GILLIEUT, See'y, +te The True Party Issue. -. The party now in power in the Mate _and National Government lfas, by. its vilc: • slanders and defitinationi forced the Deni oc.ratic party into the tiosition„of self-vin dicition. Time Republican leaders bave . charged; -and are daily reiterating - the in thmout libel upon Democrats, that they are traitors and 'disunionist:3i and have thereby, in,thus holding out such an idea to time South, encouraged the Slave . States in their rebellion.' The Democrat ic party has always battled manfully for ihellnion and the, Constitution; and is now engaged in the proportion of at least three to one in defending. the tint-honored - tlaa of our cotninon country on the battle fields of Virginia. But whilst they are; Nnstajning the Government in this war for the Union, Demeerati mean to insist: up on keeping up their own .party: organiza tion, and will repel the rile assault of the Republican party whenever or wherever offered... They have no faith - whatever . in the principles or policy of the Republican party, or in its ability to, carry on this war to a suteeessful termination, or to adMieis ter 'the Government in a creditable or.' constitutional Manner; and they,. are de termined to war upon it. in a legitimate,.l way-until it-is swept front _poker in ,the State and Nation. The • senseless cry of treason and traitor will not,..lieter Demo crats from the exercise of the undoubted right the . ) , have underlliti. Constitution of examining the conduct of our rulers, and of condemning that -conduct when they] think it .deserves, condemnation. De - mo-. 1 Crate knw their rights as loyal citizens, and mean to maintaintliem at every" haz ard, though parasites and pensioners and plunderers of the Government, and' their sliders and abettors,bellow treason at every street corneror on the highway; nor will .they-have anything to do . with a fusion of the-parties \ asacivocated iu,- certain guar ters, If the .Republicans, are- already sick Af their name_ and their principles, let them disavow 'both, and- thereby Ateknoieledge that its baleful -race is run"; bnt they,cannot perpetuate it by the old trick Oa fresh baptism; -alias -"Union": party.. Id; leaders *oulii not resort -to this expedient if their party could 'stand alone. They know its imbecility and odi -onsness, and wish to tioVerup both by a newdodge, Rut hovon't do. The 'Cid : cago platfertlnia - hd.,its - day, and its • .dectimes are a stench in the tap,,t4is of the Americau peopi q ,•- petr l ciprO i insist peon a platfOrrn poeetrneted of other ma: ;amis.
