A. History of the Great Struggle in
pnerica between Liberty
and Despotbni.,
,Before proceeding farther with the
proofs that the Republicans, if President
Lincoln were now living, would abuse him
in the same manner as they now abuse
President Johnson, it is necessary to shew
what, this party, now calling itself a Rad
ical party, is. All know the Radicals as
the adversaries of the Democrats, but all
do not know the reasons for the antagon
ism which now exists, and has ever exist
ed between these two political parties in ,
the United States. The first, description
of these •Republicans which we give, is
taken from the pen of lion. John W. or
ney. In 1856 he wrote as follows:
"The adversaries of the Democratic
party Gave dissolved the American Union
in advance, so far as by their own action
they sin consunaate that direful result.—
They talk of peace, and in their conven
tions proclaim a policy which must end
in civil war. They appeal to Heaven 1,0
sanctify a movement which, if successful,
will destroy the fairest fabric of freedom
on the globe. They invite our country
men to support their cause in the midst
of the most irreverent blasphemies of the
Constitution. They have already suc•
ceeded in dividing the Christian Church,
and now they would lay thoir hands up.
on the bulwarks of our Liberties. He
would wrest the Constitution from the
glorious purposes to which it was dedica
ted by its founders, and they would erect
at Washington a sectional despotism,
whose presiding divinities would be hos
tility to the equality of the States, and re
lentless war upon the South. The party
that avows opposition and hatred toward
the Southern States as its motive and rule
of action, is entitled to no aid or comfort
from any man who loves his country, or
desires to be faithful to its government.—
The greatest, the wisest, and the best
men this country ever produced, have
warned us that the Union could. not last
under the control of such a party."
That is a truthful delineation of the par
ty which now controls the destinies of
this nation. Although the writer of The
abote, for the sake of Office, jOined
seittileret o, that party, is
.the sarap.:tb
dky, al then.l The Union Could-not last
under their control—and it will never be
restored under their control. This histo
ry will prove that theseadversaries of the
Democratic party are responsible for the
disseution of the Union, as far as it, is
dissolved.
=MOS
That their hatred of the Southern peo
ple brought on the o:vil war.
That they were trilling for tho sake of
power, "to destroy the fairest fabrio of
freedom on the globe,"
That , they blasphemed the Constitution,
which was signed by the Father of our
country by denouncing it, as "An agree
ment with death and a covenant with
bell."
That tjley were the means of dividing
the'Christian churches North and South,
by holding the Southern people up to the
world as " the enemies of God," and that
it would be well pleasing in Ills sight to
have the uegroes ruse and cut the throats
of th,e-whites, .artilthatAbey, labored faitlf
.'ftir more than thirty . year®
setsile infinrrection, with all its
horrors, upon the South.
That they villified, abused, and slan
dered the Southern people for the ex
press purpose of driving them out of the
Union, and that they hate them no-worse
now that they can call them "Rebels,"
than they bated them before,
.1 9 these columns our extracts and
proofs must necessarily be brief, but We
will give a sample of the slanders and the
abuse heaped upon the Southern people
by the "adversaries of the Democratic
party," by the following extract from
the Independent of /856, a religious pa
per, published, as an organ of the Puri
tans. It says':
"The mass of the population of the
South are descended from the transport
ed convicts and outcasts of Great Britain.
Fora century previouslo-the Revolution,
thousands of these offscourings of the
jails and bulks of England; were poured
out on the shores of. Maryland, Virginia,
the Carolinas, and Georgia, and nowhere ,
else. These were the . penal colonies of

Now is it to be supposed that these, 10 0 -
°WM° people who were so analouS to
say good bye and goi:2 riddance torever
to the South, ever Intend to be burdened
.and disgraced again by Chetr citizenship ?
Are not the white'people of the South to
be disfranehised, and the' negroes to be
en fran Thizipf citizenship
taken from the' whiles anti - Conferred on
the blacks ? And have not the Demo
crats told the truth 'when they asserted
that this war was prosecuted on the part
oftheir adversaries for no`other purpose
than to subjugate the Southern people,
and reduce them below the level of their
negro slaves P
Before we proceed further we shall
prove the falsity and baseness of the above
tirade against the South. In the History
of the United States,' by John Howard
Hinton, an English historian, "who was
assisted," says the New Encyclopedia,
" by several European and American wri
ters," is the following contradiction of
the above slander.. It says:
"The Virginia company were directed
by Icing James to transport to Virginia
one hundred idle and dissolute persons,
then in custody for various misdemean
ors, They were distributed through the
colony as servants to the planters. Much
has been said on This ~by writers, but the
influence of these outcasts was not of long
coptinuauce, fur nearly the whole number
of then! died singie. The stain upon the
co)Ony ia.tAnjuAtly continued by historians,
who copy their predecessors, without ex
amining the source of information they
thjs manner error And preju
dice aro ofien, perpetuated, and gain
strength from the, lapse , of years."
As regards that ." true and nobly de
scended tree •Americen. people, who have
too long endured theirloathsome connee-
Lion with these Southerners," we shall
give a true history hereafter, and show
that besides enslaving both' ndians end'
Negroes, the Puritans 'inflicted physical
punishments on thevbite race In their
midst, who dissented from 'their notions
of religion,.etlual, =wording to the pope
laticm to elf the corporeal punishmentain
flict4by-theSoutherners•npon the negro'
slaves. They used tire latli'Over the baelth
,of the Quakers and'ibptiSts—they thrust
them into - the *locks,' into fined
them, banished thent,and distressed them .
and other "heretics" in various modes,
which if collected tegether, would unfold
an amount of cruelty far exceeding the
cruelty' they have accused the South of in
flicting upon the blacks in: the same length
of time. The Kit* of England interfered
and put a stop to their persecutions for a
time; but it will be proven that, If these
Southern people, towardstwhote they hold
such deadly hate, had not guarded the
Americmi, people against the intolerance
of the Puritans, they . would have contin
ued their persecutions tinder the govern
ment of the United' States. It was the
Democratic party that gave all the white
people of America their civil and relig
ious rights; of which the Puritans bad de
prived them, and this crusade ' against
this par North and South, is not otily
a politibal hut a religions persecution, by
the same Puritan party.
We shall prove "that, although these
New England Puritans pretend the South
ern people are descended from the pick
pockets and highwaymen of Old Eng
land, they sought a political alliance with
them and endeavored to bring them over
to Federalism ; arid that if the " Rebels,"
these " wicked slaveholdere"—these " de
"seendants of the outscourings of Great
Britain"—would have consented to form
a pOlitieal alliance with these countrymen
of Fisber Ames, and united with them
in - establishing either a monarchy or an
aristocracy over theArtlerican people, in
stead of a Democracy, they would have
thought them the wisest and best people
in the world.
We shall show that this very Frderal
statesman, Fisher Ames himself, one of
the aristocrats of New England, visited
Virginia for the express purpose of court
ing a political alliance with these " vilest
of the living vile." Yes I The very par
ty which is now courting the negroes of
the South first offered - their bands to their
masters, and were reftised. Hetice their
hatred and their spite against them.—
Now that they have them under their
feet by the conqudst of arms, they mean
to compel them at the point of the bay
onet to acquiesce in the establishment of
a „monarchy. As So uthern people
would not, assist , themot their own free,
will, but fought against then) when they
attempteitto fottnd a monarchy , in the
United States when the . government was,
formed, they now` deVlare that - they shall

INortality of Officers eernparet with
Enlisted MM.
The Frov: . ost. Marshal's report, lately
issued by the War Department, gives
these striking statistics, Showing the corn
'parative mortality of officers, and enlisted
men dpring t be' War
Froma earefnl compilation of Or rolls, , _
'aninino r rit: ireitteot,
ter out , which resulted from, military ser
vice previously_ riend'ered„ appeankthat
280,739 men and officers have lost their
lives in the army. Of this number 5221
'commissioned officers and 00.886, enlisted
men have kilted in action or died of
wounds, while 2321 commissioned officers
and 182,329 enlisted men died Of disease,
or in some few cases- from accidents. It
will be observed that of killed in battle
and died of wounds • there is one officer
to eighteen men, showing somewhat great
er, mortality on the part of officers, who,
supposing the organization to be full, con
stitute about ono fifth part of, the forces.
On the other band, only one officer to
ninety men has died of disease. The re
markable disproportion so greatly, to the
advantage of the, commissioned :class, is
owing to several- causes. Officers:are bet
ter sheltered than:men, and their food is
generally better • quality and more va
ried in kind, solhat they suffer less from
disease of the digestive organs. They are
not so much, crowded together in tents
and quarters, and are therefore less sub
ject to contagiousand, epidemic maladies.
