Welcomes the Star of the
West,

The Boston Courier-the old Whig organ
OF Daniel Webster, and which has remain ed
true TO the conservative faith so lorg defended
by its former great leader-after copying a
ubilant aticls from Western Democratic
paper, announcing Democratic victories, com.
ments as follows:
"These are indeed cheering words--!or we
take them only to mean that the people OF
the West will not allow the institutions OF
the country to be perverted and overthrown
for party ends, or to crafty the foul desires OF
fanatcism. They have the power to save US,
and now they show the will; and only by
political changes can the good work be ac-
, complIshed. Our own preferences would
lead us to wish for this salvation by COM
bination OF conservative men of all former
political organizations, though we are sorry
to say we see slight evidence Of any disposi-
tion, on the part Of the Republicans, to aban.
don their party disposition. 1t requires nc
abandonment Of political principle whatever
for those who have hitherto been opposed Ia
sectional politics, for the cause OF the Union
and the Constitution.
TO sll this the Republican leaders and the
Republican presses are opposed. They some.
times threaten and sometimes imploie, thai
all party issues may be laid aside They
declare it is actual treason to think Of setting
up an organization against themselves whom
they see fit to call the government---but
none OF this cant will go down. The peo
pie Of the West see to what belief in it hal
led thecountry and that further belief in i
must inevitably and utterly destroy the coun
try, and they will submit to it no longer. =
The politicians who have SO grossly deceived
them can cheat them no longer. The peopl
see their short sightedDess, their falsity, thei
recklessness OF consequences to the nation
for the sake Of their own petty ends. AND
the time Of these men is coming. They SCI
the Land writing on the wall, and they trem
bic. They wcull plunge the country int,
woes and horrors unutterable, beyond tn
present, to maintain party ascendency. 1hi
is the scource and meaning of their outer,
against other parties, while they cling witt
the grasp Of death to their own. But th
people will be victorious over them. Wei

was met by prompt and indignant de-
NAL.
But when the Democrats asked for
the privilege of letting these soldiers
vote-that because they went forth to
fight the battles Of their country it
should not be cause Of disfranchise>
ment-the Republicans were inexora-
bic. They would not trust volunteer
soldier to vote; it would corrupt the
ballot-box; it would demoralize the
army; it would be very bad in every
way!
Let these abolition Republicans say
no more about being friends of the
soldier. They DARED not let vote
be taken, as it would have tested the

call to public attention, pledges made
to the people, by "the delegated rep

of the United States, in Convention
assembled" at the commencement of
the Presidential campaign in 1867
The sixth resolution of the platform
adopted by the Convention which NOM
mated Lincoln, is in these words:

systematic plunder Of the treasury by favor
ed partiSans, while the recent startling de.
velopment of frauds and corFuptions at the
Federal Metropolis, show that 40 entire
change of administration is imperatively dc.
manded.
The Administration elected on this
platform, has been in power about one
year. How it has fulfilled its pledges
during that year, is now a matter Of
history. Instead of remedying the
evil complained of in the resolution, it
has made it thousand times worse.--
The "reckless extravaganza" of former
Administrations, says the Empire, was

So giaring, so corrupt, so outrageous
has been the conduct of those in power
in systematically plundering the pub

men and presses which placed it il

members of Congress-men who labor
ed for the election of Lincoln-openl,
denounce the corruptnese of Republi

tho House and of the Senate. Mr.
Dawes, Republican member fron
Massachusetts,, admitted in Congress
but few days since, that as much ha
been stolen from the Treasury in tn
