WHY IAM A DEMOCRAT.
1st. Because 1 believe in the Constitution
as it was formed by the fathers of the Re-
public, and uuder which our country has
prospered, as no other nation has prosper
ed, for eighty years, or sincs the end of the
war of the Revolution, and would have pros-
pered more, and heen united still, had
tained possession of the Government.
2d. Because I am opposed to any infringe- ! joathing, disgust ; others, pity. Que ofthe
ment ou the r'ght of abens corpus,the great | latter classes came up before (he magivirate
security of cur personal liberty.
3d. Because I believe in the right of free
specch, without which we ars worse than
slaves, ’ .
4). Because Iam opposed to a coniolid-
sted government which would reduce ths
people to tho condition of serfs or sub-
jecla.
Bih. Because 1 am opposed to the rule of
alolitionism, with the enimty to onr glor,
icus old Ucnstitution, calling a covenant with
death and a league with hell.”
6th. Boenuse ¥ amoppossd to frauds in
government contracts, which have been xo
many sod so great, during the war, aa to be
beyond calculation, and sovm to have gone
unpaaished. : y
7th, Bucause I sm opposed to all interier—
enco, from whatever source, with ths right
of suftrage.
8th. Because I am in favor of fieedoin of
press and the fair criticiam of those who con
duct the nffairs of our government.
9:h. Because am in favor of equal rights
in ail the States, as gtaranteed by the Con-
stitution, aud as interpreted by the Supreme
Court.
10th. Becenso I em opposed to emancipa-
fon proclamations rsking free the slaves of
the South,’and inciting them to msuriection,
which while it has enited the South, as one
man against the North has divided the North
agninst itself?
11. Because I beleive that the salzation of
our Government can be attained only by the
sievation-of the Demosratic party to the con.
trol of the Government, which, whila it had |
the power, maintained the dignity of the na-
tion at home and abroad.

take command of a new military department.
to consist of the free States west of the.
Alleghenier, and his chic business will be
‘the enforcement of the conscription act."
Of course General Butler a3 not gone to
Washington * for nothing.” That he will
get a cowinand no one doubts, eiihough he
war withdrawa from New Otleans on account,
of his Tratal and disgraceful conduat in thst
Departwent. The Aldministralion went just
auch men to do their work ; and the cless vo
which he belongs are freely permitied 5

such galiantand devoted apirits as M'Clelisu.
Fraukiin and Fiz John Porter, are kept out
of service and prevented from doing bsitie
for their imperiled country. -Geu, Butler,
therefore, need not wait long for something
to *¢ turn up,” as his valuable services wil
soon be rewarded with another sommsand,
by those who fully appreciate Lis ohara;ter
