TRAITQRISM AND REBELLION.

.Communicated I No truly patriotic citizen can view the attitude of the Republican press and the party whose principles it eschews toward the General Government without realizing with alarm the forebodings of evil and civic demoralization. Although the party is virtually acephalous, there seems to be an undercurrent of rebellion and traitorism pervading the entire life and form oi the party from its conception to the post-mortem of its rotten carcass. ‘Conceived in s f n, and in iniquity was it begotten.’ Tile same element and desires exist to-day in the Republican party which precioitated the Rebellion, and if not checked by tlie nobler and manlier sentiments of the people who believe as many of our best statesmen did prior to and at the beginning of the Rebellion —that war is a wicked thing and ought by all honorable means to be avoided — these fanatics will override tj.e Constitution aud bring on another internal and devastating war. Among the shaded pictures of eventuality and on the golden pages of American history are recorded the names of the most astute Republicans, the greatest journalists, the foremost statesman, and the best jurists of that party.— They are the class to whom Daniel Webster referred when he said' If these infernal fanatics and abolitionists ever get the power in their hands they will override the Constitution; set the Supreme Court at defiance; lay v.olent hands on those who oilier with them in opinion and dare question their infallibility, and finally bankrupt the country and deluge it in blood.’ Henry Clay, that noble hearted statesman who ‘would rather be right than President,’ in recounting the acts, motives and passions of the fanatical, Abolition, Republican agitators and instigators of rebellion and disunion, said, ‘lf the Abolitionists, let me suppose, succeed in their piesent aim of uniting the inhabitants of the free States as one man against the inhabitants of the slave States, union ou one -side will beget union on the other, and this process of reciprocal consolidation will be attended with all the violent prejudices, embittered passions and implacable animosities which ever degraded or deformed human nature. Virtually dissolution of the Union will have taken place, whilst the forms of its existence remain. ‘One section will stand iu menacing and hostile array against the other. The collision of opinion will soon be followed by the clasli of arms/

Let us see what the sentiments of the founders of the Republican party were which kindled the nre of patriotism in the bosoms of Clay and! Webster, the greatest statesmen the country ever had, and j caused them to denounce these agitators and trait rs in such vindictive terms. Wm. Lloyd Garrison at an Abolition meeting in 1855, said, ‘This Union is a lie; the American Union is a sham, a covenant with death, an agreement with hell, and it is our business to call for a dissolution. * * * If the church is against disunion and not on the side of the slave, then I pronounce it as of the devil. Let us gi ;e to the winds the rallying cry, No Union with slave-holders socially or religiously, and np with the flag of disunion And again Mr. Garrison said: I have said again and again that in proportion to the % owthot disunionism will be the growth of the Republican or Free Soil party.’ Wendell Phillips said in 1849: ‘We confess that we intend to trample underfoot the Consti-

| tutionof this country. Daniel I Webster says you are a law--1 abiding people; that the glory ! of New England is that it is a law- a b idi 11 g community.’— j Shame on it, if this be true: if j even the religion of New En i gland sinks as low as the stutI ute book! I say we are ‘not’ a law-abiding community, and God be thanked for it.’ In 1855 Senator Wade, of Ohio, in a speech at Portland, Ma. said: ‘There is no Union with the South. Let mjhave a Union, or let us sweep away this remnant which we call a Union.— I go for a Union where all men are equal, or for no Union at all.’ At the Republican National Convention in 1856 Senator Hale said: ‘You are assembled, not to say whether this’Union shall be preserved, but to say whether it shall be a blessing or a scorn and hissing among nations.’ Senator Sumner, in 1855, said: ‘God forbid that for the sake of the Union we should sacrifice everything for which the Union was made!’ In 1856 Tliaddeus Stevens said: ‘The cry of The Union is in danger!’ is the argument of fools to an audience of idiots.’

In 1859 these same men adopted the following as one of their resolutions: ‘Resolved, That in advocating the dissolution of the Union, the Abolitionists are justified by every precept of the Gospel, by every principle of morality, by every claim >f humanity; that such a Union is a covenant with death, which ought to be annulled, and an agreement with hell which a just God cannot permit to stand.’ These are some of the ephemeral sentiments of the instigators of the war. he bailie was fought, tlie victory won and the war ended; and however much good may have resulted from the war; however sincere these agitators may have been, and notwithstanding their consciences may have been relieved of many burdens, and though the Union was restored, liberty established and a great nation formed of its shattered frame, yet the principles which underlay the moving elements of the precipitators of that or any other civic war were traitorism and rebellion. In view of all the sad events of the war, the irreparable wrongs, the entailed evils and influences on coming generation, the Republicans of to-day are agitating another internal con vulsion. A t

Blaine’s lamentation' meeting a 1 Augusta he proclaimed what the press ot his party heralded across the continent as the ‘key note fop 1888’—The Rebels are in power.’ We wish to say to our contemporaries, who advocate sectional differences, stir up animosity, attempt to engender reciprocal bitterness and promulgate doc trines derogatory to the harmonious union o£ the States, that the Union is in power and that they who agitate strife and instigate contention are ' traitors to the Government and 'Rebels to the Union. The ; Democratic party are to-day in favor of a Union without a war, and believe that every Rebel ought to be hanged.-*-T 1 lose Republicans, who, in ; 1°49 to 1860, advocated rebel lion, exhibit a vast deal of | cheek when they talk about j what glorious deeds they performed as Union men! Ye gods! This country is a Union with a big ‘U,’ and the Democratic party intends to main- ; tain it ‘with its life if need be ’ 1

Tom Wood’s Address to the People

Cbown Point, Ind., \ Dec. 3,1884. i To my friends of the Tenth District: I am deeply grateful for your earnest support and tender you my sincere thanks for your good and effective work.

Your cordial support will not bo forgotten and your confidence will not be betrayed.— Though beaten by a small majority many unbiased men wonder that the majority over me was not much greater than it is, when it is considered that this ('ongressional district has been largely Republican for more than a quarter of a c mtury, giving General James A. Garfield 2,400 majority in lßo>o over General Winfield S. Hancock. And, farther considering, that machine politics organized and perfected by and through a lpng period oi' onesided power and governed wholly by unscrupulous men. who received all its benefits, had full control in many counties; when corporate monopolists sent speakers into this district, from the home of monopolies in Connecticut and Pennsylvania, to dog my steps from place to place, to barrangue and vilify my best efforts for the people m Congress; when 1 was resisted by every corporate power becauso of my unfriendly votes; when the most unfair, unjust, not to say yenal, Republican press of all other Congress onal districts in the United States, with a few exceptions, were pouring forth vile falsehood, revolting abuse and wholesale slander-all too abominable to go into the homes of decent families; when low-bred men with no character to lose or reputation to gain spoke untruth and evil continually; when they traded, in ten precincts at least, the Republican State and National ticket tu get a low votes against me; when 156 men voted in four precincts against me, not citixens thereof and not there to day, in d ;fiance of law and right; and when the most shameful work was done by some of the government offic inis of the district—consider ing all. it is wonderful that 1 was beaten in a Presidential year by so small a majority. The laborious canvass I made went as much for the benefit of the National and State ticket as it did for my self, he Republican raajori ty of 2 400 for President in 1880 was reduo d to about 650 in 1884. lam proud of the result. 't shows my hard work did some good 11 shows that the powers of corporations and monopoly are partially broken It shows that corruption in office must cease. It shows that a low campaign system has no longer any force. It shows that the aousive and venomous newspaper has no influence with the people and that campaigns hereafter must be decent to command oopular respect. Our gain in this district on Representative in the Legislature, on the pop ular vote of over 1,700 in four years, and our success in the State and Nation will be a lasting benefiit, in. that it breaks up party superstition that there is only one party in the country abfe to manage the government; and it wiM prove forever false the shriek of the demagogue that rebel debt' will be paid, rebel sol diere pensioned, that our in dustries will be ruined, that the public credit will suffer and every other calamity fail upon the country if the Dem ocratio party should attain power. The tariff will be re formed but the industries will not be harmed. The govern ment taxes on imports will be reduced and the laboring man will be benefited.

During ih. f» w months re niahi'ng * \ ;.iy to m 1 shall have no hale to ciierish and no punishment to give anybody. My service is for the people el this district and [ will continue to faithfully represent them. I vtill continue my work to reduce govern ment taxation and to equalize the public burdens so as to make wealth bear more and labor less. 1 shall continue to be a friend of the Uuion
