late solemn endorsement in caucus, and in both
Houses of Congress, in the face OF the world,
Of the foul calumnies and iGud Billlngsgste OF
that journal speak our reply.
Nor is this all. Under The influence oil the
evil genius which presided over their council
fires in 1910, the veteran chieitains OF MIR. Van
Buren's forces appear 10 be able, only, to pie
bunder upon blunder, aud multiply the embar-
easements of their position. Thus, IN every quar-
ter, il is openly proclaimed that the mohre oil
Mr. Van Buren's nomination is TO vindicate the
old party X nights--to wipe out the stain placed
upon their escucheons by the rout Of 1S40-and
to secure national confession OF their great
virtues, consummate prowess, and unequaled
patriotism We thus find ii broadly stated by
Mr. Richie few days ago:
Should il be the will of the Republican party,
speaking through their delegates at Baltimore, that
Mr. Van Buren, should be their candidate 10 redress
the ,rrongs phich all suffered in his person iron" INC
ouf,ages Of the Whigs IN 1910, the Madlsonan may
rest assured that the Republicans of every clique and
classifc. ton will go for him, with very few exceP-
tions.n
Now, did il ever occur TO our venerable Trend
at Richmond, that it would be asking quite
enough Of those who, in 1870 opposed Mr.. Van
Buren, to vote for him in IA, without admonish-
ing them that by so doing they would admit they
had been guilty of" outrages" which demanded
expiation by penance in sackcloh and ashes
Had he reflected moment, would he not have
perceived that he was presenting the precise issue
which would inevitably result in yet more sig
nal defeat to Mr.. Van Buren, than that Of 1910
Aside from all considerations Of consistency, OF
principle, of the sincerity with which they re-
counted Mr. Van Buren's sins and errors, or the
expediency of the measures Of the late Admin
istration, on such an issue as Mr.. Richie pre-
sents, every man in the length and breadth of
the Union, who aided in expeng the late AID
ministralion from power will contribute to pre-
vent its restoration.
Still another and yet more serious view OF
this question arises, and for it we bespeak the
deliberate judgment of every Republican into
whose hands our paper may fall. Ii is the So
Der announcement TO the world that the princi-
Piles of the Democratic party are held BY those
who control the movement in behalf Of Mr.. Van
Buren, to be OF so little value that they may be
perlled-nay, practically excluded from all
agency in the Government for the next four
years--in hopeless effort to reinsIate in power
a condemned and repudated junto of caucus
managers Democrats are such men worthy
TO be entrusted with the protection of what
they so lightly value ? Is the destiny Of the Re-
publican cause safe in such hands?
We have not yet done with this subject.
