the rebel armies were beaten, Yas not

Come mp Democrats.

The New York Times, the central
organ of the Johnson party, contin-'
ues to labor to show that not only
the Democratic party, but it's platform
of principles, have been abandoned,
and the Baltimore platform of the
Union party and Wee and Stewards
National Union Party organization
substituted. In other words. the De-
mocratic party has been dismissed,
and the Democrats hit"hod to the
tail of Mr.. Weeds kite. That We do
not misrcpresent the Times, the
reader of the following quotation,
from an editorial of Wednesday,, will
at once perceive
"And inasmuch as the platform
adopted at PhiIadclphia is substan-
tialy identical Whh that ,0hich sOas
adopted By tie Union Party at Bait
tmore an 1864, it is difficult to see
how any member of the party not ir-
revocably committed to the revolu-

The Mutilated Dispatch!

Immediately on the receipt of the news
of the heart.ess murders by the New Or
leans Police, what was alleged to be a
dispatch FROM Gen. Sheridan was pub
l;shed in the New York Times, John
son organ. Its publication was intended
to throw the responsibility of this sad
tragedy off the rebel authorities of that
disloyal city. On the receipt of the pa
pers containing this dispatch in New Or.
leans. it was stoutly denied that this was
the whole dispatch. Since then lloyd
call has been kept up by the loyal people
for the original dispatch, pure and simple,
under this pressure it has finally come to
light, and, on examination it is found
that the following significant paragraph
was suppressed.
"In the meantime official duties called
me to Texas, and the Mayor Of the city,
during my absence, suppressed the con.
vention by the Police force; and in so
doing attacked the members of the con.
vention, aud a party of two hundred ne
groes, with fire arms, clubs and knives,
IN manner SO unnecessary and attrocious
as com2eis me to say IL ,eas murder I"
Desperate indeed, mSst be the cause
whice needs such mutilation as the above
to save it from the Indignation OF an out :
ragged public sentiment. But murder
will out, and criminals will finally come
to the bar of public opinion.

objection to this, but we ask, how
wouldit be for Northern speakers to

While Southern speakers could go

respectful audiences, who does not
know that quite the opposite would
be the treatment Northern speakers
would be subjected to in the South.
The fact is pregnant with suggestion.
