The Now York Herald on Platforms.

In another article in this dag ,sue,"e have ca
deavored 10 chow up the incons,.tency III th"
New York Herald; it's insincr,ity ami uur ciahl
ity as an exponent OF the polite, oi the country.
IL We are act mistaken, ii In, on several ucca-
sons, referred to the general aad indefinite cI,r
acter OF tho Platform offered 10y the party whlc,
nominated Bell and Everett. We will see now
,cn. Says tha Herald: The Democratic pas,
has been rent III twain by causes hirh are Of ~
significance in Ills connection. Whether tho o,c
platform or me other is the proper one fJr the dc
mocracy to stand upon, matters very little. Tte
difference 10 1nly an abstract one, aud platforms
pie understand and NJ one cares snap oil his
finger about"
Now mark the position of the Herald. 1t uro.
fesses to support Breckenridge in prelcre"ee to
Douglas or to Bell and Everett But why -
What is the difference between tho two Demoera-
tic candidates? Both Of these held the SHINE
views upon general politics. and Brcckinridsc
was an earnest disciple Of Douglas, maintainin, :.
the views of the latter even upon the Squa,ter
Sovereignty question. Platforms, and nothing
| else, constitute the difference between pou. la-
aud Breckenridge; tho one planting himself OF
the Cincinnati Platforms the other upon the
] same Platform as correbtcd, amended, and contra
diced by the incorporation Of a new plank.
And yet, US between Douglas and Breckenridge

assertions 10 be received De proof in any thing
It's drift 10 evidently % persuade its Northern
readers thai the Secession candidate 10 the stron-
get. With view of concentrating The Northern
conservative vsse on Brtckinridge aud Lane and
yes in the same breath. il assert. that .ths over
Swallowing idea in the North is hostility to .lave-
~" that the Republican party ''can only be de-
feated BY the cooperation OF conservatives IN
Pennsylvania and other central States" To Fl.
feet this victory Of conservatism over sectionasm
the Herald invites conservatives in the North Ia
join "the Breckenridge monopoly" Is this the
way to achieve n conservative victory? Can con.
serva,ivc Northern men be transferred like
many sheen In tho shambles. to the support OF
Southern sectional ticket that has not the conf
dence and support of even the South itself? Is
this the way to break the power Of that alarm.
ing sectional party which has grown up in tho
North Will consolidated South. united upon
u single issue, not tend rather 10 consolidate than
divide the North, upon aqucstion, the abstract
merits Of which hns always been viewed in dif
ferent light by the relative sections! 1t seems to
us that the more sensible way TO unite the whola
conservative Northern vote aganst the Black
Republicans would DO to accept the conservative
candidates, Bell and Everett. rather than the
tional candidates. Breckinridge and Lane. The
Herald knows very well that Northern consera-
tive, could make no rally on the Secession ticket;
that IL is idle and than idle to think VI such
an arrangement, that Douglas will get three-fourlhs
uf the Northern Democratic vote, and that Breck,n
ridge will be-nowherc. We cannot reconcile
this new move Of the Herald with its usual lore
cast, and must attribute it 10 nm undue influence
excr,cd by the Administration, or desire to play
into tho hands of the party with which it wa-
identified four years ago. Nothing would please
Greeley and bis horde better, for.t is well known
that he has been seeking to create diversion in
favor Of Breckenridge. that the effect might be 10
strengthen the Black Republican cause in the
North. We should not DO surprised, however. 10
fad that Bennett is playing the cat in the meal
tnb, with the Northern conservatives, and th.ua
thu, he will bear watching.
The Herald is consistent only in its Inconsistency,
and its suggestions in politics are entitled to Ia
We ght whatever.
