REVERENCE FoR REBELS.—Just at
this’ time the Northern Democrats
show great reverence for such rebels as
cling to the “lost cause.” Forrest, the
hero of the Fort Pillow massacre was
received with demonstrations of joy by
the Democratic Convention, while
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan were de@oanced. Frank Bait, the Deinocratic
candidate, speaking of rebels, said : “In
that contest for which they are sought
to be Gisfranchiséd and © éxiled” from
their homes, in thatcontest they proved
themselves to be our peers.” The seme
“speaker, in commenting upon Grant's
expression, “Let us have peace,” says:
“The peace to which Grant invites us
is the peace of despotism and death.”
His praise is all for rebels and his vitu“peration for the soldier to whom the
country is indebted for the Union. —
"The Chicago Jimes, the leading Demo‘ctatic paper of the West, in eulogising
Wadé-Hampton and other rebels who
participated . in the nomination of Seymour, gays: “Would to God that Lee,
than whom in all> that constitutes true
nobility, a better mais not—was at
‘their head—The people would rise up
to do Lee reverence.” By the people,
the Democracy is meant, and it ~undoubtedly reverences Lee,but what for?)
Lee distingcished himself jn fighting
for the cause of treason and for this he
is réverenced, But the Times has a
word to say for Grant. The Great General of the Union armies, who fought
under the flag of his country and defeated Lee in évery contest, is spoken
of by this Democratic paper as “the cattail strategist, the Jacobin candidate
for President.” And thus itis all over
the country, the Democrats have words
for praise for traitors and nothing but
_ denunciation for those who stood by
the nation in its hour of darkness and
peril. Wise and Vance, who hold that
that the rébellion is not yet dead, but
that the lost cause will live again with
the success of Democracy, are statesmen
and have “proved themselves to be
our peers,” as Blair says, but Governor
Brown, of Georgia, atid Longstreet, who
advocate the Union causein the South,
are maligned and abused. If Blair alludes to the cringing, fawning Democracy of the North,that has forgotten the
teachings of Jackson and become the
tools of their rebel betters in the South,
and who are now engaged in praising ra
rebels and denouncing Union Generals,
he does not go far enough. Therebels
are not only peers but masters of those
fellows.. They, makethé. politics for
the Northern Democpacy of the present
day, and when. thé Southern traitors
State Tights and secession,
orthern doughfaces say with one
voice, aafen. No loynl mancan mark
the atuse of Union Generals and the
ise of rebel leaders by Democrats,
“ withott feéling that the méd ‘who engage in such a course are unfit to live
under a free government or enjoy its
protection.
i ¢ #
Ir is ramored that two 6fthe most
-prominent Major Generals who took
part in the soldiers and sailor’s gather.
‘ing held it'New York'during the Demobratic Convention, are “kicking in the
trades,”” and are only, held back by very
powerful influences from declaring for
Grant and Colfax.’ ms
: fe pee See Governor, To
ee gle 9 deny that Blair in his
letter to Broadhead meant revolution,
The Soathern Democrats all claim that
zine published=in the United States
claims that that letter got him the .
unanimous. nomination for Vice Presi.
dent. It says, after quoting Blair's let—.
ter: “It was this brave letter which .
gave General Blair the unanimous 2omination for Vice President on the first
Pballot. We know that incompetency
and cowardice will talk about impradence in such:a distinet avowal of duty,
but it cannot be denied that it pave
General Blair-the nomination, and it
will fire the hearts of the people’ at
_. the ballot box.” This magazine speaks
for the Democracy of the United States,
and interprets Blair's letter to mean
exactly what Republicans charge, a
declaration in favor of overthrowing
State governments by foree.
Tne Kuklux of Tennessee, says the
Atta, do not appear to be the peaceful
masqueraders that their Northern defenders would have us believe, The
telegraph says that a party of them,
masked, actually entered Nashville on
. the night of the 16th, and assassinated
a Prussian jew. . The unfortunate man
is said to haye been a ,‘Radical,” which
is, of course, sufficient cause for his assassination, but. the real reason was
probably liis having a negfo clerk, who
appears to have been mortally wounded
also. Yet, in the face of such outrages
as these, we are gravely assured by our
Democratic friends that the South is in
a state of abject terrorism, and that the
Southern people are oppressed bya severe military rule. If there1s any terrorism, it is in the hands of the= rebel
ruffians, who murder those politically
opposed to them, and proscribe every
Northern man among them.
Tae Wheeling, Va. Intelligencer says:
“Between Mannington and Hessville
are several tanneries by the rogd side,
which adopt a device very suggestive
of their owners’ politics. At each a
fine Grant and Colfax flag floats from a
\pole, and under neath the flag from a
sort. of spar, is, suspended a janned
hide. “fhis hide is intended to symbolize the codition of the Democracy in
November.” ~~
: ~
THE railroad bridge.now in course
of construction over the Ohio river, between Louisville Kentucky, and Jeffersonville, Indiana, it is stated, will be
twenty-four spans ; two of these will be
870 feet each, and six 346 feet each._—
The remaining sixteen spans will be
192 feet each in length. Excepting on
the longest spans, the rails will be
placed on the tops of the girders, these
being of a class known as the Fink truss.
The estimated cost of the bridge, which
is to be completed by Sep r lst,
1869, is $1,600,000. he j
OFFICIAL papers Mave come to light
showing that the Democratic Execu» of Ohio have assessed a
n of ten cents a head on each
tic voter in the State, to carry
1e campaign. The County Committee are to collect it through the
agency of ‘sub-committees. The last
ten-cent contribution by the Democracy
was for the benefit of Vallandigham
exclusively.
WHEN Blair, in 1860, during the
campaign in Indiana, branded the Democracy as a “vile, miserable party,”
and abused Douglas so fiercely, Dan
Voorhees called Blair the “prince of
blackguards.” Blair in return branded
Voorhees as a “hell-hound.” Now the
“bell-hound supports the {prince of
black guards.” A nice couple traly.
