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.”

Schuyler Colfax in March, 1823. There
is, consequently, less than a year’s difference in their-ages.
