with the false declaration that the Democratic


party is demoralized, has no strength or hold


on the people and that this was proven by the


last Presidential election. This is not true,


however much the Union may hope it is.


The candidates Of the Democracy received a


majority of the white votes of the United


States for President last Fall. and if those


who were with them at heart like the Union


Greeley would have been elected To de-


nonnce party as out Of existence that with


in few davs has defeated the election of a


Republican Governor of New Hampshire by


the people, and did the same in Rhode Island


with the Lieutenant Governor, and now has


carried Connecticut, State officers and Legis-


lature, electing the Governor by a plurality


of over 300. and a majority over all oppo


sition of nearly 4 900; and one whose organ


izat;ons are complete and healthy, embracing


nearly half the people Of the country, in the


nation and every State and county in the


Union, is an outrage against history and


fact, and one lily calculated to lead to fra


termination of the honest political elements of


the country. The Union fought with and


Tor the monopolies or Republicans (Which is


the same thing) until they have got a fast


hold on the money, patronage and all the


vanous clements in the country, including


the entire organization of its party, and while


this was going on the Democracy were fsht


ing it with gallantry unequaled since the


Revolution; and now the Union seeing the


wrought, leaves is party with disgust, and


denounces even those who labored to stay


the tide of destruction it was making. as de


moralized and ruined The Union has la


bored for this result but it has failed. WHY


does the Union assert that the World and
