown in a greater destruc-
ton? There is a sure means of utter
overthrow. 1t is the entire want of all
confidence in governors and rulers, and
the belief that they are all thieves and
knaves How far are we as nation,
and parties from arriving at this station
which we are approaching on lightning
express train of sixty miles to the hour?
Now as honest men, will you serve your
country or will you serve yourselves? You
will all be discerned. each in his patriot
ism and each in his corruption. The Re-
publicans have the majority, and there
is a political right of majority. Then
if the Democrats are honest, and pa
triotic, let them say to the Republicans:
If you can find an indisputably honest
man to serve our country, we will help
you elect him. If on trial you fail, you
shall then on such failure, if we can then
find an honest Democrat, you shall then
help us elect him. If we cannot then find
an honest man in either party, nor outside
of them, neither nation or state Will suffer
any loss by not having a corrupt second
senator in the q. S. senate; nor will socie-
ty be corrupted by corrupt tools choosing
a corrupt senator. Now if Republicans
have ruled by having free religion1st as
editor to gather in all free religionists and
a manager of the same paper an ortho-
dox religionists to gather in all the ortho-
dox influence for the means of ruling by
religion, their Republicanism is second
