| Another class of democrats, of the more
polite kind, propose to stand very nearly or
the Union Republican platform. TO declare
their intention of supporting the Administra-
ton, and their approval of a vigorous war pol
icy. This locks very fair upon its face; but
if these men are really honest i'll their declared
intention of supporting the present Admins
trstion, and encouraging vigorous psosecn-
ton of the war, what excuse have they for a
separate organization What more do they
propose to DO, than Republicans are pledged tc
do, and are doing? Does it not look suspi-
cious, that such democrats put on the appear
ance of support to the Administration, and en-.
ergetic war measures, simply to make politi
cal capital, to get into power? Precisely the
same policy was pursued in this State last fall
of protested regard for the Administration, and
of the Union cause. The men of this stripe
who succeeded in getting office by such Union
pretences, threw off the mask, and identified
themselves with the opponents of the Admins

DEMOCRATIC DoCTRINE.-The Chicago Times
makes an onslaught upon ga Mr.. Mat. Ii. Carr
To- &c
Mr.. Ryan's State Democratic address. The
Times condemns Mr.. Carpenter, on the ground
that being Democrat, he had no right to re-
view the Address, or object to its doctrines.-
The address having been adopted by majori-
ty of the convention, all Democrats in the State
were precluded from Directing to its principles
or teachings. The Times says it is fundamen-
tai principle Of Democracy, that the majority
shall rule. We presume that doctrine is inten-
ded for the interna! government of the Party it,
self, and is not intended to apply to the peopl
a large. When majority of people decide
that they will elect Republican President, it
is no reason why the Democratic party should
submit to that decision The Chicago Timas.
and the Milwaukee Nelcs, and all that classo
Democratic papers, declared over and over.
during the last Presidential election, that If
cause for secession, and the threat was held up
constantly, as the strongest argument why the
people should not vote for Mr.. Lincoln-tha {
if he was elected, the south would dissolve the
II bo,, l.. ~
ty might be for him. According to the pol
lticians of the Times school, the larger the
majority, the greater would be the cause o.
secession. From this,and other facts we conclude
that the Democratic doctrine that the major
ity mustrule, is only applicable to the govern
ment of the Democratic party, and not to the
government of the country.
We commend the man ner in which Mr.. Car,
penter is spoken of by the Times, to the con-
sideration of the loyal democrats Of this Stats
1t says "a Mr. Mat H. Carpenter" for
sooth the fact that Mr., Carpenter is acknowl
edged by all to be the most talented orator
in the Democratic ranks of the State, is no rea
son why he should be spoken of in terms of com
mon respect, after he has dared to write o.
speak word for the Union, and in oppo sitior
to the parizan, unpatriotc address, promulga
ted by few irresponsible partisan managers
and wire-pulers for the X. G. Cs. The diff
Guilty with Mr.. Carpenter Isl that he is too pa
triotic, too loyal tie the Uuion and the Consttu
ton to be popular in the Democratic party o
to>day. He has not sufficient sympathy AMI
admiration for the rebels and traitors now il
arms for the destruction of the Union, and the
Government. We notice that the Milwaukee
News and kindred disoyal sheets in this State
are following the lead of the Chicago Times il
abusing and traducing Mr.. Carpenter, for hi
able and timely review of Mr. Ryan's address.
