It is beyond doubt that the temper of
the Democratic party is not ehang"d or
improved since tlio (ermitiiiiion of the
war, but on the contrary it sei ins to have
been greatly embittered by defeat in the
field and nt the ballot. box. Its Fyinptt

thn right of secession and righteousness
in the lehellii The tri o, cpirii. of the
Deuiocraliu party in Ir.diaint has recent
ly received a lemnrkaMe illustralion I lint
should command the so'cniu considera
tion ot the people,
'Some four or live weeks since a con
vention was held in the city of Louisville
composed in, largo part of men who
had been engaged in the rebel nrnuc'.
Thete men assembled in convention,
proclaimed thenuelves mi mbers of the
National Democratic party, and dcckir
od their unfaltering devotion to its time
honored principles. Tin ytvindie.iled the
righteousness ot the rebellion and declar
ed their stern purpose to maintain at lh(.
ballot box the sacred principles for which
they bad taken up anus. Prominent
Indiana Democrats met with thiin in
Convention j mingled '.heir tears with
those who W'pt over Southern heroes;
uttered glowing eulogies, upon the tiiem
ory of Stonewall .lack-on and John
Morgan, and endorsed tluir most ultra
mid treasonable doctrines ; and to show
the complete identity between this as
sembly f'f traitors and the Democratic
party vt Indiana, the Indianapolis Ikriiil
the organ of the party, in thu blondest
and most unqualified manner, earnestly
and enthusiastically endorsed its pio
cecdings, resolutions and s'peehes, The
members ot this convention did lib,
disguise tlio fact that they were rcUds
and Northern Democratic IcudciR, believ
ing that the time for punishing trwison
has gone by, now make hnsto to declare
that they are ami have been united with
them in sympathy, Rcntiim-nt niid pur
pose, and that they will -co opntato wi'.li
them lo the bitter end, in restoring to
them what they call their lights, and in
repairing the damages done to them by
thu war. And lo t-how thnt this male
olei:t and treasonable spiiit is not con
lined to the Democratic leaders ol Iudi
una, numerous meeting'', resolutions,
newspapers nnd declarations, in every
part of the United States, may be rcler
red to, nnd especially the votes and
speeches ol the Dcmocialic members ot
Congress.
WHAT DKMOOIiATK) l.tr'ADIXS HAVE DONB.
The lenders who are now managing
the Democratic party in this State, nro
the men who at the regular pension tt
tlio Legislature in 18(11, declared that, if
an nrmy went from Indiana to nssist in
putting down the then approaching re
bellion it must fust pass over their dead
bodies
They aro tho men who in tho Demo
cratic Convontion on tho Slh of January
I8C2, gave nid nnd comfort to the rebel
lion, by resolving that tho South had
been provoked nnd driven into tho con
test by tlio unconstitutional nnd wicked
aggressions of tlio people of the North.
f53
They are the men, who, in speeches
and resolutions proclaimed that "South
ern detents gave them r.o joy, and North
ern disasters no Kirrows1" They arc
the men who exerted their influence to
prevent their Democratic Irieuds fium
going into the army, ,and who by their
incessant and venomous slanders iigaiiis,!.
the Govcn'uicnt tV'i ked tho spirit of
volunteering, and made drafting a ncco'i
ty. And when the draft bad bem forc
ed upon the country their wretched
subordinates inspired by thuT devilish
teachings endeavored in many places by
forco of arnis aril the murder of enroll
ing ofliecrs to precnt its execution.
They aro tho men who corresponded
ith the rebel leader in tho South, giv
ing them full information ot our condi
tion, and assuring them that a revolt!"
tion in public opinion was at hand, and
that they had hut to, persevere a few
months longer and the National Govern
ment would fall to pieces of its own
weight.
They arc tlio men w ho in the Legisla
ture of'lHfi.'J, allemptei! to oveilurn the
State Gove' nmeut and establish a Leg islative
(evolution by sciv.ing the n. Hilary
power of the Stale and trari.foning it
into the hands of four State officers three
of whom were members of the trcasona
bio society known as .the ''Sons el'L'.ber.
ty." They are the men, w ho, having failed
to overturn the State Government by
seizi' g the military power, dett '(mined
to defeat its operations and bring about
anarchy, by locking up (be public treas
ure and thus withholding the' money
necessary to cany on the Government
They aro the men who for the pur
pose of private (-'peculation, and to dis
credit tlieSlatc, before the world con
spired to prevent the pr.yniei'.t of the
interest on the public debt, by withhold
ini' tin org' i g. fn'o-Julcrt !jivry:t ti e
money ree'e ved from taxes, paid for that
very purpose. This lawsuit was fraudii-le-ntiy
smuggled through the Circuit
Court and lodged in the Supremo Cour'.
before the mut'ilcs of the ea-e had b"cn
read and signed by tiie Circuit Judge, or
he had been made nt.ipiaiiited with its
character and was hastily decided by
the Supremo Cuttrt nga'nst the credit ol
the State.
They are the men who introduced and
organized in this Statu that dangerous
ami wide-spread conspiracy lirst known
as thn "KnigUs ed Ihe Golden Circle,"
and alterwarils as the "S ins eif Liberty,"
which had for its purpose the overthrow
of the StNle and National Governments-
Not all ot them, it is true, belonged
foimeily to this infamous order, but
such as stood on the outside had knowl
edge o( its existence, purposes Mid plans
and cat chilly concealing their knowledge
was ready to accept it.s w ork.
To accomplish ihe hellish w oik of this
conspiracy, military oiliees w ere appoint
ed, m;litary organiz tlions created, arms
and ammunition purchased in immense
quantities and smuggled into the State,
coircspondcnce opened with rebel com
manders, and military combinations
agreed upon, rebel ofliecrs and agents
intiodueed into the capilol and conceal
eYl in hotels mid boarding houses, and it
was deliberately planned and agreed
that upon a day fixed, they wuuld aud
demly uprise, and murder the Executive,
seize the arsenal and its arms and am
munition, and releasing 0,000 rebel pris
oners in Camp Morton, put arms into
their bands, and with their combined
forces -licet a military and blocdy revo
lution in the Slate. This dreadful
scheme necessarily involved nuirder,
conflagration, robbery, and the commis
sion of oveiy climo whiih makes black
the chronicles of civil war. , ai d yet its
authors and al ettors, w ith the proofs of
their guilt piled mounliin high, are
nguin htruggling for power and asking
the people to put info their guilty hands
the government nnd prosperity ofthe
State. Some of these men w ho are high
in favor and authority in their putty,
nnd are largely entrusted with its man
ngoinont, have heretofore occupied i 111
ecs of great trust anil" respon-ibibiy in
which they proved to Lo recreant and
corrupt.
They nro the men who, in Ihe Legis
lature of Indiana bitterly opposed and
denounced every effort to confer tho right
of'siifTraga upon soldiers in tho field who
could not come home to vote
They nro tho men who wrote letters to
soldiers in tho nrmy, urging lliem to do
ner!, and nssuring them ot support nnd
protection if they did.
They aro tho mou who labored With
devilish zeal to destroy jho ability ot the
Government to carry ton the war by
depreciating its linaiiclal credit. They
assured tho people thjat "greenback"
would die on their hands, and warned
theiuseleu nly ng linst Government bonds
as a wicked device f fob thein eif their
money. j
They are the; men " do refused to con

They are the men who excused them
selves from coiiti'ibulinj; for tho releifot
soldiers' families at home by tho infa
mous slander that they 'were living bet

imputations on the ehiiftity of soldiers'
wives.

speeches, resolutions, anil by their votes
in Congress, that not noihcr man nor
anothe r dollar should he voted to carry

on a 'jruel war ngainsti their Southern
brethren i
They arc the mm wly in the midst cf
the last great campr,igij eif 1801, at tho
time when Sherman was fighting his
way, step by step, from Chattanooga to
Atlanta, and Grant was forcing Lee
back into l! e dele n-es of liichliiniid, in
desperate and bloody ba, th.'S Iroin day to
day; when the fate of the nation bung
in the bVnnce, and the world w atched
with breathless inteieSt the gig:inio
struggle w hich was to iettli! Ihe ipics--tu-ii
ol Ki piiblicau Government, assem
bled in Convention in Chicago and res
olved that tho war was n failure ; that
our cause was unjust, nnd thrrt we ought
to lay down our arms aril sue for peace'.
It was throwing a mountain into the
I
Confederate scale to la, ike the Union
kick the beam. It wara bold and des
i:.t:'i P reVec i:i lbnll'e.f the rebel-,
boil, r.' the very crisis -d' the fight. It
was an insult to tlio byd armies nt the
nation, so vast,' malignant and deadly
thai language can convey no adequate!
idea ol its weakness. jAnd in future
limes tho historian will j record the fact
with astoui-hincnt that the Government,
althe most critical moniciit of its life,
when n few hours or a lew days at the
larthe.-t. must, detei mine whether it
should live or die, could permit a'Jarge
body of its enemies to niH't upon its soil
in peace and security, and publish a lla
grant inanilesto in behalf of the rebellion.
Now, I do not mean to say. that all
the Demre'i'atio leaders' have done all
these things, but what I do" say ia this,
that the men who have done these thihgs
are combined togclher.t and constitute
Ihe real lenders ol' the D"liic,orati(t parly.
liiu lew moderate men of the paity
have becn'stripped of all power and in

merely tor numbers and policy, bile the
living mid aggressive element which con
trols it aro the "Sous tf Liberty" and
those who acted in sympathy and con

They arc the men who have pervert
ed the word Democracy, from its once
honorable meaning, to bo a shield ami
cover lor rebellion, and for every crime
that iiltachos to a causeless and atrocious
civil war. '

Every iinregenerated rebel, lately in

Every "bounty jumper," every 'deser

Howies, Millignn, Walker, Dod.l, Hor

Dcniicrats. Every "Son cf Liberty"
who conspired to murder, burn, rob

calls himself a Democrat. John Mor
gan, Sue Monday, Champ Ferguson,
U'irz, Payne, nnd Hooth proclaimed
themselves Democrats. Every m n who
labored for tho rebcllitn in the field,
w ho murdered Uni n prisoners by cru
cify and starvation, whu cinspircd to
bring about civil war in the loyal States,
who invented dangerous, compounds to
burn steamboats and Northern cities,
who coMrived hellish schemes to intro

pestilence of yellow fever calls himself

liveiy di-honest contractor who has
been convicted of defrauding tho Gov

disbursing officer who has been con
victed of fquundeiii'g tlw public tnoney
at the gaming table or in-gold gambling
operations every officer in the army
who vvaa dismissed for cowardice or;

Every- wolf in sheep's clothing, who

down negroes in thu streets, burns
negro school houses and meeting hous

the light of their own flaming devi'llings,
calls hrnsell a Democrat. Every New
Yoik rioter in lHt;:',, who burned up
hlllu children in ci.lored asylum who
robbed, ravished and murdered indis
criminately in thu-midst of a blazing
city tor three days and nights, called
himself a Democrat.
In short tho Democratic parly may
be described as a common sower and
loathsome receptacle, into which i emp
tied every element ot treason North and
South, and every element ot inhumanity
nil hailurism which has dishonored
the ago.
And this parly, 'composed of the men
and elements I have described, in dell -mice
of truth and decency asserts itself
as the special champion of tho Constitu
tion and thu Union, which but a short
sixteen months ago it was in arms to
destroy; and proclaims to an astonished
world that the only c fleet of vanquishing
armed rebels in the field, is to return
them to scats in Congress, and to restore
them to political power. Having (ailed
to destroy the Constitution by force, the.V
feck lo dj it by constru.ition, and as
sume lo hive mule the remarkable dis
covery that rebels who lotiglit to destroy
thj Constitution were its true friends,
and, Ilia', the men who shed their blood
and gave their Mibslanc; lo preserve it
were its only enemies.
Dl-MOCKATltJ rUUl-OSltS AM) POI Il'V.
Ami now let us inquire what meas
ures the Democratic parly are for aflir
matively. It is and has been opposed to
whate ver the! Union party is in favor ol,
but it has also a positive and iiflirina
tive policy, which it is important that
the people should tliideistand, The
great and leading measure of i's policy
is the immediate and unconditional ad
missii ii of a full repre sentation in both
Houses of Congress from the rebel
State's : that the' test oath shall he repeal,
ed : that there shall be no punishments;
that there shall bo no political or civil
disabilities imposed upon any man w ho
lias been engaged in the rebellion ; that
there shall be no amendment, to the Con
stitution lo make it conform to the
changed circumstances of the nation :
that there. shall he no legislation to pre.
vent the furl her recurrence of future rs
be.'!lioii!biit that Union men and rebel,
Union soldiers anil robe! soldiers, shall he
put upon a perfect equality before the
law. and that no honors or rcivards shall
bo extended to tho one which are not
equally bestowed upon the other. In
pi-'otil of this last position, lei mo refer
you lo the notorious fact that, in their
speeches and newspapcis they bestow
brilliant and glowing panegyrics upon
the genius anil yiitues eif General Lee,
but are significantly silent about Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan They weep
copiously over the memory ot Stonewall
Jackson, but have not a tear to shed for
the untimely deaths of Lyon, Kearney,
Mcl'herson and Ilaeklenian. They
mourn from day to day over the factitious
Kutleriugs of Jefl" Davis, but have neve
yet expressed a regret for the murdered
thousands at Andcrsonvillo nnd Salis
bury. These things point to their feelings
and their policy wilh llio unerring cer
tainly of tho needle to the pole, and
lenvelho rational mind without shadow
of doubt as to what they would do
should they again come into control of
the Government. TJiey are opposed to
equalizing thu representation North and
South, because" it would diminish the
power of the rebels in Hie Government
Theyaro opposed to prohibiting thy
assumption of the rebel war debt, -for
that would be to prevent them from do
ing just what, they intend to do should
they get the power.
We nro nli'lc fo predict with absolute
certainty what would bo their first meas
ures should the great cahniiily happen
that they otne into jfower. They
would assumo tho rebel war eleb't, and
put tho owners of it upon tho fiinio foot
ing with tho holders of llio stocks of tho
United States i they would pension rebel
soldiers nnd the families of rebel soldiers,
bestowing upon them equal honors nnd
employments with tliofo who belonged
to the loyal" armies of the) Nation j they
would nsncailyns possible rcdiicu the
freedinen ot tlieS. uih back to theoondi'
tion of -slavery by depriving thein of all
protection and civil righ's. They would
harrass and oppress Union men both
North and South, by subjecting th- in to
vindictive law suits, and to the brutal
veiig".'ince-id rebels whom Ihey had de
li'.lled in arms.
And most important of all, they would
proclaim lin; right f secession, and bid
the Southern States In go it they yet
wished to do so, and tell tho Slates of
I lie North wesj; to go in peace and-ioriii
a Northwestern Confederacy, if such
was their desire. There is not an ac
tive Democratic leader in the North west
to-day who has not from tho beginning
of the war asserted that tho people eit,
Ihe Nor; li were the aggressors, nnd tlnfl
the people of the South were stau bug
justly in defense of their cons.itut'oiial
rights.

While the war was in progress (lop-,
perhead politicians denoiiii'.icil Union
soldiers as "Lincoln hirelings," a i mi r
eenaries, and' as lighting lor nay and
plunder, and not for principle, ami their
treatment ol Union soldiers now is pro-y

I have not attempted to autioipato the
action of Congress or the President, or,
to discuss things that aro settled, or any
issues that, do not seem necessarily in

in conclusion I exhort he Union n on ot
Indiana not to sullVr themselves to be
enticed from the consideration of. tho
groat questions by Hide issues, whloh
Demoeraliei politicians nro busily engag-l
ed iu thrusting forward. The "interests
at stake aro too vast and vt' ul to bo en
dangered by division iu our own ranks
upon immaterial questions, or by bring
ing forward matters which, although
may he important in themselves, can
gain nothing by being pressed at a timu
like this.
