CORRESPONDENCE of the Alexandra Gazette.I
WASHINGTON, July 6.
The action of the recent Omaha con-
vention has naturally revived the his,
tory of the third party's Presidential
nominee, and that history is by no
means calculated TO promote his cleo
tion. so far as the southern States are
concerned. as is made patent by the fol-
lowing extracts from his speeches: y
want to congratulate you first, my TEL
low citizens, on the suppression OF pure
" democratic rebellion, gotten up BY
democrats for the democratic purpose
ofdissevering the Union Independently
establishing human slavery. Now ana
forever it is establishing, as an eternal
truth. that the democracy in no place
or State can ever be trusted with gov
eminent. As a party II should dts6dnc,
inst as a section oft did at Appomattor."
Here we have the old fight over again
the Confederate democracy, North
and South, in which the Infamous cop
perhead division ofIowa appears. What
IS the use OF further arraigning the de-
fnnct democracy, with all its hoary
crimes, at the bar of public opinion :?
We know that its acts comprise
murder. treason, theft, Grson, fraud,
PERJURY and all crimes possible for
az Organization to conntce at
Ii would be mercy to put its recorc. a
million miles deep in the pit that is
mentioned in holy writ; and | may add
that if a large and distinguished assert
ment OF It's members were sent along it
would only be common justice" THE
same old gang: except those who were
shot or hung, are again conspiring to
get possession of the government. Woe
10 them. for the loyal hosts will crush
them and crush them forever and for
ever out of ali possible danger OF such a
misfortune to our common country, No
republican can ever, under any circum-
stances, have any part or lot with the
hungry, rebellious, man-hating, woman
selling gang corporated under the name
OF democracy, a name so full of stencil
and poison that it should be blottcd
from the vocabulary Of civilized man,
and handed over to the barbarism that
it has so fitly represented"
