There Is a great difference between tle

to get elice las, year and tie resolutions
Of The Democracy which hopes to get Of
fee tbs year. Taen lhe people we're call

O. failure 10 restore the Onion; now the
people arc congratulated upon The success
Of the war which has preserved uhdisid-
Cd the Union Of the States. Then die
\ soldiers were promised care, protection

10 obtain their votes, they are now given

Of republican governments Il was then
energetically declared that under preiehse
| Of military necessity public liberty and
4 private right had been alike trodden
! down; now the " cordial aud energetic
support OF the New York DEMOCRACY is
pledged 10 President Johnson, who was
then the mostnoted Of the military satraps
OF the tyrant Lincoln. Inone sense the De-
mocacy have certainly profied by defeat,
They nowTuow enough 70 keep their pc
culiar sentiments to themselves until
after election.
But although all the resolutions Of tie
Convention are carefully expressed, and
most Of then unexceptioaabie IN term the
very first one destroys what virtue there

is nothing but a sham. The resolution
referred 10 declares that the past history
Of tie Democracy forms the prond'st rec
ords Of the country.
AID What is The past history Of The
Democratic party For years before Che
outbreak Of the rebellion, all the energies
Of Tie Democratic party were d voted 10
preparation for secession The power Of
the South was increased the North vas
bound hand and foot the faith Of the
patty was pledged to the cause; the doc
trne was advocated with all the auth oliiy
Of The Democratic name. For the past
-four years tic h story Of Democracy has
been the history Of open rebellion al The
South aud secret conspiracy at the North
Thrte-iourths Of The men Of the ranksand
more than ee-lourths Of The leaders Of
the laty have been in aims against the
/ Government. OF the remaining fourth,
one half have conspired 10 aid the rebtl-.
lion with physical support, and large
part Of the remainder have Strengthened
the cause OF the rebellion by weakening
! the government which opposed 1t. This
is the history of the Democratic party
which the members Of that Convention
helped TO make, and this IS the history
which they gloriiy IS forming the proud
est records Of the country.
The sane resolution declares that The
Democracy will meet the great questions
or lie future with the patriotism and f.
ldeity which have always characterized i.
The country has not forgotten, and isnot
likely to forget until the sears q war are
healed, in what this Democratic fidelity
consisted. 1t consisted in fidelity TO the
State and treason to the nation. II con-
sisted in devotion TO the ends Of party
without regard to the interests Of the
country. It led the great chiefs OF the
organization 70 violate heir oaths, iobteal

plDnge the country into civil war. It jus.
