THE NEW DEMOCRACY.

THE NEW DEMOCRACY. -f.5
The term New Democracy is CON-
ing rapidly into vogue. We suppose it
means simply that the old Bourbon
Democracy of the post.rebellisn aud
war periods is no more and that it died
out with the slavery and other issues
wkicl, made aud kept the Republican
party in power. The N. Y. Man, the
organ Of the National Liberal League,
copies our first article on the infamous
''Russell Law" of Ohio, and follows it
with the following ir0nical comments:
Oh, no, dear ADVANCE! You are all
wrong. You are advancing backward,
like the Grabbed jgnOramus that you
are. If ysu we're ut all Up to high pelit-
ical snuff, and were not rs green rs

burst up the Republican Ring-in spots,
like everything.
The Democratic party is the only
power in this land strong enough to
have the ghost of ~ chance to turn out
this ''priest-ridden, churchridden Re-
publican party;;" but don't ask Spirit
ualiSts NOR Liberals to vote for the
Democracy, because there came in one
generation Of Democrats, new rapidly
dying outer the survivors deeply re-
pentant-wl0 were the slavOcrat party
fifty to twenty-five years ago. Tie
older generation of Republicans, also
now rapidly dying cut or deserting the
rotten old hulk, were the anti-slavery
party Of twenty-five years ago. Their
sons have grown paternal, imperious,
corrupt, from long possession of power;
the clurch-''the bulwark of American
slavery''-have jumped upon them and
turned the party forces to ecclesiastical
purposes; but don't ask Spiritualists
nor Liberals to vote straight, censcien-
tieusly and inte]ligently against them,
or in any way that will secure their
defeat. No, dent! Fern new party

impractical enthusiasm and forlorn
hope. Ge through the motions of vir-
tuous indignation; but do it in such a
way rs to keep the Republican priest

power. It is vastly better to let the re.

ancient glory and the original prin-
cipl-s Of the Revolutionary Democratic
party-the party of Washington and
jefferson; Of Ben. Franklin and Thos.
Paine. No; let us steer clear Of ''the
likes of them" Yes, let's. There's
wisdom for you!
1t is evident enough, from this that
Man has lost all hope Of reforming the
Republican party by fighting inside of
the ranks. Thousands still cling to
the party, hoping that by vigorous pre-
test and effort, it can he kept from
further class legislation and infamous
yielding to bigotry and fanaticism.-
Thousands of others have lost hope and
are joining the New Democracy aud
the other new party movements.
Our advice would be this: In states
like Ohio, with the most bigoted law
which has so far been enacted by the
Republicans, and in Iowa where the
party has come out strongly On the
side of temperance fanaticism and
slaughtered IN honest Judge for simply
declaring what the law is, vote by all
means with the party most likely to
defeat the Republicans. They are be-
sottel and depraved with long success
and self elorihcation and can appre-
ciAte netting but reut and overthrow.
Let every voter who opposes these
fanatical and bigeteG features Of the
party. vote with tho Democracy, or
Nationals, or Peoples Party, or any
party which is strongest and most
likely te defeat the Republicans in
those States.
Clip out this record, paste it in your
note book and read it once day until
election:
l. The Republican party passed the
infamous Comstock law under which
postmasters and special postot}ice spies
exercise greater powers than were ex-
srcised by courts of law before the war,
and under which number of true and
good men have been sent to the peni-
tentiary.
2. Republican legislatures in a num-
ber of States have passed the doctors
plot" laws in the interest of medical
Popery, declaring that the public must
employ ce1 tain class of physicians, or
employ other classes at the physicians
and at their own peril.
8. The Republican legislature of Ohio
passed the infamous Russell law taxing
the ministers of Spiritualists $500 70,
exercising their vocation, while the
laws ct the State grant special privi
leges to the ministers and the churches
of orthodox religion.
4. Tie Republican party in 1ewa and
to a great extent in Ohio, has declared
Tor sumptuary laws and in favor o1
prohibition fanaticism.
