The Same Old Crowd!
The Spirit Of Sixty-O Still Nov
ing The Democratic Party!

For several days the Copperhead
papers Of the North have been Kissing
and bowling furiously at Senator In
gals, Of Kansas. The country paus-
es in the midst of the great hubub
and asks what manner Of evil hath
he done?" The answer is easy and
simple-the Senator denounced the
keepers Of the hell-holes of Libby and
Andersonville as "murderers and tor
turers" That is the groundwork for
all this Democratic tumult. Now,
Winder, of Libby, and Wirz, Of An
dersonville, were very good Demo-
Gratis. Their Democracy was of a
pronounced type, and Of a character
that made them excessively popular
with Democrats of the North. These
are the men slandered by Senator In
gals. OF course no man would think
of the Democrats Of to-day taking
any interest in the war of 81 Why,
the very mention Of it causes the
manifestation Of type of hysteria in
the Democratic system Mention, did
we say? Well, it depends on who
makes the mention. When one of
the traitors who carried arms against
the Government stands In the House
or Senate and howls his hatred at the
very name of Federal Soldier" the
Democratic antipathy suddenly van
ishes, and the smile that spreads over
the Democratic countenance can al
most be measured in feet. But let
the mention come from man who
stood up in defense of the flag of his
country, and there is sorrow, deep and
genuine, among the Democracy. Why
is this so? Let us see what have been
the claims of the parties to public
favor:
Republican party-Human Free
dom, Equal and Exact Justice to All
Men, Protective Tariff, Free Ballot,
Honest Count, Fair Representation,
The Preservation Of the Union.
Democratic Party-Human Bon
dage, Disunion, Rebellion, Murder,
Toture, Notification, Forged Elec-
tion Returns, Free Trade, Treason,
and general and utter incompetency
and unworthiness.
Those are the claims, and the his
tory Of the parties prove that the
claims are we'll taken and that they
fttingly characterize the work of the
parties. The Rebel Soldier has the
to stand up in Congress and
hurl at man like Ingalls, the taunt
that he did not enter the field as
soldier, while the same Rebel fought
as perjured traitor, trying to tear
down the flag Of the Union and de-
stroy the Government Of the United
States. Oh, it is not at all wonder
full that these fellows do not like the
talks of ingalls, Of Kansas. The wolf
does not care to wait and listen to
the voice Of the man who is guarding
the sheepfold; the animal pants for a
nice quiet place, where he will not
hear the song of his misdeeds.
That the Copperheads do not like
to hear of the war, is because the
did not take an honora-
BILE part therein. Not man who did
his duty in those trying hours will
object to reference to the experiences
OF the times, or the conduct of the
political parties at that time Strike
a traitor, and only traitors will cry
out. Denounce torture, and the tor
turer will be angry. Advocate justice
to the soldiers of the Republic, and
only the enemies of soldiers will op-
pose. Strike at the record Of the Re
bellion, and you hit Northern Cop
perhead squarely between the eyes.
