an article aiming TO be a reply of weigh
and elevation to the article In the Dem
! oCRAT of the day before, on Lincoln AM
the sham Republican party. II was EVIL
IDENTIFY the production Of Lighter
weight than the author Of that In TN
Rep OF last week to which we replied OF
Tuesday. II these articles are not from
different persons, there Ia an evlden'
falling of In nerve strength, indicating
an alarming condition Of the brain. Il
from the same person he Ia In danger
and should at once consult a specials
In that line. Dementia Ia dangerous.
The Repository ia alarmed lest "Dem
"Ocratlc success takes some 100000,
1000 out of the National Treasury to pal
"the shareholders for their slaves eman

its the usual Ignorance or un%fairness II
that sheet. Do the learned scribbler'
for the Rep not know that there 10 nj
amendment to the Constitution prohibit
Ing all thlsP Besides the South Ia wei
satisfied. Negro labor Is better ant
cheaper than 1t was during slavery
and then the south has quite an increase
OF political power. This latter feature
Ia peculiarly acceptable TO Democrats
| North and South. or course the objecI
and purpose Of the crafty Republican
leaders In freeing the negroes aud Civ
Ing them the ballot was to give thu
South TO the Republican party forever
They have signally failed In this
Crafty Republican party
The Rep. seems to feel pleased at oul
cOncedlng to Mr., Lincoln personal quail
ties worthy Of praise. In this connec
ton we have always regretted Mr., Lin
coins lack OF lrmness In failing to con
troll the fine Italian hand Of the craftl
| and heartless, william II. Seward. i
was Mr.. Seward, who, on an occasion
said TO the British minister: my lord
II can touch my little bell and order TIL
ARREST OF q man In New York, or Chicago
"or elsewhere, and his incarceration II
fort Lafayette, Can the Queen of Eng
land do az muchp" Fort Lafayette wa
oiled with prominent citizens. Hon
James W. Wall, OF New Jersey; Hon
EdsOn b. Odds, Of Ohio, and scores o
others. These men never had a hearing
before any tribunal; were never In
formed OF the charges against them
never knew who were their accusere
and after harsh and cruel imprisonment
we're turned adrift without explanation
No indeed-the Queen Of England coult
not and would not dare to do as much
II Ia not even done In Ireland; for what
ever IL done there is done under tn,
pemblance Of law.
But the Republican party, and theil
organs. approved OF all this lawlessnesI
and infamy then, and rejoice In II yet
Is II not q sham Republican partyY IL
II not u monster OF lniquity, and FRAUD
and heartlessnessp IL II not tho party
OF despotism, Of monopoly Has moi
this party been making the rich, richer
and the poor, poorer Yea, verify GreaI
Republican shaml
Horace Greeley understood william
II. Seward, and II was Mr.. Greeley's In
luence ut the Republican National Con
yention ut Chicago 10 1860 that prevent
Cd seward's nomination AZ President
and secured the nomination OF Lincoln
This man Seward was an u|nprlnclple(
schemer and trickster. lilo mounted Thu
Anti-Masonlc wave In early life, ant
first secured prominence and place IL
this way. He also played the anti
slavery game. In fact, with him IL wa
anything to catch votes, His was reall,
the evil spirit OF Lincoln's administra
ton, and Lincoln's easy and joking ma
ture did not take the trouble u interfere
with this specimen OF diabOllsm. TIT
career OF the Republican party, since
its advent TO power, Ia ono continued
record Of lawless wrong. Have thel
not %squandered the public domain
Permitted the same railways also to rol

This Republican party was organizet

Hence this party has never recognize
