" fetl 4at National Democrat. .4
Yesterday, with the National Democrat OF Saturday
last before ne, we stated that that Journal and the
hxrda" for whom it spoke, had dropped the mask and
openly placed themselves attitude of opposition to
the administration. We quoted the explicit language OF
the Democrat on which we based conclusion, and
we minated 10 that journal that the administration
would survive their opposition thus announced even
though aided by the Sewarde force OF the State, just
IL has survived and conquered the opposition Of the
wings in the southern States.
We now copy in another column an article of an ex-
pIanatoy, perhaps, should say. OF apologize

which appears TO to indicate that ,ha, journal and

All that the National Democrat ssys in appreciation OF
the Presidents principles ia very WELL and viii be ap-
proved by democrats lhroughol, the counry; because
those principles laid down in the Baltimore platform
and the Inaugural and no is democrat, recog.
Missed by the President democrat, who does not in
good faith adopt them But in The very same connex-
ion, the Democrat tells that the national democracy"
of New York tmcaning the "hards'D shave been sorey
tried' by the Presidents policy, and that "hey look 10
him YET to do them justice" Now, we insist, in
reply 10 this. tina, the Presidents policy has been
strictly in pursuance OF his declared principles and
the declared principles Of his party, and thai be
has dealt Justly by the "hards" as by other dem

has been prescribed TO him by his principles and by the
authoritative proceedings of his party The National

that none but sound national democrats who stand in
