1540 - L July 15; ed:2/1 - The Democratic party at the present time is liken-
ed unto a character that John Milton wrote about, who preferred darkness to
light. Democrats are ready to pledge themselves that the Rebellion does
not interfere with slavery which has been a bone of contention in this
country for 80 years, and a ruling power of the Rebellion.
"By yielding to Davis and Lee they confess to the world that the idea
of popular self-government is a delusion and splendid farce." (8)
