DEATH OLE THOMAs RITcHIE, JR


1t is with deep regret that we announce the
death Of Thomas Ritchie, jr., one of the editors
of the Richmond Enquirer. For several years
he has been in feeble health, and for many
months his friends have been convinced that
he could not long survive. The hereditary
malady which afflicted him, steadily progressed
until his long-continued sufferings were termi-
mated by death yesterday morning, about eight
o'clock.
Thomas Ritchie, jr., was the son of Thomas
Ritchie, esq, who is known to the whole coun-
try. He was about thirty-three years of age at
the time of his untimely death, and was re-
spected by all who knew him for his solid
merits, and by those who knew him well, for
his kind, genial, and generous nature We
knew him well--intimately well. We have seen
him under all circumstances the day Of ad-
versty and the time of prosperity. In sorrow
and in Joy we have been with him, and we have
always seen him the constant, true, faithful,
noble-hearted man. A wide circle of friends
will receive the announcement of his death
with sadness and sorrow; but it must fall with
heavier force on those who were nearer and
dearer to him. May they find consolation for
their loss in the sympathies of those who grieve
with them in their sad bereavement.

WHAT WAS THE ISSUE BETWEEN
THE HARDS AND THE SOFTS.

The main issue between those two divisions
of the democratic party Of New York, known
by the respective names Of hards and softs, we
always understood to be this: The hards claim
to be national democrats; that is, they repu-
diate all sectional platforms, principles, and
ideas. They claim to stand on the Constitu-
ton and to be willing to respect the rights of
each State and of all sections. They assever-
ated and promulgated to the country that the
softs planted themselves on sectional basis;
that they united with feesoilers, and that they
are unwilling to do justice to the south and the
hards and freesolers separated, because the
former we're opposed to applying the Wilmot
proviso, or in other words were against the ex-
clusion by congressional action ofsavery from
Territories, whilst the feesoilers were advocates
for such Congressional action. The hards were
for non-intervention, the doctrine of the Ne
braska bill and the freesoilers for intervention.
{ On these grounds, selected by themselves,
the hards appealed to the whole south, against
the Van Buren men and disaffected democrats,
who formed an alliance known as "the sohs,"
and the sympathy of southern men flowed out to
them in generous streams. All the affection, all
the sympathy, and all the assistance that we
could give to them were promptly and cordially
rendered. Remembering the pledges and pro-
fessions Of the hards, we confidently predicted
that when the trial came, they would, to man,
be found true, firm, and unfinching.
The trial has come. The Nebraska bill is
that trial. 1t embodies the precise doctrine
the constitutional doctrine--for which we un.
derstood them to contend, and that is opposi-
ton to the Wilmot proviso in every shape and
form, whilst it sustains the equality Of States
and the practical execution Of the principle Of
non-intervention.
We are grati6ed to be able to say that SO far
as the great body of the national democrats are
concerned, they have met the Issue and nobly
redeemed their pledges They are for the Ne
braska bill
How is it with their Representatives in Con-
gress? We had INDUCED the hope that when
the pinch came, they would all be united in its
favor, that there would not be one dissenting
voice. True, we expected that they would
make it the occasion of uttering some re-
proaches against the administration, as we'll as
against such southern people as had withheld
their sympathy from them. But as to any of
them opposing the bill, and opposing it on its
merits, we did not dream Of it. We did not
conceive such thing possible.
4 Some of them, for instance the Hon. Mike
Walsh, have declared in favor Of the bill,
warmly and eloquentIy in favor Of it. Others
have not yet distinctly and publicly indicated
their course, though we cannot doubt or dis
trust them and will be compelled to believe
them friends Of the bill, until the unwslcoma
Washington sentinel., 1854-05-23

tidings shall reach US that they have gone
against it.
But others, Messrs Peckham and Wheeler,
have declared to Congress and to the whole
country, in wellconsidered speeches, that they
will vote against it. They put off their decla.
rations till the last moment, but at that moment
they made them.
While they expressed their opposition to the
administration, and while they complained of
the south, they yet did not rest their hostility
to the Nebraska measure on those grounds.
They declared themselves opposed to it on its
merits.
In kindness, but in sorrow, we would ask
these gentleman, and such others, if any there
be, as intend to act with them: Was this what
you meditated doing when you invited the aid
and cooperation of southern democrats and
of the constitutional democrats Of the free
States? Were all your denunciations of the
softs, as freesoilers, and all your appeals to the
democracy of the country, but SO many wag
gish devices to humbug and bomboozle them
We're you but joking when you declared that
you differed altogether from the softs, and
could not and would not agree with them
Why, if you intended to act with the much
denounced softs on the very first occasion that
presented itself, what was the use of quarrel
ing with them at all ? All your denunciations,
all your anger, have been spent in vain. Your
battles have been useless your victories bar
rem. You fought for the principle of non-in-
terysntion, and now you meet and shake hands
with your enemies over the principle of inter
vention. You were wont to praise such men
as Dickinson, Bronson, and O'Conor. They
are in favor of the bill, while you oppose it.
You were wont to claim fellowship with such
men as Atchison, Bright, Douglas, Weller,
Hunter, Mason, and others who lead the long
columns Of democracy to battle; but now you
separate yourselves from them. You were
wont to declare, and to cite long records to
prove that you were truer to the Constitution
than the softs, and now avail yourselves Of the
first opportunity that is offered you to stand
side by side with them.
Ex-President Van Buren, whom you were
accustomed to denounce, but whom we doubt
not is like you, opposed to the Nebraska bill,
spoke on a memorable occasion Of what he
called "the sober second thought ofthe people,
He thought there was efficiency and virtue in
it. As you agree with him in regard to the Ne
braska bill, it is likely that you agree with him
in that also, and we very respectfully recommend
to you that sober second thought before you
cut yourselves off from the leaders of the ma
tional democracy from the masses Of the ma
national democracy, and from the true constitu-
tional democracy of the whole country.
