' They are not to be'eoaciliated bT the Whips. T Engrossed with a single idea, they, care for ooiuing ease. " And yet they would see the Administration o' lhe: Oprernment. precipitate the nation into'absolute ruin before they would lend a helping" hand to arrest its career." They treat worse, denounce most, those who. treat -them - v- best, who so far agree with them as to admit i - slaTery to be an evil.

' If our voice could be heard by all the Dem ocrats. of Ohio, and if the Despotism which Is above and around us, should permit .the ut terance of but one word,3 we should say j Oa This is a duty Which the party owe to them selves and their children. It cannot be safely deferred a week, j Every moment is precious. A little delay, and it way be too late.1 Even to-morrow, a ukase, "bearing -the seal of the Secretary of State, may prohibit, under penal ty of death or imprisonment, the assemblage Of a Democratic meeting. That functionary has already done things quite as startling,' and not less arbitrary. , Then why not do this ? The press, while in the eTercise of its Con stitutional freedom, . has been - crushed under an iron heel; the citizen has been seized' and dragged to prieon, because he exercised the Constitutional right.of Free Speech ; and the Writ of Habeas Corpus, the ennobling and dis tinguishing heritage of the Anglo-Saxon race: the most precious and inestimable of all the guaranties of the Constitution: has been blotted from every page whereon it was written. . There is but one hope for the restoration of Constitutional freedom, and that is id, the restoration of Democratic rule. But the authorities need only take one more -step a very easy and natural one in the direction they have started to extinguish even, this hope forever.. Whenever it can be taken with entire saflty, we are very sure that it will be adopt ed. That step is to put Democratic organiza tion under ban ; to proclaim Democracy as treasonable per se ; and to punish with penal ties all sufficient for the purpose in view ry manifestation of JJemocratic sentiment, wherever it presumes to evince itself. .This is the intent of the party in power. They don't intend that there shall be any more Democratic victories : and they design to adopt the only certain means of prevention, viz; The extirpa tion, by a despotic use of ill-gained power, of the Democracy, as a political organization. . Why was it, during the last summer, that the Democracy, whose history during three-fourths of a century, was a history of devotion to the Constitution ; who were even then rush-ing en masse "for the 'preservationT of a Union which the Republicans - had been mainly instrumental in placing in imminent and deadly peril ; why was it that ev.en then, in the 'presence of such a history, and of so much existing patriotism, they were stigmatized uas' traitors, and their lives . and - property threatened by mobs gathered from the dregs and ofiscour-ing of the nxajoritv ?: And now why is it that the atrocious lie is'published farand wide that calumny for which there is neither shadow nor semblance of .foundation viz:, .That there is a treasonable organization called - the Knights of the Golden Circle, widely diflfased I among the Ulemocratic masses - the 'North cm States, the object of which is' to rive "'aid and comfort' to the traitorous Confederates of j the South T :. . . . -...V, , .. These . crimes' and enluronies against the Democratic party can be explained only upon the hypothesis , we ' have suggested viz : . The purpose by -force ' of arbitrary and despotio power, to trample the Democracy . out of existence. : . . V. .... ' - . . . . . s Shall this be permitted f Let the Democracy be assured that this question is upon them. For one, we say, NO. We would rather surrender this fair State, with all. the trophies which it has won during an unequalled pr gress of sixty years, to desert barrenness and desolation.' '; -. . . ' ..' , ' . .... The party now ruling in the Federal: and State Governments have a right to demand of all the people alike, obedience to the Constitution and laws, and they have no right to ask anything more. But with a view to much more, they draw lines of demarcation between classes of the people ; they depute and - en courage emissaries of the one class to proclaim and advocate treason in church and lecture-room while they Tteej in pay a scoundrelly press to calumniate a silent and powerless minority of the other class, whose only crime is that they did not vote to put - Republican "rulers in power, and are awaiting to vote them out of power, whenever the opportunity is afforded, in conformity with the Constitution and Laws. .Thus are the authorities preparing the public mind for the total subversion of the Constitution, and with it of all right of opposition to the misrule and tyranny of Republicanism. - . ..-V r , : . Let the organization be made upon the old and time-honored basis of fealty to the Constitution. -. Patriotism requires this; And Power must not be permitted to exact more. In this we will have discharged our whole duties as citizens. Let those who may demand of us the homage of subjects, compel us to yield it if they can. . , .We are at least two hundred thousand strong in Ohio.
