Ef7•We would call the - attention of our
readers to the excellent speech of the Mu.
Geo. W. , Woodward, published on the out
side of td ; day',3 paper. fad we of had
snob man as Judge Woodward .at the head
of *Heins when this war broke out, in the
place of the disunion Abolitionist. there
would be no war now,; all would be peace
and quiet, the Union would still exist, not
cemented with blood, but Wood by the
affections of the people.

Notwithstanding the'littsertiOns of Men
that the/ are not abolitionisii and'idoltot
lilong' to the abOlttion party, yet we may
ark down every mm that does not act
with the good old dettioeratio party, as its
opponent, and those who are opponent of
the proncspies of democracy are enemies to
' the government of obr father& no matter
what name they may am) t ine or to what or
ganization they may elaith to belting. "Ile
that is net for us is against us," add the
MAO who rails against •varty politics" and
d.mounces the ellorts made by the donoera -
Cf ttll place men who will aitnitister the
atiairs of the government according to dem
i oeratio.ideasi in Power, cannot bb looked
upon as a friend at' the Constitution or as a
lover of liberty. Whatever pieties may
have existed prior to the campaign
,of 1860.
j were - swallowed up in that struggle, and to
! clay there are hut two organizaitions, the one,
Democratic, in favor of Rephblitiiiit govern
ment.; Abo Mime, in favor of Mona
archy and negro equalization. With ono or
the other of these two parties, mere must
, act, and he who casts his vote other than
foi a democratic candidate:can rest - is - eared
that his influence' and suppoit• have been
Igiven to the men who aro now violating law
and trampling the Constitution 'under foot
Ifor the sake of nbolitioni,m. It is noihonor
for a man to stand' up and denounce Wien
dell Phillips, Hemel Greeley, and others of
that ilk, while, at the same time, lie is la
boring to sustain-Abrahtun Lincoln in ircrtr
sad° against sinvery, midis the specious
priflext of "restoring the Union." 'Abra
ham Lincoln is as much of, an abuli tionist as
either of the others can be;lonly he has not
she courage or the manliness to acknowledge
it as this' have, nor the ability ,to defend his
position that they possess. We have heard
hundieils of persons siv that they are not
abolitionists, and at the same time take par
ticularliahis to Merin us that they_ cij)_ mot,
believe in democratic doctiine, but Oat they
still are n publicans, no-party men or some
, thing of that4kilitl.,
Now. we have only to say that such per
ions are either wilfully blind of contempti
bl)• icno ant. The Chicago Platform is the
creed of those who are opposed to democra
e and the matt tt h t supports that plalferin
or Pie men who have been elected upon it,
and, d}•niev being an abolitionist, i•t 'the
meateNt , •ffid most contemptible of beings.
And in the present crisis, when the issuais
plainly set between the t wo parties, ho g•lto
falters or fails to support democratic princi
ples, cannot be otherwisti dithi on (Mold:on

Between these two parties, then, no 'over
