'The county" needs repose from dis

legislation , it needs relief from up

by a change—change in the Federal

the candid reader to contrast for a
moment dui condition of the Lomitry
now, under Mongrel misrule, with
what it was before the accession 'of that
party to power. Let him look back
upon the time—not long past—when
there was a perfect Union ; when all
the States were bound to getber by
strongest Nan& and political ties; by
a coinmonlove of liberty and the in
stitutions which secure its enjoymreut
to all citizens ; by the mutual benefit
arising from commercial intercourse ;

Such was our condition before the
Mongrel party came into potter.
What is it now ? The Unidn dime -g

people denied representation in_ Con

blighted , their political rights taken
from them ; negro supremacy secured

The Mongrel Revolution
The .Vot , York World, in'speaking
of the recent usurpations of Congress
says, that they have been engaged in
the work of revolution ever sine the
surrender iff LEF.:I4 army. This is
about as long a retrospect as the
World and papers of its ilk dare
tale,for- „
Confederate armies, they were acting
with the enemy, and actively aiding
and abetting in the work of despot
ism.,
Hut lie can say. without fear of
crossing our own track, that the
work of revolution has been actively
carried on by the opposition to the
Democratic party ever since the old
Whig party went out of existence
While we believe that alik the Whig
respeccatilwand conserva
tive as they were in comparison with
Abolitionism, e(mtained the elements
of destruction to a government like
ours, we cannel charge ur on those
who ad vocated them a Av . /1J to o‘er

of the United States? and therefore
We (late die" revolution which now
threatens us with destruction from

our form of government, which had
always lurked among the enemies el

very fe initiation stone upon which our
republic is built.- Our only wonder
then and non is t hat lknttx•rats
would allow themselves to be &cov

revolutionist , . We well remember
when papers like the World were
crying out 'let us put down the 'in

aisle who wens beguiled into the

deepest sympathy, we confess that
we have not the slightest feeling of
respect for those members of our par- ,
ty whose weans of infeFmation were
good, and who suffered themselves to
be made instruments ler the delusion
of others, in the hands of the bloody
traitors who held possession of tite
machinery of governmem. Vol a
pretended Democrat who used Lis
voice or paper for the propagation of
the idea that in time/of-public danger
groat public questions ought tlut t ,

premo contempt ; anti for those
Democrats of standing who assisted
the Mongrels to break down the great
obstacle to arbitrary• government in
this Isountry,we cannot but entertain
the verb poorest opinion. They were
either bought with tlo money of the
opposition, _ intimidated ~ by 4beir
threats, or nave not-the capacity to
distinguished right from wrong ; and
i I either case they are unworthy to
be trusted by the people.
• But throughout these four bloody
years the revolution•went straight on
towards the consummation; and by
the time Southerp oPposition to its
progress had beeti crushed, all the
machinery for a Most galling tyranny
' was in the hands of the revolutionists.
IThen the last soldierof the Confede

the ;fanatical revolution appeared
more rapid, while- it was Pi - reality
