DEMOCRATS MISTAKE IN 1861.
"Ar the outbrl * OF 5he late civil war
great many Democratic leaders left
The party To emphasize their devotion
40 The Union. The result Was that
while ths great mass CT the Democratic
PARTY Of the North was loyal, it was LETT
no the active leadership OF the South
ern .smypathizers. and worse, and was
thus placed iu an aJCude or hoslAty
fec, was 20 give encouragement to the
people Of the South, and TO cause great
Embarrassment to those engaged in sup
press NJ the rebellion, and 10 prolong
the war at least two years.
"It has always seemed 10 me Chat
those men who left The Democratic party
al thai time could have performed a
greater service to the country by re-
naming in it and fighting the battles
OF the Union within the Democratic
party: and that in most, il not all tde
Northern States, 5hey could have
brought the Democratic party up 10 de-
clare itself squarely and unqueS-onaDly
Tor q vigorous prosecution Of the war,
as was done in this State IN 1852, and
thus have terminated the war more
speedily, saved millions Of dollars, and
thousands OF lives 10 the country, and
incidentally have restored the Demo-
cratic party TO power many years sooner.
