lepubWan friends that Democratie speakers do not spend all their breath in denouncing Jeff. Davis and his rebel colleagues ; but that, instead, they bcstow their censure upon Abraham Lincoln at.d his administration. This bugear will frighten no reasonable man. Deinocrats have had no sympathy with aecession, and they have no sympathy with the rebellion. Democrats have sent heir sons, and paid freely of their money, to aid the Government in its struggle against the rebels, and having done so it s wholly unnecessary for them to spend heir time and strengthin protesting their oyalty. Democrats have alvrays acknowledged their fealty to tho Constituion, they have never been accustomed o make " mental reservations " whon wearing to support it, and it is wholly unnecessary to speud time and strength at this juncture in fulminations against he rebels, fulrninationa which would be ike Lincoln's own estímate of his prolamation, a " Pope's Buil against the cornet." Lincoln and his Administraron are now ou trial before the grand inuest of the country ; it is the time set apart by the Oonstitution for bringing lira to and the Democracy are ow dealiiig with his policy, his ineasures, lis abuse of power, his usurpations, his iolation of the solemn guarantees of the Constitution. When the jury shall have endcred a verdict in favor of the people, nd against Mr. Lincoln, then will the )cnrocracy áo what Mr. Lincoln has ot been able to do, put down the rebellion nd restore the Union. Now, we have not nly to obey the laws, but a still higher uty to perform, to change', in a lawful madiiier,, the law makers. That is the work the Democracy has in hand at this ime. y3T Returned officers aud soldiers ay that the grcatest eífort has been nado to keep President Lincoln's "To Vliom it may Couceru" letter out of ie hands of tbo soldiers. It is deounced as a 'copperhead lie," and the oldiers are told thut Mr. Lincoln does it insist upon the abandoamont of avery as the conditiun of a peace tliey o mudi deaire. In euch coursu worthv great party ?
