Democrats, who recently attempted to. steal the Government of the State. ‘hey aro attempting to make a fusion in somo other Northern States. In tha South, however, thoy don’t fuse well, or rather they don't fuse at all, but openly and brazenly cheat. And ag in Maine, so in Alas bamn, where Weaver now Js, and In every other Southern State, they swindle Repub- licans, Tho “Fool's Errand” has taken him to Montgomery, and ina speech deliyored there ‘we have the following naivo confession : T Gnd it conceded everywhere in your Sinte that the Independent tleket will be ctected In August If tho people hare a fair count. This and all other counties in the black belt aro overwhelmingly ayuinst, tho Democeatig party by more than three to ono; yot Lam told on all aidos by most respeatnble persons that you nni- formly count out by fraud the mon who are hon eatly Chosen, and install In ofilea the candidates who nro confessedly defented. This 1s tho ond of afl free government. Fuston In o State where they won't count tho votes is of little consequence. Gen. Weaver of course wants the votes counted, and fy surpriséd to find that they don’t count anything but Democratic votes in tht sec- tlon, and he fs correspondingly dispirited. Yils appeal to have the votes counted is laughed at. He finds that thore Is no such thing In the South ag the rule of the majority or the rights of the majority, because the majority cannot have thelr votes counted. Itts the rule of tho old pro-slavery arlstoc- racy, with all its barbarity and its Insolence and Its contempt of popular rights. No matter how many votes may be east for Weaver In the South, there will not bo enough of them counted to finpair its solidity.’ A few scattering votes here and (hers may be counted when they do not affect the Bourton votes. And this fs what he has now for the first thine discovered, He finds he has gone upon a fool's errand, ‘The South Ss -perfeetly willing he should make speeehes, conduct campaigns, and or- ganize his fanatics, but their yotes must not be counted, « Ln view of the situation, lils ap- peal, © Come with us, sud: we pledge to you over the grave of buried sectional animosi- ties n free ballot, a fair count, and equal rights for all before tho law,” Js shuply Judi- crous. Wenver apparently does not yet fully comprehend that the moment a free blot anda fair count ard allowed In the South, that moment the Democratic party would be wiped out and buried under an overwhelm lng majority, and the Solid South would be no longer known, At is none of our business what Weaver may be doing in the South, but nevertheless he ts ona fool’s errand, and inight 18 well return, Canvassing In that section 3 a waste of time, because even if he ean make con- verts to his absurd notions thetr votes never Will be heard from. Ie had better contine hig imissionary work to the North, where what few votes he may get will at least be counted, His experience In the South may be novel to him, but it is only one more of the many proofs of what Republicans-iave awlleged—namely: that the Southern Bour- bon Is the enemy of the honest ballot, and that free government isn faree in that sec tion; thut the old pro-slavery despotisin still runs things there to sult itself and cracks its Insh as of old; and that radical reforms are necessary {nthe South befure there can bo amicable relations with the North, But, so far as Gen, Weaver !s concerned, he 1s on a fool's errand, and mlght a3 well come hone, Ils votes would never be counted If hoe had 50,000 innfority In every Southern State, HANCOCK'S LETTER TO GLOVER. *The letter which Gen, Hnaneock wrote from Newport, R, £, Aug. 17, 1868, to Mr. 5, "I, Glover, of St. Louis, reveuts the true dn? Wardness of tho man better, perhaps, than anything else to which fs name fs attached, Gen, Hancock, In this letter to Mr. Glover, gave In his full nequieseence to the work that had just been accomplished by the Now York Democratle Convention, which {ncluded the platform and the nounations, and then pro- ceeded to says { Tnovor aspired to tho Presidency on necount of myself, “Lnever sought its duubtral honors and certiin labors and responvibillties meruty fur the position, ay aw is widh wns to promot iff could; thy ool of the country, und to rebuke the epirit’ of revolution (referring to the vonstitus Clonal amendments) which bud invaded every mitered tnet of Tbe: Yuen, therotord, you pro ual the statonients Inquestion fulye You did exactly right.

Novert Never! Nevert It fs f{mportant to recall Just what tho Dumoerntie “ principles”? were at that tine, whieh Gen. Hancock so explicitly approved, They muy be fairly gleaned from the Demo- crativ. platform of 1863, to which speeliie ref erence was made. ‘The most conspleuons features’ of that platform wore the fullow- gs 1, The ‘proposed nullification of tho con- stitutional amendments, ‘This purpose was clearly sot forth in the platform by the deniand for “the regulation of the elective franchise In the States by thelr citizens.” ‘The Fourteenth Ament- ment, defining National citizenship and for- bidding the Stites ‘to make or enforce any law abridging the privileges of citl- zona, had just been ratified, and tie Fifteenth Amendment, providing that the “right of United States citizens to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of tuce, color, or previous condition of seryl- tude, was then under discussion, and wis submitted for ratificution at tho next session of Congress, ‘The Democratic party took tho opportunity to put iself on record aginst these mmendiments by declariay that “the privilege and trust of sufrage belong to tho several States,” and that “any at- tempt by Congress, on uny pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or Inter fer with Ia oxerclse, Is a flagrant usurp thon of power,” And more to the same ef- fect, “Negro supremucy” was 9 favorit term tn this platform, and it was repeatedly denounced, One of. tho resolutions pro- nounced tho Reconstruction acts, which were passed to carry out the constitutional amend> jnents, “as usurpations, aud unconstitution: awl, evolutionary, and vold.” All this, we Jearn trom his own letter, was approved by Gen, Hancock, 4 2 Repudlation was a feature of the Demo- crativ platform of 1803 scarcely less striking than tho proposed nuliliication of the con- atitutional amendments. Tho payment of Government bonds in irredvemable greenbacks had been previous- ly udyocated by Pendleton, of Ohio, who Was Huncuck’s most: formidable rlyal for ntial nomination dn 4863 until set astde and Seymour was taken oneonsent. ‘This scheme found <favor umoeng the Detmoerats, and was Ineor- porated In the platform tn the following: terms: “Whero the obligations of the Gov- ernment do not expressly state upon thotr face or tho Iaw under which they were issued does not provity tint they shall be pad in coln, they aught in right and fustica to be paid tn the lawful monoy of thu United States.” "That Is to say, ft was the Demgeratic pur- ‘pose to enticel the interest-hearing evidences of Government debt by issuing other evi- denees of debt benring no Intoreat; tho ult! mate result contemplated was the gradual but rapid extinguishment of tho entire dobt by the depreciation of the irredeemablo notes down to 28. In order to hurry forward this process of extinguishment the Democratle vlatform further proposed to tax “Govern. ment bonds and other public securities. ‘Tho scheme was plainly one for wholesale repudiation, and it hag since been fully recognized ns such by the Democrats, and Is condemned by the Democratic platform of this year; butit was unreservedly approved by Gen. Hancock, who then sought to be and now Is tho Democratic candidate for Presl- dent. 3 ‘Theso were the chief “principles” which Gen, Uaneock indignantly declared hoe would “never—never—never”! casa to revere. ‘These were tho |“ principles” which were “to save tho country though ME"! WNulliflention and re- . pudiation were Hancock's avowed rules of public polity, not sinply beeauso he wanted to be President, but after anothor hind been nominated for that qfice, Ie was in favor of striking out the logical and legitimate re- sults o£the War,—the only results which could have justified so long and bicady acon. Metj—and In. favor of repudiating the debt which hn accumulated by reason of ‘the War, and thus Imposing tho cost thereof upon those who had prtriotically adyaneed the nioney to secure the proseention of the War to the end, And 116 was the man of all otherg, In his own estimation, who should have been charged with “saving the coun- try” by these methods! Is there nota sug- gestion In all this of the empty vantty and wretched selfishness of tho “Little Napo- Jeon,” which shoitld serve ag a warning to the American people against the dangers of inilituryism as embodied In the person of the Democratic enndidate? DOUGLAS ON ENGLISH. When Willlam IL English, now Demo- eratio candidate for Viee-President, was in Congress fn 1858, he professed to be a fol- lower of Stephen A, Douglas. It was owing to this professton that ho was appointed on a conference conunittes to represent the anti Lecompton Democrats in the effort to adjust the conflict over slavery in Kansas, which was then applyiny for admission asa State, Oncenmember of that Commitree, hu betrayed the Douglas Democrats, aud constructetl DIN, now known tn polttival history as “the | Infamous Knglish bill,” in. which a bribe was held ont to (ie people of Kansas to como into ths Union under the Lecompton pro- slavery Constitution, and an finplicd threat inude that Kansas would not bo admitted upon any. other terms, This biH was des nounced by “poputar-sovereignty Demo- erats in both the Senate and the House as a betraynl of thelr confidenee, and on a later occasion Stephen A, Douglas himself thus chiiracterized the measures - Tho Bngltsh bill, Davvided ithat an election shoutd be held in Kandas for or ngalnst the ues veptance of -certuin Jand grants which wero amute In the Bilt for tho purposes uf edueation and intern! improver and If at sueh elee- tlon a majority of tho vales-cust shouht be tn favor of tho aceeptance of guid land grants, such vote should be duomed n. rutfileation of the Le- compton Constitution, aud evidence of a desire to come fito the Union ander it; but if namajore ity of the votes should be eust ygninat the int rants the people of Kaudag should remain i090 ferritorial condition unui dt should contain $20 Inhubltanta, ‘Thy poople rejected tho land grunts by 0 uuujority of elyht'to one, and conse quently ‘rejected the Lecompton Constitution, and tetas tt dfed. . ‘The Engtish bill subinitted the question to tha peaple of Kunsus In an indireetand unfalr mane her, but still insueh a munner a8 enubled the .people to reject It, by voting ngalnst the tnnd grants which they ardently desired, und whieh were a bribe to have thom vote for it, wecomn- panied with a punmity, 1f they ald not, of being obliged to remain out of the Union, Tore wi abribe and athreat. Tho relection of the Bn- milsh bill by the people of Kungus rendered the defeutof the Adinintatration complete ‘in ull reapeets, and was equivalunt to an uncondl. “tonul rejection of tho Lecompton Constitution. I supported tho Crittenden-Montgomery nmondineat (which referred the Lecompton Con= stitution to the people of Kunsusg to rntify or to rejevt), but opposed violently die English bal, ‘This {s strong Innguage, and sufficiently indicates what Senator Douglas thonght of tne tufainous English bill? and its author, No former supporter and no adimirer of Ste- phert A. Douglos ean rend the above extract without holding Witla LL English inspectal contempt. In this ease, 1t was not merely be causo English had identified himself with tho Buchanan, pro-slivery Democrats, but because he hod pretended to be a friend of Dougins aud an advocate of the principles which Dough represented, and thon be- trayed both Douglas and his principles, Had not English professed sympathy with the Douglas wing of the Demoeratio party ho would not have been appointed a member of the Conference Committea and would never have had an opportunity ,to report the tnfa- mous measure with which hls nume is asso- elated.
