We published, few days ago, the
Chicago Platform, and the speeches of
that body, to show where the Demo
cratic party stood then Weogoi an
other year backward in its history,
and print on the second page the posi-
ton of the party IN 1868, in this State.
The facts are taken from the official
Legislative Reports, and from Demo
cratic papers, and are so we'll known
that no member of the party will at
tempt to gainsay them. 1t was. a
record which they, in their treason
able arrogance, in the dark days of
the country's trial, were proud to
make. 1t is a record which,o now,
they would be glad to wipe out
and hide, from the eyes of the
public But it will not be forgot
ten. They have suddenly found
out that the soldiers are brave and
noble men, and to whose interests
they are all devotion. When they
were in the field fighting the friends
of this party, they were hirelings and
LINCOLN dogs. Now that their votes
are needed, this party resolve the war
to be necessary and just, and the sol
diers as deserving Of every attention.
They need votes now, and hope to be-
guile some of the more simple back
into their traitor ranks. But the
Record is too well marked out to en-
able them to deceive. rotein9s

There is. a lesson for us on this side

We have frequently called the at
tenGion of our readers to theEimpQrt-
ance of first securing such guarantees
of Constitutional Legislation as will
forever put it beyond the power OF the
rebels, or their Copperhead allies at
the North, to bring about reputation,
before those, who were lately in arms
against the Nation, be admitted to rep
resentation in Congress, and be grant
ed alIsthe powers and privileges of:loy
al men. We call upon our business
men, all who are dependent upon a.
stable condition of finances for sue
cess in their enterprises to look the
danger square in the face. And we
ask the disabled soldiers, and those
who are noWeabout to receive extra
bounty from the Government, as we'll
as ALI who are ssinterested in the
prompt payment of the pensions to
the widows and orphans of cur gal
liant dead. to decide which party it is
that is most likely to care for these
interests, We claim that the admis-
sionsso Of the Southern States, without
the passage of the proposed Constitu-
tional Amendment, viii put it in their
power to 1repudiatep all these obliga-
lions, and that they design it, we call
the attention of our readers to the
following remarks of Mr.. EGGLEsToN,
of Ohio, who has just returned from
Washington City Mr. EGGLEsToN is
an old merchant of Cincinnati, who
has an eye to the business interests of
his constituents, and is alive to all
questions affecting the finances or the
pension and bounty to the soldiers.
In a speech, at Cincinnati, on Satur-
day last, he remarked: q
"Said Governor Aiken, of South Caro-
lima, when in Washington a short time
ago. when asked him why he insisted on
the'members of his State being admitted
to seats, and asked him if the interests of
his State were not taken care of Mr.. Egg
gIeston,' said he, there are two things you
have not done for us, and never win do:
We have hundreds and thousands of Wild
ows in the South, and VIM want to be in
Congress so as to place our widows on the
pension rolls of the United States, that
they may have the same support the Wild
ows of your soldiers get. The other matter
is, that we have contracted a, large debt
down South, aseyou have in the North, and
it is not right for us to- be taxed 3tofpay
your debt unless your taxes also go to pay
our debt'u.A kftp a4r,guG 75t ssi.aeA

of the rebel dead, and that the people
of thel North shall be taxed to pay
the immense Confederate debt, what
