The CINCINNATI COmmerctuI-
Again.
The lOincinndi Commercial isn't posted
about LONG and CoRRY, even tho 1t does
champion their, cause, 1t is their, organ,
but does sInot understand their political sta
t,s. 1T says THE SrATEsMAN .'may lash
and abuse LoSG and CoRRY, and the faith.
full few who sturdily maintain the faith de-
livered 10 the fathers; but it will find them
neither contemptible In numbers nor influ-
ence on the oath of August" The CONNER
cial ought to know, that the little knot Of
notoriety-seekers about which it Is SO much
concerned, formally withdrew from the
Democratic party, on the 23d of June, Just
before the adjournment of the Democratic
Convocation which was held in this city
and that they do not intend to 60 into the
Democratic State Convention at all-but
expect to hold a little g love ieast" Of their
own, prior to the Oath of August. quiar
The Commercial says, In the same article,
that sTHE ONO STATESMAN is mistaken If
It supposes It will be able to carry over the
Democracy Of the State to its shoddy plat
form Of principles We can assure The
Commercial In advance, that the Convention
will adopt Platform Of Principles that
THE STATESMAN will be able to stand on
and fight for.a The Abolition Convention
having adopted Shoddy Platform-in ac-
cordance with The Commercials suggestions
it would be simply. a farce for another
Convention to re-enact the same folly. The
Democratic party being the, party of Prln-
ciples, has never been in danger OF going
far out Of the right way. 'a =. H'rH-'a
General Hardie Assumes all the
oyE 100 9F~Pressure." ' lA
"The Immortal j., N. FREE" Is in the
habit of saying that he assumes AL the
pressure; and he frequently incareerates
himself In darkest dungeons to relieve his
friends from the pressure he imagines is
upon,them. The mortal column of twaddle
that the telegraph brought us last Thursday
night from General HARDIE, of the War
Department. which we printed on Friday
morning, very forcibly reminded us of ~.
N" He tries hard to take the pressure off
from EDWIN M, STANTON, his royal master,
who is getting quite restiye and uncom-
Portable under the comments of the press on
his refusal to grant pass to Catholic
Clergyman to visit Mrs. SuRRATT in prison
after she was sentenced obe executed; and
then he admits all, and essays to defend
himself! His card amounts to virtual ad-
mission, that the charges contained in the
special to The Ne,o York Tribune, which we
printed on the 10th, are true; but he claims
that STANTON is innocent-himself being
responsible for what transpired as to the
pass. WhoeNeris disposed to believe this
part Of HARDIE's story, is at liberty to do
so; we choose to disbelieve it. The idea
that this subseryient instrument of the Sec
retary OF War did all he relates in his card.
without the knowledge and consent of his
master. is too absurd to be entertained for
one moment by. sensible people. HARDE's |
entire effort is a failure--an abortion.
The exhibition that the War Department
has made of ITSELF in the case of Mrs. SUR
RAFT, will stand out In history as an out
rage shocking to humanity and disgraceful
to the American character. ~.
