| The Insolent Foe
It is becoming daily more evident |
that the Democratic managers intend to
profess entire concurrence with the Re-
publican party on all measures of pub /
lie policy, and to rely upon campaign |
of SANDER and falsehood against the Re- |
publican party in general. and its cam |
didates ia particular. without regard to
who they may be. There was at one
time an attempt by some Democratic
free traders to impress their views upon
the party, but they have been frowned
down. The growing strength of RAM
dali for Speakership admonishes us
that the Democratic party does not in
tend to make stand on the tariff ques-
ton. 1t will make hypocritical pre-
tense of favoring a revenue tariff with
incidental protection, which is the only
kind of protective tariff to which the
Republican party has ever committed
itself. 1t will shout for free ballot,
while organizing the stuffing of ballot
boxes in every State where it has con-
troll, and win resolve for free education
while throwing every obstacle in its way.
Union, emancipation, enfranchise-
ment, education, resumption and
protection will be emblazoned
on the banners of the party
which fought against each, until over
come, with all the desperation of which
man is capable. The haters of every
step of progress made during the last
twenty years are to appear as the con-
servators of that progress, and as wit
nesses against its leaders and prornot-
ers- The people are to be invited to
trust the obstructionists and reactionists
because during twenty odd years of
guilty of misconduct. The party which
at the South consists of incorrigible
Borrbons, and which at the North
would be disbanded if it could not COM
mand the support of nineteen-twenti-
eths of the criminal classes-such q
party, SCARED all over with the marks
of its own corruption, and its back
gridironed with the stripes well laid on
| by the people in six Presidential cleo
tions, proposes to try conclusions with
| the Republican party on u comparison
of the relative personal worth of the
members of each.
Sentenced to banisbment for its hos
| tility to the rights of man, and expelled
the country in 1860 by the American
people, this brazen offender comes back
again to say that, although it has been
wrong in every act and word for forty
years, and would have perpetuated
slavery if it could, and, failing in that,
would have destroyed the Government,
and, failing in that, would have repu-
dated the debt incurred in its preserva-
tion, and would have made the United
States the slave of Europe to produce
only the food for foreign operatives, yet
tit--sasast-naW- -haxe-power- bc11use the
Republicans are all taieves, and the
virtue and respectability of the Nation
is all in the Democratic party. This is
TO be the platform of the party which
was, during the Administrations of
Polk, Pierce and Buchanan, as reckless
of the welfare of the country as it was
careful of the privileges of slavery and
of the few hundred of supercilious ty-
rants who constituted the political ele-
ment of the slave-holding class, the par
ty which made up a quarrel with Mexi-
CO out of the whole cloth. in order to
steal territory out of which to make
new slave States to outvote freedom in
the National elections, and was fciled
only by the discovery of gold in Cali
Ifornia-the party which drenched the
plains of Kansas with the blood of free
men in order to force slavery where
itself had promised it should not 60
the party which finally held the Nation s
hands in order that its enemies might
prevail, and which was as much part
of the great rebellion as was the Cahi-
net of Jefferson Davis. We like its i'm
pudence. Let the next Presidential
battle be fought on the question of good
character. The Democratic party will
be shown to have improved every op-
portunity it had to be dishonest and
corrupt from lS45 to 1861 in its admin
i.tration of National affairs. As to
States, Tweed and his gang in New
York, the party bandits and ballot-box

faulters in most of the Democratic State
