Zhe Daily Transcript, : NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. ‘TUEspax, JULY 14th, 1868. UNION _TICKET. . ¥OR PRESIDENT, ‘GENERAL ULYSSES 8, GRANT _ For Vice President, SCHUYLER COLFAX. —_—X—X_—X—K—a—X—aK_S! THe DEMOCRACY AND THE NATIONAL ““‘CrEDIT,—W hen the platform of a party _ is entirely inconsistent with its practice and the well known opinions of its leaders, there is good reason for holding the party responsible for its acts, and ignoring the declaration of principle. embodied in the platform. The usual practice of Democratic orators and papers is to denounce the enormous debt which has been made in overthrowing the rebellion, as an outrage upon the people. They hold that the. debt is wnconstitutional though they do not pay 80 in so many words. If, as they’ declare, the war was unconatitational, it follows that the debt resulting is also unlawful. If Congress is an unconsti_tutional body, as they claim, then the _ debts made by Congress are not binding. Should the Democracy ever get control of the government a basis for Tepudiation, and consequent disgrace, might easily be found in the enuncia_ tions of Democratic leaders. Pendleton: who with the Democratic masses was the choice for the Presidency, would have flooded the country with legal . . ‘tenders by issuing enough to pay off the debt. at once, and instead of paying -the debt. gradually, analmost. worth-. less currency would have flooded the country, Its true that he was beaten for the nomination on account of his financial system, but there is a large adie peat wna wate in case of Democratic victory, get “into Congress. As tothe acts of the party we have their " Record upon the Constitutional Amendment, providing that the national debt must be paid and repudiating the rebel debt. This amendment would have settled the question beyond reach of party, but in the Legislature of this State, and everywhere that the Democ“racy had the power this amendment has been defeated. The credit of the government should not be entrusted with the Democracy. Brick Pomeroy’s paper, which probably has as much in~~: fluence in the party as any party jour*" nal of the country, openly advocates repudiation of the natio: debt, and denounces every act of the government, from the call for troops to the present day, as outrages. In the face of these facta, of what force ) the weak resolution of the New York Convention, and who will have faith in it when so enentirely inconsistent with the acts of the party and the declarations of its leaders? . ; THe Grant CLuB.—A meeting of the Grant Club held at the Theatre on Saturday night, was largely attended. Some business was transacted, and after a speech by M. 8. Deal the Club adjourned to the last Saturday of the month, . The Executive Committee have taken steps to secure good speakfor that time, and every man should “S « come out. Democrats, especially, should attend these meetings, and listen to the discussion of the true principles of government. AHEAD oF THE MaIL.—We are indebted to the Pacific Union Express Co. _,Geo. W. Kidd & Co., agents, for copies of the Sacremento Union and State Capital Reporter ahead of the mail. This company is fast winning popularity. Can’t Stand Hrai.—The Herald and Times both repudiate the nomination of Seymour, and predict the defeat of the party. The Chase Club, of New York, have resolved to vote for Grant. “INSURANCE Surr— —The Builders Insurance Company, Thos. Mooney, President, has commenced suit against Geo, 'W. Mowe, Insurance Commissioner, for $100,000 damages, for alleged libel about the business of the company. _ Mowe declared that the company was as nas and _— suit. Tut No Poricy Panty.—The Sey. miour Blair Convention _deaounces with much bitterness the Congressional plan of reconstruction, but offers no other as a substitate. The only plin we have in opposition to the one proposed and . so successfully carried out by Congress, is that of Johnson. He is now with dorsement by a respectable vote in the late Convention. Unfortunately, however, Democrats cannot indorse his policy without admitting thatthe RepubJicans are right in thi: theory of the status of the rebel States. It is welt known that Mr. Johnson not only appointed Governors fer those States, but he also demanded of them that they should accept the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery: An ‘indorsethat the rebel States had forfeited their rights as States and were within the power of the general government— the identical position assumed by the Repulican party; and yet Democracy applaud Jolmson and denounce Congress. The only difference is that while the Democracy hold that the President has only the right to pre scribe laws for the South, Republi‘cans hold that Congress, being the law making power under the Constitution, is vested with authority to legislate— But while the Democtacy accept the . , policy of Johnson they refuse to accept the principles upon which his policy is based. That party has never enunciated «a code of reconstruction, and upon this point it isa “no policy” party. It denounces and opposes, but offers no. substitute. It accepts only the results of Johnson’s acts, buat refuses to accept the theory upon which those acts are based, The party having declared the war and the abolition of slavery unlawful, if it has any creed, holds that yhea. te the condition they occupied in 186i, when slavery existed, and the State constitutions and laws then existing, would be revived under Democratic rule. They hold that the war established nothing and that victory gave no jurisdiction of State institutions~or State laws. How easy would it be under such a “no policy” system to allow the rebels to build up a new rebellion ? A LETTER describing the people in the lower counties of Virginia, says as follows: “The old nabobs here are al‘ready looking seedy. The tall stove pipe hats are falling into brown, their coats are threadbare or fringed, and they drink less frequently but larger draughts. Their tobacco pouches contain the coarsest twists, or the bare stem. Still I do not think they have reached their lowest level.” INSANE.—Mrs. Nellie Black, aged 40 years, was yesterday brought. up from Grass Valley, and examined by Drs. Hunt & Cummings before Judge Niles, ‘upon the charge of insanity. She immagines some one is trying to poison her. The cause of her insanity is unknown, and she refuses to give any information in regard to herself. She is a stranger in this county. Tue temperance revival begun and still carried on at New Haven, by the Passionists Fathers, has lessened by at least, $5,000 the sum spent weekly for intoxicating drinks in that city,and has closed four groggeries. Two men in Cadiz,Ohio, have bought a whole township, 23,040 acres, in Stanton county, Nebraska, and will cultivate it as a farm. Their residence will be put in the centre, with streets laid out and an avenue around the whole. estate, lined with orange hedge. “This,” says a correspondent, “is only a sample of our Nebraska tarming.” Gen. GRANT was born in April, 1822, Schuyler Colfax in March, 1823. There is, consequently, less than a year’s difference in their-ages. collar trade in North Bridgewater,Mass. . order has carried the price down to one cent a box. Por Conx.—Geo. A. ae pes returns one of the largest incomes in Massachusetts, outside of Boston, ‘made his fortune out of pop corn. the Democtacy and received their in-. ment of these acts isan acknowledgment Mr Brown AN exciting competition in the paper . 4 ‘Tue Pacific Mail Steamship Company have decided to move their works from.
