Democratic Patty.


Tho results q our elections will perhaps Ev
misunderstood Ia Europe, and the uprising Of
the great democratic party be deemed, by those
not fully conversant with American affairs, as
unfavolable to q continuance of The war. No
thing can be farther from the truth. The change
which has grown over the people SO rapidly
does not proceed from desire for peace at all
hazards-even that Of disunion--but from
firm ard unwavering determination 10 bring the
war to speedy, glorious conclusion The
democratic party has become disgusted at the
intrigues of those radical politicians who have
conducted The war with a view TO their own
selfish designs, and with but little thought or
care for the Union. AbeliIionism has run ram
pant over and above our great cause. and the
people. the democrats-those who have ever
been The most determined, the proudest
supporters OF the Unon-are no longer
willing to stand patiently by while the
destinies of our country are jeopar-
died by the intrgues Of the radicals.
The conduct Of the war up to the psescnt. time
has betrayed incapacity to. say the lcast and
the great democratic party has deiermi.ed to
take things into its own hands and prosecute
the war with gigor and determination; in fact
TO make good and entire use Of those enor-
nous resources we possess.


Lei not European politicians suppose for a
moment that the triumph Of the democratic
party will he the signal for foreign intcrven-
ton. TIE democrats are the true patriots, and
they would repulse interference to the death,


The assumption of power by the democratic
party marks the commencement Of q new era in
the history Of the rebellion. There will be no
more inexplcsble delays, scandalous quarrels
among chief officers and unaccountable remlss-
ness in attending to the wants, the necessities
of cur armies. A stern purpose. an inteXibc
determination TO conquer q peace, will he evnced
by tho democrats, is evinced already, by the
great changes which have swept over political
parties within the last two years. Intrigues
end petty personal schemes will be laid aside
when tho democrats are in power, and the cause
Of the Union be made paramount. The Presi-
dent will be ably, heartily supported, not
hampered as now; aud when democracy shall
rule let European monarchies beware how they
trias with the dignity Of our great nation.
The elections prove that the people are
awakening to sense of the danger OF such
course of policy as has been pursued up to the
present time by those in power, and that they
desire change Of rulers. The people are de-
termined in their desires for the reconstruction
of the Union, aud they understand that the
radicals are incapable of achieving such re-
suit. Those who fear the advent to power Of
the democrats assert that the latter will have
peace even at the cost of disunion. This false
hood will be swept away by the energetic mea
sures which the democrats will take for the
prosecution Of Tho war. They will have peace,
no doubt but it will be q glorious one--a con
quered peace then shall we once more
become the Omitted States" the great demo
cratic republic. The advent to power of the
democrats will be the signal for the cessation,
not the furtherancs, Of European intrigues
against the Union. Foreign po lticians will
understand that at last the American people
have risen in their might and they will respect
their power. They will understand that the
period Of delays, intrigues and political schemes
is gone by, that any further interference were q
dangerous course to pursue.
